Never see a good Chris guitar tab part

 

I have "Play acoustic guitar with... Coldplay"

the first part is ok, tuning is E A B G B D#

 

and the pre-chorus is not good:

_______From the moment I wake..."

C#m13_________C#m9

9 x 11 9 0 0_____9 x 12 9 0 0

 

_____I'll be there by your side..."

F#13__________B/F#

2 x 2 4 0 0_____2 x 4 4 0 0_____________ it sounds horrible

 

Can someone help me ?

personally - it's wrong, i know - i'd play it standard tuned.

do the "half-open-chords" (or whatever you'd like to call them; just use your thumb on the low e string!!)

like the intro/chorus, it's :

Badd(b5) 799800

F#m7add4 244200

Aadd2 577600

G#madd(#5) 466400

I give you the good Chris guitar part, until the pre-chorus

 

Tuning E A B G B D#

 

B_______7 x 7 8 0 0

F#m11__2 x 2 2 0 0

Aadd9___5 x 5 6 0 0

G#m____4 x 4 4 0 0

E_______x x 5 4 0 5

Esus2___x x 5 4 0 3

B*_____x x 0 8 0 0

Bmaj7__x x 0 3 0 0

Badd11_x x 0 9 0 0

 

Intro_B____F#m11__Aadd9____G#m X3

_____Add9_________G#m

 

So I look in your direction but you pay me no attention do

____E__________Esus2__________E__________Esus2

 

you

B*___Bmaj7___B*___Bmaj7

 

And I know you listen to me cos you say you see straight through me don't you

_____E____________Esus2________E________________Esus2

 

B*___Bmaj7___B*___Badd11

That's like the best performance ever of that song

have you checked the songbook? it's amazingly close, and follows the chord pattern and the tuning that you're using.

This is from the song book, and this first part is really nice, but I think the song book is wrong from the pre-chorus to the end.

 

C#m13 C#m9 G#m7 A#dim they all sounds horrible, do you agree with me or not ?

 

We can see on the video Chris using his 5 fingers, maybe 4 (but not only three) on C#m13 C#m9 F#m13

well the first pre-chorus sounds ok, but the 'did you want me..' part sounds so bad. try this one:

oh, and when you strum the B chord (apart from the main riff), i do this:

 

7x7800 - 7x7900 - 7x7800 - 7x7900
