spatchyhd Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Guys, I seriously need your help. I am to perform next week and someone has requested Coldplay's cover of Billie Jean. I have scoured the net looking for Will's rhythm guitar part looking for some help, but to no avail have I found anything. I am calling upon my friends here on Coldplaying to see if you guys can help me out. I would sincerely appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie17 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 i have a vauge memory of him doing a short cover of billie jean on howard stern. i'd check that out. it was on piano. probably not what you're talking about. guess they did that live? it's likely the bass line you need to work out. Check this out like five minutes in. Damn. wrong video. it's here somewhere.

Charlie17 Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 it's there at 3:50. Any luck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MosesTheMarshmallow Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 This is not exactly what Will does, but it DOES sound good and if you have someone playing the bassline, you are set. [in fact, this is exactly how I play it] Let me know if there are questions..I threw it together in 5 minutes just now. Billie Jean – Michael Jackson (Coldplay version) Verses: [Gm – Am/G – Bb/G – Am/G] x2 [Cm – Cm – Cm - Cm] [Gm – Am/G – Bb/G – Am/G] Before the second chorus, you do the [Cm] and following [Gm] line an extra time. Each chord is: Gm – xxx333 Am/G – xxx555 Bb/G – xxx766 Cm – x35543 Chorus [Eb – Gm – Eb – Gm] [Eb – Gm – Eb – Dsus4 (half length)- D (half length)] Eb – x6888x Gm – 355333 Dsus4 – xx233, D – xx232 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
