Hey guys,

when coldplay played at the superarea in toyko, after talk, chris played a famous, almost chinese sounding piano riff that everyone has heard. It goes da dadada da da daaaa da. does anyone know the name of the song, or how to play it?

 

thanks.

I know how to play it!!!! I love that little piece he plays!! I dont think its an actual song though. He played it at the concert I went to as well.

 

the left hand is not 100% correct, but its close. The right hand is 100% correct though.

 

 

 

 

Left hand plays the lowest octave on your keyboard. The octave is a C#

 

 

The right hand plays an octave also. Finr middle C and then do the octave above that. That note is a C#. Then you play C, B, Bb, A, G#, and F#. Just move down with octaves.

 

 

SO you do it like this:

 

LH - hit the octave once then do the right hand, then the Let and again. Then you do the right hand again but just move up a higher octave. Its really confusing but FUN to play!!!

 

 

You can try to work it out yourself. So once again the notes are C#, C, B, Bb, a, G#, F#

 

 

Thats it. Then the last time Chris plays it he goes down every single key. So for example:

 

C#, C, B, Bb, A, G#, G, F#, F, E, Eb, D, C#, C, B, then up to Db.

 

I dont know how to play the other part at the end. The da do da da..... da da. diink... Still working on that!!

 

 

I hope that wasnt to confusing. If it can help, I can try to make a tutorial!!!

that thatd be awesome ive seen yours before they really help thanks a lot

OK, I will make it and upload it as soon as possible!!! ;)

ok. Here is the video!!! I hope its not to confusing!! Enjoy!!
