Coldplay strumming

Featured Replies

Hi Guys

Well can anyone tell me strumming pattern of Till Kingdom comes & A message.I will be really grateful.

you just have to feel this

listen couple of times and you have it.

 

Or just do your own pattern

Yea thats kind of impossible to "tell" you the pattern. Its something you have to figure out on your own. I can tell you like when and where you do a up or down stroke, but that wont help you out much its more of a rythem you have to find.

Strumming patterns can be confusing when you're first starting out but you learn to pick it up pretty quickly.

Play them without singing first, as doing both can throw you off.

Thanxs guys .I m beginner so can anyone give me some tips.Anyone knows exact tabs of TKC and Message

Well they both require different tunings, which may be difficult for a beggining guitarist, but if your still interested try this with TKC: Tuning: CACGBe

0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 This is the intro and the verse, the '\'

 

indicates you to slide up the neck.

 

 

And for a message, I really don't know the tuning off the top of my head, but you can just use a guitar Capo on the first fret and play these chords:

 

x32010

022010

020010

320010 these are the verse

 

133211 <-- end of verse 1 and 2

 

then for the chorus:

 

xx0231

x32010

320003

 

 

 

try those and see if they help at all

Alternatively for 'A message' if you can't be bothered to mess with the tuning or don't have a capo, you can play the simplified chords, using the standard tuning.

Sounds okay and gets the job done if you dont have a capo and no risk of snapping any strings. :thumbsup:

 

Db - 446664

Fbm - 133111

Ab - 466544

Gb - 244322

Ebm - x68876

 

For the verses use: Db, Fmb, Ab

 

For the pre chorus (You don't have to be alone) Gb, Fbm, Ab

 

For the chorus (and i'm not going to take...) Ebm, Db, Ab

i asked myself how do you explain a strumming pattern ? :s

 

I wouldn't know how to write it out.

Maybe with U (up) and D (down..)

So for example U-U-U-D-U-D-D or something :)

It's just an idea

I found that for A Message the strumming pattern UDDUDDUD worked fine :)
