Tnspieler1012 Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 awesome thanks. Even though I see Chris playing C#m that way live, I like playing it x46654 so I can switch to this chord x46444 before the A. I think it imitates the piano more accurately. Chris Martin can go shove it! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avdhesh4blues Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 ...a bit of correction... Chris tunes the 1st and the 2nd, i.e the two bottomost strings, to C#. And he plays them open in the entire sond. Thats how he gets the ring... Tune it E A D G C# C#. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MosesTheMarshmallow Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 ...a bit of correction... Chris tunes the 1st and the 2nd, i.e the two bottomost strings, to C#. And he plays them open in the entire sond. Thats how he gets the ring... Tune it E A D G C# C#. Good tab. Most of the tabs I've seen online use A-root-string barre chords and don't take into account the important Chris thumb-action. :cool: Two changes I'm suggesting... -The quick F#5-F-E is played by Chris as 244200, 133200, 022100. -In the 4th beat of the Cm in the verse, it's a sort of Bsus2 type of chord to transition to the A. The tab for that is 799800. You could also leave the e (highest/bottomest....ARGH TERMINOLOGY :veryangry2:) as... e. My reasoning for that is that the note E sounds pretty good with all of the chords, and I'm paranoid about my little e string since I've broken it a couple times in detuning. :embarrassed: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
