On Top Of The World — Falling Notes Piano Tutorial
13 people have learned this song
Watch "On Top Of The World" by Imagine Dragons 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 way to build confidence with suspended and color chords in a pop context.
Your left hand plays block chords throughout, so the main challenge isn't complex patterns — it's nailing clean transitions between closely related shapes like C and Csus2, or G, Gsus4, and Gpow.
Pay close attention to which finger lifts or shifts when moving between a chord and its suspended variant; often it's just one note changing, so keep your hand anchored and move only what needs to move.
At 100 BPM the tempo is moderate, but the upbeat feel can tempt you to rush, so practice with a metronome and lock in the pulse before adding speed.
Start hands-separate, getting your left-hand chord changes automatic before layering in the melody.
Loop the verse progression — the C to F to Am to G cycle and its variants — until it feels effortless.
This is the song that'll make sus chords feel like second nature in your playing.
