The Bitch Is Back — Falling Notes Piano Tutorial
72 people have learned this song
Watch "The Bitch Is Back" by Elton John 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 Db, 132 BPM.
This arrangement is a great workout for playing confidently in Db major, where your hands need to feel at home on all those black keys — if you're not used to that, spend a minute just landing each chord shape (Db, Ab, Gb, Fm, Eb7) cleanly before you hit play.
At 132 BPM the energy is relentless, so your left hand's block-bass pattern needs to be rock-steady; lock it in at around 90 BPM first, then bump up gradually until the groove feels automatic.
Watch the Eb7 especially — that added seventh wants to resolve to Ab, and rushing that transition is the most common stumble I see.
The move from Gb to Fm can also catch you off guard if your fingers aren't already anticipating the shift, so loop that two-chord change until it's effortless.
Once both hands are comfortable separately, bring them together at a slower tempo and focus on keeping your rhythm punchy and even — this is pop-rock, so crisp attacks matter more than sustain.
By the time you're up to speed, you'll have seriously leveled up your fluency in flat-key chord shapes, which pays off in a huge number of pop songs down the road.
