How To Play Viva La Vida by Coldplay on piano/keyboard

[TheMrME1]

Luckily, I'm an alien from the planet Tent-Acle. I've got just the right amount of tentacles to play this.

[mylife1221]

Thanks! This helped :)

[101rocketmail]

Wait, wait... so the song is something like 4 min. but the piano piece is 51 seconds?

[MrErlendFS]

@101rocketmail you just watched how to play the chorus and the verse.

[rtgellert]

if there are more notes being played at once than a human has fingers..... it's not going to go well

[PrincessFitzherbert2]

0:00 doing great

0:05 my brain explodes.

[WyattKittle]

This is great but I'm tired of reading comments about numbers of hands. They record each color seperately. These kinds of comments were funny the first time but now they tick me off. Do you honestly think he does have an abnormal number of hands?

[thereisnospoon17]

so here is the Asian version but where can i learn how to play

[carsfonsus]

amazing



[Aspiekidvideos]

*cracks 1 million fingers* I'm ready.

[ThePMRadio]

This is actually extremely easy (I'd know because I suck and after 15 minutes, I've memorised it), for the parts where Chris would sing, just whisle, or sing yourself- even if you have a bad voice, who cares? Have fun with it and just play the bass part with both hands. :)

[unkownblood10]

you have a horrible ear......still

[dumaisis]

i can play up to 0:17 but after that i need to use my third hand

[YukiWolf5]

What Website Is This From? Because Then I Can Slow It Down;):L

[vTooLegiTv]

@YukiWolf5 synthesia

[raanop]

You need like 6 hands to play this!!

[shredder579]

I think i finally figured out how to play this, 3 keyboards, you see, one for you feet, one for your hands, one for your face, good to go.

[bangobot21]

There is a way easier version of this -_-

Just gotta find it.

[Spaztikcupcakes]

This is so fun to play.

[RockPwnsYou]

Sorry man, I only have two hands.

[heyheyguesswhat]

whats with those crap random drum beats .

[pianoandstuffcyclone]

What the f*ck kind of tutorial is this this 1. sounds like sh*t and 2. were not mutants that have ten arms

[number4privetdrive]

The green seems easy enough

[890Candy]

I am pro from 0:00 to 0:04

[kurai54]

@890Candy I made it to 0:05 :P

[890Candy]

@kurai54 OMG, You're soo pro xD

[LennyBoi1999]

@890Candy Im Pro From 0:00 - 0:05 :P

[890Candy]

@LennyBoi1999 rly? o3o That's sooooo pro o3o

[sasukeuchhia]

I only have 10 fingers =.=

[cidjero1]

where can you sell extra hands?

[DeAznBoi111]

teresahan makes better piano tutorials than this.

[Dinorawr789]

Heck, this would be easy!

If only I had 7 hands =.='

[DSMASTER911]

viva la vida is much easier than this... it was the first song i learned to play



[RUsum1too]

need to edit the title and add "if you're chuck norris" at the end.

[sonnety2]

i watched this video because i have an extra hand

[gothbabii188]

FUUUUCK!

My brain just melted!!!!

SHIT!

[TheHadesShade]

that's it?!

[casmpro2011]

this is a plagiarism

[lukeeeeyyyyyyyy]

@WhoChris97 u can't play it without recording though .. I'm 13 too and I don't need to record different parts ..... Just foget dis vid and try play it on ur own by listening to de song ...

[dencobster1]

Playable with practice. You just need to learn how to control just your fingers without the moving the whole hand.

[Kreisikana]

:D i love it ! Thanks for teaching

[bkhaveityourway112]

was this song only made for only octopus's to play?

[cyprien1]

@bkhaveityourway112 you dont have to play all... just hum the vocals and you dont have to care about it.. but it is other easyer versions that sounds almost the same

[martijn261094]

stop fucking asking to make a song easier, if u cant play the piano its your own fucking problem

[MultiAwesomesauce1]

100th Liker o.o

I never knew Viva La Vida was so short....

[Tazer448]

soo wrong just wrong......

[MrGameboy1989]

play it 215%, then you get invincible mario

[khiikh]

Learn from this instead!

