i agree that moses is the easiest to play. and the sound on the amp is so awesome.

actually the lead guitar for that song that johnny plays is quite easy too.

the beginning of square one is played with an ebow

e----------------------

b----------------------

g---5---12-----17----

d----------------------

a----------------------

e----------------------

 

and in the second verse, jonny uses an ebow as well

 

e--------------------------

b-11--3--4----------------

g---------------------------

d---------------------------

a---------------------------

e---------------------------

 

the second time around jonny does a little hammer on with the 3rd and 4th fret

 

theres no ebow in square one. he uses a fade pedal. the tab is in here somewhere

can someone please finish up Green Eyes? the version with EADGBd and capo II.

In my place Acoustic - Kapone!!!

 

Hi Kapone and Mate thanks for all the good tabs. In my place acoustic, have you done this one. I'll send you it on email if you want but i think its in the multimedia section.

 

I uploaded it to rapidshare, heres the link. Would be mega if you could tab cause at the moment i play is A, A/C, C#m, E etc

cheers in advance matey.

Green Eyes -ColdPlay

 

*Tune the little e string to a D (or the 3rd fret of the b string)*

*Capo on the 2nd fret*

Chords:

G D/F# Am* also use these chords:-Am(as usual)

e--- --- --- -C (as usual)

b-3- -3- -3- -Fmaj7(as usual)

g--- -2- -5-

d--- --- -5-

a-2- --- ---

E-3- -2- ---

 

There are little things the guitar does

like when it's playing Am*

it goes quickly to

e ---

b -3- then to G again

g -4-

d -5-

a ---

E ---

Also with the normal Am it quickly switches to:

e---

b---

g-2-

d-2-

a---

E---

Plus ! in "i came here with a load..." part

is like this:

 

Am C

e--0-0---0-0---0-0---0-0----0-0---0-0---0-0---0-0-

b--1-1---1-1---1-1---1-1----1-1---1-1---1-1---1-1-

g--2-2---2-2---2-2---2-2----0-0---0-0---0-0---0-0-

d--2-2---2-2---2-2---2-2----2-2---2-2---2-2---2-2-

a-0-----------0------------3--------------3-----------

E------0-------------0-------------3------------3----

 

...and then just normal strums after that so just listen to the song

and you will get the rhythym and strum pattern, etc. ok ! Heres the song:

 

G D/F# Am* (do the little switch i explained above)

Honey you are a rock

G D/F# Am*

Upon which I stand

G D/F# Am*

And I came here to talk

G D/F# Am*

I hope you understand

 

Am

The green eyes

C

Yeah the spotlight

G D/F#

Shines upon you

Am

And how could

C

Anybody

G D/F#

Deny you

 

Am (with the tab above)C

I came here with a load

G Fmaj7 C

And it feels so much lighter now I met you

Am C

And honey you should know

G Fmaj7 C

That I could never go on without you

Am

Green eyes

 

2nd part (same chords as first)

Honey you are the sea

Upon which I float

And I come here to talk

I think you should know

 

The green eyes

your the one that I wanted to find

anyone who tries to deny you

must be out of their mind

 

Cuz I came here with a load

and it feels so much lighter now I met you

honey you should know

that i could never go on without you

 

Green eyes

 

**for the woah-oh-oh I'm sure you could figure it out**

Ends on Am

 

Ill upload a version ive just layed quickly down onto sounclick. Just so the beginners get an idea of the chords :D. Excuse the singin' and i F**k it up in the second bridge. The chords are not quite right there. KAPONE help with that one. The part that goes "the green eyes youre the one that i wanted to find"

Here it is have fun

Wow, and here I am thinking I'm the only person who couldn't do it! You just made my day! I tried for like 5mins just to get my fingers into proper position let alone strum the strings.

^Aww, you sound exactly the same as me!!! It takes me so long, lord knows how i'd ever play at normal speed. Its so hard. :/

Jeez tell me about it. I was playing Ode To Joy to my brother and he has this blank look on his face... I was playing it so slow that he didn't know what song it was. :embarrased:

 

Maybe I ought to get more familiar with the guitar and practice a lot more before I can make the step to Coldplay songs. How long have you been playing the guitar? Either way' date=' keep plucking away and good luck. I know I ain't quitting. Coldplay's a huge inspiration.[/quote']

^I got my 1st electric for Christmas, but havent played since I was about 10, when I used to play acoustic. Im teaching myself from start with tabs. And i agree, im not gonna quit either. ;) Keep me updated with your progress! :)

You got an electric one? Wow, thats fantastic. One day... when I'm fast enough to play the acoustic maybe I'll move up. :wink3:

 

Plus, does anyone have a Coldplay tab that they would say is the easiest to play out of all their songs?

I need an easy one to start off with, to try and learn my 1st whole song.

Thanks in advance.

Yeah I wouldn't mind that either. I neeeeeed to play a Coldplay song!

 

 

This is getting confusing with all the quotes. :lol: :lol:

/\ No probs mate :lol:

Easiest ColdPlay song must be....... A Rush of Blood to the Head. Easy Chord progression. If you search for it there are about 10 versions of it. If you dont fancy kapones then go to here

 

http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/c/coldplay/a_rush_of_blood_to_the_head_crd.htm

 

and see if thats ok the only chord thats a problem is the B??? chord. Just play a barred Bb. Word of warning though, it'll not sound right unless you leave the high e string open and use your thumb for the F chord, ala Kapones tab.

Does anyone have a good, accurate Talk tab? I saw your tab for the solo Kapone, it was great. I have the main riff and thanks to you the solo pretty much down pat, but I'm having trouble with the chords he plays during the verses and such. Please help?

 

thanks

Tab for sleeping sun?

 

Does anyone have a pretty good tab for Sleeping Sun? I cant find one anywhere...

MS-Ferrari, bless ya, I know exactly what you mean. I played a bit of GPASUYF to my sis and it was so slow she had no clue what it was :lol:

But i've been practicing just for a short while everyday and i can almost play it at normal speed now, which is great! Patience is a virtue i guess! :lol:

 

markigta, thanks for the AROBTTH tab and tips, a song with easy chord progression is exactly what I needed. Im gonna make a start at it tonight, i'll let you know how I get on. Cheers mate! :)

Does anyone know where to find a guitar tab for Sleeping Sun

 

I was wondering if anyone had an idea of where to find the tab for sleeping sun... or if anyone could tab it for me... that would be great... THanks

I dont understand a thing of this tab, it seems that the chords for the first verse are different than kapone's and his were spot on.

 

Kapone please finish green eyes :lol:

Its a different tab. This is the tab with the High e tuned to d and and a capo on the 2nd fret. Easier to play in my opinion :lol:

Help With Yellow...

Any problems, just message me ….

Any chance of getting Bigger Stronger tab? Including Jonny's lead, too?

Thanks

Kapone! Legend, dude. I'm desperate for good Low tabs though, the chords look pretty high on video and are hard to hear for me to work out, especially whether they're barre chords or... whatever the other ones are. I was wondering if you could for us? Also Johnny's bit confuses me a bit, mixing so well with the plethora of synth.

 

By the way, in response to one of your earlier posts, an easier way of notating tabs in text like you do, without having to manually type out all the lines and notes would be to first tab it as normal in Guitar Pro, then export the file in ASCII format for a notepad version. This is just something I found that surprised me, hope it helps all those avid tabbers out there, unless you already knew of course. XD

Dear Mr. Kapone- would it be possible to get the tab on Bigger Stronger and Brothers and Sisters chords?

Thank you much.
