No Scrubs — Falling Notes Piano Tutorial
19 people have learned this song
Watch "No Scrubs" by TLC in falling notes style — like Synthesia. Color-coded notes fall onto the keyboard in real time. Practice left hand, right hand, or both. Key of C, 100 BPM.
This arrangement is a great workout for jazzy chord shapes — you'll move through thirteen chords including Cm7, Ebmaj7, Ebmaj9, and F9, so get comfortable stretching into those extended voicings before you try full speed.
The good news is your left hand holds a pedal bass pattern, meaning it stays anchored while your right hand does the harmonic heavy lifting.
Start hands-separate at around 70 BPM: drill just the right-hand chord changes until the jumps between Gm7 and Ebmaj7 feel automatic, then layer the left hand in.
At 100 BPM the groove is relaxed enough to breathe, but watch for the syncopated pushes — tap the rhythm on your lap first so you internalize the funk feel rather than rushing through it.
The trickiest transitions are around the D7-to-Gb shifts; loop those four bars until they're muscle memory.
This is the piece that'll make seventh chords feel like home under your fingers.
