Picture To Burn — Falling Notes Piano Tutorial
10 people have learned this song
Watch "Picture To Burn" by Taylor Swift 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, 118 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to build confidence with common pop chord shapes in the key of G — your right hand cycles through just five chords (G, C, D, D7, and Am7), so the real challenge is keeping transitions smooth at 118 BPM.
Pay special attention to the move from D7 to G; that added seventh wants to resolve cleanly, so land your fingers deliberately rather than rushing.
Your left hand follows an octave bass pattern, which means steady, even jumps — practice that hand alone first at around 80 BPM until the spacing feels automatic.
Once both hands are comfortable separately, bring them together slowly and loop any four-bar section that trips you up before playing straight through.
The upbeat energy rewards a light, rhythmic touch rather than heavy hands.
By the end, your I–IV–V–vi progressions in G will feel like second nature.
