Hey guys. Here's a cover i recently did of Help is Round the Corner. Tuning for the guitar is (from low to high)

Db-Ab-Db-Gb-Db-F. I did this version down a semitone so it was C-G-C-F-C-E. If anyone wants any help with the chords i can post them. Actually, here they are.

 

Verse. (low string to high) (Db maj)0-0-0-2-0-0 to (Db6) 0-0-4-4-0-0 transition chord to chorus- 4-0-4-4-0-0

 

Chorus Gbmaj7 5-5-5-4-0-0 to Eb9 2-2-2-1-0-0 and the additional chord is Ab6add11 7-7-7-6-0-0

 

Here's what it looks like. Cheers, Charlie

Good!

I like it :)

Good stuff!

Congrats bro! Sounds great!

Nice, thanks for sharing

yeah thanks. Chris Martin came up with some ingenious tunings in the parachutes days. i've always been curious if someone in particular showed him or if he just experimented in that realm on his own. that yellow tuning, man...it's gorgeous.

I used to play with a toy/"learning" guitar (because it's easier if your hands are smaller). But anyway you get lots of accidental (and cool) effects with a toy instrument. But you have to clamp it to keep it in tune. Maybe Chris Martin has done it before too.:P

how would a person find a "toy" instrument. oh, btw, i think i have a cool groove worked out you might like for your song

i love your cover and it sounds like the others i have found online. I just cant help but think that one of the strings is still tuned differently or something, when you listen to the recording it sounds like... i dont know the song seems 'brighter' than the Db open tuning that most people use. I agree with the Db for the first string, you can hear him hit it in the song. And the B + E strings sound accurate at Db and F...

 

Maybe its just the way it was recorded, and the guitar he was using couldve altered sound. I find the covers deeper and a little more bassy than the guitar in the song. Makes me uneasy because i wish i could get a slightly closer sound. But it is pretty dam close.
