Coldplay - Violet Hill (w/ tutorial)

[pantiliminn]

I can't even describe how much I loved this. Usually I don't watch covers because they're usually full of Suckish wannabes, but I think this was wonderfully, amazingly brilliant and I think you are so talented. I wish I could play like that. Haha anyways great job, way to go. :)

[TheAndreIsAndre]

Brilliant, and amazing cover of this song. Great tutorial, but what are the notes for the melody; are they the same as the bass chords?

[TheSHOCK00000]

me encanta esta cancion

[Skyrim97]

This is my favorite cover of yours man, sounds awesome!

[justinSstinnett]

Man, this is beyond awesome

[uriahgunn1]

Man, this is great! I've listened to the other tutorials and they aren't anything like this!

I'd just listen to this all day!!

[dsrvu]

Can you please provide the notes for the melody part too ?. Please .....

[dsrvu]

i thought your cover video was one of the best in youtube for the song violet hill. Now the tutorial is the best tutorial foe this song. Thank you very much.

[RSBlue95]

i cant read music well but does "G#" mean G minor?

[danio1021]

@RSBlue95 no it's another chord, it means G# minor, G# is simply a note on the first black key from G on the right :D

[SilverStreamMoose]

@RSBlue95 g minor has the notes g, b flat and d

g shrp is another chord and can be minor or major. it is another note. 

[Coldplay575]

Coldplay rules all, and you are really good too! :)

[u2norton]

totally badass!!!! great job!!!

[Tomahawk1505]

This is FANTASTIC 2:27 epic ending

[Tomahawk1505]

This is FANTASTIC

[Daz4emah]

i agree with emmarox it made me well up and im a guy. your fricking awesome dude wish i could play like you!!

[shooter0078]

Dude, have you written any songs of your own? I bet they'd be great!

[Frostlikewindsong]

Where do you get the sheet music?

[1337epsilon]

@Frostlikewindsong i want it too... hey!!! @doublsh0t sheet music plz :3

[joonie9l0]

WOOOOWA!!!

I LOVE IT!

[PurpleSwampHen]

Are those all major chords in the left hand?

[uluvmyvids]

EPICALLY SPEECHLESS

[TyisC]

Hey man great work you are skilled

i was hopeful you could make a slower tutorial.

Unfortunately there are no tutorials which resemble how you play the song so i would greatly appreciate it.

[ev0ra5]

i'm putting you on my blog..soon

[donaldjoseph7]

Man. That is great. ! Keep it up!

[samrigatoni]

can u do another one but slower? u play amazingly:DDD

[ponyboyunicorn15]

I'm having a problem figuring out which chords you're playing. There are many chords for each note and I dont feel like going through each one. It would be more helpful if you named the specific chords to play instead of just the notes.

[seimen86]

absolutely great video - but could you do a version with more explanations? especially because the audio and the vid aren't perfectly synchronized, that makes it quite difficult to learn how to play...

nevertheless: chris martin couldn't have played it better himself ;-)

[leightviewer]

i dont get how you play the chords.. can someone help explain... i dont get how your fingers are moving..

[skaterjdub]

hey doubles0t I've been a great follower of your video u do a great job of covering coldplay songs

if this is not to much to ask can u do the last part of the song slowly u dont have to break it i just need to see it slow enough to see the right hand part im almost done with the whole song i just need the last part and i need it for a small gig can u please help me out

thanks

[marko5080]

The C# and F# are actually minors.

[Bella381]

Beautifull

[phietjee]

Hi, I really do like the song! Is it possible to put thr music sheet on internet? That would be very Nice

[k3n60dahalokid]

Nice tutorial, but I am sure Chris Martin plays a piano part (not a vocal part) on his right hand too. I can hear it in the song. Can you make a tutorial with both hands? Thank You! You see this is almost all I need. Everyone else just does a tutorial with the vocal part which I don't want.

[doublsh0t]

lol, naturally he doesn't play the melody of what he's singing on the piano at the same time, that's what my cover is doing--trying to capture the full effect of the song, background and foreground at once the best I can. The tutorial is of my way, not the official piano part for the song.

