Teacher’s notes

This arrangement is a great way to get comfortable with energetic pop-rock rhythm at 116 BPM while keeping the note reading manageable.

Your left hand drives the groove with an octave bass pattern — keep those octaves steady and even, because they're the engine of the whole feel.

Your right hand will cycle through seven chords, most of which sit naturally under your fingers, but watch the move into Edim and C7: those chromatic color chords can trip you up if you're not anticipating them.

I'd suggest learning the chord progression hands-separate first, especially drilling the G to Edim and C to C7 transitions until they feel automatic.

Then bring hands together at around 80 BPM before pushing toward full tempo.

The trickiest stumbling point is usually syncopation — this song wants you to land slightly ahead of where you'd expect, so tap along with the count before you play.

Once the groove clicks, resist the urge to rush; lock into that bass pulse and let the rhythm carry you.

This is the piece that'll make chromatic chord moves like diminished shapes feel like second nature in a pop context.
