QuestionsOfScience Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Hey all. I was experimenting on my keyboard with different time siginatures, and I found one that fitted almost perfectly with the Coldplay song. So, it was (believe it or not) 3/4. Yep, that's what it is, but, it has to be fast, and I do mean FAST. I reckon about 206 bpm... So there you have it! Post a reply for comments, or if I'm wrong, correct me!

PianoRocker Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 CoL is in 4/4 Tempo is lower for sure can't say exact the right one :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lifeintechnicoloriii Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 I am torn between the two myself, both are correct, 3/4 is the one I got first, and only after a while heard the 4/4, interesting :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PianoRocker Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 If you play it on bass it is 4/4, 3/4 doesn't fit on the bass pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
princesanji Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 although not being correct, i think the bass fits 3/4 pretty good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuestionsOfScience Posted November 1, 2009 Author Share Posted November 1, 2009 I quite like the idea of a very fast 3/4, i got something ridiculous...like 206 bpm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
princesanji Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 well, just from remembering how fast 200bpm are, imagining a 3/4 and the COL bass to it... seems to be correct EVENTUALLY, there IS kind of a 3/4... 4/4 is not correct. the best measure is 6/8 (if you passed 5th grade at school, your mathematic brain will say: "ooh, 3/4 equals 6/8!") however, the beat is: 76 x 1.5quarter beats per minute i can't describe that properly... 76 dotted quarter notes per minute at 6/8 (or 50+2/3 bpm) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I passed standard grade (Scottish qualification) music, and yo sir, have rightly described exactly what I'm thinking about! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

princesanji Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 it DOES ! i'll upload an mp3 soon (just finished this minute...), prooving it is possible... but be warned: 1) i AM lazy, and i just took my telecaster thinline instead of a bass (didn't wanna walk :D), so sorry, it sounds awful (i should have turned off the chorus.... lazy however) 2) sorry for the poor chord stuff afterwards (after the bass part) , it wasn't planned... you can hear that because i wasn't on time with the beat at first... in the end you'll hear the riff jonny is doing live (instead of the piano), it is as usually not confirm with the beat, but sadly, i didn't turn off the beat so you'll hear how creepy it actually sounds.... edit: here it is: http://www.sendspace.com/file/adg45v Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudonym Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 It's 6/8 quite obviously. You can do it as 3/4 but it will seem very fast. 6/8 is the official notation time signature for this song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PianoRocker Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Listen GOOD, between C#m and A are 4 beats, and between A and F#m Also four beats.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Final Track Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 I'd say 3/4 that's what my sheet music says- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuestionsOfScience Posted November 26, 2009 Author Share Posted November 26, 2009 Although, I've got a piece of sheet music which says it's 6/8, 76 bpm, and in Eflat minor. I dunno, go with whatever you like! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
