Trouble lead!!

[kubagoczek]

Help! I don't have parachutes tabbook, but I need guitar tab to Trouble (Jonny Buckland's part) Especially first chorus!!

[ColdplayBirdsFly]

trouble

 

I tabbed this out awhile ago...

Hope it helps you!

 

Oh, and for the Album version of the chorus, I think he's arpeggiating Amajor and Eminor chords... not positive on that though.

that's exactly what he's doing. The book tab complicates it but it's basically downward arpeggios of the d,g,b strings while holding A major chord and then the three highest strings while holding an E minor. Pretty simple. strum the full open chord first before arpeggiating if you want, it just imitates the slides in a lower octave which is nice when you don't have two guitars overdubbed.

[kubagoczek]

I thought the end is 10 -> 5

12 -> 7

12 -> 7!!

[Tnspieler1012]

the outro is just 12s and 7s, and on the last strum you keep moving down to 5 or whatever.

[yellowtalk]

if you want, when the drums come in for the first time and after the second chorus, play this:

 

E--------0-----------0-------

B-----------0-----------0----

G------0----------0----------

D---5----------2-----------4~

[Tnspieler1012]

notes above are right, but the high E is actually tuned to D

[fakfak]

"notes above are right, but the high E is actually tuned to D"

 

Are you sure? I've seen video of him playing Trouble right after playing a song in standard tuning without changing guitars.

[Tnspieler1012]

Play it yourself and compare it to the album. an open e doesn't sound right and I'm going by the book. It's not a tough tune change to make live, just a quick twist is all.

[yellowtalk]

sorry i forgot to state that, it is tuned to D.

[fakfak]

"Play it yourself and compare it to the album."

 

If I attempt to play slide, it's going to sound mangled regardless of the tuning...:laugh3:

 

You could be right though, it's not like he has to retune all the strings or anything.

[Tnspieler1012]

lol.

 

You don't need a slide for the intro though, just pick the bit yellowtalk posted and you'll hear the difference.

[kubagoczek]

so what is right tuning for trouble !?

[kubagoczek]

at least I know how to play it !! :) it's about tune one step down E5 string and it sounds perfect !! :)
