November 29, 200817 yr well you could use myspace but if not i think you can use this site http://www.zshare.net/ and once uploaded just post the download link into that thread i just made :D ...thats site also lets you listen without downloading aswell :D thanks mate:)
November 29, 200817 yr still feels great whenever i play it, took me a while to do the opening two handed mind, being able to do it with ease now how chris plays it makes me that im making progress. Btw 99% of the versions on youtube (the cover versions) are terrible, most people dont play it two handed at the start, they play a sort of bastardized version
November 29, 200817 yr right ive done it, i posted an ad in the universities "find a band " facebook page no going back now
November 29, 200817 yr so sbomb what are your fav songs to play? i have my keyboard next to me and im enjoying postcards from far away now :)
November 29, 200817 yr honestly ive never tried to learn that, not a fan of it Favourite songs, well ive been playing since october the 2nd and other than a few beatles songs, ive only learned coldplay ones I love the ending of politik, but not a fan of the opening that much I love the opening/middle/end of clocks but not the melody (which i have to play as i dont have a drummer/guitarist handy) Green eyes i love playing as well as reign of love, i love trouble but again not a huge fan of the melody I would say from start to end imagine and hey jude are fun to play, as well as "let it be"
November 29, 200817 yr also recently white christmas and coral of the bells which ive been learning for xmas
November 29, 200817 yr ever tried to compose something original? im working on 12 songs right now. And btw do you have a piano or a keyboard?
November 29, 200817 yr now you say that last night i had a play around, composed about 8 seconds of a nice little ditty, only using the c and d chords and a little run on the right hand. I dont have a piano/keyboard i have to use the uni music rooms, they have grand pianos in there which is great but i have to be out by 10pm, cant play weekends and cant if theres a choir/society taking the rooms. Getting and NP30 hopefully at christmas, have to see how funds are
November 30, 200817 yr Well i was so lucky about having my instruments cuz my girlfriend gave them to me as present:) which bands do you like apart from Coldplay?
November 30, 200817 yr erm...oasis, death cab for cutie is good, other than that no bands really, i have a bit of an obsession with coldplay songs which i cant explain really, i listen to them on loop most of the time, its what made me want to learn and discover my passion for instruments. Put it this way, im 22 now, leading up to 22 i had no care whatsoever to play musical instruments, then at 22 i discovered warning sign aol sessions, and a spark was lit, literally, i bought a guitar, yamaha 310, not great but a really good starter and play it every day. Then i found the uni music room and started to learn clocks and again a sparks lit. I cant imagine life without my guitar now, soon as i get a digi piano that will be the same
November 30, 200817 yr yeah that warning sign at AOL rocks.I also have that obsession about Coldplay songs.Mine started with The Scientist and got more powerful with Swallowed in the Sea.Playing the chords on guitar like Chris does is something very exciting cuz you know in Violet hill he plays those chords in such a strange way.After i figured that out playing guitar became more and more fun.I hope you will have that keyboard mate:)
November 30, 200817 yr The end to violet hill almost killed me, i find it very hard to do with a pick so i strum with my thumb, sounds nicer Yeh that scientist 3 chord is amazing, i found one on ultimate guitar which is nice, capo on 3 b7, g D then a weird kind of D which i love to play, i think it sounds slightly nicer but i do love the acoustic version he plays. I love playing til kingdom come, so fun
November 30, 200817 yr yeah till kingdom come is really fun to play:)but im still kinda upset cuz now my feet wont touch the ground sounds almost the same. I think they were playing till kingdom come and it came out
November 30, 200817 yr i havent learned any of the new stuff yet, been looking out for a good prospekts march though, been looking out for a new guitar mind, semi acoustic is the way forward, with a decent amp fo course
November 30, 200817 yr have you ever tried to play nothing else matters? I think its one of the best songs on acoustic guitar to play. Btw checked your guitar's pic and it looks cool i have an an acoustic ibanez. do you record covers? and if you do which program you use?
November 30, 200817 yr i dont do any recording, i havent tried nothing else matters but loved the one they did with the philharmonic, listened to that dvd a couple of years back and that was a standout song, illve have a go tonight
November 30, 200817 yr you should really try some Metallica songs. They are so melodic and make your fingers stronger than ever:)check my cover on the other thread.I played both of the instruments and use a recording program to mix them. What do you think does it sound ok to you?
November 30, 200817 yr thanks :) i wanna record and upload some covers more but i am always scared of people's reaction.
November 30, 200817 yr that was seemless mate, i cant wait to upload some, my computer and laptop have both broken within a week of each other so i cant use my webcame until i can get one or both fixed
November 30, 200817 yr so i will record the next ones with a camera then:)and i hope we will make a full band cover soon
November 30, 200817 yr i tried recording with my cell phone but the quality that came out was terrible, i was strangely proud though when i heard it back, umbelievably muffled but you could hear at least that the song flowed if that makes sense
November 30, 200817 yr i wish my bandmates were as passionate as you. i dont remember them recording a song in last 5 months. we just recorded clocks and 2 turkish songs thats all.You will find bandmates i hope
November 30, 200817 yr i hope so, god id love to find another guitarist who loves coldplay or similar bands, or better someone who can sing, that way we can do the live nights at the uni My first song would be sparks i think, such a lovely intro, green eyes to end, perhaps on guitar though
