    THE PIANO IN CLOCKS AND WILDFIRE (MICHAEL MARTIN MURPHY) STICKS IN MY HEAD. VERY PLEASING TO LISTEN TO. THANKS!!!! *-*

68. Ryan December 20th, 2009 at 12:28 pm

    If you’re going to show people how to play music, at least know the proper technique of the instrument you’re playing. You could make the fingering so much easier by just including your middle finger in your right hand.

69. anonomys February 9th, 2010 at 7:34 pm

    awsomenesssss

70. Meagan February 21st, 2010 at 12:05 pm

    Thanks for posting!

76. Team Roster October 29th, 2010 at 11:25 pm

    Best you should change the post subject How to play Clocks by Coldplay on Piano Tutorial | freepianotutorials.com to more suited for your blog post you make. I enjoyed the blog post however.

77. eleni January 11th, 2011 at 10:44 pm

80. Anonymous April 2nd, 2011 at 3:01 pm

81. Coldplay Addict April 16th, 2011 at 4:25 pm

    iLove this this is amazing thank you so much.

82. fajas colombianas April 22nd, 2011 at 9:58 am

    Thanks for the tutorial, Now I could impress someone I’ve been wanting to get to know for so long.

83. amanda April 25th, 2011 at 7:29 am

    this makes me want to learn to play the piano.
    Thank you.

84. Leslie May 26th, 2011 at 1:26 pm

    You need to USE YOUR LEFT THUMB-shows you were not professionally or correctly trained (and it just looks silly! ) Nice that you put this out there, but it is a shame that you are showing how to play incorrectly. (yes, been teaching 40 years-guys always play chords without thumbs-ONLY guys-it is a genetic dysfunction!)

85. yikes May 31st, 2011 at 7:07 am

    I think it’s cool that you’re taking an interest in playing piano and want to teach others, but you really, really need to learn how to correctly use your fingers. You don’t use your right pinky for the chords, which is a big no-no. It’s pretty easy to find tutorials on correct fingering.
    Also, it’s just F, not F minor.

86. PureMirage June 14th, 2011 at 3:43 am

    Props on the tutorial. Not to be nit-picky or anything, but I believe theoretically, the second chord would be a Bb minor in second inversion, meaning that C# would be a Db. Same note, different name. Again, props on the piano tutorial. It’s great to see someone making music accessible.

87. fuck you June 22nd, 2011 at 12:08 pm

    u suck at piano

88. sam June 28th, 2011 at 12:01 pm

    wow thats cool

89. Sally June 30th, 2011 at 9:52 pm

    Sweet, I’m definitely going to use this site when I get my new keyboard!

90. Anonymous July 4th, 2011 at 1:12 am

    way to show many people the improper fingers to use. the right hand is pretty much fine but you’re making the left hand a lot more difficult than it needs to be. you need to use the thumb in your left hand a looooooot more.

91. Alex July 4th, 2011 at 2:01 am

    serously, i love you. that is amazing!

92. Magann July 29th, 2011 at 7:39 am

    auuuuu ra magaria…oh..I love this song very much…it’s just perfect…

93. Jason August 17th, 2011 at 7:53 pm

    My wife linked this to me today. I don’t even really play piano much but you teach this song so well and make it look easy. I know I’ll at least be able to play the right hand for her lol!

94. samantha September 20th, 2011 at 6:53 pm

    im SO confused i thought youd do the whole song at first but after the few lines of verse you randomlly went straight to high notes?!:S other than that it was good!

95. Adam November 7th, 2011 at 1:58 am

    i dont know what to say, beside that this man is no musician

    KEEP YOUR DAY JOB BUDDY

96. manish January 12th, 2012 at 10:39 pm

97. Hails January 17th, 2012 at 12:41 pm
