Well there's a Bass thread so why not a Piano Thread;)

 

All piano or keyboards players can talk and share music here. We know your out there.

oh! oh! I'm in :cool:

I seriously need help. I need a new song to learn but can't think of a good one.....something that looks like I've been playing for years and will WOW!!! people lol....hummmmm any suggestions??????

100 Years by FIve For FIghting...I know I've already suggested it for a different reason on another thread, but it honestly works here too. It sounds fairly cmplex, but it's really only 4 or 5 chords, and it's really pretty.

 

Or In My Life by the Beatles.

a piano thread! yay! :D

i love piano so much. i've been playing 12 years this year.

twistedclocks (sorry, i'm not sure of your real name :embarassed: ) - what about Apocalypse Please by Muse? once you have the chords down and the rhythm and everything right, you can just go crazy and play as loud as possible :D it's really, really fun to play. :nice:

Muse are great for keyboard players...once you lock into a sequence and get it up to speed, you can go nuts...good call, Claire!

 

Here's that 100 Years link...it's pretty mellow, but still nice.

It's in G, BTW.

thanks Tracie! i'm gonna have a listen to the song, it sounds good :nice:

I started learning How To Save A Life by The Fray. It is kinda simple, but really hard at the same time. But I started playing it good the other night.

thanks guys, I've already done most of 100 years but I haven't played it for a while haha it's not very good eck! and I can play HTSAL by the fray but have forgotten already hehe, and I did try some muse but I donno, I think I'll just stick with bess the broken road, it's really fun once you get the main parts down ;) but the thing I hate is that the sheet music doesn't continue with the piano in the background it says to play the voice if you get what I mean....I hate when they do that grrrrr.

:(

 

I never had chance to (know how to) play piano.

It's been my dream for a long long time.

 

Either I have no time...or no one to show me how.

 

Do you have a cure for that?

*hopeful :happy:*

I know when Sheet Music does that. Sometimes even with Coldplay Sheets:confused:

Well what I did is I got a keyboard and just keeped playing for 3 years. I know that sounds stupid, but I have never had a leasson before and I do pritty good on the Piano. If anything I would just get leason for a trained Pianoist. Hope it helps;)

I've had piano lessons when I was younger, but I got a keyboard two christmas's ago. Nothing special, but works okay for my small recording setup. I can play clocks and trouble a little bit, but I mostly transcribe guitar to the keyboard and vice versa. I would probaby be a much better if I actually sat down and tried.

 

I'm working on a Pink Floyd cover and I'ver brought out the keys tonight to play the chords, and the little chorus fill in Comfortably Numb.

 

Cheers to the Pianist in here!

Hallelujah a piano thread! I just got mine tuned last week and I can't stop playing it. I'll probably record some Coldplay just cause it sounds so damn good now.

 

The link in my sig is to my music myspace, but the piano really is out of tune I guess. Whatever, it still sounds pretty good. :) Check it out if ya want.

easy my friend buy ur self a keyboard (nothing to special in case piano isn't ur fortay) and start with easy stuff, u don't even need to know the notes (although it helps of course) the 'how to vids' on youtube show you how ;) I remember when I started out (bout a year ago) with a crappy keyboard I might add I was so shit it was just sad and I was so excited when I could play the starting of clocks and that was when I didn't even play it with the black keys lol. and now I'm playing tons of full songs and the songs I like. it is totally worth it in the end even just for playing for urself. give it a chance you wont regret it :cool:

I love playing piano. I wish I could get new notes somewhere :)

Easy, just ask here for some songs and see what some members can give you.;)

 

 

 

OK, so I kinda feel weird about saying this but........What is the key signature for G# dim and F#7 aug or even better, what are the 2nd and 3rd set of notes played in Everything's Not Lost? I have the Coldplay Live 2003 Sheet Book, but everytime I play it. It just sounds not right. So can anyone help??

^ sorry can't help have no clue what your on about he he

 

can you imagine i'm trying to learn piano --- well keyboard--- on my own by learning some coldplay songs.

 

using some youtube tutorials because i downloaded some stuff from threads here but cant really read the music.

 

so far can play the opening of trouble and a bit of clocks yay.....but eh that's as far as the tuts go and its getting repetitive lol.

i've been writing some music lately...hopefully i can get some buddies to jam with and we might have something...nothing crazy just simple piano riffs...a handful of lyrics...yadda yadda blah blah blah...pretty chill

Only been playing for 10 months myself.

Took some lessons early on to learn the basics and now I'm teaching myself the bluuues.

The 'Bobby Slim' link in my sig leads to my myspace page if you're interested in hearing a few recordings.

There's also a bunch here: http://soundclick.com/bobbyslim

@byron:

i learned piano without a teacher. look on youtube, look on wikipedia how to read notes and stuff like that.

i am playing for 6 month now and it is possible to play whole coldplay songs after that time, without a teacher.

 

but i will take lessons next month

 

 

good luck and just try

 

(and you should have a keyboard or piano, otherwise it will be difficult)

Easy, just ask here for some songs and see what some members can give you.;)

Damn, it's hard to explain this in English! Anyways, I'll give it a try...

So dim is from diminuated and aug is from augmented (do these words even exist?). So a dim chord has just small terces and an aug chord has just big terces.:laugh3: Does anyone understand what I want to say here?

So let me give you an example: the C aug chord is made from the C, E and G# notes (you can add another C too, at the end) and the C dim chord is C, Eb, Gb and A (can add the high C here too). The dim chord goes up with a half note to a minor chord (what?:) ). So after a C dim chord put a C# minor chord and so on. It will sound good.

Now the G# dim is G#, B, D and F. The F#7 aug is F#, A# and D. I dont't know what they want with that 7. Can try and F or an E. Depends on how the original sounds. Thats about it. Hope you understood something.

I'm in too :)

Anybody know how to play the live version of Life Is For Living perhaps?

 

I'm trying to figure out the intro and I only have two chords worked out.

hey piano-players

(awesome by the way)

at the beginning: what is chris playing with his left hand? the beginning, so before the guitar starts and so.

i mean, i have the sheet, but there is something different written.

(sorry i have no idea of technical terms in music) in the sheet are only 3 accords written

 

anybody understood?:rolleyes:
