The whole sing is really just the 3 chord progression loop. Clocks is like the band's easiest song to play because it doesn't take much. If you watch the band play it live, Chris doesn't even play the piano when he sings.

THANK YOU VERY VERY VERY MUCH :D Oh my pleasure! I hope that someone else has the opportunity to do something like this for their choir!

Thanks Moses :awesome: I had to originally work off the Musicnotes sheet music which was where I wrote in everything, chords, scales, etc. But then I used Finale Songwriter on the PC to compose it. So a little of both, but mostly PC :P But for as simple as the song was, it was a bitch for write every little note :wreck:

Holy shit I swear to God do you not go to school with me? My choir teacher told me the same thing. Nobody likes Coldplay at my school but they love the song XD. The song was a bitch to write too because I don't known music theory all too good. But thank you Anita :hugs: Hahaha Coldlocked :awesome: I made this way back in October and I didn't want to release the song until we performed it which was Dec 13 :P And thanks :nice:

No he's using more complacated chords then just your basic major chords. Besides, the Champion has made a wonderful tutorial about how to play the song normally. This is like a ballad version, a more nice, raw, acoustic version. It's more complicated then just playing standard chords. Edit: I got the song off of iTunes, thank god, and it's a little more decent. I'll see if I can get anything.

Thank you Barba (if thats your name :uhoh:) Everyone's telling me that they loved it as well as the whole choir. I don't know why I still think it's far from perfect though :shame:

:nod: So...you wouldn't listen to like 20 diehard fans, but rather listen to Debs Wild, who's fantastic btw :uhoh:, even though she said the samething. :facepalm:

I'm trying to transcribe it as well. Unfortunately the only way to buy the good audio is to buy the WHOLE album which is pretty stupid. You'll make way more money by making each song like $1.29

Oh thank you Molly :nice:

I mean the progression is similar but it's not flat-out plagiarism. Coldplay samples and borrows things from people and other arts do the same thing as well. You can't just patent a chord progression or a note sequence. Besides, it's only for a portion of the song. It's not like they copied Fix You entirely and just added new lyrics. A good example is Queen's Under Pressure. Queen wrote and published the song before Vanilla Ice's Ice Ice Baby. He plagiarized Under Pressure because the whole song is the bass and piano progression of Under Pressure, right down to the tempo and timing. He didn't even give credit to Queen until after it became a hit success on the charts.

haha thanks Jack! Unfortunately with Hurricane Sandy, we lost about 2 weeks of practice and my teacher kept pushing me so it wasn't as perfect as I wanted ti to be :P

Well here it is. Took about 6 hours to teach the whole thing, took about 2-3 weeks arraigning it. Hope you enjoy...also ignore my weight-flexing conducting... [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0Nspg-Ld4M]Billys Song - YouTube[/ame]

It's too time consuming for me to actually post the notes via video editor. I try to play the bits and actually say the chords that are used if I can. I also speak out the notes which help a lot of people as well.

haha well I honestly forgot how to play it so my videos helps me as well :lol: thanks mate :nice:

I made this months ago: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEEXFjaO8wY]Viva la Vida (Live Intro) Tutorial - YouTube[/ame]

Happy Holidays Everyone!

I dont think DLiBYH is hard rock and I love that song! I think it's just...rock.../alternative. There's nothing really, "hard" about it...

86Timewarp Approves :nod:

My choir teacher's friend actually won it and opened for them once. I forget his name though :thinking: My teacher keeps telling me because I'm the only Coldplayer in the whole music department :P

Im assuming he's using a sustain pedal

God I hate that phrase, no I loath it. Christ it's Alternative people get it right :angry:

It for tells the futureh :uhoh:

:uhoh:

Coldplay's not big in the radio where I am. The only time I heard 2+ songs in a day was the 3 days they had a radio contest for the concert in East Rutherford. I'm still surprised to hear Clocks every so often.
