    Here I have some of my Coldplay's song instrumental versions. The Scientist very shortened with my kind of idea for the next part and ending. The Hardest Part live, acoustic, with no vocal and with the Postcards at the end, and Half of Fix You. Half, because I was too lazy to do the hard part, lol. Let me know if it's good or bad. I know that the quality's not the best, but forgive me. I had this idea, that if You want to add something to it (probably not), I don't know, the guitar or the singing, as you want, you can let me know. http://thechampion.wrzuta.pl/audio/374217ava3P/coldplay_-_the_scientist http://thechampion.wrzuta.pl/audio/9g6kp6sDpnv/the_champion_-_…

  21. Hey all, this is the first tab I've done on the computer (I'm so glad I found the tabbing template somewhere, if anyone can't find it, I'd much be willing to repost it because I have it saved as a notepad file).