[Izzastrophe]

Most do that because many popular piano songs just play the same notes in the right as the left, or just an octave of the same chord in the right hand, on the left. So it's pretty boring to just do that.

[samhathaway92]

ya there is a different right hand part, but it wouldn't sound this good without the melody.

[11KUDOS11]

can u please put up a tutorial for the right hand????:D

[GomperChomper]

dude that keyboard has amazing tone!!! what kind is it? all i can see is the yamaha logo

[doublsh0t]

thanks! I love it, it's a Yamaha ypg-625/635

[h3arty]

@GomperChomper i know, that's what i was thinking, it's seriously good

[Izzastrophe]

Dude, Yamaha. Enough said.

[figur3skat3r]

woow!!

i wasnt sure if itd be possible to make the song sound just like how it normally does with just the piano but WOW

that was BEAUTIFUL...beyond that even.

tutorial please?

[GuilleRanalli]

It make me cry !! XDDDD this i smy fav song of coldplay U.u

[BBEKS]

wow! i wish to be as good as you someday...

[anthlocal]

Teach me how!!

[cosmes95]

wow

[Myyaniraeva]

it's great because u put to the rythm its emotion feeling the music,and the music having ur feeling, it's harmonical

[Mikichan1180]

The chords are an amazing help! Along with the angle of the camera. Thank you!

[sgtryoung]

Very good job, but why are you only putting the left hand notes on the tutorial ?

[aketzah]

This is not a tutorial...

[LJPfilm]

yer it is, it says the chords dumbass, u should know how to play piano before u try to learn something

[godwhatcanihave]

no its not dick.

You should learn to shred before you learn chords?

[LJPfilm]

wtf is wrong with you maybe you should learn to not be a faggot b4 you die

[jkjennyok]

SO KwEl!!!

[Polkadot93m]

so cool man:D...

[Hinatachick9225]

can you slow it down and do the right and left hand seperately? great vid tho

[everlong42]

That's horrible. I'm sorry. Your story gave this song meaning for me too. I hope all is well with you.

[Code1127]

great playing mate, I know song isn't complicated but maybe show left hand keys and right hand keys seperately

[125lama]

wow nice sound and tutorial

thanks alot

[oaknutter16]

i dont think its much of a tutorial cuz it gies too fast it doesnt explain

[toorn2]

i don't understand... it is the same tempo as the song... i looked at this video twice and i knew what to play...

the best tip i could give you is to watch his left hand closely... with his tiny finger he hits twice the deepest note :)

[jack8147]

i don't think there is an E# on the piano.

F#, F, E, D#. E# IS AN F. but still great tutorial.

[AngelasAwesome]

technically E# is F

[Orlandoyeliya]

sta xvre pro enseña pz a tocar..mas despacio eso no es un tutorial..weno pz.

[RHCPtvv]

what tutorial?! this sucks

[frihet13]

Yamaha dgx 630

[bessid]

Oh : D You got talent!! what type of keybord is it? :O

[coldplayrocksearth]

varry nice but its a bit hard to learn

but still a god vid

[buddickinson]

Hey, could you please pm me the tabs?

[goodgirl8790]

[bigsexypanda]

This is an awesome video, i just wish you showed the right hand notes, for us super noobs.

[HaloBlakes]

Oh great DGX 630, I Love You !!!!!!!!!!

Nice ;)

[rockerdrummer92]

this is a really great video, I've been learning this song from it pretty well. the only hard part that I'm experiencing difficulty is the end which doesn't seem that hard at first

[Rajnoow]

you know what i think

hes just chris martin himself

and hes all fooling us right now

[njdelima1995]

you played this really well

[wilsterox]

wow nice

[Rees473]

The keyboard sounds great! Perfect cover!

[Treyodon1]

mate wheres the right hand chord. i love your work but don't do only half the song. teach the right hand next time

[AdjustedSubstance]

um the note things is that only for the left hand cause i dont know i cant even read music my dad baught me a keyboard for no reason.

[Maxcheee]

I want to buy a new keyboard, what kind of keyboard is this?

I hope you will respond quickly

[doublsh0t]

It's a Yamaha YPG-625. I like mine a lot so I'd recommend it to you.

