Midnight Blue — Visual Piano Sheet Music
11 people have learned this song
"Midnight Blue" in visual bar notation — see every note as a colored bar on the staff. Easier to read than traditional sheet music. Scrolls automatically as you play. Key of C, 100 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to build confidence with suspended and extended chords — you'll move between C and Csus4, F and Fsus4, G and G7, so your fingers need to know exactly which single note shifts to make without fumbling.
Your left hand follows an oompah bass pattern throughout, alternating between a low root note and a higher chord hit, which gives the piece its steady, peaceful groove at 100 BPM.
Start by practicing that left hand alone until it feels automatic, because once you add the right-hand melody over those sus4 and sixth-chord voicings, you don't want to be thinking about both hands at once.
The trickiest spots are the quick pivots from F6 to Fsus4 and from G6 into G7 — loop those two-bar transitions slowly before speeding up.
Once these shapes sit comfortably under your hands, you'll find that sus4 resolutions start feeling intuitive in practically every pop song you touch next.
