Someone Like You — Visual Piano Sheet Music
38 people have learned this song
"Someone Like You" in visual bar notation — see every note as a colored bar on the staff. Easier to read than traditional sheet music. Scrolls automatically as you play. Key of A, 67 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to build confidence moving through a rich chord set in the key of A — you'll navigate nine chords including Bm7, C#m, Dmaj7, and a couple of power chords, so your left hand needs to feel secure with those block bass shapes before you layer in the right hand melody.
At 67 BPM the tempo is forgiving, but don't let that fool you: the tricky part is keeping your transitions smooth between D and Dmaj7 (just one note difference, but easy to fumble) and landing cleanly on F#m when it appears.
I'd suggest practicing hands separately first, looping the verse progression until the left-hand jumps feel automatic, then adding the melody on top.
Watch the shift into C#m especially — commit that finger position to memory so you're not hunting for it mid-phrase.
Once the chord moves are in your hands, focus on dynamics: this song lives and dies on the contrast between its quiet verses and its emotional lift.
This is the piece that'll lock in your comfort with minor seventh and major seventh shapes in a real musical context.
