Speed Of Sound Ver 3 by Coldplay
Coldplay - Speed Of Sound ver 3 bass tab
Song: Speed of Sound (Album Version)
Artist: Coldplay (Guy Berryman)
Album: X&Y (Capitol)
Tabbed by dAvKiAn
Note:
There is no bass on the Intro nor on the first verse;
so for those who do not have a or the synthesizer that Guy uses on these parts,
I wrote a riff to accompany the piano here.
I used a sort of ethereal or phaser effect to give it a synth feel.
Of course, is not original from Coldplay, so you are free to play it or not.
Intro: starts on the 3rd note of the piano. Play softly and let every note ring. Plays
better with a pick. (Guy Plays the song with a pick anyway).
