coldplaying-forever27 Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Help meeeee........ (please :)) Hi, I have just formed a new band, and right now we are short of a member, the Chris of our band is missing, and this means the Rythm guitarist/pianist. I'm in desperate need of some coldplay songs which only require 3 people, i.e the Bassist, Lead G, and Drummer. I think I know that Talk, and In my place are in this category, but I'm not absolutely certain, could anyone name some that aren't really gonna be too crazily difficult to do please? (edit) P.S. If anyone wants to mention non-coldplay stuff without the need of the 2nd guitarist, then shoot! We just need some more meaningful stuff than Greenday and Muse is all!

PianoRocker Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 White Shadows, Lovers in Japan, Viva La Vida. You have to work with backtracks for some songs tho.... you also can create a backtrack with the second guitar/piano on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Final Track Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Viva is a little hard even with backtracks, since it includes a bell and a string quartet in addition of the repeating chords. Lovers In Japan features the tackpiano, and really, none of the Viva era songs are good if you want to play them. They're good music, just not easy to play's all. I'd say Politik, and you can get someone to play the 2 (eventually 5 or so) chords on the piano or pre record them. Lost can be modified and covered by the trio of instruments. In My Place and White Shadows have backtracks but it's not as important on the first mentioned than the latter. How about 1.36? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noonsun Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Nonono, you make your own back-tracks by recording them and setting them to play over and over... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But thanks so far, more help pleasseeee..... :) There's some site where they sell backtracks for some cheap price, you should check the "I need only LIT2 dulcimer backtrack" thread, there's a link there. That's the only backtrack I have. Covering Lost would have the guitar playing chords, the bass holding it's originality (maybe change it a bit to include some of the lead guitar parts) and a stronger drumbeat, the drums in the studio version are hard to copy.

princesanji Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 THOSE "backing tracks" are SHIT. sorry for my choice of words but they really are not good! however: try death will never conquer, it really is without chris! and speed of sound, yellow...

The Final Track Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 ^Hmm, well there are more fish in the barrel, aren't there? (and no, I'm not thinking Prospekt's March) Yellow has 2 guitars, Speed of Sound could go but needs a back track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
princesanji Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 yellow can be re-arranged for 1 guitar vey well! and forget about those backing-tracks, you don't really need them, just have try without... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Final Track Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Then the guitar player better be skilled. Anyway, the band play in doesn't use backtracks either so you can do without. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
