Old Time Rock & Roll — Falling Notes Piano Tutorial
12 people have learned this song
Watch "Old Time Rock & Roll" by Bob Seger 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 G, 130 BPM.
This arrangement is a great workout for your left hand's octave bass pattern — you'll be jumping between G, C, and D octaves at a brisk 130 BPM, so accuracy and relaxation in that hand are everything.
Start hands-separate and at about 80 BPM; lock in each octave landing before you even think about adding the right hand melody on top.
When you do combine hands, the trickiest moment is usually the move from C up to D, because it comes fast and your left hand has to reposition cleanly while your right hand keeps the rhythm steady.
Resist the urge to tense up during those transitions — keep your wrist loose and let your arm guide the jump.
Once you're comfortable at tempo, add a little sustain pedal on each chord change to fill out the sound without blurring things together.
With just three chords in a classic I–IV–V shape, this is the piece that'll make that progression feel automatic in your hands, and that muscle memory pays off in hundreds of other rock and pop songs.
