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!

I am 33 years old. The average hip hop artist has got to be much younger than that. I am over the hill according to the members of the cool hip hop crowd. Maybe....or maybe not. Some of the most successful hip hop artists can still be relevant well into their late thirties, or even the early forties. The point I am trying to make is that you don't have to be a spring chicken in order to be successful in the hip hop business. All you need is the drive to move forward. Most people are just too comfortable where they're at to move forward.

I love hip hop music and the feeling you get just from being around it. One could almost feel the beats rumble through every inch of their body as they move in rhythm on the dance floor. A lot of people would love to be a hip hop artist, but just don't know how to start. Hey, I am no mogul, but one thing I can tell you is that a great jumping off point would be locating some catchy beats. With a little research you will find how easy ideas can come to you. In fact you can probably find some free hip hop beats on the Internet.

I remember going to a club once when I was younger and seeing the reactions to the different hip hop songs the DJ would spin. People went crazy every time a new, gripping hip hop record was played. I was fascinated by this. Here were a group of strangers who seemed to be united by their admiration for killer hip hop beats. I knew then that I wanted to be in the hip hop world. I was young, single and felt that I could do anything. When I told my uncle about my ambitions he introduced me to a friend of his that was a small time local record producer. I went by to visit him and he gave me some free hip hop beats to back up the rap lyrics I had been writing. We had some great sessions but for reasons I cant remember, the producer and I were never able to get a finished product. All I have left are memories.

Now, some 13 years later, I still wonder how far I might have gone. There is nothing to keep me from picking up where I left off so who knows, maybe I will dust off the brain and try and come up with some catchy rhymes and look for some free hip hop beats, ( I will try and start with as little money as possible just in case I am way past my prime,) and try my hand at an old talent. Wish me luck.

If you are serious about your craft, then Download Hip Hop Beats Here You will find hours and hours of every style of hip hop beat imaginable.
