Trouble is played in drop-D, correct?

 

(sorry to bombard the board with tuning questions:embarassed:, but I'm working out some CP covers...)

I believe Trouble is tuned like this

 

E

A

D

G

B

D

It isn't tuned in D...because as far as I know there are no D chords in it at all. The main riff is just: G Em Bm7

Yeah but it's in the key of G, and G has a D note in it. Coldplay is notorious for doing this sort of stuff with their tunings so things ring out, so I wouldn't rule it out. They also happen to find tunings that make the chords either sound a little dissonant, perhaps something they picked up from Radiohead.

That's what makes it so d$#n difficult to figure out their tunings.:veryangry:

 

(well that and Jon's habit of constantly swapping his thinlines so you can't even judge based on what a given guitar is tuned to...)

 

-sigh-

No fakfak, it is better for your own learning progress.

Finding out the good notes, chords and tuning... will increase your music ear very fast!

And by the way, no tuning needed.. with tuning it will be easier to play.

BUT you learn from stretching you fingers!

Just tune your high e string to a d and you're ready to go.

That simplifies things. I have a terrible ear for tunings. (that's called being a s^%#$y musician...)

Tis wat i said. High e goes to a D and then you're set. You can play it with standard tuning as well...it just means you do a little hammer-on on the bstring.

I kind of suck at hammer ons, so for me it's probably best to go ahead and re-tune the guitar.

i don't see how you can have sounds problems with e to d tuning ? maybe your guitar suck

Fakfak

 

it's not tuned in drop D.

 

however, the HIGH E is dropped down to D.

 

not the Low E.

 

this works out better with the chords,

and Jons parts are all in this tuning too

 

:)

 

tune like so,

 

d-

B-

G-

D-

A-

E-

Hey! this is the first time I've noticed Sam Devos on here. I've seen all your you-tube videos man, they're really awesome. I remember noticing my avatar on your wall. Just thought I'd share that...

It's not so much getting to the tuning I have issues with, as it is figuring out which tuning I should use for a given song.

 

That said, my guitar does suck!:lol:

yup to that guy who said about coldplay tuning their high e's down to D alot.

 

well, on parachutes,

 

sparks is in the same, but with a capo,

 

and high speed has alot of strings tuned to D.

 

boy, they like their D's! :laugh3:
