The Instrument Room

Hey, so I want to start learning either the keyboard or the piano along with the drum but I can't decide which to learn. 1. If I learn one would I be able to play the other? 2. Which is best to start on? 3. If I go for a keyboard, how many keys should I go for?

What do you guys think the correct tuning is, or chords? I've seen Chris play it live, but what?? First post here, thanks for your interests.

I want to buy a slider for my electric guitar. Does anyone know what type (material) Jonny uses ?

I was just wondering if anyone has or could tab out Glass of Water based off of this video, because just about every "tab" out there is mostly just chords

Hey guys i don't know if anyone has already noticed this, but i'm pretty sure they're using a real piano - and by real i mean that the piano sounds are not samples but coming from the piano accoustically itself - on this tour. 2 things that lead me to this assumption: 1. a while ago, they posted a video or a picture (can't remember which it was and neither on what platform(s)) where you could see somebody tune the piano on stage. they wouldn't have needed to do that if they still used the sampled Kawaii-Sounds, right? 2. i was at the Zürich show on saturday, and what really surprised me a bit was how difficult it was from time to time to hear the piano in the mi…

Hi guys, the new PVG book is out! Anyone already had the chance of checking it out? [MEDIA=amazon]1495057577[/MEDIA] Mobile Link: https://www.amazon.com/Coldplay-Head-Full-Dreams-PVG/dp/1495057577

Hi , I tried to make the most similar sound of the original song , I hope you enjoy it .

Hi everybody! I've been at a Coldplay concert for the first time in my life and it was amazing! I also love to play guitar so when they do the acoustic part on B/C stage I'm always interested if they do songs that usually are not played by guitar,so... Anyone knows which tuning is Chris using?If I'll look well i think I'll get the tab but the tuning is not so clear for me...I also noticed that is the same of magic! Maybe standard with high e tuned to c? Any help will be nice!

I don't know nothing about the tuning, that's (obviously) not standard Intro and chorus |-0--0--0--0--| |-1--1--0--2--| |-0--2--0--0--| x1 in the intro, x2 in the chorus |-2--2--2--2--| |-3--0--2--0--| |-3-----0-----| |--0--| |-13--| |--0--|In the chorus, sometimes it is the first C/G shape (332010) |-14--|Anyway, the second chorus haven't this part |-15--| |-15--| Verse |---------------------| |---------------------| |---------------------| Power chords. Follow the bass for timing |---------------------| |-10---9--5--7--3--2--| |-12--10--7--8--5--0--| Bridge ("Don´t you want to see...") |-0--0--| |-0--0--| |-5--3--| Sometimes he uses the c…

Hey guys, we've released an electronic cover of "Adventure of a Lifetime" and we extremely need your help in order to promote it.

Thanks and much love to all of you! Here's the video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pp1B34GPaoA Mobile Link: https://youtu.be/pp1B34GPaoA

Yeah, I'm talking about this one: http://www.4shared.com/dir/8921731/93e474f9/Coldplay_Sheet_Music.html I've used it only to download the MIDI files, which, as far as I can hear, corresponds exactly to the piano and vocals sections of the official sheet music books. This mainly enables me to listen to what the sheet music is supposed to sound like, and then compare to what I manage to play on the piano. Since I'm also trying to sing, it also gives me an idea of what the piece overall is supposed to sound like. Unfortunately, even though that link boasts an impressive number of midi files from the albums and some b-sides, it's not quite complete. It's mainly missing…

Tell me what you think! It's a cover of the preview version. I added a few background effects! Here is the download: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=XN1TT7V5

Does anyone know what drum throne Chris Martin uses on his piano? I'm 100kg and I bought a drum throne to play piano, but it isn't good enough for my weight. It seems Chris's one is good enough.

Hi, Can somebody make a Fairly accurate midi of this song? thanks, Steve.

I'm asking because there is a video of Chris and Jonny playing it live and this video is like the only good quality video of Jonny playing it. All of the guitar tabs on any tab website is just not accurate and I was wondering if anyone here can tab it out using this video:

Hello , another cover of coldplay , this time is viva la vida. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OdyLnZQlYI Mobile Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OdyLnZQlYI

Check out this amazing instrumental cover of Fix You:

Hello to everyone :) I am looking for some fun guitar tabs. I've already learned 'Beautiful World' but it's pretty simple once you get it. I'm looking for something a bit more challenging and entertaining while avoiding barre chords... (that's what my fingers don't get, still beginner). Also, if you know some inspiring guitar players doing covers on youtube or so, (or if you are one) I would love to discover them ! :) :) Thank you all

Hello. I really love the guitar sound heard in Parachutes, and want to possibly replicate it as best as I can. Does anybody happen to know anything about it? All I've found out so far, is that it's a Vicente Tatay Tomas guitar. Here are some questions I'm wondering about it. Does anybody happen to know the year, or what kinda of strings are on it? It looks like it's a classical guitar. Does that mean it was recorded with nylon strings, or did Chris put steel on it? Also, if anyone has one, it'd be cool if you could let me hear a recording of a Parachutes song on it. Bonus points if it's We Never Change (fav on the album). Thanks for any info anyone can provide!

I think this song is better every time i hear it. I layered a lot of electric guitars on here (some of which i recorded a microphone without plugging in) and played some bass and drums and a few extras. If anyone wants to know how i played what, i'll do my best to remember :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hlKvYadQgfU Mobile Link: https://youtu.be/hlKvYadQgfU

before covering this track they played their version of "Clocks". Can someone please identify which song is it? Thanks in advance ;)

Hello everyone... Is this close enough to the real piano sound used at live shows?

Here is Chris Martin's acoustic version of Viva La Vida performed at the Sandy Relief Concert in 2012: Tuning: Eb-Ab-Db-F-Ab-Eb Chords: Verse Db - 10.12.12.x.x.x Eb - 0.12.12.x.x.x Cm - 9.12.12.x.x.x Fm - 9.9.7.x.x.x Chorus Dbmaj7 - x.5.7.7.0.0 Ebadd4 - 0.7.6.5.0.0 Ab - 5.7.7.7.0.0 Fm7 - 2.4.4.0.0.0 The verses' chords are muted, only hitting the top 3 strings, mainly focused on the bottom string. The chorus's chords, however, are fully strummed with some variations of being muted or not. Just listen to the video for the strumming patterns and what not. Verse - Db - Eb - Cm - Fm Chorus - Dbmaj7 - Ebadd4 - Ab -…
