November Blue — Falling Notes Piano Tutorial
4 people have learned this song
Watch "November Blue" by The Avett Brothers 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, 180 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to develop your left-hand octave bass pattern — you'll be stretching between root notes in steady octaves under Am, C, F, G, and G7, which builds both reach and consistency.
Even though the marking is 180 BPM, the ballad feel means the pulse moves in a relaxed three, so don't let that number intimidate you; start around 120 and let your hands settle into the shape of each chord before speeding up.
The trickiest transition here is moving from F to G7 — that added seventh wants to catch your right hand off guard, so loop just those two bars hands-separately until the fingering feels automatic.
Watch your pedal changes on the Am passages especially; holding too long will blur the melancholic color into mud.
Once the chord cycle feels easy, focus on keeping your dynamics soft and even — this is the piece that will teach you how to make five simple chords sound genuinely expressive.
