Any chance you have sheet music available? I know the description has the chords to play but I can't seem to find official sheet music.

[@BitesizePiano]

@@dogubomb I'm afraid I haven't made it!

[@jeffcyho]

After 35 years of procrastinating, I finally decided to pickup the piano and learned a lot from your lessons. Thank you for producing them and making them clear and easy to follow. I like it how you have a run-through at the end and we are all greatly appreciated for your time.

[@markodaly4335]

Mate you're in the wrong business.....if you can pick up a piano, you should be doing professional weight lifting or something in the Olympics. Better still in the Avengers

[@pieterjansenvanrensburg7322]

Playing guitar for more than 20 years now. My friend is moving overseas so he gave me his piano. Tonight is the first time I play it and this is the song I wanna start off with.. very different shapes to guitar chords but it’s great fun learning something new/different. Not as easy as it looks 😆

[@adhirajnaik485]

This is the best The Scientist tutorial that I have come across on KZbin. Cheers to you Bitesize Piano!

[@AcousticJamDad]

Thanks for doing this one…It’s literally one of my favorite songs of all time and it’s extremely emotional and moving for me. Whenever I play it I wind up shedding a tear, a happy/warm tear if that makes any sense at all? Anyone else have that experience with a song too? For me, oddly enough, it’s The Scientist, Let It Be and Moonlight Sonata that I literally can’t get through without crying bc I get so moved by it.

[@BitesizePiano]

I know what you mean! I'm the same with To Build A Home by The Cinematic Orchestra! It's a beautiful thing to be so moved by a piece of music :) Also, 'Daddy' by Coldplay gets me every time!

[@chriseggert7362]

Thank you for your teaching and also I really really appreciate that you do the chords slowly and that you play the piano slowly for us beginners thank you have a good and blessed weekend

Questi video sono molto istruttivi complimenti, nonostante io non capisco quasi niente in inglese 🥰❤

Desde que empeze a tocar teclado me costaba mucho encontrar tutoriales de canciones en teclado que expliquen con seguridad y claridad, hasta que encontre este maravilloso con donde puedo aprender a tocar, practicar con facilidad y con claridad, muchas gracias!!! 💓✌️

[@RadioactiveHax]

Thank you so much i hope more beginners like me find your channel. Very well paced tutorial.

Thank you you're a great teacher

You're most welcome!

[@Nate-ip4qo]

Thank you so much. I never figured out the right bit at the end of the chorus where we start throwing in C/Fs.

[@timothypowell4246]

I love this version and was wondering if there is actual sheet music I could use

[@chuckdouglas3226]

Thank you so much for this great tutorial. I am an absolute beginner on piano, but have been playing drums for 30+ years. This is a nice beginner song I think I can handle. I love how you break it down into small sections, so I can learn them one by one and then put it all together when I am ready. I may have requests in the future!

[@MyIDIsNotAvailable]

That was my third attempt on this song in third video and finally successful. Explaining was a bit sketchy at times but the ending part with all chords and lyrics is awesome and enough. Thanks a ton

[@BitesizePiano]

What part did you feel I explained 'sketchy'?

[@MyIDIsNotAvailable]

@@BitesizePiano Haha.. Sory. To strong of a word I'm sure now, but I got lost somewhere on the way on couple ocasions. Can't remember where now. Like I said. Great job.

[@vybhavpai9031]

Thank you for taking the time to make this lesson and putting it up on youtube! I will definitely practice and learn this song!!

[@BitesizePiano]

You're most welcome! Happy playing! :)

[@prodromossaklamakis2667]

To be honest, you had me on the welcome part. And the rest of the video didn't let me down. I loved it!

[@cindyspearman]

That was awesome! This is one of my favourite songs by Coldplay. I am just learning how to play the piano again after many, many, many years ago. You are a great teacher and I like the way you keep things simple and go slow. I will definitely be looking for other songs that you are teaching. Thanks so much!

[@BitesizePiano]

Glad you liked it, you are very welcome :)

[@cookieshq574]

I learnt guitar and decided to learn piano. From already learning guitar, piano wasn’t such a big jump since all the theory is already in my head, all I needed was to find a good KZbin channel that teaches in a good way. This is the channel and for that I can’t thank you enough. Learnt this in two days and yeah, about to watch a ton of your videos :) x

[@fredioanarqi3151]

I love your voice Francesca 😍

[@cestrell]

Francesca, you know I'm both a fan and consider myself a student of yours. I'm very appreciative and love the lessons. There's also something I have difficulty overcoming: I become so emotionally invested in what I'm singing and playing that in some cases, I can't finish the song because I'm crying. Have you ever brought yourself to tears while playing something and if so, could you continue?

