Not to brag, but I can play thru pretty much every OLP song, cuz I love to learn them. There are some that I may have a chord off, or not have the TRUE chord (like in Never enough when he drops from a minor to the -7 for the last chord.. etc).

Just outta curiosity, I'd like to do a poll. What size picks do you guys like the most? I usually play with Mediums, cuz they have the bendability (awww j'yah) but also has power to them. Heavy's I use if I'm doing Rythm cuz you can get behind the chord more, and I use Light if it's a technical song, that required picking. But Iwas just wondering what you guys used most.

Rob, I know good links for Coldplay tabs and stuff if you need some. I learned Scientist, yellow and Clocks (lick and all).. it's really easy. it's like

E 11 | 9 | 8
B 11 | 11 x2| 9 (pretty chords plucked down)
G 12 | 10 | 10


and the chords are D#, A# (x2) and G#
for Verses and the "You Are" parts

the the "NOTHING else compaaaares" part it's F# (x2) C# G#

hope that helps. That's my tab try o the day :) hehe.. there you just learned Clocks.. hoooraah

I use these teal green Dava Control picks, and I love them. They've got a lot of flexability in the middle, but if you hold it a little lower, it's stiff as a board for rythem stuff.

The only thing that I don't like about them is that they're almost the exact same colour as my carpet, so if I drop one, it's really a pain in the ass to find. :lol:

This is the place to ask questions, cuz we ALL know most of the songs. so one of us will know what chord that is, or how the lick goes :)

Here's one of my well-used picks (I was bored, so I scanned it).

It looks a lot brighter here than normal...

One thing that I hate about picks is that they are super easy to lose and super hard to find.

I bought 80 picks in January and I'm down to about 14

Woah, that's bad.

I have three picks. I've had them for a long while now. I had four, but lost one.

You only lost one pick?

I've probably had a total of 20 picks in my 5-6 years of playing.

I need to get some new Davas, though. They're starting to get rounded.

Oh, and I still have one of my first picks. I actually just found it under my old amp when I got the new one. :freak:

I should mention that I keep my three main picks in a little pick holder, so I rarely lose them.

Maybe I should do that. I tend to tuck my picks into my pockets

I tried that, but I ened up losing a few in the wash, and I got into the habbit of playing air guitar with a pick in school. :lol:

I pretended that my picks were spaceships and I had battles with them druing school :clumsy: 8-)

I need to start bringing picks around in my pockets again. Maybe I'll do that with my old picks when I get some new ones...