[Maxcheee]

thanks for the quick reply, oke thank you very much! I will think about it:) your keyboard sounds like a piano, and that is what I'm looking for:)

[YKM]

i have the same, and yeah it's really good. ( could be a bit louder though i think )

[smokeyspartakus]

Sorry. Didn't see he already replyed ;)

[treeperson0]

Subscribed! You are amazing! Keep up the good work! Youtube should spotlight you...

[mildlyoff]

hahahaha, I love listening to your music and then typing away at my computer keyboard....pretending is fun....lol.

seriously, this is amazing.

[alewis18]

It is SO a tutorial, he tells you what chords are happening in the little notes.

Also, just pause it after each section and duplicate. Cmon, let's think for ourselves.

[seanflan02]

Nice version. Sounds really good. ho are you keeping the notes sustained? Did you have to buy a that footswitch for it?Or is there a way to program it? (Probably a stupid question...only got a keyboard today. I've never had one before!!)

[doublsh0t]

thxx. yeah I'm using a foot pedal that I got with the keyboard ^_^ good luck with your playing.

[Eppe1995]

sorry but this is very hard to learn cause you play so fast.

[wemustallrepent]

really good

[ike60099]

i cant read sheet music to i learn form youtube or ear can you play both hand slow on a few vidios you made like star light by muse or this one thanks

[ike60099]

can you do a version where you play each hand slowly or some thing like that it is one of my favorite songs

[maigheo76]

Why did you bother putting in wrong chord annotations? You play C#m correctly, but your annotation says C#, and so on!

Why bother with it if you type in the wrong chords!!!

[doublsh0t]

lol cut me some slack ;) it's def possible there are a few errors on my annotations, but ppl seem to be benefiting from them anyways--even if there are some slight mistakes. Thanks for pointing out the C#m.

[Bcass305]

holy crap ur amazing at piano

man, this was rly helpful

[osthaman]

wow this is really amazing. In like 15 minutes I could play the whole song!

Thank you very much!

[doublsh0t]

awesome! really glad the video helped ya :D

[Joshwaa18]

that was amazing tbh.. wish i could play like that =[

[lucasw5]

i have that keyboard and i got it from guitar center too wooooooh. great tutorial too i learned the whole thing.

[JackWorl]

omg you have to do a more in depth tutorial on this its increible :)

please..

[jhaggerty93]

You're so good man.

Hey i need some help with i will follow you into the dark.Well, i dont think you can really help me. I've got the whole intro and i know the melody but man i cant seem to syncopate the left hand with the right my mind sucks. how long did it take you to get that down? or is it just easy for you to use syncopation like that?

[WereIsTheTerd]

plz plz plz do a run through of this :)

[braynchyld13]

Incredible! Do you think you could record these covers as mp3s and have them available for download? I love them and I want to be able to listen all the time.

You're awesome! Never stop playing the piano. It would be such a waste of your talent if you did.

[sovlai]

Your Swining with ya pedal!

[doublsh0t]

haha I needed the urban dictionary's help with that one--thxx

[STARBUXxDORKxFeRNxX]

lol!

yeahhh..idk wat that means

but THANKYOUUUU SOOO MUCHH! i learned this on the piano now :D yayy!

[sovlai]

It can't be better than that! THAT WAS AWESOME!!!!!!!

[aliondeck07]

that was beautiful

[matzzzzer]

mate i gotta give it to you your amazin :L

[drucejnr]

i took my love down to violet hill

there we sat in snow

all that time she was silent still

so if you love me wont you let me know...

[Ntaviea]

awesome job, and i have the same keyboard, it is awesome

[ebaymotion]

you pretty much gangbanged this song! FUCKING RADICAL!

[LIL0MATT028]

mate, that was amazing, thats good quality keyboard aswell what brand isit?

[doublsh0t]

thxx--Yamaha YPG-625, I def recommend it.

[LIL0MATT028]

yeah cheers m8 do you know how mutch it cost? and u got any advise or tips for a semi-begginer

[doublsh0t]

hmm I paid 700 for it tax included (US dollars if you're not from the US) from guitar center. I don't really have any tips lol, but if you have the skill, try to train yourself to learn how to figure stuff out without relying on or needing music in front of you.

