Song Sung Blue — Falling Notes Piano Tutorial
31 people have learned this song
Watch "Song Sung Blue" by Neil Diamond 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, 105 BPM.
This arrangement is a great workout for your left hand — the walking bass pattern keeps it moving steadily between chord roots, so start hands-separate and really lock in that bass line at around 75 BPM before you layer the right hand on top.
At 105 BPM the tempo is moderate, but the eight chords mean transitions come frequently; pay special attention to the move from C to C7 and from F to Fmaj7, where you're only shifting one note but your fingers will want to lift too much if you're not deliberate.
The G7-to-Am change can also catch you off guard — practice looping just those two bars until the resolution feels automatic.
For pedal, keep it light and change with each new bass note so the walking line doesn't blur into mud.
Once the left hand feels confident on its own, you'll notice the right-hand melody almost falls into place naturally since it follows the chord tones closely.
This is really the piece that will solidify your comfort with dominant seventh chords in context — once C7 and G7 feel like old friends here, you'll recognize them everywhere.
