The Instrument Room

Hey all just a few questions i'm desperate to find the answers to :) 1. In Viva(song) does anyone know exactly what jonny plays during the song (live or studio) and what effects he uses for it? 2. Fix you solo- Does anyone know the approx delay settings etc for the solo please? Sorry if they've been answered before thanks

Does anyone know how chris plays Ring of Fire on the Till Kingdom Come tuning?

Let's face it, it's the one we all cover... Sorry if this has been posted before, I did search but I didn't want to go through 12 pages.

Can anyone Identify the large (4x12) amp Behind Johnny in this photo: It looks like it could be a third Fender Hotrod (albeit a 4x12 instead of 2x12's like his other 2). It also kind of looks like some Marshall models, but I can't see a head, so if he's running one through it it appears to be hidden. Anyone know?

Does anybody have some tips for improving your vocals? When it comes to singing i'm absolutely dreadful, though I'd really like to implement vocals into my music. Here's a link to show you how rubbish I am. http://files.filefront.com/The+Scientist+Coverwav/;13506855;/fileinfo.html (I'm the one playing the piano, oh and i'm 13 if you're wondering why I sound like a 9 yr old girl.) Clearly beyond salvation, but if you guys have any tips i'd surely appreciate them. :confused:

can someone uppload the guitar tab that chris plays on a radio session...and a good one..it would be great if kapone could do it...but if anyone else has a accurate tab please post it!:)

I've been trying to find this for a while, can anyone help me out? EDIT or is this correct? I'm trying to get the "official score" crap, there's a note wrong on there, can anyone else make one?

hi! Does anyone know what extra chords or keys chris plays at this version? [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MY6zLd1NoUU]YouTube - Coldplay's Chris Martin - The Scientist (Live)[/ame]

I've been trying to play VLV on my violin, somewhat like this guy: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsUAxG6c3Ws]YouTube - Viva La Vida - Coldplay - Violin cover[/ame] (yeah he is really good!) But I've been really confused. Is that backing part (the one actually played by strings in the very beginning of the song) in a different key than the vocals? It doesn't sound right in A flat minor! I can start the vocal part on C sharp and it sounds good, but it also sounds right starting on F sharp! I have no idea what i'm doing.

I just got into modern fingerstyle techniques (two handed slaps) and I wanted to buy a cheap guitar that I could beat up while I learn how to play. I found a 40 dollar pawn shop Lark (supposedly an old sub-manufacturer of Kay). The tailpiece is adjustable as is the neck. Now the string height is way high, and if I set it any lower, I get an undesirable buzz on the open D and G strings to the point where it is unplayable. The neck's got a bit of back bow which I think causes the buzzing, so I figured if I loosened the truss rod a bit, I could lower the tailpiece. And THEN I could make this cheap guitar be decent for its money. One problem I ran into though. The tru…

I hate to come here and not talk about coldplay, but does anyone have the sheet music for Falling For You By Seabird? Its a pretty good song and i love the piano in it. It can be seen here.

I'm creating sheetbooks for Coldplay with good transcriptions and note details. I don't wan't to do like the official books are, made easier to play for all people. I make them as best as possible, not easier to play. The Following books that I'm working on are: Parachutes PVG, A Rush Of Blood To The Head PVG, X&Y PVG, Viva La Vida PVG, Live 2003 PVG. There are also plans for 'B-sides and Rare tracks PVG'. If people like them, and give good feedback. I'll create also for all those books Guitar Tab books, Bass tab books, Drumnote books, full band books, and even orchesta books. The frontcovers are: (I made smaller images, their are A4 sized.) …
