Not a big Coldplay fan but this melody would get a tear out of a brick!

Very helpful (non patronising) post - ta v. much...

[EstelleSilk]

so i play totaly fine inthe begging till when the tears come streaming down your face.. because then it goes higher how do you do that?

[ColdplayChampion]

@EstelleSilk So in the begining I'm using just basic organs but when the 'tears come streaming' part comes in I use my dual effect, the effect which can make you use two tones at the same time. So I mixed those basic Fix You organs with the church organs and that's how the sound came out. You can even see me activating the effect on the video by pressing the button.

[EstelleSilk]

@ColdplayChampion  Yes I noticed you pressed the button just wasn't sure but now it sounds complete since I've been able to change that part .. Thanks Cheers

What type of Organ is it in the beginning?

Bye the Way great tutorial :)

[ColdplayChampion]

@Srub93 Well it says it's just "Cool! Organ" : ( My keyboard is Yamaha DGX-630 and the voice's number is 021, if that helps you in any way.

[Srub93]

@ColdplayChampion thanks :) and yes because i have the same keyboard ^^

[ColdplayChampion]

@Srub93 Good. That's a lovely keyboard. For the second half of the first verse I recommend you to stay on that tone and add the church organ using dual funtcion.

This is awesome! I've almost got it down, I'm just having issues trying to figure out the bridge part. I can't really tell what your left hand is playing or what the rhythm is.

[ColdplayChampion]

@SmileYoureBeautiful Ok. So my left hand plays mostly octaves ^^ I sometimes play Ab chord instead of Ab octave because it's more comfortable. Also I sometimes add the last note of the chord when I play octave. So for example Eb chord = (Eb, Bb, Eb). Ab chord = (Ab Eb Ab) and so on. If you're still figuring out the rhythm listen closely to the bridge part I'm playing or listen to the Chris' acoustic version of the song. I tried to do similar version to his so that might help you.

@ColdplayChampion I've got it now, thank you so much!