[LIL0MATT028]

yeah i do remember most off my stuff but i aint got nothing on you. like i said im just a beginer

[LIL0MATT028]

ill try and make a recording for ya

[HOLIDAYmachinimas]

thanks to you i just played this song infront of my entire city!, well most of my city,...

ok just maybe 500 people showed up, but i was good!

[doublsh0t]

wow that's still a good showing--gotta vid of the performance? post it if ya do!

[HOLIDAYmachinimas]

yep, i got a vid.

[nadielover]

You're good! :D

[drucejnr]

your version of the outro nearly made me cry... its my favourite bit of the whole song...

good work mate 5/5

[hykehamontour]

lol ur amazing dude u really sure u cant show us a copy of sheet music or do a tutorial??????

[drucejnr]

mate out of all the people on youtube you have got to be the best pianist of all, i mean you did Syrlight by Muse so epically now this! You my lad are awesome, if only you lived in Australia so we could do some jamming (i play guitar), keep up the good work buddy, you rock and this song was epically awesome

[WingedDrant]

Lol, the little tuft of hair was kinda funny

[JDeguara]

rekon you can redo it with playing patterns?

[xxRoDy]

ty for the chords i could play the rigth hand no problem but i was still unsure aboout the chords, turnd out i had alot firgth :D

[replacementhands]

wow that sounds great i like to sing along with your playing cold play is sweet too

[Jacii2J]

Oh...I´m German, good in English, good in German bud I´m very,very bad in French.

Sorry=P

[wequiem]

it's fantastic, i'm a french and i just love this song... :D

[SnareLopez]

what about the right hand

[doublsh0t]

lol, sorry but you're on your own there ;) wouldn't even know where to start in terms of showing what I do on that side of the keyboard. I did a top-view to help ppl try and figure it out and stuff--that's the most I can do.

[Mikeutube07]

wow that was awsome

[nihargala]

heyy.. great tutorial.. however, maybe you should have specificed that its C# minor, G# minor, F# minor etc? excellent work though.. very beautiful

[tpfang56]

Wow... wonderful job. I'm such a novice in piano playing(I can't even read the notes on the bar staff yet).. but this is probably the second or third song on piano that I'm planning to learn after I master piano a bit.

[rosealie19]

I play by ear and used your chord scheme as a reference. It was very helpful though I still have a hard time comming off the f#,f,e,d# scheme back into the melody.... If that made any sense lol.. The timing is just awkward for me.

Thanks for the help though, you are very talented.

[jamerica2]

hey you say to watch in high quality for the timing of the annotations to match the chords being played but when its watched in high quality the annotations don't appear. you should check it out, i'm sure its happening to everyone. nice vid i'm gonna try to copy you no matter how long it takes

[doublsh0t]

Thanks a bunch for the compliments (everyone else as well!)--i just checked it and there did seem to be some problem with how the annotations were showing up. I then went to the annotation editor and just re-saved what I've had and it appears to be displaying them correctly and on time. Hope it's fixed now!

[jamerica2]

it still doesn't show the annotations in high quality

[tinarandim]

hey this is helpful i wanna learn it 2 thanx a lot :)

[HannahBearHannalie]

do you think you might be able to make one like your viva la vida tutorial?

i play by ear and i dont know any of the notes on the piano...but i still manange to play pretty well

if you cant thats fine

but it would help greatly since i really really want to learn how to play violet hill especially

:)

[secano]

Excellent !

btw. which modell of yamaha piano do you use ?

i plan to buy a new one...

[dicostu]

hey man, i just want to say, i greatly appreciate your effort put into this, its a perfect tutorial; but i wanted to see how you would feel about doing a slowed down version??

its taking me a while to follow you and if it was split up and slowed down, it would be easier to follow. Thanks man, get back to me

[jennyxfoshox3]

yeah it would help a lot if it were slowed down

[goldfinger1241]

hello pal i watched ur video and i laernt the song ina flash i thought u were ace

[linkinparkluvr224]
