getting closer

thats fine mate, its just that 20 seconds, i can get a few notes but not all of them, at least not enough to string it into something cohesive

At the end of clocks here [ame=http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=_WMoGHv0aW8]YouTube - Coldplay Live in Toronto 2006 - Clocks[/ame] At the end, 5:36, Chris begins playing some notes then goes back to the clocks riff, question is, what notes is he playing? Ive had a stab at working them out by ear but its proving a tad challenging Any help would be grand

really got the hang of it now :D, thanks guys, didnt take nearly as long as i thought it would

not that im aware no, there is a play guitar with coldplay thought, what you could do is find mp3 files for "acoustic" versions of their songs and play drums along to those, some versions will doesnt play, he plays guitar

Nice one, ill have a gander

Whats finale?

Give me a second and ill tab it out in a format i use, may need about half hour though

Exactly what i wanted to hear, ill persists, cheers

sorry if the B stayed on 11, wont let me edit the post

Too true, the higher up the frets the harder it gets i find, i can use my thumb most of the time lower down, bit painful because im not used to it but other than that its fine. I think if the G stayed on 11 id be fine but that it alternates with 12 really does me over Oh and shiver is a great song to play :)

currently im working on shiver, all the other chords are fine but the one which is 9-----9 0-----0 11--12 9-----9 0-----0 0-----0 Is a killer, not impossible but it hurts the thumb so The only reason i ask is, whereas its understandable with chords that it takes time, your thumb doesnt grow, at least not at my age, so im wondering whethere there is a "you can or you cant" factor to it thanks for the reply

Like Chris does, ive been avoiding it in certain situations, especially on higher frets because it hurts to make those chords Question, does it get easier? Ive only really started trying the last few days. Or should i just use the workarounds ive been using, which dont sound as clean but are easier to maintain? I ask this because i know my thumb wont grow anymore :laugh3:

Haha no chance, nor would i want to, i do it because it makes me happy, honestly if i could afford lessons id take them but i cant and for the forseeable future i wont be able to so i do resent the fact that i cant learn the piano no my own, i work very hard

the book i learned from is piano for dummies btw if anyone was interested, good book

i cant afford piano lessons, or a piano, i use the university one and started learning on my own, been learning for 2 months now using a piano book and learning coldplay songs, can play pretty much all of robtth, vlv and parachutes spot on, save a few which are clearly either not right or dont sound right on the sheets (im looking at you green eyes). I was told when a member of the music society overheard me playing that i was a "natural" so i kind of resent people saying i cant learn the piano this way, i can read music, my timing is fine (i do have a metronome from my guitar tuner i use) in terms of sight reading im getting better and have made alot of progress Just enjoy playing mate, do it for the joy of doing it

just took a look at one, thanks for th ehelp

cheers

any chance of a tab for chris, thanks for this!

had a search and cant see it, found johnnys part on ultimate guitar, at least part of it, cant find Chris' yet but ill keep searching

Great mate, did you do it by ear or a sheet? If you had a sheet perchance to share?

i was thinking about getting an electric guitar today, Gibson les paul special 2, around £114 tempting God i wish i was a millionaire
