Play Piano with Coldplay

Authentic piano parts for six hit songs by this British pop band, including vocal line, full lyrics and chord symbols. The CD includes "soundalike" backing tracks and full demonstration performances. Includes: Amsterdam * Clocks * Everything's Not Lost * Politik * The Scientist * Trouble.
Customer Review: The coolest thing for good piano players!
I'll say this right up front to you. If you are not a very good piano player then this book is not for you. If you can play good, have some training or can play by ear (like myself) -- AND you are a Coldplay fan... you will fall in love with this book. I've been a Coldplay fan since I first heard Clock almost 6 years ago and have never stopped listening to them. I couldn't believe this when I saw this and I'm honestly so pleased it already reached my expectations. The backing tracks are dead on. If you can play the Coldplay songs already then you will not have to go through the book and can just jump right into playing with the CD. I honestly felt like I was playing with Coldplay which is a dream come true. If just for that, this book was worth my 13 dollars. I would pay 13 dollars to just play clocks, but no, they give you six of Coldplay's best songs from ROBTTH, which is Coldplay's best album. Seriously, if you are good at piano or can learn, then I recommend this 100% to you. I also want to say that I like not having vocals because I like to sing with the backing track anyway. :) Negatives: For someone who has listed to these songs 100 times over, I can say that some of the piano parts that they play aren't 100% correct but it doesn't matter because when you play, you can do whatever you want. It may too advanced to moderate to beginner piano players.
Customer Review: Great book but with some complaint...
This is my first book purchased from the "Play Piano with..." series. Not being a huge fan of Coldplay I really enjoyed this book. The book features 6 songs and comes with a CD that includes 12 songs. 6 of the songs are Coldplay performing with the piano music; the other 6 are the same songs without the piano music - you're the accompaniment! A couple of complaints: 1 - The CD and layout of the book are great! But the set of 6 songs you get to play the accompaniment with do NOT include Coldplay's vocals, except toward the very end of the song. Kind of misleading. The book should be titled, "Play piano with Coldplay's band" - though I'm not certain it's the actual band. 2 - I wish there was a way to slow the tempo down for practice, but since it's on CD there's no way of doing that. (UPDATE: Windows' Media Player has a "SPEED" feature and you CAN slow it down, wow!!) Overall a great fun book to play along to. I really felt like I was part of a band!


Brazil (Federative Republic of Brazil)is becoming an increasingly popular destination for real estate and property investment amongst the British, according to an industry expert.

Resort Group International, an impartial advice service for those wanting to buy, rent or resell property overseas, has said that investors in Brazil will get a good return on their investment (ROI).

Lawrie Smith, accounts manager at Resort Group International, said: "Brazil is never likely to be as popular as France and Spain because of the geography, but as far as long-haul destinations go, it will probably be one of the most popular resorts."

Mr Smith explained that Brazil is a similar distance from Europe as popular investment destinations, such as Florida and the Caribbean, but that property is significantly cheaper in South America.

Brazil's economy is in good shape according to a report entitled 'Foreign Investment in Latin America and the Caribbean, 2007', published by the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC).

The report states that Latin America and the Caribbean received a record figure of almost $106 billion in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in 2007, due to regional economic growth and sustained global demand for natural resources.

Brazil's GDP (PPP and Nominal) is the highest of Latin America with large and developed agricultural, mining, manufacturing and service sectors, as well as a large labor pool. The country has been expanding its presence in international financial and commodities markets, and is regarded as one of the group of four emerging economies called BRIC.
