I used to play the guitar, but recently decided to pick it up and play Green Eyes, well attempt too lol.

Can any of you guys play any cold play stuff? Did it take long to learn them? :D

green eyes on guiatr is hard...my freind who taught me how to play guitar said hell attempt it one day because i was playing it a while back :/

i thought it was relitivly easy, just A (*honey you are a rock) F (Upon which i fall) B ( and i came here to talk) ...... and so on

yeah I'm with mburn, I thought green eyes was easy....which was the BIGGEST reason I played that at my churches talent show!!!

Britt, how'd you do in the talet show? :D and my bf said it was easy, but I sorta suck at guitar at the moment so I donno lol

Thanks Octakon! That's like the version that I'm (attempting) to play lol

And I HATE that stupid Bm, btw, it's such an annoying chord. I can never switch to it fast enough.

 

How long have you guy's that play guitar been playing?

Britt' date=' how'd you do in the talet show? :D and my bf said it was easy, but I sorta suck at guitar at the moment so I donno lol[/quote']guess I did well!! like i said, it was easy for my, so it went off without a hitch!! haha you suck at guitar?? Im sorry i dunno what to tell you :( :confused: :/ :lol: :embarrased:

 

I'm glad you did good :) I used to MC a lot of talent shows, and not nearly enough people did anything on the guitar, I think that sad. All the cute guitar players are famous and don't know I exist :cry: --well, except one that is ;)

hmm.. Bm isn't that hard really. Play it as a barré like this: 224432 (with your "pointing-finger" covering all of the strings in the second fret) :)

dear mr octakon,

 

I realize you are some sort of "guitar playing extraordinare" but some are not. SOME people cannot play bm....so if someone says, "I can't play bm, I cant get there fast enough," your response should not be "Bm isn't that hard really" Thank you for listening...and have a wonderful day

 

Yours Truly,

Britt! :smug:

Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't see the "I can't get there fast enough" :/ By the way, I'm not some "guitar playing extraordinare", and I'm just trying to help.. :confused:

ok ok ok!! all is well with the world....it just sounds condescending.......

 

BUT HEY LONG LIVE GREEN EYES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! come everyone sing along "honey you are the sea..." or in french "cherie tu es la mer....sur laquelle je flotte...et je suis venu ici parler....

I've never seen him play a Barre during Green Eyes and I've got it live on DVD :confused:

Maybe Chris can't get there fast enough either :lol:

hi guys! i have my brother here,he plays on guitar too,he can play ;scientist,in my place,politik,clocks,trouble.....maybe others,but not green eyes i guess,anyway,i'm a new member here,from egypt,my name is sara,PLZ WELCOME ME! :sneaky:

Hiya Sara, I love your name - it's mine too :D Welcome to the board, your gonna love it here. It's very addicting! And it's cool that you're from Egypt, I've always wanted to go there and check out Cairo and the Valley of the Dead...ah someday...

I look forward to reading your posts :D ~sarah

welcome to the board faceless :cool: :D

The thing with Coldplay is they use lots of open string chords. Playing Green Eyes in the regular A, Bm, and E chords is fine but I've tabbed Green Eyes which makes it sound really good. And if you listen to the acoustics in the song real closely, my tab matches it.

 

OK first you need to place a capo on the 2nd fret. Next tune the high 'e' string to the 5th fret on the guitar and in this case, it's the 3rd fret from where you've placed the capo. OK here's the chords (:

 

G Bm Am Am* C Fmaj7 Asus2 Cmaj7

e---0------0------0------0------0-----0----------0--------0

B---3------3------1------1------1-----1----------0--------0

G---4------4------2------0------0-----2----------2--------0

D---5------4------2------2------2-----3----------2--------2

A---5------X------0------0------3-----3----------0--------3

E---6------2-------0------0------0-----1----------0-------0

 

With a lot of the chords in this song, you have to use your thumb to hold down on the low 'e' which may be hard for beginners. Also you'll have to figure out all the timing on which chords to use, but these are the chords.
