The Maker — Falling Notes Piano Tutorial
Watch "The Maker" by Dave Matthews Band 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 Bb, 100 BPM.
Tip: Start at 50% speed to get comfortable with the fingering, then work your way up to full tempo.

I (Bb)stand with arms wide o pen,
I’ve (F)run a twist ed mile.
I’m a stran ger

From a (Bb)cross the great di vide,
in the dis tance I ver saw a light.

So my (Dm)bod y

Well, I can’t work
the fields of (C)A bra ham
and (F)turn my head a way.
