Tickling the ivories

[The_Sweetest_Thing]

I KNOW someone has posted this before...

But really. We have so many guitar players here. ANd I KNOW we have a few piano players too.

So my point?
Q: Where can I get U2 piano sheet music? So Cruel, Sweetest Thing, Stay, Please, etc...

Anyone? Anyone? Bueller, anyone?

I'd like to know the same thing. I have been able to play a couple U2 songs by ear, but it would be great to have the sheet music!

I play the piano; I haven't seen any piano sheet music either. :-(

Sweetest Thing is easy to figure out.

Well, I've got the chorus...3 notes..but chord wise and during the middle of the song it gets a little difficult.

I'd LOVE to find Stay, or SO Cruel...or ANYTHING!

As far as I know, you can buy some stuff (EASY PIANO) over the net...or buy the guitar music and follow the chords...

I have piano/guitar books for ATYCLB, Pop, Achtung Baby, Joshua Tree, and a general U2 early hits album (stuff from UF and before).

You sort of have to figure out the bassline for yourself, but once you can do that, it's quite fun.

Adam: Look guys, I got a Springfield spoon for my spoon collection.
Edge: Oh boy, here we go...
Bono: Wow, how many is that now Adam?
Adam: Nine. If I didn't have my spoons, I'd go insane.
Bono: Can I see it?
*adam gives bono the spoon, bono throws it away*
Adam: My spoon!

Nancy, you're my hero!! AWESOME! (Check out the complete songbook!)--I wonder how difficult the arrangements are? Looks like it's worth checking out...

The Complete Songs definitely looks worth checking out! I think I might ask for it for the holidays

Dude! Maybe we will have enough songs mastered on piano to play onstage at a future concert?

So Bono can pull US onstage to play...alriiiiight!!

I believe I saw that book in Borders...I flipped through it, but I don't know if it is the same one or not. The problem was there really wasn't an arrangement for piano; it was just the voice part. It seemed to be more of a fake book.

I always used the guitar chords as a starting point; it would be nice to have the songs arranged for piano in print; I don't have a very good ear. :-(

The book I saw on the web (U2: The Complete Songs) is arranged for both piano and voice. So I'm guessing it included an extra treble staff for voice, but still had the piano arrangement below.

Sweetest_Thing: I would def go to Borders or somewhere and just flip through the books. This book is published by Warner Bros. and edited by Vince Martino/ed Gutstein. I'm gonna check it out, I'll let you know
