The Instrument Room

Hello coldplayers, I've done a number of coldplay piano covers on YouTube, which some of you may or may not have seen: I've had that keyboard for 7 years or so, and am looking to upgrade now. It is a Yamaha YPG-525 model. The piano sampling is pretty horrible, and it only has lightly weighted keys. I've looked around the net, and everyday I get more confused as to which model would suit me best. I want fully weighted keys, with a decent piano sampling worth upgrading to, and a decent selection of tones. I've mostly been using piano and strings as of late, so maybe I don't need a whole variety, but I'm used to having them there if I need it. I thought I was goin…

Hi, hopefully it's allowed to post our wanted-ad here. We are beginners and absolutely non commercial, so I just hope that it's okay. For starting with our Coldplay Coverband, we are searching for a drummer in the region around Düsseldorf and Köln (Cologne) in Germany. We (vocals/guitar/keyboard, e-guitar, bass, violin) are all around 20-25 y.o. and used the last months for creating our band. We learned our first songs, organised a rehearsal room and bought hardware so that we are able to play in a small gym. But after all, it's a long way to go for our first act. We are all passionated, but our skill level varies from the total beginner to around 15 years of mak…

I am from INDIA need chords for the song HURTS LIKE HEAVEN ..............:)

What is Chris saying at 0:57-1:04 / 1:38-1:45 /1:51-2:06 Can anybody help me please? [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVU44j3g6sA]Coldplay - Chinese Sleep Chant (Live) - YouTube[/ame]

Hi there, only found some minor chords on ultimate-guitar.com for this one, hope you can help me out. I listen to it and for me it seems to come down on 4 chords in the verse, chorus dunno. Even if I could make the exact sound up i wouldn't know how to play it on guitar. I am interested in the acoustic version of the song (there are 2 roaming around on youtube)... can't find it for the moment (although I already have it on my PC), I will try to find it and then post it here. I would be grateful for you help! //edit: Seriously, the acoustic version I got was the dominating one when I downloaded it, now I can only find the electric version tT...

Hey guys! I've been working on this cover for a while and think it doesn't sound too horrible all up. I know its not Coldplay and Drake is very far from Coldplay's style but I think I subconciously merged the styles together haha. I know it needs a bit of cleaning up and is still in early stages. Rock On Thanks. P.s Note the vocoder ;) https://soundcloud.com/jorge-cristiano-fernandes/shut-it-down

Hi COLDPLAYERS!! In MX/Hurts Like Heaven Will play xylophone or glockenspiel??? I have this questions on my head after I watched MX/Hurts Like Heaven perfomance in Stade de France:confused::thinking: On youtube there are some videos of perfomance: /watch?v=xADDYZ1UmnM (to 0:54 until 0:58) /watch?v=zVsBeoVKq3U (to 0:35 until 0:39) /watch?v=QcnCtPjAGgc (to 0:35 until 0:39) ?????? :laugh3:

Does anyone know the piano chords from this video? [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZz47lrxK4o]Chris Martin sings walking on the Moon. - YouTube[/ame]

Does anyone knows Jonny's chords during Cemeteries of London live?? I just know that he tunes his guitar half step down

My short cover of each of 4 Coldplay songs (Yellow, Trouble, The Scientist, Clocks). Hope you enjoy it! [ame= ] [/ame]

Alright well, first off, thanks to all who are viewing/responding to this because I know this has been asked plenty before but I am really quite confused, here are my questions: Well Ive been reading alot of threads about what kind of piano Martin indeed has and all that have been mentioned are digital pianos/ keyboards (ive heard of a GT-20 and an MP5) What is Chris using in live performances?? (like his Lost? performance with JayZ at the grammies??) Is it just me or does that look like a normal piano?? If it is an legit piano, how does he get such a distinct bass-like sound to come out of it?? Also how does he get such a nice…

Can anyone get me the chords for the first part of God Put A Smile Upon Your Face / Talk Tokyo 2009 of Chris Martin's guitar?

