Spicks And Specks — Falling Notes Piano Tutorial
43 people have learned this song
Watch "Spicks And Specks" by Bee Gees 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, 100 BPM.
This arrangement will stretch your chord vocabulary in a big way — you're navigating sixteen different chords, many of them chromatic surprises like Ab, C#m, and Eb that pull you well outside the key of G.
Start hands-separate: get your left hand comfortable with the pedal bass pattern first, since holding or repeating that anchor note while your right hand shifts through unexpected chord shapes is the core coordination challenge here.
At 100 BPM the tempo is gentle, but those chromatic transitions — especially moving between natural and flat or sharp root chords — can trip you up if you haven't mapped the finger moves in advance.
Loop any two-bar passage where the harmony shifts chromatically until the hand shape changes feel automatic.
Watch your sustain pedal carefully during those shifts; a pedal bass can blur fast if you're not clearing it on each new chord.
This is the piece that'll make unfamiliar chord colors feel like home under your fingers.
