Coldplay - Arabesque guitar cover w original live tuning (see description)

Описание к видео Coldplay - Arabesque guitar cover w original live tuning (see description)

No capo; tuning: B - A - D - G - B - B (= tune bottom and top e-string down 5 half-steps to b).

This is 100% the tuning Chris uses live, based on the BTS/rehearsal video for "Orphans" and "Arabesque":
   • Rehearsing Orphans for Everyday Life ...  

I approached this one a little differently compared to what I do in the other videos and improvised a lot, since in the recorded version, the rhythm guitar stays on the same B-minor chord pretty much throughout the entire song.
So I took the liberty of including some of Chris's own variations (based on multiple live videos) as well as some of my own.

- - - - 0 2 4 02 0 - -
2 0 - - - - - - - - - - 2 0

(played with various pull-off's, hammer-on's and muted strings; I'm afraid I'm too bad at tabbing out things like that; but if you listen to it over and over again, it should become pretty clear.)

Played on a Martin D-16 GT.

Final fun fact: The official booklet states the tuning for the song is "B - A - D - G - B - E..." which is definitely not what Chris uses live :D
Check out my "Church" cover for another booklet oddity.
