How to practise it in the visualizer
- Slow it down first: start at 41 BPM, about 60% of the original 69, 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 19 notes sound together here: pause on the fullest chords and find their keys before playing on.
- The notes spread over 7.0 octaves, from E0 to E7: 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.
