yellowtalk · 09-07-2008, 10:16 AM

can anyone tab the live solo of AROBTTH please?

ColdplayBirdsFly · 09-07-2008, 03:54 PM

I tabbed it long ago in another thread, but can't find it.

So here it is typed out again anyway.
(I tried my best by listening/watching the Live 2003 vid so sorry if it's odd at parts, # of strums, or anything)

I had problems getting the chorus to sound right.
I think Jonny may just be picking one string with lots of distortion so it sounds like a chord....?

BEGINNING - with Slide
e--------------------5------------------------5---------------------5----
B------------7\5---------------------7\5-------------------7\5----------
G----------------------------5/7------------------------------------------
D----5/7--------------------------------------------5/7------------------
A--------------------------------------------------------------------------

G---12/14-----14\12------12/14------14\12-----12\5------
D------------------------------------------------------12\5-------

E------------------------------------------------------------------

CHORUS (strum multiple times)
e-------------------------------------------------
B-------/10------/12-----\10----/12-----\3---
G--2---/10------/12-----\10----/12-----\3---
D-------/10-----/12-----\10----/12-----\3----
A-------------------------------------------------

This is the part after the 1st Chorus =

B-15/17---------------------17\15--------17-----
G--------------------------------------------------17/ slide slowly down to 12th fret
D-----------------------------------------------------
A-----------------------------------------------------
E-----------------------------------------------------

OUTRO (strum multiple times) NO SLIDE, JUST USE FINGERS
e---------------------------------------------
B--13---\5---/12---\5---------------------
G--14---\5---/12---\5--------Repeat----
D--------------------------------------------
A--------------------------------------------
E--------------------------------------------

ENDING

thank you! you made my night dude!

This is incredible!

You are a hero!

ColdplayBirdsFly · 09-07-2008, 07:16 PM

^ No problemo!

Hangman522 · 10-11-2008, 10:09 PM

His lead part in green eyes is the most annoying for me, it goes on for a while. As for Shiver, if you have correct finger placement than its easy. ( and I mean this as in, you have the right fingers on the right strings.)

Tnspieler1012 · 10-11-2008, 10:34 PM

Best not to leave out bigger stronger actually, all that trem gets exhausting after a while, not to mention the solo.

Pseudonym · 10-11-2008, 10:56 PM

hardest by far is In My Place

kubagoczek · 12-11-2008, 06:23 AM

Strawberry Swing is kind a tricky

yellowtalk · 12-11-2008, 06:34 AM

Only Superstions is tricky, as is Strawberry Swing & High Speed...notice the SSS

Mig-El · 13-11-2008, 04:54 AM

In my place is not hard at all, yeah maybe some of the old songs or Shiver perhaps. I haven't tryed many of their old songs and paid attention either but I guess some of them

charlesboy · 21-11-2008, 10:27 PM

the most difficult riff for me was the riff of brothers & sisters i spent months trying and trying but at the end i made it

, also i had trouble with bigger stronger but nothing like brothers & sisters.

yellowtalk · 21-11-2008, 10:56 PM

Yeah, the Bigger Stronger Tremolo picking I still haven't nailed totally. I can tremolo pick one string, but not three. However, It will come with time.

ricardo · 22-11-2008, 03:23 AM

spies aint tricky

maxsuri · 23-11-2008, 12:51 AM

His Parts technically may not be hard, but try figuring out how to get the sound out of his effects that he uses, i have plenty of the he pedals, but just cant get the tone and create even close to the atmosphere he does, it's impressive how much attention he pays to the tones in the songs , only guitar player comparable is the EDGE

Also unlike some artists he hates power chords, and taking those out of the equation, he's invented some pretty damn good arrangements. I'm not trying to bash you, but if you checked out the accurate tabs for any of the aforementioned songs(especially only superstition, brothers and sisters, such a rush, shiver, high speed and X&Y) you'd be impressed.

In any case, he's brilliant live. hard or not I have yet to see him play any guitar part less than flawlessly on stage.

Agreed. One of the things I love about listening to Jonny is that his guitar parts just fit the songs so well. They don't have to be overly technical, or long or whatever. They sound great and he does it so well.
