it'll never look anything closely to "acceptable" - don't do it

Just copied from Facebook: Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall and brand new track Major Minus are to be released on 7-inch, CD and digital bundle on 27 June - info/pre-order at http://cldp.ly/etplusmm great =) I think everyone who's looking here should rather go there ;) http://coldplaying.com/forum/showthread.php?t=77371

edit: just came to think of it, low to high means from lowest to highest string! not tune all up! the > and < below indicate whether to tune up or down so yes, this is the correct tuning: e>c# B<c# G>F D>C# A>G# E>C#

ya it's quite simple tune the guitar as that, low to high: C#-G#-C#-F-C#-C# then thumb always used on lowest C# string i'll note down the chords and their variations only; as we're musicians and learn by doing, it would be no use writing down everything, that's more work than necessary i guess... if you're not able to learn it by listening then, you're not supposed to play the song now and should go practice first :P C#|0000 these high C# strings may always sound open and may be hit unintentionally C#|0000--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- F...|-8-(10)-------7-(10)-(8)----------5-(7)------------------------ C#|-9-------------7---------------------5---------------------------- G#|---------------(0)------------------------------------------------ C#|-9-------------7---------------------5---------------------------- -----Bbm---------Ab--------------------Gb---------<<very basic chord names last chord is just all strings stroke open^^ if the chords for the rest are unclear: the low C# and G# strings are both fretted with the thumb (at least it's easy to play it that way) C#|-0---0---0---0------0---0---0 C#|-0---0---0---0------0---0---0 F...|-0---3---2---1------8---3---5 C#|-0---3---2---1------8---3---5 G#|-0---3---2---1------8---3---5 C#|-0---3---2---1------8---3---5 ----for the verses------for the chorus&bridge(=end here) easy one, right? =) enjoy (and c'mon, lead guitar hasn't changed)

rather the guitars, don't you think? d# and an arrow down, that fits the fix you tuning - it's guitars, believe me =D

how am i to know ? :P thanks ^^ well that's better, so we may hear some xylophones on the new album :D

MX already is a title... but maybe we haven't heard all of it yet? jup, seen that one, too! i quite like it, but it's from... eerm... november '09 i think? =/ yeah i voted yes for MM, i like it... but what does xylobrytes mean anyway?!

you know we leave out things like "jonnyboy" since he'd never do that on a record :) and btw i think it's "...climbing the steps..."

NO I DON'T WANNA SWALLOW SUCH A BITTER PILL ='((( ++++ LIIIIGHT A FIRE UP FROM A SPARK LIIIIGHT A FIRE FLAME IN MY HEART

Thank you A LOT !! this helps extremely... just see my notes above ^^

anyone else? nobody? pleeease? xD i mean just tell me what you think, even when your answer is just one word ("shit!!" , "awful", "lame"...) ... (or 3 words: "awesome!!! //irony off" :D )

July 1st? don't think so. July? maybe, would be great! maybe they'll finally release a single in july? then the album in... september? and early next year or maybe around christmas an EP, again with the stuff that didn't make it on the LP.

hm well rather not allowed to get them on tape... maybe they don't want to see any more good quality stuff online, i mean we have A LOT of new stuff just from Rock am Ring, the full concert as excellent audio and as good video! we would have had to wait ages for anything that good, but luckily we got it all from the 2nd show they did, pre-release to their album! ++ Chris did Singing in the Rain, which makes it one additional song compared to HJF :D ;D but sadly we don't have um.. chinese whatever... what's it? chinese princess? dunno, sry,... yeah we don't have that one yet properly

hm, it's not too accurate :D but well it's okay for a very first try.. please: tune the guitar correctly next time? xD slightly out of tune ...

there is one already? haha :D thanks anyway =D

well i'm farily sure it says "You got one eye..." xD slow down the track and listen closely

oh thank you =D you know, when you think it is good, how would you tell what's bad about it? :D maybe what one could improve xD ok chords, well, easy, i just put a capo on 7th fret, chords are Am7 (open!) and you release the fingers to open strings from time to time :D can't explain there, it's a thing you gotta hear. same with Em (open) which is Em7 at times (randomly^^). then we have a change between F (i'd play it with my thumb on low e and an open high e, but that is not necessary) and Dm (open). 4 chords only, you'll get the hang of it ;) //whoops, you said you haven't been playing for so long... but you know the normal open Am, Em and Dm chords, right? and an F may be played as a barré here, too.... but it would help knowing for how long you played so i can give you enough information and not just this raw sketch of it

i posted this over in the respective MM thread, but it fits in here, too: i'd like to share a recording with you... an acoustic version (based on "my" lyrics though), not even sure if i got all chords right but it sounded good to me. i hurriedly did it in twice the time the record plays (2 trys :D ). i would want to hear constructive criticism, it's ok though if you just tell me your point of view... i believe that i cannot sing, my voice is awful, but there are people that say i can... so hear for yourselves... the link:

hm dunno... that's what my ears clearly tell me! at least chirs is putting some syllables (wtf?! hey, i'm really tryin' to do my best to sound english here, but dude, i'm sure i misspelled that one :D you got the gist of this word-accident) inbetween SO and BE :thinking:

i tried it normal and on super slowmotion :D You got one eye watching you One eye on what you do Sorta be careful who it is you're talking to You got one eye watching you One eye on what you do Sorta be careful what it is you're tryin'to do And be careful with the ones who'll walk at you [unsure, but it sounds well and makes sense] And be careful when you're walking into view Ooh-ooh-oooh Ooh-ooh-oooh-oooh Got one eye on the road and one on you Ooh-ooh-oooh Ooh-ooh-oooh-oooh Got one eye on the road and one on you You got one eye watching you And one eye on what you do Sorta be careful 'cause nothing they is true [sure thing there!] But d-d-don't believe a word It's just us against the world And we just gotta turn to the herd I hear those crocodiles ticking 'round the world I hear those crocodiles ticking, you go ticking 'round the world Ooh-ooh-oooh Ooh-ooh-oooh-oooh Got one eye on the road and one on you Ooh-ooh-oooh Ooh-ooh-oooh-oooh Got one eye on the road and hey! Here I'm climbing the steps I got my left side by you on the left Tryin' too much Ooh-ooh-oooh Ooh-ooh-oooh-oooh Got one eye on the road and one on you Ooh-ooh-oooh Ooh-ooh-oooh-oooh Got one eye on the road and one on you

hmmmmm.... X&Y era was the only time he didn't bring it up on stage, was it not? ;D he'd always use it for don't panic, see the glastonbury festivals (except 05), arobtth live 2003 DVD, chinese sleep chant + gpasuyf recently during viva tours and now again =D i really like the guitar, has an awesome look and feel to it, but i personally own a thinline =)

no sorry, he's sliding a lot, not hammering... and there is no doubeling of notes, he's playing some off-beat things, some changes quicker, that's why it sounds different. i play it like that: e-----------6--------------------6------------6------6--------------6----------6------------ B----4s6--------6-----3s4----------4s3--------3-----------3-------------3-------3-- e--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- B----------3--------3-----------3--------------------------3-------------3-----------3------------ G--3h5------3h5-------3h5-------5----3---------3h5---------3h5--------3h5-------5-----3- D-----------------------------------------------5--------------------------------------------------- i'm on the rest... not thaaat hard, all new songs are ok, but they want to be tabbed after all :D

i put up download links to all the songs and well, statistics prove that most of the people (around a hundred so far) have chosen to get HLH, about 50 got all 18 songs and generally the new songs are wanted more than the old known tunes!

my upload just crashed =( it'll take so much time, darn, but i'm on it....
