Salvatore — Falling Notes Piano Tutorial
61 people have learned this song
Watch "Salvatore" by Lana Del Rey 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 D, 60 BPM.
This arrangement is a wonderful way to develop your pedal bass technique — your left hand will hold or repeat a steady bass note while the harmony shifts above it, which is what gives the song its dreamy, floating quality.
At 60 BPM you have plenty of time to think, so use that space to focus on smooth chord transitions in your right hand, especially moving into the C and E chords, which sit outside the key of D and can catch your fingers off guard if you're not ready.
The F# to F#7 shift is just one added note, so keep your hand shape stable and simply lower that finger.
I'd suggest practicing hands separately at first, then looping the sections where those borrowed chords appear until the shapes feel automatic.
Once you're comfortable, add sustain pedal sparingly — change it with each new chord to keep things clear.
This is the piece that'll make pedal bass feel like second nature.
