Perfect yet again, dunno how the hell you manage to stretch your thumb to the tenth fret and still let the high E ring, maybe I just have small hands :(

Nice, being trying to work this out for a while but it's pretty weird, is it in EABGBD#?

Yeah it is C# sorry, same for violet hill. And that chord is right, I must have wrote it down wrong.

I LOVE marmite.

Nice, subbed. Are playing along with the MTV acoustic vid, or do you sound identical to Chris? :P What model is your tak? Sounds sweet.

Sure thang. Watch this for reference, it's the same on the CD. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCyoROkqZRw]Chris Martin Life In Technicolor ii 1/29 - YouTube[/ame] Tuning: E A D G C# C# Verse: 0 0 2 4 4 2 0 0 11 12 12 10 0 0 6 7 7 5 transition chord (not required, just sounds nice, you can just here it in the video where the bass note changes. 0 0 6 6 7 4 end of verse (oh baby its a violent world) 0 0 1 2 2 0 Chorus 0 0 2 4 4 2 0 0 11 12 12 10 0 0 9 11 11 9 i can here the sirens sound 0 0 6 7 7 5 0 0 6 6 7 4 0 0 2 4 4 2 now my feet wont touch 0 0 1 2 2 0

No worries, just corrected the violet hill one, I mixed up the architechtured bit. Not sure if these have been posted before but I've found perfect tabs for "Now My Feet Won't Touch The Ground" and "Us Against The World". I'll do life in technicolour II if anyone wants it, it's EADGCC, same as violet hill and the chord shapes are exactly the same, just Am shape mostly moved around the neck.

Here's my vid for Major Minus. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZH-ikuz41g0]Coldplay - Major Minus (Acoustic Lesson) - YouTube[/ame]

Violet Hill Tuning: E A D G C# C# (Thumb bass notes) or C#A D G C# C# and play the low C# as a drone, first is what Chris does. Chord 1 0 0 9 11 11 9 Chord 2 0 0 8 9 9 7 Chord 3 0 0 6 6 7 5 Chord 4 0 0 2 4 4 2 (Move this down one fret at a time for that rocky bit at the end of each section) Chord 5 0 0 13 14 14 12 Chord 6 0 0 4 6 6 4 Structure, sorry if its confusing, it's easy enough to work out by listening if you dont understand it. Verse: 1, 2, 3, 4 Architechtured: 3, 2, 1, 2, 6, 3, 6, 5, 1, 2, 1 Quiet bit: 3, 2, 1, 6, 5, 1, 2, 3......... 3, 2, 1, 6, 5, 1, 2, 3.......... 6, 3, 6, 5, 1, 2, 1 Here's Chris playing it so you can get a better idea of how it's done without all the background.

Can't be arsed to tab it out but I've made a vid showing how, learned it from watching chris live and Im fairly sure its 100%. It's uploading now so I'll post it in a bit :) Also I've found a really good way to play Green Eyes, sounds exactly like the record. Sounds the same as Kapone's version but much easier to play as it's mostly easy chord shapes. Use thumb for the F. Tuning: EADGBD Capo on second fret Chords Used -Am----G----D/F#--C/G----F-- -0-----0-----0-----0-----0----- -1-----0-----3-----1-----1----- -2/0---0-----2-----0-----2----- -2-----0-----4-----2-----4----- -0-----2-----0-----3/2---4----- -x-----3-----x-----3-----1----- Verse: G, D/F#, Am Chorus: Am, C/G, G, D/F# x2 Am, C/G, G, F, C/G x2 Bridge (green eyes, ohohohoh) Am, G, Am Outro: G, D/F#, A (finish on A)

Anybody know if DR strings actually last longer due to the circular core or whatever it is that's so special about them? Also whatever Chris uses on his acoustic, I always noticed they look very gold :P

The stuff about taking all your strings off at once isn't relevant if you're guitar has an adjustable truss rod (or even non adjustable?), which it almost certainly will. As for light strings, they shouldn't damage it, they just won't play very nice.

Just a note for those with small hands and struggle with using your thumb, to play We Never Change, if you tune your G string to F#, you need note use your thumb at all.

My new baby, absolutely loving this guitar, I can definitely see myself keeping it for a long long time :D

I'm very very very annoyed right now, YouTube is broadcasting the festival and I missed two of my favourite artists last night, Pretty Lights & Coldplay. Foster The People would've been good to watch too, can somebody please get me a time machine for christmas?

Hey peeps, I, like most people in this thread, am new here!
