Song: Speed of Sound (Album Version) Artist: Coldplay (Guy Berryman) Album: X&Y (Capitol) Tabbed by dAvKiAn Tuning: EADG 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).

Good stuff, it's just that the rhythm is hard and it's hard to show using tabs, but I'll figure it out.
