How to Practice Make You Feel My Love on Piano
Adele / Bob Dylan
About this piece
Originally written by Bob Dylan and made iconic by Adele's piano-driven arrangement. The simple, heartfelt chord progression and gentle tempo make it an ideal piece for beginners who want to play something emotionally powerful.
Practice tips
- The chord progression (Bb-F/A-Ab-Eb) uses a descending bass line (Bb-A-Ab-G) — practice the left-hand bass movement as a smooth, connected line independent of the chords.
- The right hand plays the vocal melody in single notes — listen to Adele's version and match her phrasing, especially the way she lingers on certain words.
- Add a gentle broken chord pattern in the left hand during the chorus to build texture, returning to simple bass notes for the intimate verse.
Common mistake
Playing the chromatic bass descent too loudly — it should be a subtle, almost hidden movement that the listener feels rather than consciously hears.
