Coldplay strumming

Hi Guys
Well can anyone tell me strumming pattern of Till Kingdom comes & A message.I will be really grateful.

samdevos · 03-09-2006, 09:51 AM

you just have to feel this
listen couple of times and you have it.

Or just do your own pattern

Yea thats kind of impossible to "tell" you the pattern. Its something you have to figure out on your own. I can tell you like when and where you do a up or down stroke, but that wont help you out much its more of a rythem you have to find.

Strumming patterns can be confusing when you're first starting out but you learn to pick it up pretty quickly.
Play them without singing first, as doing both can throw you off.

Thanxs guys .I m beginner so can anyone give me some tips.Anyone knows exact tabs of TKC and Message

Trouble87 · 04-09-2006, 04:37 PM

Well they both require different tunings, which may be difficult for a beggining guitarist, but if your still interested try this with TKC: Tuning: CACGBe

0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
1 1 1 1 \ 3 3 3 3 \ 5 5 5 5
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
3 3 3 3 \ 5 5 5 5 \ 7 7 7 7
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 This is the intro and the verse, the '\'

indicates you to slide up the neck.

And for a message, I really don't know the tuning off the top of my head, but you can just use a guitar Capo on the first fret and play these chords:

x32010
022010
020010
320010 these are the verse

133211 <-- end of verse 1 and 2

then for the chorus:

xx0231
x32010
320003

try those and see if they help at all

Alternatively for 'A message' if you can't be bothered to mess with the tuning or don't have a capo, you can play the simplified chords, using the standard tuning.
Sounds okay and gets the job done if you dont have a capo and no risk of snapping any strings.

Db - 446664
Fbm - 133111
Ab - 466544
Gb - 244322
Ebm - x68876

For the verses use: Db, Fmb, Ab

For the pre chorus (You don't have to be alone) Gb, Fbm, Ab

For the chorus (and i'm not going to take...) Ebm, Db, Ab

Woow

samdevos · 05-09-2006, 10:43 AM

i asked myself how do you explain a strumming pattern ? :s

I wouldn't know how to write it out.

Petra_coldplay · 05-09-2006, 10:50 AM

Maybe with U (up) and D (down..)
So for example U-U-U-D-U-D-D or something

It's just an idea

mike90 · 05-09-2006, 02:52 PM
