This is the way I play it. Figure out the timing and such yourself:

 

(B,E) (same time), then tap F#, then hit (B,F#), then tap Eb, then (B,C#), then tap C, then (A, C)

 

It all descends except for the first 3 hits, where it ascends. I hope that's what you're talking about anyways. The faster part before the verses right??

I was talking about the first verse, heres a picture of what I need help on, it's in the second bar.

 

 

thanks

Oh, okay, well it's the same first 4 chords as the intro, so I assume you're talking about those two wierd chords in the middle. What you do is play the second chord from the intro, but you change the Eb's to Db's, and then the two quick notes are A#, and F#. After that you hit (A, Db, E) and then tap A again.

 

Sorry if I butchered explaining it, but the notes are right anyhow.

oh cool thanks, I've been so busy and tired the past few days I havn't had the patience to tab it myself, thanks again!

If you even attempt to play this song on the piano...you are considered a saint.

 

Haha, good luck with that!

haha, thanks for the good luck, I've got the first verse pretty much down!

Lol, the song does take quite a bit of practice but once you get it down it's pretty much second nature.

 

Oh, and I made a mistake on the notes... a small one. You know when you do the very last bit, the A# then the F#, then that chord and then you hit A... well you don't hit A, you hit the E that's father down close to the F#, so it doesn't sound like you go down and then up randomly.

Yeah i can play that song, i'll record myself.

^^That sounds sweet. I've only heard one amsterdam cover and it's gone now.

Ok done, here's the link.

[glow=green]Stuck on the end of this ball

and chain

And I'm on my way back down.

Stood on the edge

Tied to a noose

Sick to the stomach

You can say what you mean

But it won't change a sin

I'm sick of the secrets

Stood on the edge, tied to a noose

and you came along but you cut me loose

You came along and you cut me loose

You came along and you cut me loose.[/glow]

thanks for the link!!!

its my favourite song... job well done, audio is kinda choppy but very well done:D

i love Amsterdam, it would have been nice to hear some singing!:)

Awesome. You inspired me to take some of my own videos, though not of the piano like I wanted.

 

Waiting for youtube to upload.....

Impressive stuff.

I can play that one with my eyes closed :wink3:

Me too. You don't even have to look at the keys cos all the notes are together.

I like the way you do diminuendo's and forte's :) sounds great.. i especially like Amsterdam! ;)

Thanks! Nice avatar of Torres by the way..he scored Spain's nicest goal imo.
