How To Play - Fix You by Coldplay (Piano and singing) - PTM

Hey guys , what's going on ?

This is the PTM .

I got a request on my channel that said , can you please show us how to play Fix You by coldplay ?

So I thought , wow , that's a great idea because I just put a cover up and you should check it out .

So click right here .

Don't forget to subscribe .

Uh I'm gonna keep bringing on some tutorials .

This is for pianist and singer .

So you're gonna be singing along and playing at the same time , upload a video of you playing this song after I taught you and post it as a video response to this video .

Uh Have fun playing the song and learning it .

I will see you later .

All right .

Fix you by coldplay .

Here we go .

So I'm gonna teach you the introduction right now .

In two parts .

The first part we're going to learn is the right hand .

It's quite simple .

Actually , all you have to do is play two chords over and over again .

So you're going to start with an E flat major chord .

So that is E flat and then B flat and then G OK , it can be up here or it could be up here , right .

Like I , I do this because it , um , it sounds best , uh , to me .

Um , and then the next chord is going to be a GMG minor chord .

So GP for NT , right .

And then you're gonna go one , you to , to back and forth .

OK .

That is your right hand .

Now , for your left hand , you're gonna start off , um , right here and an E OK ?

And I'm gonna go through this slowly and then I'm gonna go faster to show you exactly how it's gonna sound later .

So this is your introduction .

It's gonna go E flat FG and B flat .

C back to B flat .

All right .

And then you do that again .

E flat FG back to E flat though this time C and then down even more to a beef .

All right and all right .

So let's do this one more time .

EF TB mm Efge flat .

Be flat .

Sorry , I didn't say flabby .

So here we go .

We're gonna put these together now ready .

It's gonna look like this .

All right .

So there we go .

That's the introduction .

You can keep playing that throughout the whole verse .

If you're able to actually sing and play this melody in the left hand at the same time or you can just hold the left hand notes .

All right .

So what you're gonna do for the verse is like I said , either play it like this when you try .

Yes .

But you don't say or you can hold left hand notes just like this .

It's gonna be E flat , G in the left hand again .

C and be fight , right ?

You , yes .

But you don't when you get what you want but now when you , but you can stuff OK , same thing for the second verse .

I'm not going to show you because it's the exact same notes .

Just change the lyrics .

All right .

So for the chorus , the first chorus , you are going to be playing just a regular , a flat major chord and then you're gonna go up to a B flat major chord and then back to an , a flat major chord and back up to a B flat major cordon pretty simple .

Uh Let me sing it for you .

So you know how it goes .

Mm I You Yeah .

And to fix you .

OK .

Right after that part , you're gonna go up here in the right hand to play a little bit of a melody before the third verse .

It's gonna go like this .

OK ?

So same thing in the , in the left hand , but in the right hand , you're just going simple to G to E flat and then G to D back up .

OK ?

eh ?

Qué tal Rock ?

Yo soy Santiago , de la escuela de Rock , aquí en Quito , Ecuador .

Antes de empezar con este video tengo que hacer una pequeña advertencia .

John Frusciante tiene un muy profundo conocimiento de la teoría musical y para las personas que entienden de teoría musical va a resultar fascinante ver cómo él aplica estos conceptos en su música .

Y ahí es cuando uno se da cuenta realmente porque es un músico tan especial y tan único .

Pero va a también a haber muchas personas que se queden , como que no entendí nada para todas esas personas .

No se enojen conmigo , porque esta es la forma en la que Frusciante mismo explica las cosas .

So you're gonna start by playing s here , it's gonna be an E flat major chord and you're gonna go like this then down to a flat major .

Same with the cord here , back to E flat major and here it's gonna be B flat major , but still play this E for a couple of times , the next C minor , then a flat leave flat again .

That would be flat .

All right .

And same thing when the lyrics come in .

Y él dice que utilizaba un típico diccionario de acordes muy conocido de Ted Green , que se llama Court Knit , pero que básicamente , al ser un diccionario de acordes , no sabía exactamente cómo aplicarlos .

Por ejemplo , digamos que tenía un acorde como éste , que se llama Mi siete bemol nueve por sí solo .

No funciona muy bien como acorde .

No tiene mucho sentido .

Es como que uno quisiera hacer un acompañamiento con esto .

No termina de cuajar eso muy bien , pero que al revisar la música de músicos como Elton John o los Beatles se empezó a dar cuenta cómo se utilizaban ese tipo de acordes .

Entonces , por ejemplo , un acorde como este tiene mucho más sentido .