/watch?v=Lz0GoLqiBLI&feature=m­fu_in_order&list=UL

It's so much easier! I'm kinda a beginner and i learned it in like 5 minutes :o

[ReinaldoDFernandes]

How d'you think I can go live the life if I'm trying to learn this song?

[djmaster888]

How to break your piano in 51 sec. with 5 hands

[MrJtd0826]

only one on youtube with right chords

i have a vid of me playing the same version terribly

watch it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[modcotlan]

guys show a bit of initiative! it isnt hard to get round, just miss out a few notes eg when there is the same notes an octave apart.

[ps3driver]

what programme is he using

[soccerking442]

what in the world!!!

[ninja1988able]

wheres the 2nd part

[mastercheifonline]

its called using ur chin lol jk

[thybananaphone]

are you guys stupid? this is meant for a multi track performance, as there are at least 3 software instruments playing melody, and some kind of lead.

[yi238]

Oh god, people...

[Cyberinitiator]

St. Peter won't be calling his name because he couldn't play this.

[fortify11]

You guys don't get it. It was meant for a lot of hands, like a duet or something. If u wanna play the melody stick to the melody's color.

[mrnexonfan]

i know a good vid with easy perfect v la v.

you dont need 8 hands.

(only 12)

its easy.

but do i have to do with my 2 extra hands?!?!?!?!

[Church1766]

thats not the real chords for viva la vida.... its much simpler on the original unedited version

[FutureAssasin89]

now all ive got to do is get 4 more hands....

[frenchfry01]

exactly how many fingers do you think we have?!

[EuroIceFan]

Ok so were can i find the Human Version

[Brynnabin]

@EuroIceFan Actually, a human could play if they have big-ish hands.

[topsoul361]

die melodie ist an manchen stellen auch voll falsch :D:D

[houmorman123]

umm do i have eight hands?

[larry89]

people talking about how you need 3 hands to play this.. remember that all songs are recorded by tracks.. meaning that they use seperate tracks to record the piano, the violins, the bass, the vocals, etc.

[Cloutar]

There is another version which does not require more than two hands x3

watch?v=JCnIQs1P1tE

[Logixmaster]

I hate these "How to Play"...s they don't show you how to play... and the notes move way too fast

[AlexRogers09]

@Logixmaster This is how I learn to play

[jakndaxt3r]

i can play this yay :)

[lSpadel]

Why does everybody keep complaining about how hard these videos are? They incorporate every part of the song. Meaning, the piano part is only in BLUE. Does the piano part include the melody in the real song? No... It's only in the video for reference.

[TheMocroboy97]

uhh...i dont think i can do this, cause, you know... i dont have 18 fingers!!!

[Paintballguru92]

I love how all you kids don't actually play an instrument and think you're supposed to play EVERY bar that's up there!!

I bet none of you can even tell the difference between a 'D sharp' and an 'E flat'

hehehehehe

[thenexonaddict]

sax is easier

[1LittlePanda1]

for everyone.. it's not so hard if u only play the green lines..

[farelien]

Thanks a lot for your tutorial!

Now i can play it

[MakeMeLaughComedy]

will someone please tell me what this program is

[grammargoddess888]

It's synthesia.

[speshalx00]

lame sounds stupid..............

[agenthelios]

Sounds good but the keyboard you are using has too much of a synthesizer sound. What do you use for background tempo?

[henkenkees]

This is real good. I`ve learned Hot`nCold and Pokerface in 30 minutes!

[EboniZoey15]

all the good songs are only like 50 secs long why?

[Grimmjizzle]

because it's literally this repeated for 3 minutes

[TheOreoCOOKIEgirl]

is kinda messy for this song

[JoeyHoey7997]

I keep looking at sythenia tutorials and I'm forgeting I never learn anything off them.

[Neoplan6o]

Great, the only tutorial I could learn from =D thanks

[djaaron23]

it is off very off

[DroPShoTShArPShOoTeR]

I can play it just not playing the 2 notes to the left

[mdiazohh9]

0:34 is pretty cool.

[FunkyFruitPro]

does he have no life or something?

[phenglee71]

you' ll need some extra limbs for dis man

[tienneil]

nice

[anniefitzcher]

bored like hell viva la vida!!!

