does anyone know how to play this? i can't find it in the sheet music. its around 2:05 or 2:10, i don't have itunes up to be sure.

If you give me more information about where the part is I can help you:)

 

Are you talking about the studio version or an acoustic version?

pretty sure he/she means studio.

Thank you for responding.

 

It is the studio version I'm talking about. There is a piano that plays along with the strings from 2:05 to 2:17 exactly. I don't know what is being played though, because I can't find it in the sheet music.

 

Edit: Also, if you would like to help me some more (which it was nice of you just to offer to help in the first place), do you know the piano, or some piano-like, part that is played right after the first chorus.

can't help you with the first, but it's just Jonny's guitar after the first chorus. I think we have that tab lying around in case you want it.

The instrument from 1:37 to 1:50 is a guitar?

Yes, Jonny plays it by picking the high frets with some interesting effects, that doesn't mean it can't be transcribed for piano though.

I get what your saying. and yeah, I've actually transcribed a few guitar solos for piano, so I'll be able to do that. If you know where that tab is, could you please tell me. I'll try to find it now by myself.

well here's the solo book stephanbass put together last year. If you're just looking for the clear chiming notes you hear in the studio, it might be easier just to wing it by ear.

I konw exactly what you mean but I haven't figured it all out yet, I haven't really tried just tried to guess when I ocassionally play it along with the song.

I figured out what it is I'll get it written down and then post it when I'm done with school today.

it's something like

Ab Ab Ab Ab Bb G Ab Bb F F F F G Eb F G

 

from what I recall trying out, maybe it's all wrong but it's played around that I guess.

I hate to sound pushy (i'm not trying to be), but have you written it out yet?

 

 

 

And thanks for all of the help from everyone.
