4.0 out of 5 stars Good for the most part, October 6, 2003

This review is from: Coldplay - A Rush of Blood to the Head (Paperback)

I'm a big Coldplay fan and was excited when I got this book. I quickly sat down and learned "The Scientist," one of my favorite tracks from the album. The book was very helpful in picking apart not only the melody and guitar chords, but also Chris Martin's piano parts.
However, whenever I've seen clips of Coldplay playing "The Scientist," there seems to be a different left hand part played than what is actually written in the book. Oh well, just a little work to do. Good Stuff though.

This review is from: Coldplay - A Rush of Blood to the Head (Paperback)

I have been playing the violin for 9 years and teaching myself the piano on the side, so this book was a little hard for me. I loved the fact that these are the actual parts to the songs, not some simplified score that doesn't sound anything like the original. "The Scientist" was the first song I learned and by far the easiest. I recommend this book to any musically inclined Coldplay fan because you'll end up loving their music more.

This book is BRILLIANT!! When I first got it I went to my favourite song Clocks and even though it looked hard as hell on paper, once I started playing it I got it right away! I couldn't believe how fast it took me to learn the songs, now I can play them with my band as well. Everything is very easy to learn for the piano and for extra fun try the guitar!!