[redsalute3]

left hand is impossible because thats all the keyboard is, you dont play the green, either pre record it or play it on its own.

[CheeseEnthusiast]

Or just don't play the long bass notes, and play the lead with your right hand.

[wolbol13]

left hand is inpossible!

[Veringetorix]

the left hand is wrong

[Exorcism99]

Dude i just wanna say thank you so much !!! I used to play a different version from David Sides (Look him up!!!) Wich is also brilliant, has a better lyrical part to it to be honest. But this, just to backup in a band, is perfect. Thank you!

[blackout5623]

i love this song!

[dk61jnr]

how do u get all these songs

[miyor123]

Lmao i'm glad my hands are big enough to stretch to an octave, I could somehow play it! lol somehow...

[Pipper749]

i dont think i have 6 fingers on my left hand......

[SgtSammyJPeppers]

never play green

[jayghai18]

rather hv a 3rd hand fr this song :S

[lukeUSAok]

@Pipper749 lol u dont need 6fingers because its more than one person plying one person playing one half of the nots and the over playing the rest of the nots i think lol and hi

[Jar0mir]

@Pipper749 i am willing to give you one, i just amputate one and nail it on your hand

[omeglremegl]

@Pipper749

A good PIANIST understand that it MUST HELP WITH THE RIGHT HAND

[Padgilord]

@Pipper749 That's awkward...did you lose your 6th finger in an accident?

[Coombsdrew]

@Pipper749

The Green is the vocals. Piano hands don't make the voice, it shows the tones the voice is hitting to help students understand the voice melodic component and not just there to say words.

[babez18155]

these vids are so fecking complicated. im only 13!

i have small hands and i normally pick up on things but god!

grrr.

make these easier. not all people have 8 hands.

[WebkinzModelz13]

feeling same way. im 13 too. that makes it seem impossible!!

[magicbjorn]

@babez18155, they dont o.o?

[kumon87]

@babez18155 I know what you mean. I'm 12 and what I try to do is just find a simpler way to play the song...

[Liquefaction]

@babez18155

This is not a tutorial. The user did not make these. These are MIDI format files that have been uploaded into a program called Synthesia. The program is free. Download the program yourself, put the files into it, and you slow the song down and only show certain parts to make it easy to learn. It is VERY simple to learn songs with this program.

[ZodiacCat12]

@babez18155 there are other simpler ways to play this. i learned in a few weeks... u gotta take shortcuts sometimes too

[mrlikeable7]

@babez18155 i agree is there an easy version for us

[morgant7]

@babez18155 same here. my hands are very small; i'm 14. its not easy!

[PaoloCondo]

@babez18155 i didn't ask you your age oO

[Mikster35]

@PaoloCondo well, unfortunetly, nobody ask you to comment!

[nebularising1]

@babez18155 "tomar una pastilla chill sus sólo 51 segundos!"

[EPCproductionstudios]

@babez18155 'I think he gives us two versions of the song : the singing part and the instrumental. Just respect it :p

[MagikCardz]

@babez18155 If you have 94 thumbs, then I can't help but assume you have MORE than eight hands.......

[Phunlet]

@babez18155 im 13 years old and i can play this o.ô.. lucky i got a foot pedal :D

[summerbaer25]

yeah I play that. With FIVE arms..

[StevenSlair]

your an idiot.... the green is vocals

[XxXTonksAndLupinXxX]

No shit

[mostafal1994]

I'm not exactly Jordan Rudess...

[cnh967]

at the begining I was like...okay I can play this! butthen yo got me at :34

[blayx]

LOL PianoHero

[sxckuku]

Thats easy, i just need to grow some more hands.

[Kazoue]

easy to play you only need eight hands

[Projectb15]

way too much, chords are off on a real workstation/keyboard.

[Paulo1best]

looooooooool

[Lucas6194]

I love this song lol

[Superdedupe]

where is the rest of the song man if you got the hole song i would give you 5/5 but now 3/5

[nclartist]

it repeats. :P thts y its short...

[themoandtherocker]

easy i can play this

[nclartist]

cool. so, for these songs, is the reason y theyre shorter is b/c thts the whole tune pretty much? lol
