December 25, 200520 yr Author Been great! Wish my family who temporaily evaporate though so I can be left to my own devices for a bit. xD So many things I want to do! Read! Write! Piano! Draw! Movies! Arrrgh! :lol: And brilliant name for a guitar, I might add. :D
December 25, 200520 yr Ummm....not really! :lol: Enough to get by with just learning by ear/tabs for now, but i've gotta teach myself chords all over again as i dont remember anything. My guitar teacher died when i was a kid and i took it badly, so i just kinda stopped playing (acoustic). I wish i hadnt! Hope he'd be proud! :)
December 25, 200520 yr Author Are you playing In My Place in that picture? Looks like it. (I'm such a NERD.) And I'm sorry about your teacher. :( But I'm glad you're getting back into it! :D
December 25, 200520 yr Author Are you playing In My Place in that picture? Looks like it. (I'm such a NERD.) [Nice Guitar btw] And I'm sorry about your teacher. :( But I'm glad you're getting back into it! :D
December 25, 200520 yr I feel so pathetic. My In My Place sounds horrible! :lol: Steph, do you have stuff to record songs?
December 25, 200520 yr Nope, nothing. I still gotta buy myself an amp! :lol: Hopefully get one sometime next week. :)
December 25, 200520 yr I got Parachutes on vinyl, which is amazing... and when I was recently in DisneyWorld with my family, we passed this booth that had silver band rings that a guy would carve a person's name into ... or whatever words you wanted .. and i mentioned that coldplay in a ring would be amazing. No one said anything, I didn't think they were listening... and I forgot about it. But today, I opened a mickey mouse box... and there was a silver ring with coldplay engraved into the ring for my left pinky finger (like chris')... very very sweet :)
December 25, 200520 yr i got the clock the x&y clock that changes colour every hour and the x&y jigsaw coaster as well as the x&y t shirt with glastonbury on the back!!!! my family are so cool!!!!!!!!!!! let us know how your guitar playing goes steph! daily updates! Merry Xmas! :santa:
December 25, 200520 yr i didn't get anything coldplay, but i'm going to buy myself the calendar and i'm going to buy my sister one for her apartment because she's moving out next week and she loves coldplay as much as i do :D
December 25, 200520 yr Author Yay for everyone! And, steph, you might be interested to know that Jon and Chris detune their guitars to get a different sound and make playing some impossible chords easier. Hence why many people who try to replicate the Coldplay sound when playing one of their songs, can't do it often times. :D Isn't that awesome? *Holds up book* That's who told me.
December 25, 200520 yr Steph, your guitar is gorgeous :D Well cool! :cool: I was playing my cousin's electric guitar today :lol: I was teaching her Coldplay and she taught me REM everybody hurts. My acoustic just isnt good enough now! I need ELECTRIC! :lol: I got a coldplay calendar this year and also my friend who came to earls court with me gave me a photo of Will she took that I hadn't seen yet :D (that was the best present! :lol: ) I'll scan it tomorrow :D
December 25, 200520 yr :lol: funny isn't it? It's from some interview that was posted on here.....one sec. I'll find it
December 25, 200520 yr here it is. If you listen to the Guy and Will interview. It's quite long but funny. Esp at the end when they're trying to say the name of the show and can't get it right. :lol: http://www.dasding.de/musik/rock/coldplay/
December 26, 200520 yr Author WOW! Thanks for that! That was hilarious. I love how they repeat it three times and Will, the second time, goes "FUCKING HELL" and you can hear Guy say "So easy... it's so bloody easy. 'Ding' that's it man," and you can hear Will say something like 'Well why don't you do it?' and they laugh and the last time is done really fast. xD
