This pattern is honestly one of the simplest, yet nice, sounding patterns possible in music.

Your way of teaching is far superior to most of the stuff I see on youtube. Perfect visibility of fingers and the voice guide makes it a big plus. I hate kids uploading some midi in synthesia and call it a tutorial. Nobody can learn like that.

Clocks is my favorite closely followed by Speed of Sound - I love both melodies and the repeating piano in the background

[delaneymclinden]

I love "Death, and All his Friends" and "Atlas." THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR UPDATING THIS TUTORIAL!! YOU GUYS ARE THE REASON I LOVE PIANO!

[Erickhetfield]

I always loved this song, since I was young. It's one of my favorites.
I also love Low. Not a very well known song. X & Y it's my favorite album. Very experimental. With the melancholy of the old ones, but less acoustic and more elaborated. It was all down hill from there.

[hazelpagaza]

It's weird but I honestly love the way you say "B flat minor" with the song😂. And I really like magic, I don't know if that song could be played 🤔

[stealthydragon]

This was my favorite song since I was little so I'm definitely going to learn how to play it wish me luck

[shiveringstencil]

This is my favorite Coldplay song. That's why I'm here! :D

[eddted]

Well explained ! No rush here, just step by step calling out EACH chord or key note! Now to get my lazy fanny on the piano to practice it all! Nice! I enjoyed the lessons with different tempos!! Pedal included!

[beepboop]

Favorite coldplay song has to be paradise

[juliettemuffin]

So many! My favorites are Viva la Vida, Clocks, Violet Hill, and 42.

[modernwarfareguy]

Viva La Vida, my personal favorite Coldplay song :)

[everglow]

I have multiple based on category. My favorite popular song of theirs is "The Scientist, " my favorite semi popular song of theirs is "Lover's in Japan, " my favorite unrecognized song of theirs is "Amazing Day" and my favorite unreleased track is "St. Stephen!" I am a longtime Coldplayer and you could very easily say I'm a superfan! 😁😁😁

[adamgray]

its hard to choose one in particular but the song im addicted to atm is actually a guitar song called til kingdom come. Johnny Cash helped them write it before he sadly passed away

[soundlless]

Adventure of a lifetime... not even a competition

[irvinge]

Yes Yellow. Please, Yellow. Please Jeff >.<

[zhadowarrior]
