Official Guitar Tunings for Mylo Xyloto

Featured Replies

From Hal Leonard:

 

(Keep in mind they give you the chords for standard tuning, not the chords for the way Chris plays)

 

"This table shows the guitar tunings supplied by Chris Martin to show how Coldplay perform these songs."

 

Hurts Like Heaven:

EBEG#BE (Capo 6)

 

Charlie Brown:

EADGAD (Capo 4)

 

Us Against the World:

EADF#AE (Capo 3)

 

Every Teardrop is a Waterfall:

DADGAE

 

Major Minus:

EADGBE (Capo 10)

 

Princess of China:

EADGBE (Capo 10)

 

UFO:

CGDGBD (Capo 2)

 

Up With the Birds:

EADGBD (Capo 7)

It`s not actually the true info... because:

 

-not all of the guitars are tuned like that (usually only one guitar, because sometimes in the recording there are more than one used, overdubs and stuff like that)

 

*Charlie Brown - EADGAD (you have to tune down a semitone to match the original recording)

 

*Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall - standard (if you wanna play keyboard parts using guitar then put a capo on 2nd fret)

 

*Major Minus - EADGGB (no capo!!!)

 

*Princess of China - standard, no capo)

THE TUNINGS IN THE REST OF THE SONGS ARE CORRECT

I'm pretty sure that there is no capo on major minus and for charlie brown you have to tune it down a semitone - and THAT is the way chris plays it. (Compare with live videos)

now where can i find the chords for these songs

^I would like to know as well. I have been trying to learn Chris' chords on Charlie Brown for months.

Major Minus is not capoed. I'm very positive the song is tuned down on Chris' guitar.

Major Minus isn't capo-ed yes, this might've been the tunings for the studio version in my opinion.

Tuning is in the video :)

Eb A D G Bb D

 

Just follow the hands, its pretty straight forward!

Chris is right about UFO but the studio version doesn't have a capo on the 2nd fret

  • 3 years later...

What the heck? Who came up with these tunings? Charlie Brown, Major Minus and POC are all incorrect. There's also UFO, there's no way he's using a capo on the 7th fret. Can't you hear it?
