How to Play All of Me on Piano
John Legend
About this piece
All of Me is a beginner piano piece by John Legend that most students can learn in 2-3 weeks.
A modern wedding classic with a gospel-tinged chord progression. The four-flat key signature uses mostly black keys in the left hand, which actually makes the hand positions more comfortable than they look.
Practice tips
- The intro's Ab-Fm-Db-Eb progression uses inversions to minimize hand movement — find the voicings where your hand barely has to shift between chords.
- In the pre-chorus ('Cards on the table'), the left hand switches to a walking bass line — practice this transition separately as it's the trickiest moment.
- Voice the right-hand melody notes on beats 1 and 3 slightly louder to capture the vocal rhythm, especially in the chorus where the melody syncopates.
Common mistake
Struggling with the key signature by trying to read every accidental — instead, learn the four flats (Bb, Eb, Ab, Db) once and trust your hands on the black keys.
