Clocks - Coldplay

Some tunes just have that quality of instantly becoming a true Pop-Piano classic. Driven by one of those killer Piano-riffs (you guessed it, created and played all by- and with Pop-Piano techniques), that are so signature for this awesome band, one might call this song the summum of Pop-Piano music.

On top of all this goodness -imaging learning and being able to play a song that is both so cool, beautiful, iconic and important in the manifestation of Pop-Piano!- it also isn't even that hard to play, as will soon become clear once you tune into this weeks tutorial.

Only three (!) basic triads (chords), combined with a rocking pattern / rhythm and see what happens? Master song, killer track, awesome music.

Let me know what you think and don't forget to have a lot of fun!

Cheers, Coen.
