Yes the tunings match except for swallowed in the sea but it will sound the same based on the transcription. Tell me how it is. I've done more in depth playing and matching it with the recordings and it is not trusty half of the time. The songs that are bad for me, white shadows, square one, swallowed in the sea, twisted logic.

Ok, the book is here, X&Y [TAB] version from wise publications / BMG Group. I was listening to every song on the album while following the notes, it sounds very accurate to me.

Here are the guitar tunings in case somebody is interested:

square one: E A D G C D#

What if: standard

White shadows: E A D G B D#

Fix You: Down 1 semitone

Talk: Standard

X&Y: standard

Speed of sound: standard

A message: F Bb Eb Ab Ab Db (looks insane enough to be accurate)

Low: standard

Hardest part: capo 3, standard

Swallowed in the sea: Down 1 semitone

Twisted logic: down 1 semitone

'Til Kingdom Come: C A C G B C.

Ok, I just finished listening to the whole album with the book in hand. I only have 2 complaints:

1.- swallowed in the sea is also half step down, and it is missing the electric guitar for the chorus, kind of weird.

2.- twisted logic is missing some notes played in the first verse, but nothing too serious, they are in the background.

Sure, oh btw, I found on scribd a version of the Book (X&Y) and it has swallowed in the sea tunes to E A D G B D#, and both electric and acoustic guitars. It's very weird how there are three different versions, also that book handles the number of guitars and each individual tuning differently, for example, square one has all guitars tuned the same on mine, but on the scribd version there are 3 but two are standard tuning.

Ok, now speaking of effects:

Square one: 125 bpm, reverb, echo, delays (probably dotted eight), distortion.

What if: 70 bpm, distortion,

White shadows: 128 bpm, distortion, echo,

Fix you: 69 bpm, distortion, echo

Talk: 120 bpm, delay, distortion,

X&Y: 77 bpm, slider, distortion, echo

Speed of sound: 124 bpm, chorus, distortion, echo.

A message: 117 bpm, distortion, echo.

Low: 132 bpm, distortion, echo

Hardest part: 124 bpm, distortion, echo, and I believe some tremolo.

Swallowed in the sea: 72 bpm, distortion, delay.

Twisted logic: 54 bpm, distortion, slide.

Til kingdom come: 115 bpm

I thought that was the book i was getting, I bought it because the scan quality is very poor, but this one is slightly different than that one. For example, if you go to "Talk" it has a guitar tuned half step down, which plays in the verse. My book has all guitars tuned to standard and those chords played just don't exist. It's good to have both versions though, and the one that I bought was a steal, 3€.
