Woman β€” Visual Piano Sheet Music

10 people have learned this song

"Woman" in visual bar notation β€” see every note as a colored bar on the staff. Easier to read than traditional sheet music. Scrolls automatically as you play. Key of Ab, 85 BPM.

Teacher’s notes

This arrangement will really stretch your chord vocabulary β€” you're navigating 23 different chords across what amounts to two key centers, Ab and B, so expect a modulation that shifts everything up a half step partway through.

Your left hand plays a block bass pattern, which keeps things rhythmically straightforward, but the real challenge is nailing those smooth transitions between extended shapes like Ebmaj9, Cm7, and Fm7 without hesitation.

Start hands-separate and slow β€” maybe 60 BPM β€” and loop the four bars around each key change until the new chord shapes sit naturally under your fingers.

Watch the sus4 chords (Bbsus4, Ebsus4, Bsus4): hold the suspension long enough before resolving, because rushing through them kills the melancholic pull that makes this song breathe.

Use pedal generously but change it cleanly on every chord switch to avoid mud.

This is the piece that'll make jazz-flavored extensions like maj9 and m7 feel like home in your hands.
