Wheels — Falling Notes Piano Tutorial
9 people have learned this song
Watch "Wheels" by Jamie Cullum 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, 138 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to get comfortable with extended major chords — your right hand will move between C, C6, and Cmaj7 shapes, which only differ by one or two notes each time, so focus on keeping your hand relaxed and letting just one finger shift while the others stay anchored.
Your left hand holds a pedal bass pattern, meaning you'll sit on the root note C for long stretches before moving to F or G — simple, but at 138 BPM you need that hand locked in steady and even so the rhythm doesn't drift.
Start hands-separate and slow, especially through the F to F6 to Fmaj shifts where the voicing changes are subtle and easy to fumble.
Once you can loop the verse smoothly at around 100 BPM, gradually bring it up to tempo.
This is the piece that'll make jazzy major-chord extensions feel like second nature under your fingers.
