I want to learn the freaing intro, I'll post a tutorial on the basic song if you want; BUT ME WANT THE INTRO!!!!!

oh... I have the sheets somewhere, but I dunno where. I think I got them by searching some pinned thread or other here. :thinking: try that?

 

as an aside, it's a fun song to play. Very repetitive. not that hard at all. but still very fun. plus it's in 6/8. fun by definition.

Oh, intro you want?

 

It's an improvisation kind of thing.

I won't record it because I can't.

 

First you have Bb chord with D on the base. Notes in between are Bb, and A to enter the Eb chord with Eb on the Base. Then you have again Bb chord with D on the base and notes are Bb and Bb,Eb to enter a weird chord (Bb, [D], Eb) with Eb on the base again. Notes after Bb,Eb->D->Bb.

Then the rest is easy. You play F chord somewhere low with F on the base. And then Eb chord with Eb on the base. You do exactly the same one more time but this time with D on the base instead of F. You can play some notes inbetween if you want.

I made one, but it kinda of sucks...I had it perfectly layed out in the text, but it got disstorted

Thanks! And I'm not a music theory savvy person so I'll try to read this as best I can, but I really like to thank you

Could you make a video tutorial for that?

 

Here you go [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2tGV9NaMfY]YouTube - ‪How to play Life is For Living - Coldplay on Piano‬‏[/ame] Sorry if it sucks

I play it in a different way (easier I think) and still sounds good, so even if he goes improvising for some parts it's still ok. I'm sure it'll help him.

I hope my description also helped you a little. I'm sorry that it's so confusing but didn't know how to explain it. Just listen to the video and you'll get it. Well I could record it but it would be only video, no audio.

 

Now I neeever ... Wait. What? No it's: Now I never meant

hahaha made me laugh xD

 

Do you know how to play the "aaah, aaah, aaah" part or should I write it too?

Lmfao I'm very pitchy in the morning and if you want. The sheet music from the Live 2003 is kinda hard to read so please go for it! As for the notes I just wrote them down and I'm testing them now

You may have morning now, but I have an evening already :P

Tomorrow my dad will bring a phone with a good camera so I'll record it with audio and video showing which not I hit.

Do you want anything else beside Life is for Living?

Do you know the ending to the Scientist when Chris plays it live? Like after the last verse after the ooo's? It's like chords that are going up...Do you need the ending to fix you? I can show you that. I know you showed me singing in the rain but if you can make a video I would love it. But other then that thank you! Do what you can and take your time

Ah right, Singing In The Rain, of course. And yes I can play the ending of Fix You. I will think about The Scientist I remember I play something different but don't know if it's what you want. Can you show me a video? And I'll think about other things played live too and try to record some of it if I'll manage.

Really it's not a problem, so if you would need anything else just say it.

Thanks a lot man, I really appreciate it!

Okay.

Some of the new songs too?

 

What I'm really hooked on is Hurts like Heaven, followed by Charlie Brown and Us Against the World.

Good, I think I can play all of them.

 

Thanks man!... I'm starting to think your secretly Will...
