Money For Nothing — Easy Piano Notes for Beginners
14 people have learned this song
Learn "Money For Nothing" on piano with easy notes — perfect for absolute beginners. Large color-coded note names show exactly which keys to press. No music reading required. Key of C, 120 BPM.
This arrangement is a fantastic workout for power chords — six of the nine chords here are power shapes, so your right hand will get very comfortable snapping between Cpow, Dpow, Gpow, and their neighbors across the keyboard.
The real challenge is your left hand: that walking bass line needs to stay locked in at 120 BPM while your right hand shifts between compact power chords and the fuller voicings like Gm7 and Bb.
Start hands-separate — get that walking bass smooth and automatic before you layer anything on top.
Once you combine hands, slow it down to around 80 BPM and loop the sections where you jump from a power chord into Gm7 or Eb, because that wider stretch tends to trip people up.
Keep your wrist relaxed through the transitions and resist the urge to rush.
By the end, your power-chord vocabulary and two-hand independence will feel noticeably sharper.
