 Right, so here's a piano lesson or tutorial of this song called something just like this by Coldplay and the Chainsmokers. Now the whole song is pretty much on D major and it pretty much has one chord progression throughout the song. There's basically a G major, an A major, a B minor and an A major. However, there's a lot of creative ways in which this song is played to make those chords definitely not boring as it clearly shows by the, like I think it's crossed more than a billion views by now. So what happens with the chords is they don't just play it as G, G, A, A, B, B, A, A. Now you could play it like that, right? Now a safe way to play the whole song and if you're a beginner I would recommend this version is just play two hits in the right hand and one hit in the left hand. B minor, A major, G major, A major, B minor. And so on. I want something just like this. And so on. So you can basically play the chords as a block. G, G, A, A, B minor, B minor, A major, A major, G, G, A and so on and so forth. However, I'd like to share maybe three or four things which are a collaboration of all that's, all that I'm able to hear in the song. The piano is not really there. It's a very synth driven song as you guys already probably know. There's some guitar at the end of the song. There's some drums. There's some synth bass. So there's not too many piano parts you'd associate with, you know, in a normal Coldplay song like maybe scientists or some of their older songs. So I've just sort of developed some ideas. Now in the introduction and leading into the verse you could perhaps play something like this. So that's sort of like the introduction played in the beginning of the song. So the notes. So B, D, A, D, C sharp, D, A, D. I would suggest to try and use your ear to hear the melody and get it. And so on, right? And as always in the piano it's nice to bring in our left hand as well. So all I'm playing in my left hand are basically the power chords. So that's the root, the fifth, and the octave. Or if you don't get space for the octave, you can just play the root and the fifth. And as much as possible with this style of playing, try to play the left hand at the downbeat. So the way I count 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and 1 and 3 and 2 and 3 and 4 and... So try to hit this at the 1 and the 3 of the bar. So you have G at the 1 and the 3. Sorry, G at the 1, A at the 3, B minor at the next bar, 1. And then back to A at the 3 of that bar. So you go 2 and 3. These are all fifth chords. So watch out. Even B's fifth is F sharp. Not... That's a tritone. Sounds very funny. And you could continue this for the verse as well. However, what I found in the verse, there's a nice synth patch which is going in a 5 plus 3 manner. So what I mean by a 5 plus 3 manner, normally you play chords as 4 times and then another 4 and then another 4 and then another 4. It repeats evenly. So what makes this song quite interesting is the first chord will last for 5 counts or 5 sub-counts and the next chord will last for 3 counts. So 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. So that will be G. So chord number G, 2, 3, 4, 5, A, 2, 3, B manner, 3, 4, 5, A, 2, 3, G, 2, 3, 4, 5, A, 2, 3, B, 2, 3. So if I play that on the keyboard. So basically at the 1 of the bar and the second chord comes in at the 3 and of the bar. So you go and 2 and 3 and 4 and 1 and 2 and 3. And the same power chords in the left hand but now accenting the chord changes of the right hand. G, A, B, A, G, A, D, sorry B, A, G, A major, B minor. So for the verse you could go do the intro thing which I taught you. Or you could play the 5 plus 3 irregular chord phrase. Right, so now coming to the chorus of the song. The chords are pretty much the same. However there's a nice distinct tune which you find the synth playing. It's sort of following the melody line of the vocals. So what you could try is you can just play the same chords. Basically this pattern. 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and 2. And you can also bring out a melody whatever you can try with these 2 fingers. So I'm just sort of playing what the guitarist is playing at the outro. So he plays down. So you could embellish that with the chords. If you find that a bit advanced you can play the chords in the left hand and the melody in the right hand. You could even play a nice holding pattern or the pulse here. A and so on. And then there's like a nice build up which happens for a very short time in the song and that's pretty much it. So the build up is on G, A and just like this and back to the chorus. So let me try and break that down. Melodically the piano now comes in or a synth or whatever you hear comes in with something like. So let me just point that out. I've written it down in red. And this goes with the chords. G, A, B minor, G, D, A. And just know that when you do G to D it's a quick change. Then you have an interesting chord here with a D and F sharp bass. So it's like playing D major in the right hand with F sharp in the left hand. So let me try and sing the melody of the bridge while I play the chords and then I'll try and play the melody of the bridge. And still remember that 5 plus 3 pattern which I taught you earlier for the verse. And so on. So I think this about pretty much covers each section. Now mind you this is not like a normal song which has a lot of piano in it already where we just play what the other guy played. This is a more interesting kind of arrangement where there's a lot of electronic stuff, a lot of synths. So it's up to you to kind of make it your own. Even if you're a guitar player you can add a lot of different elements since the song is pretty much synth heavy. So you could try to maybe play it with an acoustic guitar. Or as a piano player you could add some different elements to add arpeggios and also bring out the dynamics of the song. So the songs I generally like to play on the piano are sometimes songs which can motivate me to creating my own part. So most of the parts I gave you were just sort of like a combination of all that we heard with the synths playing. And we tried to bring it as much as possible on the piano. So I'm sure you'll also be able to develop your own methods to figuring out your own parts on the keyboard as well. You don't have to play what's there in the original. And in this song we don't have any option but to play what we can play or what we want to play since there is no piano. So all the best with playing this song.
