MosesTheMarshmallow Posted January 7, 2011 Author Share Posted January 7, 2011 @Zergio - I see. :o You're right about Violet Hill. Yes you were right to question (was that Kapone's?) tab. This is what the tuning is; I'm pretty sure about this. e - down to c# B - down to c# G - down to F D - down to C# A - down to G# E - down to C# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jin256 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Oh thank you so much, ill try this sometime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zergio107 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 how do you get the d string tuned to f? I'm sure that this tuning is the correct: e > C# B > C# G > G# D > F A > C# E > C# But if you can't do it, you can try this one (is the same) capo 1 e > C B > C G > G D > E A > C E > C edit: That tuning is wrong, sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jin256 Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 No you are wrong Zergio! you can't even tune the d string to f Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zergio107 Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 I have my guitar in that tuning right now. (without capo), and when i used Moses' tuning it sounds bad. But if you feel that your guitar string is going to snap, you should try this tuning whith capo on 1st fret that is the same thing. Capo 1st fret e > C B > C G > G D > E A > C E > C edit: again the tuning is wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MosesTheMarshmallow Posted January 8, 2011 Author Share Posted January 8, 2011 On string snapping - it generally won't snap if you're lowering a string since you're actually reducing tension. It's much easier to snap a string if you're going upward. That said, I can't help but feel like the one you said is wrong Zergio and calls for some re-tunings that are more extreme than they need to be. I'll post my tuning + chords soonish.

Zergio107 Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Sorry man..:embarrassed::embarrassed::embarrassed: When I used your tuning I was playing it with wrong chords (the same that i use for my tuning), and watching some live performances of coldplay I realized that the chords that i was using weren't the same than the chords that Chris was using, so I tried to play the correct Chris chords with my tuning and it sounds bad, then I tried with your tuning and it sounds excellent. Sorry for all the troubles that I did you. I NEVER MEANT TO CAUSE YOU TROUBLE I NEVER MEANT TO DO YOU WRONG AND AH, WELL IF I EVER CAUSED YOU TROUBLE OH, NO I NEVER MEANT TO DO YOU HARM.

Jin256 Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Well, guess theres good in everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MosesTheMarshmallow Posted January 8, 2011 Author Share Posted January 8, 2011 Ah that's an easy mistake to make. No worries jaja. :) Verse Chords: C# - 000000 (this is my favourite thing ever) E - 333300 D# - 222200 D - 111100 Chorus: A - 888800 E - 333300 F# - 555500 And that's all there is to it. BUT, to those attentive eyes out there (ahem, Zergio)...is can you tell if Chris is playing the A string? It sounds like it, but it looks like he may also be muting it so that the chords become 3x3300 for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ireentje Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 I dunno, I've always played Moses (the rhythm part at least) in EADGAe. Works fine and sounds like the version on Live 2003 & an older acoustic recording. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no mention of Moses in this thread. >_< That said, I don't know Moses particularly well but when I play it in standard it sounds fine. But you could be right about tuning the B string down since it does jive decently well with the song even with a capo on the 2nd fret as Chris plays it. I suppose I'll add that to my to do list since I love Moses, but I've tuned my guitar to GPASUYF tuning and I like the song too much to bring my guitar back to standard just yet.. Oh I just realized I'm Moses. Is that why you think we're talking about Moses? :laugh3: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jin256 Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Funny thing Moses, a month back i actually burst a string because i wanted to tune down to C on my High E string, so I think you need to be more careful than anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MosesTheMarshmallow Posted January 8, 2011 Author Share Posted January 8, 2011 Funny because that's the same thing that happened to me when I first got my guitar. Do you remember where the breaking point was? If it was near the tuner, you'd best take a scotch-brite pad or fine sandpaper and lightly sanding the tuning peg the next time you change the string. My problem was there was a tiny little fleck of paint/chrome/dust that was grinding into the string whenever I tuned, but once I sanded it I've had no problems. Actually, I have my guitar in GPASUYF tuning right now but am planning to leave it like that for a couple days since I never practise the song. Wish my guitar luck in getting back to standard tuning without exploding. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jin256 Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 hmm my tuner seem ok, better than my old one in a longshot. but i'm pretty sure things will be ok, but i'll check it when i get home. but was it just a speck of dust or was it sharp?

MosesTheMarshmallow Posted January 8, 2011 Author Share Posted January 8, 2011 Honestly I couldn't see very well what it was. It looked like the edge of the hole where the string goes through the tuner was a little bit pointy so that's the part I applied a green scotch-brite pad to; this was my EJ200 so the tuner was gold but having sanded it, I guess I nipped the whole top layer off and now the e string tuner is sort of silver and the edge in question is just a little bit rounded. On the other hand, there're other things that could probably be factors - being too rough with the tuners...that might just be my paranoia with it all...I always turn really really slowly. :p Or maybe the string just wasn't wound very well to begin with; I can imagine it's easy to break strings that have kinks <--this definitely happened with me because the e string that broke when the aforementioned happened to me was also the first time I had restrung a guitar, so I didn't do a great job of winding the string. Edit: this is what my tuner looked like before: notice the roughness on the hole and how it's not a perfect circle. Not to mention e strings are really skinny and easy to break. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jin256 Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 thanks for adding the pic, now i understand. just took a look at my guitar, and it looks fine for now, but it's working well now right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zergio107 Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 The chords are correct man, when Chris plays GPASUYF he doesn't uses his thumb to mute the A string, he uses his thumb to play in the E and A string. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MosesTheMarshmallow Posted January 9, 2011 Author Share Posted January 9, 2011 thanks for adding the pic, now i understand. just took a look at my guitar, and it looks fine for now, but it's working well now right? Yep my guitar has NOT exploded. :laugh3: Went to GPASUYF and then Shiver (thanks for that one Zergio ;)) and back. :lol: The chords are correct man, when Chris plays GPASUYF he doesn't uses his thumb to mute the A string, he uses his thumb to play in the E and A string. Oh I see what you did there. That makes sense because before that I had been using my thumb and then 3 fingers but that's kind of awkward. Using the thumb to get two strings works pretty well though. To do list.... :lol: -Everything's Not Lost -All Around the World Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jin256 Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Yeah awesome man, one thing to add just to help you out, on Don't Look Back in Anger (Early Acoustic), the chords in the beginning go C, C/B, Am, E, Fmaj7, G, C (quick chords Am G). Hope that wasn't a douchebag move haha, just saw on one of the messages you sent me a while back had some errors, so thought this could be some help.

MosesTheMarshmallow Posted January 10, 2011 Author Share Posted January 10, 2011 Jaja call me crazy, but I'm kind of touched that you would actually remember that. :p I looked back at what I wrote and I don't think they were errors so much as small differences that do not impede my playing the song successfully. C-G-Am-E-F-G (I only wrote up until there for whatever reason) vs C, C/B, Am, E, Fmaj7, G. -The way I play the first G chord, which isn't evident in what I wrote there, is 320003 as opposed to 320033 as you probably play the 2nd and 3rd G chords in the progression. Yes, Noel plays a C/B that I think is x20010 or something similar, BUT a C/B chord is actually a Gsus4 that has the bass note removed, so it's technically a partial G chord. If you listen to these versions, you can pretty clearly hear that during the C/B chord they play a G note in the bass, which is why I play it as 320010 or 320003. So in my opinion, C/B and G are interchangeable in this song.

But yeah in the end, we're all correct. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go listen to one of those acoustic takes, even better on there. Also, my take on Green Eyes.
