"my immortal" makes me cry like a whimpering baby .. ..
but yeah yeah .. my immortal is an easy song .. it's like 6 keys repeated over and over again ..
but i agree with the above .. since you're a beginner .. start with the older coldplay songs .. the slower ones .. of course like 'yellow' or maybe 'trouble' ..
thank THA LORD you didn't mention that group. How embrassing It's good like this.. I was thinking "My Immortal" was some Coldplay song and naturally others will think the same.

There was this guy on PBS who taught piano for the beginner. Check out his site.
I play piano a lot but never use tabs (clasically trained ) I hope you've got access to a piano to practise on. If so, just try fiddling around- sounds like you already have some musical training so you might surprise yourself.Play around til you find what suits you best - might be the melody or the chord basses. Try other tunes that you like too by ear.
I do it all the time! It's fun not to be tied down to written music sometimes.

I'll also teach the deacon ninja to play the piano in 2 minutes ^ then chop his head of with a violin stick

No not at all, you can do anything with it, if you're motivated enough.

you could probably just learn clocks without the lesson, just by listening to it by ear. it's a really simple piano riff.

If you get confused with note names, D is actually the easiest to find - the middle of the two black notes (C is to the left of that, obviously).

By ear I just found the keys and barely managed with the chords! I was so happy!! The tempo is fast, it's hard to keep up.. I may for an instant and then everything goes to hell hahaa. But when I just play the 3+3+2 rhythm with the song, it meshes in.. everything is right. But there has to be more.. it sounds so .. bland when I play it on only the piano. What are those chords for? I'm using only my right hand... and I don't think that's all he's doing is it?
N00b questions: are there a different # of keys on a keyboard than piano? I want to label the keys on the keyboard as a sort of cheat sheet until I get them memorized. Can someone help? I can't find any site that just lays out the full board and has key notes. For example, on the link I provided, there are only a minimal amount of keys displayed in the pictoral piano chords at the bottom. How am I to decipher which is which note if not all keys are displayed?