[@BitesizePiano]

Oh certainly! It’s usually because the song is linked to something, like for example; my recently passed Grandad had Fields Of Gold and Love Me Tender played at his funeral. I’ve tried to do these songs on my channel and just can’t if I sing. I’ll hopefully be able to do them on here one day, but it’s a bit too raw still. I’m pleased you’re connecting with music on an emotional level. I try to laugh at myself and I can then usually get through it!

[@olivia.102]

Thank you so much!! I'd love to learn this on the piano!

[@molenz1960]

Awesome tutorials, thank you. I've only been learning for a week and currently following pianote with a 30 day free trial, so between learning to get both hands playing scales together I come to your channel to mix it up a bit. I like your teaching style and will be purchasing your course next month. May I ask when you play the B flats with your left hand you have your other fingers curled up, I tried this, but for me it felt much more natural to keep the unused fingers straight. Is there a reason you do it this way?

[@BitesizePiano]

My other fingers are curled to show which note I’m playing, I’m moving my fingers out of the way. I don’t play like that throughout.

[@sophieolah2754]

[@elisahuang5134]

love this!❤️

[@dandypanda4842]

Left hand doesn't play the ground notes of the chords. It plays the 2nd and the 3 of the chord triads. So left hand starts with a soft F and a pronounced G on the afterbeat (the 2nd and 3rd of the D minor triad). Listen to the song, you'll notice it.

[@BitesizePiano]

The bass is playing the root notes of the chords.

Thank you!Love this song!

[@BitesizePiano]

You're very welcome! :)

[@logs2829]

Hi Francesca, great tutorial, one small thing, Dm does not have the Bb, I believe the key here is actually F

[@BitesizePiano]

The key signature of D minor is Bb...it's the relative minor to F major (they have the same notes). Maybe spend a bit of time learning scales etc

[@MindEnglishWorld]

Hi! I loved our tutorial! Do you sell the music sheet ? I wanted to buy the sheet music in piano notation, not only the chords. Does that make sense?

[@BitesizePiano]

I’m afraid I haven’t made the sheet music for this! It’s very chord based though so would look very repetitive on notation. X

[@MindEnglishWorld]

@@BitesizePiano Thank you for being so kind and for replaying my request. I've been studying your lesson and it's easy to follow along. Big thanks

I'm 32 years old just started playing so looking to try anything new I'm completely thrown by this I'm also ambidextrous so thought this would be right up my street but chords are completely throwing me 👀if this is for beginners I might cry when I try something more advanced 🥺

[@BitesizePiano]

This is not aimed at beginners

[@jk12324]

17:16 I think there's one too many ahhoooos there. It should only be 3 times then the 4th time is the outro Thanks for the tutorial! Closest to the original track I found on KZbin and easy for us non-pianists to learn in just a day (takes a day or two more to practice and smooth it out though 😊)

[@BitesizePiano]

Ah yes, I got a bit carried away with aahhoooos didn't I?!

In the chorus part, the Bb has 8 beats right? at what beat do you start singing?

Wonderful. Thank you. Would have been much more helpful if you had sung along. The vocal timing is tricky, so hearing you sing with it would have been so much better. But I'm still thankful all you've done here. Much appreciated...

I sing A LOT in most of my tutorials after this!

[@Healmyheart68]

is this the original song key as performed by Cold play?

[@BitesizePiano]

Yes. The speed of the recording has been altered slightly, therefore making it sound inbetween keys. So annoyingly it's not great to play along with as it sounds out of tune...

[@tytube671]

personal timestamp - 7:54

[@hyper9532]

Actually, you cannot play this and follow the studio version, it’s impossible to play it back, they transpose it higher up on accident so it sounds more brighter and more major more Lydian-like. (P.s, same thing goes with golden hour, jvke told himself it would be impossible to play on piano.)

[@BitesizePiano]

It doesn’t sound ‘more major’ or suddenly becomes Lydian mode if it has been digitally transposed higher. It’s still major, just in a higher major key. For it to sound Lydian mode, you’d have to sharpen the 4th.
