How to practise it in the visualizer
- Slow it down first: start at 83 BPM, about 60% of the original 139, and speed up as the notes become familiar.
- Solo the “Guitar” track to hear one part at a time, then bring the others back in.
- Up to 15 notes sound together here: pause on the fullest chords and find their keys before playing on.
- The notes spread over 5.2 octaves, from C♯1 to E♭6: keep an eye on both ends of the keyboard.
- Each falling bar lands on the key to press; its length is how long to hold the note.
