Chris does play it himself for the first four bars or so, then he just loops what he played and it goes on. I don't see what the problem is, its just the same riff over and over again for most of the song.

I'm psyched to hear some new songs (hopefully) with the release of the LIJ single. Perhaps Glass of Water and Famous Old Painters?

For some reason I get Rolling Stone for free. I never actually wanted it but I think it was some sort of deal with tickets I bought once. Anyway to the point, I got the Guitar songs one this week, maybe Tuesday if I'm not mistaken, so Coldplay would be the third week in June if they are next!

Bye bye LIT, we hardly knew ye LIT - Escapist + LIT 0 Cemeteries 16 Lost! 7 42 14 LIJ 10 ROL 6 Yes 13 CSC 10 VLV 10 VH 10 SS 13 DAAHF 13 Escapist 7

And in the end we lie awake and we dream of making our escape

From Chris' mouth 'Phil is the 5th member' DAAHF on now

Pure speculation here but I believe we've heard them already as Lost? and LIJ Acoustic

Don't think its going to be any songs we haven't heard, but interview will be worth it i'm sure

I love that those comments Chris made about this one being 'pianoless' were just one of his overexcited outpourings. Great album. Honestly I don't think anything can top AROBTTH but this one is becoming my second favorite. Only thing I can say negative is that I do sort of miss the old, well, happier Coldplay. You can, well I at least I can, feel some bad emotions being vented on this one. LIT 8.0 COL 8.5 Lost! 8.0 42 8.0 LIJ 9.0 ROL 9.0 Yes 8.0 CSC 8.0 Viva 10.0 VH 9.0 SS 10.0 DAAHF 10.0 Escapist 10.0 It hasn't topped The Scientist, but I honestly don't think that song can ever be bested for me. Overall 9/10

Sounds like guy says "Sounds a bit fucked" at the beginning of Strawberry Swing, could be wrong but I think its the first time Coldplay have cursed on an album.

I'm sorry, I'm going to have to make a new thread every time I have an idea! Apologies also for the fact that I'm typing these tabs directly into the post. I can't seem to find (read 'pay for') a decent tabbing program that works with mac. Here goes: Strawberry Swing 1st time Coldplay curses (Guy seems to say "its a bit fucked") Tuned 1/2 step down, or tone for you Brits and Europeans.

Guy looks so tired, er, or just high :lol:

Thats awesome, did he by chance compensate your kindness with an early copy of VLV? :)

Not a great performance in the least. The mix was a bit lacking, especially in the strings, and Chris was, erm, off-key. Perhaps trying to put a bit too much energy into a more retrained song. Redeemed maybe by the other boys' singing.

Very nice, I myself have the singles from the boxed set on my walls.

Yes, remove the wig and Will is lady liberty.

Guitar starts after the line "Sweep the streets I used to own" doesn't sound much like a conventional one, but its there.

I feel you, if I found out any of them were Arsenal supporters I don't know what I'd do. :shocked2:

From this month's GQ cover story on Gwyneth, "There's an auntie coming for lunch, whom Martin will accompany to White Hart Lane to watch Tottenham beat West Ham 4-0. "Tottenham" (Gwyneth) says, "that's Spurs, right?"" Maybe I'm a bit too excited about two of my favorite things being mentioned in the same sentence, but I read Jonny's a big fan somewhere. The article is a decent read, what with the Simon Pegg and Apple story thats been mentioned before, and its always funny to see a fellow American talking about football.

So here's my best shot. It sounds like Eb major, the melody is something like F G D C | Bb Eb C Bb | Bb C Bb G | F G F Eb | Jonny's part in the verse part is something along these lines E|-15-11~----------------------------------------------------- B|------------(13)--15--11------11-11----------------------- G|------------------------12h13-13-13p12--10/12/10-8-- D|--------------------------------------------------------------- A|--------------------------------------------------------------- E|--------------------------------------------------------------- I know most of the second movement is based on an Eb major chord with a variation of the Bb note to a B natural.

This took me all of five minutes to come up with so don't expect completeness or accuracy. :D

9th row seats to Coldplay at the Philadelphia show this summer. Seeing them twice and Radiohead twice this summer. First time for both of them. Absolutely stoked.

Sounds cool, thanks!

I'm very much a bum with these things but I'll try and get this started.. Life In Technicolor Guy (Melody instrument) Tabbed for guitar E|---------------------------5-5----| B|--------5-5--------------------5-| G|---6---------------6-------------| D|-7---7-------7-7----7----------| A|---------------------------------| E|---------------------------------| Guy 2(!!!) Bass The final note here is a bit off tempo but if you listen its not hard to get. Begins with an A as it fades in. G|-------------| D|-------------| A|-------------| E|-0-2-5-7---| Play twice then hold A until the melody instrument comes in. Just the intro I'll try and work out the rest later
