Something Just Like This - The Chainsmokers & Coldplay kalimba number notes / tabs for Beginners
Something Just Like This - The Chainsmokers & Coldplay kalimba number notes / tabs, suitable for beginners and intermediate musicians. Feel free to leave a comment if you liked this 17 keys kalimba notes for Something Just Like This - The Chainsmokers & Coldplay or if you think something is wrong with them and you know how to make them even better.

Kalimba Notes shares tabs for songs from anime, movies, games, and popular music. Each tab uses Jianpu, a simple numbered notation that shows which note to play by its position in the scale, so you don't need to read sheet music to follow along. This guide explains how the numbers, octave dots, and keys work, so you can start playing right away.

Which Kalimba

All tabs on this site are written for a 17-key kalimba tuned in C. That's the most common setup for beginners, and it matches the key layout shown in each post's image. If you're using a different kalimba, the numbers will still work, but you'll need to find the keys that match the layout.

How to Read Kalimba Notes

Every tab on this site is written in Jianpu, a numbered notation. The numbers 1 through 7 stand for the seven notes of the scale, and the key shown at the top of each tab decides which actual notes those numbers become.

Octave dots

Dots after a number tell you which octave to play in:

Octave Notation Keys on the kalimba
Middle 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 7 keys
One octave higher 1° 2° 3° 4° 5° 6° 7° 7 keys
Two octaves higher 1°° 2°° 3°° 3 keys

A number with no dot is in the middle octave, and each dot adds one octave.

Kalimba layout

Reading the 17 keys from left to right:

2°° 7° 5° 3° 1° 6 4 2 1 3 5 7 2° 4° 6° 1°° 3°°

Playing along

Play the notes in the order they appear, and listen to the song while you follow the tab. The tab shows which notes to play, and the recording shows the timing.

  1. how am I suppose to know what type of song I could play on my Kalimba on this website?! I'm a such a new beginner on this, so don't judge me. Like, how difficult could it be to type in the kind of type of kalimba on this website. also, it could be great if the website have a tutorial on how to tune your kalimba, cause I have been searching for a good video on how to tune it, but didn't find it. Please, for the love of god, do something about my issues. I just wanted to play on my kalimba.
