Chris had a Martin OM15CE.

I play my Gibson Hummingbird :D

Look at something from Yamaha. I have a FG720 that cost about 400 dollars. The sound is great, and the playability too.

I started out finding songs i like that weren't too hard to play, and then just kept on going. Never stopped really :P

Check out Kapone's tabs. It's in there somewhere

"The truth is, as i learned, you can never really learn to play the piano, or any instrument well by playing songs you enjoy or want to play" This is the most stupid thing i have heard in a long time. They way i learned to play guitar was by playing music i enjoy listening to. Why shouldn't you do that? This is what kept me going while my fingers were hurting.

thanks! might do that

Me playing my favourite song :rolleyes: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-kToiql_og]YouTube - Coldplay - Yellow Electric guitar cover[/ame]

I so agree with you! It was the first thing i thought when i heard PM. Now i only hear half of it, because the song takes a radical turn in the middle. It could have been the best thing since parachutes, if the song had just continued it's natural progression.

Just to be a bitch: The sampling frequency of 48kHz means that they get all the information between 0 and 24kHz. This is because you need a sampling freq that is twice the bandwith of the signal to be able to recreate it lossless back to an analog signal. This also implies that you have an infinite number of steps to represent the amplitude, which is not the case. That is where the loss comes in, as quantization error (noise). There is also a matter of coding/compression that makes those "pixelations" you speak of. The ear cannot percieve much above 20kHz, so there is practically nothing to gain by having a higher sampling frequency than 48kHz

Probably gonna get smacked for this, but i would sure would have traded my VLV concert for this one.

He has alot of complex rack-effects. Probably some delay/modulation that cuts about all the dry mix, and only sends out the wet mix. That may be why you don't hear the defined strumming.

Guitar : Standard american telecaster Amp : Blackheart little giant 5w Effects : MXR Micro-amp, Proco-RAT and Boss RV-5

I love the sound of my standard tele too. It's just a matter of finding the right combination of guitar/amp/effects. Here's a vid of me playing around with everything's not lost: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KijmnEme9lc]YouTube - Coldplay - Everything's Not Lost cover (electric guitar) - Parachutes[/ame]

The twangy sound is a combo of the pickup placement and the resonance of the guitar. You could probably replicate it to some degree, but a Strat will never sound like a tele and vice versa. And that's a great thing really :P

The Telecaster has a more "twangy sound" from it's bridge pickup. The telecaster only has two pickups, while the strat has three. Now i'm talking about the standard models. There are several varieties of the two models, and especially the telecaster. The thinline and deluxe has double humbuckers to complement the standard version, who has double singlecoils. It's all about taste and use.

Sick intro on this version of spies. Wish i could turn back time.. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGankLCG2jM&feature=channel]YouTube - coldplay launching parachutes part 1[/ame] This is a series of videos from the lauch of parachutes never televised. Johnny is using his JD-telecaster, and Chris is using his old takamine acoustic

Found a vid of chris using the one i posted earlier [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCJGVmBd2ng]YouTube - coldplay performing an intimate set back in 2002/3 part 1[/ame] btw: great intro on this version of "don't panic"

By saying that PM is better than VLV i was just trying to get some reactions really :P. But i still think that (EP's aside) VLV rank the lowest. But that is just because i love the old coldplay so much. And i don't mean that VLV is a bad album. It's good, just different.

VLV is NOT their best album... I would definately place it at the bottom of the ranking. Prospekts march has some of that old coldplay feeling. Especially the first half of PM(the song).. The EP is great. Exceedes VLV by far IMO.

Anyone tabbet out the full version of Prospekt's march? Or do i have to do it myself? :P

Gretsch makes beautiful guitars with great sound, that's for sure. But i would get a Gibson ES-335.. :cool: A pelham blue one with 70's perloid inlays. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5OEB7_EQKU]YouTube - Lifehouse - Blind (Live Version)[/ame]

If only one fret is buzzing, it's not coming from the peg at the bottom. The 8th fret is either too low, or the 9th fret is too high. You could try to adjust the trussrod so the neck gets more relief, or you could heighten the saddle of your B-string.

Strings breaking a is common thing. And the shop had most likely never changed them since they got it from the factory... old crappy strings ---> SNAP

It's VERY unusuall that guitar come with built in effects. The only guitar i can think of is Matt Bellamy's custom "Mattocaster" :P. It has a built in z-vex fuzz factory, and one of the models have a built in korg kaosspad. All electric guitars sound like acoustic guitars if you play it through an amp that doesn't distort the signal. To get the distortioned electric sound you either need a box, or a tubeamp to crank :cool:. Guitars with humbucking pick-ups sound more "distortiony" than a single-coil pick-uped guitar.
