Does anyone have any clue how to play the piano part at the end of "All I Need" on In Rainbows? I have it close but not exactly right and my band is doing a cover so I need as much help as I can get.

please?

I'll try to transcribe it as best I can... how soon do you need it?

as soon as possible. Thanks:D

What do you have so far? I could use what you have already figured out or what you think you've figured out as a jumping off point. I know the first chord of the piano part is B-minor, but then after that it gets hard to hear what's going on and the chords start to sound really weird.

I basically have nothing, but knowing it starts with b minor helps a lot. Now I can closely listen and watch and try to figure it out.

 

 

BTW: 3,000th Post! Whoooooooooohooooooooooooo!!!:jester::juggle::whip::smash::gossip:

It's in C of course, weird type of csus where a bunch of notes are right next to eachother so you get that percussive sound from the chords. They have the book at guitar center, I had planned on saving myself a few bucks by memorizing the chords, but I never got around to it.

 

oh...and congrats on your 3kth post! I don't think I'll ever get that high.

The song may start in C, but by the part of the song in question it's changed to G.

 

I really don't know, 2732. I've been listening to it a lot and I still can't figure it out. The first chord is Bmin, possibly Bmin7 because now I think I hear an A in there, too. The note F# appears in most of the chords, I think, and in most cases the top note of the chord goes back and forth from B to C. Other than that, I really, honestly, truly have no clue. I have perfect pitch and I still can't figure it out.

 

The problem is moreso that I can't hear what the hell is going on with the piano! If there were some way you could isolate just the piano part in the song then I'd be all set. I know they did this with Nude when they sold it on iTunes; they sold each individual part separately so listeners could create remixes and whatnot. If we could separate just the piano part, I could do this no problem, but the guitars and the xylophone and the strings and everything else are really getting in the way so I really can't hear the piano part at all.

 

I'm sorry man, but I don't really know what else I can do. :(

I tried to transcribe it. It is a bit hard to transcribe that.

So I did by best...

The timing could be wrong, it's just to let you know what I was trying to do.

Here it is:

Just keep repeating that.(there is no big chord change as far as I can hear in it.)

Thanks a lot for all the help. I'll try out that sheet music. I know he plays the part with only one hand used (Live performance of it) so it doesnt have any definite bass notes being played. Ill just experiment around a little.

Oh didnt know that! :P SO add the B note to your RIGHT hand..! :P

Oh didnt know that! :P SO add the B note to your RIGHT hand..! :P

but there is 1 big problem. There is a very obvious chord change, it doenst stay the same throughout. If you listen to the song it's like 3 measures of that chord then it sounds like it goes maybe a whole step up but Im not sure, and in the live performance the camera is sideways to the piano so you cant tell where his hand is.

He use here 2 hands!:

It sounds

 

BAM - BAM - BAM - BAM- LOWER - LOWER

Found this, hard to see.. but it is above the piano.. maybe you can find it better?

Yeah, it is something like that, maybe a whole step down or something. But for the In Rainbows-Live from the Basement he only uses 1 hand at the beginning then adds the base note. its just really confusing me. I guess if I could just figure out those 2 chords I could repeat them and it would sound fine as the bass guitar would take care of the rest.
