bohs man

Thats Fix You verse and G#maj is the same as A ;)

Folks i dont want to come across as arrogant or cocky because im not,but i would like people to try and play it the way i have said before they start passing judgement on it,I always remember wayching GPASUYF live on MTV in Manchester in 2002 it was the first time i saw it live and i couldnt believe how good it was and this how it became my favourite song and i always wanted to learn how to play it,so i bought the AROBTTH chord book to learn but i tried the way it sayed and it is a close replication but its not the exact way because i knew from seeing Chris play it that the first chords he plays he just plays all the strings open,and if you dont believe me watch the DVD and change the angle to the 4 small screens and watch Chris and you will see!! I have absolutely no reason to lie about what im saying i just wanted to help others because they were saying that the tabs they saw were wrong which is why i posted it,but instead all i got is grief from people who havent even tried it thats what annoys me. EDIT - another example that the book is wrong is Warning Sign,the book gives a tuning that i think is the same as Jonnys guitar at the end of The Scientist,anyway the real way to play it is tune your 1st string down to D again and a capo on the third fret,and if you dont believe me then watch the video of it from Glastonbury 2005 and you will soon see that i am right and not everything in the book is right. Thanks for listening. Bohs Man.

LOL I love the Irony in this post "I dont want any noobs posting after me" hahahahah says the man with just over 20 posts and who only joined a month ago!!!! hahah fucking brilliant sir!!

LOL are you some sort of jackass or can you not read??? obviously you did not read my first post in which i mentioned i have the AROBTTH Chord Book!!! and i told you its WRONG!!! and to prove it to you that says for the first chord you have to play you have to put your fingers on strings which simply isnt true because anyone who has seen Coldplay live or even watched the Live2003 DVD knows that when Chris strums the 1st chord he is playing all the strings OPEN!!! which means he is not fretting any of them,so go ahead and do your scan of the book which i already i have and which i already know is wrong but then again i bet you never even tried to play it the way i said or else you dont know how to tune a guitar!!

well the very first song is In My Place,and Green Eyes to play like the original recording you have to tune your first string down to D and put a capo on the 2nd fret (however it still wont be in perfect tune with the album version because the album version is a little pitch higher but its basically capo 2nd fret with that tuning) the chords with respect to the capo are G*(320000) Dsus2/F#(2xx0230) Am (x02210) they are all the verse chords i could go into detail a bit more but im too lazy but if you can get that you should be able to find the rest yourself.TRUST ME,I have the Official chord book too and its wrong about Green Eyes and GPASUYF acoustic guitar tuning is wrong as well.

Have you even tuned the guitar and tried to play it??? obviously not im telling you, I guarantee you this is 100% right,if that tuning and chords isnt right well then i will never post on this forum again i thats how sure I am.Bare in mind that your 6th string should be tuned the lowest and every string after that should be of a higher pitch.

all the tabs posted here are wrong!!! this is in fact the proper tuning 6 C# 5 G# 4 C# 3 F 2 G# 1 C# I wont do a tab because you can figure it out yourself!! but the chords you use are in this order (i dont know what they are called so i will call them 1-4) x=mute the string!! 1 (000000) 2 (3x3300) 3 (2x2200) 4 (1x1100) this is the way Chris plays it you have to play the 6th string notes with your thumb and mute the 5th string with it also.Trust me this 100% right ive bought the official tab book and its WRONG!! These are the only chords used throughout the verse. then there are only 2 other chords left (number 2 from above is used in the chorus as well) for the chorus which i will refer to as 5 and 6 5 (8x8800) 2 (3x3300) 6 (5x5500) play in this order for the chorus ie 5,2,6. and thats it really its easy once you get the tuning and strumming right its my favourite Coldplay song so i took the time to learn it properly. Hope this helps!! Bohs Man.

well i dont know if you would call her a "Celebrity" but i met the president of Ireland,Mary McCleese in Aras an Uchtaráin (her house.equivelent of Downing Street) the reason how i got to meet her is not so fortunate however.When i was 11 i was singing in the choir in my church for a First Communion service,some guy had an ongoing feud with someone in Church (it was the guy grandsons Communion) anyway this guy burst into the church and shot him,it was a traumatic experience for everyone involved let me tell you as most of the people there were kids.A few weeks after that the President invited everyone who was there on the day to meet her.Different circumstances i know but i thought id just share that. Thanks for listening. Bohs Man.

Was this during Coldplay's set at Slane or U2's?? and if so which U2 song??

I thought id give this thread a good ol bump because i think there are a few more Irish members now including me because this thread was created before Bohs Man existed!! I could try and speak Irish but i would only embarrass myself having said that most of you probably wouldnt understand it anyway seeing as only a minority of people in Ireland speak Irish anyway!! Thanks for listening. Bohs Man.

Fucking hell!! how good is that?? I was thinking while listening to it on the radio about all the people from this forum at it and i knew they would be involved in it somehow!! lol actually listening to it on the radio made me sad and kinda jealous because it remined me of almost a year ago now (9 days) to when I first seen em (The best day of my life) and it just brought back soo many good memories and i just really felt like i wanted to be there because we dont know when we'll get a chance to see em again.So to all that went i hope you enjoyed it as im sure you did and count yourselves lucky coz you never know when you'll get a chance to see em again!! Thanks for listening. Bohs Man.

ive watched this and tried to tab it a little,he plays everything in the key of D tuning - DADGBE , when he plays The Scientist he plays Bm,G*,D *(you cant play a G the normal way because youve tuned your 6th string to D) now obviously he's not just playing these chords he's picking at the same time and he also has a pick thingy on his thumb if you watch it again.If i get the time ill try and get as good a tab as possible but it will take a long time! Also i havent forgot about the What If bass tab ill do my best to try and get it up soon,im just very busy at the moment looking for a job and what not. Thanks for listening. Bohs Man.

well im gonna hit the hay now so goodnight to ya!! also this is spamming at its finest!! lol

lol true!

LOL you are cracking me up!!! maybe we are being a bit harsh though?

Spot on i couldnt have put it better myself the word i would use would be "talentless" or fucking shit! lol

jesus knock the caps off!!! maybe if i talk like you it might help,Yo nigga ya aint impressin anyone wit dat shit so knock da caps off!

trust me,everyone thinks he's great coz he got shot 9 times or whatever but anyone decent with the gun and it would have only taking one bullet and then i renamed Coldplay's 2nd album after at "A rush of lead to 50 cents head" sorry folks but i just hate the bastard not this guy posting but the real 50 cent.

honestly no!! simple as! lol

My God what sort of a gobshite are you?? No prophanity?? youve mentioned the word shit about 14 times and in your own signature you have "nigga's" so ssssshhhh little baby ok quieten down now ok.

what the fuck is all that about??

well i dont post many pics of myself on here and you will see why when you see this one,this picture was taken early in the morning after a late night before and i still have the feel good factor from the night before evident for all to see!! lol Thanks. Bohs Man. EDIT-I didnt think it was gonna be this big!!! lol plus my 600th post woohoo!!

Perhaps the lines in Twisted Logic reflect this also?? "You'll go backwards and then you'll go forwards" ??

Piano - The Scientist,Speed Of Sound,Clocks,Fix You,Trouble,Politik,Life Is For Living Guitar - Every song rythym and lead except for I Bloom Blaum because its extremely hard finger picking!!! Ive been playing along with Coldplay songs for the last 4 years so id be disappointed if I couldnt play em all!! Bass - Every song too but its a lot easier to play bass than the guitar in songs like Careful Where You Stand or Jonny's Lead on Shiver. Thanks for listening. Bohs Man.
