David_Batford Posted February 4, 2009 Author Share Posted February 4, 2009 Or are that the chords of the normal version of viva la vida? Anyone who knows the normal chords of the song for piano? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r2ro Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Almost the same as in the PVG book.Ā That has the chord progression in the left hand as:Ā Db, Ab Eb, Bb, Db Ab, C F, Ab, CĀ The C is Middle C. All the chords are written with the lowest note first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David_Batford Posted February 4, 2009 Author Share Posted February 4, 2009 Thank you very much, but what does he play with his right hand? the same notes but an octave higher? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David_Batford Posted February 4, 2009 Author Share Posted February 4, 2009 And one more question are that that you said before exact the same notes? or are that chords? for example Bb = Bb,d, and f i have to push? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r2ro Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Thank you very much, but what does he play with his right hand? the same notes but an octave higher?Ā Nothing! I'm sure live Chris just plays that with his left hand and then that goes on a loop for almost the entire song whilst he jumps around the stage, with Johnny using a keyboard to add the violin effects.Ā If you wanted to do a piano version then you'd keep going with those chords in you're left hand and I suppose you could just play the top note from each chord in the right.Ā And one more question are that that you said before exact the same notes? or are that chords? for example Bb = Bb,d, and f i have to push?Ā No they're just the individual notes. So for the first one you'd just play the note Db and the note Ab together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David_Batford Posted February 24, 2009 Author Share Posted February 24, 2009 Please help me what chris does play in this video, the acoustic version of viva la vida. And it's very important to know what the high notes are that he plays there, please look the complete video and say it to me. Because at the end or near the end the last part of the song it sounds like he plays other keys or chords Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldplay45 Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Ok the right hand plays the chord Db(1st inversion), Eb(1st inversion), Ab(root), Fm(root) I'm not 100% sure the inversion are right but they are close enough. The whole song is basically those four chords the whole time, but the inversions do change.Ā Ā The left goes Db(4 beats), Eb(8 beats), F(4 beats) (single notes)Ā the part right before the singalong the right hand goes Db, Fm, Db, Fm, Db, Fm, AbĀ You will have to figure all the passing tones out by ear, its good practice:DĀ EDIT: remember you don't have to do exactly what Chris does, play around with the chords, and do your own thing.

adamschoales Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 sounds like he's just playing the chords of the melody (like if he sings a C he plays a c chord).Ā try downloading the VLV book (its in here) and learning from that, its very close to what he's doing.
