"The Scientist" is a song that is awesome to learn on the piano for a couple of reasons.

It sounds really cool (it's a beautiful song), and it's SUPER EASY to learn!

There are really only four chords in the whole song (surprise surprise). And the main theme really only has three!

Those are:
Dm7 (in 3rd inversion - which just means that the 7th is at the bottom!)
Bb (in 1st inversion)
F (in 2nd inversion - which is basically the same chord as the Dm7 - just without the D!)

And then we have an Fsus2.

To play this we just need to substitute the A on the top of the chord for a G. So the notes are C-F-G.

And that's pretty much it! In this lesson, we are going to be playing quarter notes for the right AND left hand.

BUT - in the Coldplay recording the left-hand plays eighth notes. So you could just play the root note OR and octave in the left hand.

Here are the timecodes for the lesson:

- The chords we'll use - 0:26

- It was a squeaky chair! (I'm sorry) - 0:29

- The fancy moment between the Bb and F chords - 1:52

- How to play the melody - 2:35

- "Nobody Said It Was Easy" - 3:27

If you're newer to chording this is a great way to learn and practice some inversions and sus chords while sounding really good!
