Local Store in Austria...[ATTACH type=full" alt="9710]9710[/ATTACH]

It is like a Book very cool ...

Where in Vienna ?

Seems the guys will be doing a live session for Jo Whiley next Thursday. She played Daddy and mentioned it after the song!

I was just (pre)ordering the CD on Amazon today but it looks like it'll arrive in about a week, ugh...

In case you ordered there with premium shipping it's more likely that you'll get the album on Friday.

Unfortunately I ordered with standard shipping... and realized it too late.

I ordered at the official Coldplay store...

They'll perform on BBC? Will they do a cover song too, just like other artists usually do?

The fact that Champion of the World is inspired by Scott Hutchison (Owl John/Frightened Rabbit) fills me with so many emotions. A beautiful track and so nice to see a nod to one of the best songwriters the UK has produced. Rest easy, Scott.

This probably means the chord progressions on guitar and the capo is set on 5th fret.

DADGAD is an alternative guitar tuning, with the strings tuned to DADGAD instead of EADGBE :)

Coldplay is making it real difficult to wait until Friday to listen to the full album. Thank goodness for long hours at work? :joy:

I’m assuming this is the same session as the one Chris mention during his first interview with Annie Mac?

how do you know? the SNL performances?

 

Yes, only from the SNL performances and my best judgment on backing tracks based on my musical knowledge. I'm fairly certain though - if you listen to the parts in EL, you can hear how everything that sounds like strings is just a pitch-shifted delay effect on Jonny's guitar.

 

You mean „dadgad capo 5“ i dont know what does That mean

 

As others have pointed out, it refers to the guitar tuning for Chris's guitar. Change the normal EADGBe strings to the notes mentioned there. Capo is that little thing that you put on the guitar to change where the "0th" or baseline fret is. So a 5th fret capo raises the tuning by 5 semitones, so DADGAD with a capo on 5 becomes GDGCDG, if I did the math right.

 

The cool thing about it is that it sort of gives accessibility to the songwriting process because we can better understand how Chris wrote some of these songs. If you notice at the beginning of the Orphans music video, you can hear Chris say "Capo 5, B string down a tone" because the tuning on that song is capo on 5th, strings as EADGAE (instead of EADGBE).

Heads up on BBC breakfast show interview

I feel like it keeps getting longer and longer :joy:

Initials of the family members of the band.

It’s been customary since either VLV or Ghost Stories.

The interesting thing are que question marks (?). Does that mean several band members are currently expecting children?

Also, the “O”s are hard to decipher.

^ Didn't Guy just have a son? Maybe they hadn't had a name picked out yet when the booklets went to print

The album is out on Spotify!
