I tabbed the following songs after failing to find accurate versions online. Figured if I wanted to learn how to play them surely other people would as well. So here they are.

They are all what Chris plays live and are pretty accurate. However if you notice anything wrong please don't hesitate to correct me. Enjoy!

Looks good, I will give it a try later tonight and report back! :D

Coldplaykb! Fucking love your tutorials thank you man! keep it up!

Hey thanks! Keep an eye out. I've got more coming very soon!

yes! thank you so much. I learned all these songs from your tutorials and am working on a piano based hip-hop album with help from what you've taught me. truly appreciate it man!

There's something about Chris Martin's songwriting, the way he plays things, its just so amazing and to me the most fun to play.

That's awesome! Please post when finished so we can hear it! And I agree. His chord structures are interesting and sometimes challenging but so fun to play once you master it. Whenever I see a guitar tab of a song, and it has regular cord structures, I know that's not the correct way to play it lol.

Yeah, I am not sure who else in music produces songs that evoke as much emotion on the piano as he does. Any ideas?

 

I for sure will. I really want you to hear it when we finish it, I am curious to know what you may think. Do you mind dming me your email so I can send you songs when we finish? Thanks

Done! :)

Hi!! About Hymn For Weekend, I think tuning it should tune 1st down to D. So, at the Chorus the first chord will be perfectly G, and that G note will be same as the first vocal note. And for the second vocal note, you move from 5th frets to 4th fret to match the note. I think it's actually true haha. But thanks for Ink so much. :)

Hm, that makes a lot of sense. I'll check it out when I get the chance and then add it in along with the chord changes. Thanks! :)
