What note?

[FIX U2 Clocks]

Okay, at the end of Fix You when the elec. guitar comes in what two notes are being played? I can't figure it out?

 

Also when the acoustic comes in when he starts singing "and the tears come streaming down your face" what notes are those?

[Petra_coldplay]

The electric guitar part.. is

The normal tuning only the highest E is tuned to F#. I believe.

 

And then you have on the highest E and B

 

(E---0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-)

B---5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-12-12-12-12-5-5-5-5-5-5-4-4-4-4-4

 

You have to feel when you have to slide. from the 5 til the 12.

That's the electric guitar part. And you don't have to play the E it isn't nessesary. But i don't know if it's being tuned to F#.

 

I also found another thingie for the outro.

Thats:

 

B: 4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4/11-11-11-11\4-4-4-4-4-4-4/11-11-11-11-11\4-4-4-4-4-3-3-3-3-3

So listen to what you think it's best.

 

And the chords i found them on the internet for you :

 

http://www.911tabs.com/link/?1270920 pretty hard chords so you can play with a capo on the first fret and the chords tune into normal things without #.

Eb and Bb

I really dont see why Fix You of all the simplest songs of Coldplay is the one noone knows how to play right. First tune your guitar flat. and then its like she said

 

0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0

5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-12-12-12

 

then on the fourth time you go 5-5-5-4-4-4-4 you'll get it... or i hope you will...

[Petra_coldplay]

Allright flat means half step down ? Right :)

[improvisation]

Yes.

i think you'll find it is just the top e which is flat. u can tell if u watch jonny play the verse and chorus bit and copy what he's playing then the rest of the strings need to be standard tuning

[improvisation]

No, I know what im talking about. Try it before you post about crap you just made up yourself. If you want a correct tab of the whole song both live and studio just ask me and ill post or pm. Ive met Jonny and he played it right in front of me.

[crestingwaves]

Just tune your little E string down to Eb....so, if you were tuning the guitar...instead of getting it in tune with the 5th fret on the B string, just do the 4th fret...

 

Then, what I do, is play this...

 

E(Eb): 0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0

B: 4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4/11-11-11-11-4-4-4...etc.

 

and then eventually:

E(Eb): 0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0

B: 4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-3-3-3-3-3-3-3

 

Im pretty sure that is it. What I think they did in the studio's is played it in E, not Eb, but just turned the pitch or whatever down, when they were mixing it. Luckily, it is still easy to play live and all that, so yeh. I hope that helps.

HELLO??? IS MY POST INVISIBLE????

[crestingwaves]

Yeh, but I also know what I'm talking about.

[improvisation]

What ever you say

[crestingwaves]

well, you say to tune the whole guitar flat.....but, why do that, when you can just put the e string down to Eb, saves a lot of time and mucking around and is easier - and sounds perfectly right.

[Climb to the Sun]

Yeh, I play it the way crestingwaves does...seems to work all fine for me.

excuse me you obviously dont know what you're talking about. i was fortunate enough to see jonny play this at abbey road about a metre away from me. i can promise u that he plays the 4th and 11th frets on the b string whilst the e is tuned flat. if u look at what he plays in the chorus then the rest of the strings E-B must be standard or he would be playing the wrong notes.

 

it's one thing being rude when u are right but when u are very wrong its much worse.