My attempt of cover this song... at my way :P I cant sing so this is what it is... just to spend time :D Tell me what you think [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HReSGQOXnLo]Coldplay - Hurts Like Heaven cover - YouTube[/ame]

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNwzUdzGSng&list=UUT5P-X8G0-06KYbyVAjCXeA&index=1]Speed of Sound, Coldplay - YouTube[/ame] My cover of Speed of Sound - its been 4 years in the making, the last of around 42 Coldplay covers. Feels like a milestone, the end of something I've loved so much! Thanks so much to anyone who's ever watched my videos. Here's my channel for anyone who hasn't http://www.youtube.com/user/Tomahawk1505 There's all sorts on there ;) Cheers!

Hey Guys, This is Nathon, AKA the guy behind the Car Kids parody:) Unfortunately, this topic is a bit more serious. I never intended on writing this post, or even having something to share from last Sunday. But by pure chance, by 12-year-old nephew captured a video of me singing "Us Against The World" at my grandmothers funeral. Rather than being offensive, I was actually surprised to see that the video did a decent job of capturing the moment. As always, these occasions never come at a good time, and the whole decision to sing was last minute. When I heard news of my grandmothers passing, singing this song helped me deal with those feelings, and thats why I c…

Hey guys, I have a little story to tell. When I first discovered Coldplay, was when I heard Yellow, and I thought: WOW this sounds so great, this must be their biggest hit! Yet I was astounded on how many hits they had made, and how every song simply struck my heart, and I just fell in love with the band. :D When I first heard Fix You, it was just perfect, and I couldnt stop listening to it. Eventually I thought to myself, that I want to find a way to show my passion for Coldplay and especially Fix You. :) That is when I sat down in my bedroom with my microphone, camera and laptop for 50 hours, and layered 45 tracks of my own voice ontop of eachothers into a big one…

PLEASE, DO NOT MERGE WITH OTHER THREADS!!! (It would ruin the whole idea... kind of) As part of winning the Biggest Will Champion fan award I accidentally promised to do a drum cover for every single Coldplay song that has drums in it. My initial idea for how to do it didn't really work out so I had to do it the easy way... I'll be looking to upload a new cover at least every other day, so keep your eyes open if you like what I'm doing. And I wouldn't mind if you left a comment too, either here in this thread, or on YouTube. Links too all the songs will be posted in this post and they will be sorted in alphabetical order so they are all gonna be easy to find. …

Hey, does anyone know the actual chords for the piano version of Us Against The World at the sandy relief concert. I can confirm the first chord is C. The tutorial of THE CHAMPION is not correct for this version. Please help

Hey folks has anyone got the tabs for this version acoustic? Thanks in advance

I thought it would be cool to make a thread where people could post music that they've made or somebody they know have made. I'll start: Here's a song that my uncle and cousin made. [ame= ] [/ame]

Hi,, guys! Here is my cover of Coldplay songs that i'm inspired from! Did a little medley and mashup on Youtube. Hope you like it! Fell free do comment and subscribe!! :) /watch?v=1RSPFI4JMRY Trouble (2000) Paradise (2011) Viva la Vida (2008) Clocks (2003)

My friend and I would really like to play Ladder to the Sun together. I will play the keyboard and my friend the eclectic guitar. Does any one have links to the best tabs/chords/sheet music for those two instruments? We would like to play as close to the original as possible although we are limited since we don't have a base... I am not entirely lazy and have searched around myself but there are so many broken links and different versions I would love if someone who really knows what they are doing would recommend one! :) thanks! Any recommendations for other fun to play guitar/keyboard coldplay songs are welcome!

If maked i song with my band we do not have a singer and we're from Eindhoven in the Netherlands. Its recorded with a ipod so its not the best record and it was just a improvisation that really sounds good. My first thing i played on the solo guitar was wrong so don't mind that I like a feedback and also we have no bandname and i like some lyrics with it

Hey everyone, I have finally been bothered to contribute to the Coldplay community as it has all done so much for me - When I was trying to learn Violet Hill, I only wanted one thing, to play it like Chris; so I scoured the web and finally found how to play it; I learnt it, and I am going to teach it to everyone so they don't have to go to all the trouble. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLJV3t4fceU]Violet Hill: Acoustic Guitar Tutorial (Chris Martin's Chords) - YouTube[/ame] Cheers, Spatchy/:P

Hellloooo :) I want a new keyboard because I use mine all the time, I love playing and learning new songs, but I have a crappy one at the minute, it was good, to learn on, to begin on, but it's not even touch sensitive :|. What ones would you guys recommend, not too expensive, but willing to pay decent amount?
