Teacher’s notes

This arrangement is a great way to build comfort with seventh chords — your right hand will cycle through Am7, Dm7, Fmaj7, Cmaj7, and several G and C voicings, so take a moment before you play to find each shape and notice how many share common tones.

Your left hand follows an oompah bass pattern: root on the beat, chord on the "and," steady and unhurried at 100 BPM.

Practice that left hand alone first until it feels automatic, because the real challenge is keeping it smooth when your right hand shifts between shapes.

Watch the move into Bb — it's the one chord outside the key of C and tends to catch people off guard, so loop that bar a few times.

Use gentle sustain pedal, lifting on each new chord change to keep the melancholic mood warm but not muddy.

By the end, you'll have eleven chord shapes under your fingers — that's a serious vocabulary win.

Does it show chords so I can play along on guitar or piano?
It does — a chord symbol sits on a thin row just above the lyric it changes on, so the same screen doubles as a lyrics-and-chords chart. Guitarists can strum the changes and pianists can comp while singing; the chords are colour-coded and move with the live transpose if you change key.
Can I change the key of "Still" to match my voice or capo?
Yes. The original is in C, but the live transpose control shifts the whole song up or down semitones until the melody sits in your range (or maps to an easier guitar shape / capo position) — the on-screen chords and the backing move with it.
Can I slow "Still" down to learn the words and chords?
Yes — the tempo control lets you take it as slow as you need while the lyrics still light up in time and the ball keeps you on the beat. Speed it back up once you can sing and play it through.
