Yes, there have been multiple posts on this already, but none of them have what I am looking for.

Yes I have tried the only youtube "how to's" there are and I have the piano book but it just doesn't sound the same.

 

Can someone put a video tutorial on how to play the Hardest Part acoustic-piano version that Chris Martin plays live... it is just too beautiful and I have to learn it but none of the tutorials out there at the moment or the chord book sound close enough...

 

Thank you a-bunches :D

best advice: grab the X&Y sheet music book and modify whats written there. he's essentially just playing the chords that are listed there.

 

its going to be tough to get it exact, it will take lots of time and practice but you can get pretty close.

Thats waht I did. I dont know if you saw my tutorial or not, but thats how I did it. I just modified it. It isnt exact, but it s pretty close!!!! :)

that doesn't have to be exact! just take the chords and do some stuff thaat sounds good. even chris isn't playing it all the same everytime, he uses elements! you can take some from the sheet book... well actually you should always go your own way, not copying, just interpret it in your style

Also interested in this. Someone post modifications plz?

hmmm...i was just thinking about trying to find a tutorial for this today...:shrug:

Maybe this can help, this guy does it really well, and you can see what he's playing....Sort of.

he has a bad voice and he should practice the chorus... yikes, it hurts my ears, arhg!!!

 

and he finally killed postcards from far away. ZERO feeling, what a bastard... i hate him

Alright well if you can do better then why don't you prove it?

take it easy man, be cool.

im guessing its you in that video then?

No it's not me. My youtube channel is the same as my username on here, I just can't stand when people critisize something that even they themself cannot do.

well, a cannot prove it in form of any video/audio file, i'm sorry. though i can play the piano myself (i'm doing that for quite a while now!), and honestly, if you really love music, then you give a lot of feeling to it. i listened to it again, and i'm sorry for my harsh words in first place. i see the way it was recorded is not perfect for audio. however, he gives feeling to it (talking about postcards, by the way), but it's not that great. acceptable.

 

well, the voice: that's something you can't define. you like it, or you don't.

 

ps: don't take everything literally!!

Just play the Hardest Part chords from the book, they are good enough.
