New Piano (YEAH) Learned 1st song Coldplay’s Viva La Vida

Kami and I were really excited this morning because today was the day the piano company was delivering the piano that I bought for her birthday. You can see a pic of our piano room by clicking here.

One cool thing about the piano is that when you prop it open, it displays her middle name “Nelson” and mine “Everett”. When we saw that, we knew it was our piano. Hopefully we’ll become a modern day Sonny & Cher and sing love duets and all that cool jazz.

Anyhow, I’ve never really played piano. I started taking the lessons in the Apple Garageband last night, so I’m really green. I wish I had learned a lot earlier as it would of made learning guitar and understanding music theory way easier. Having all the keys in a chromatic scale is very helpful.

So, today I sat down and forced myself to learn Coldplay’s Viva La Vida intro. It’s nothing spectacular, but hey, I’ve only been playing for a few hours now.

Hopefully I’ll keep interested enough to practice every day. Here’s a quick clip I uploaded to 12seconds.tv you can see…
