Dang thanks so much man!! :D i've been looking for this i will definitely enjoy it

[MrsMartin333]

:shame:

[PianoRocker]

heyyy :nice:

... whats an open G :uhoh:

 

 

:shame:

Same as open D but with the G.... :uhoh:

 

No, it's a tuning for guitar: DGDGBD.

[MrsMartin333]

what does open mean though?

i dont really know how to read music... at all :shame:

like is it some way you play the guitar :uhoh:

cause i have two guitars. but i never learned how to play the,.. i want to start now :P

[PianoRocker]

You can find it out very easy, play the strings open(no frets).

That's what 'open' means.

So, when you play your guitar in 'open' strings you play G major, so just 'open' G

[MrsMartin333]

:confused:

[Coldplayplusjuanes]

:confused:

 

 

to put it in a simpler way its just a different way of tuning the guitar

[Makayla]

Your guitar tabs are wrong.

My brother is playing it right now in front of me and i showed him your tabs and he can't believe that you guys think Chris Martin plays such awful chords.

He figured it out just about exact to Chris's playing in a matter of 10 minutes or so. I'm sorry for whoever spent 5 painstaking hours.

okk i have to make a correction because the tabs are correct...the only correction i must make is that the tuning is different

 

tune the first string down to a D

[skylark519]

so what are the chords to wedding bells?

[MrsMartin333]

:confused:

uhmmmm... i think im just going to give up.. again on trying to learn the guitar... :shame:

 

 

^ohh youre from the bronx :wacko:

and you went to the east rutherford shows i wanted to go to :cry:

omg you went to APW too! :shocked3:

im so jealous :bigcry:

[coldplay_is_louve.]

None of these up here are right, no offense to anyone.

 

It's hard to work off of just short video.

 

Let me see what I can do, and I'll try to post them if I figure they're 100% correct. :D

[coldplay_is_louve.]

:confused:

 

I suggest lessons before trying to learn any songs by yourself. :D

[MrsMartin333]

then do the 3rd chord, then 1st then 2nd then 3rd again

[PianoRocker]

I'll give it a try to transcribe it tomorrow.:)

 

Maybe funny but a bit hope.

We can make it a 'game'.

So if we all know how to play it we can make a game so we all finish it our own way.

And when Coldplay releases the song we can look who had made the closest full song to their version.

But the thing is, will they ever release it?

But still kinda cool for a game to see who did it the best in Coldplay style.. :) what you guys think?

That sounds fantastic! :D i'm totally up for that! you should make a group and everyone thats in should post their tabs so we can have them saved

[PianoRocker]

I just did a fast try and I found out that he mostly plays the C chord on different places.

 

First of all, the song is in standard tuning, yes indeed just the normal tuning.

 

Like you said:

1st

e|---0------|

B|---8------|

G|---0------|

D|---9------|

A|---10-----|

D|---0------|

 

It's wrong, and almost good but change it to:

1st

e|---0------|

B|---7------|

G|---0------|

D|---9------|

A|---10-----|

E|---0------|

 

If you play with this it will take 5 minutes to find out the whole song he's playing.

Just play it in different places and add some extra notes, but keep this as the basic pattern.

ahh thanks! yah that second chord is what i figured out yesterday thanks for confirming :D

[xsarehardcorex]

I figured I may as well give the song a full, sober, crack so here goes

 

Standard tuning just doesn't sound right to me, especially if you watch the longer version with Chris talking at the beginning, so I'm going to stick with E A D G B D tuning. Its difficult to hear because for much of the song the 1st string is muted, however in a number of chords you can clearly hear a high D rather than E. As per usual with Chris, notes on the 6th string are nearly always played with the thumb.

 

"Those wedding bells are..."

D|--(0)-(0)-0-0----0-|

B|---7--8--3--8----3-|

G|---0--0--0--0----0-|

D|---9--9--x--x----x-|

A|-10-10--5--10--5-|

E|-------8--3--8---3-|

 

"I always loved you and I always will"

D|-0-0----|

B|-3-1-3-|

G|-2-0-0-|

D|-4-2-x-|

A|-x-3-5-|

E|-2-3-3-|

 

"La la la la..."

D|-0-0-0-|

B|-1-3-3-|

G|-0-2-0-|

D|-2-4-x-|

A|-3-x-5-|

E|-3-2-3-|

Then this part is played until Chris goes back to "I always loved you..."

[PianoRocker]

Your first and Second chord is wrong a bit. You have to adjust the index finger down a fret from 7-8 for the first, and 8-7 on the 2nd. Also it is not 9-10....it's 10-10 for the 2nd chord. That's the way Chris plays it if you look closely from 0:23 and onwards.
