Speed of Sound by Coldplay

Speed of Sound is an enormously-successful song by the British rock band Coldplay. It was the first single to be released from the band?s 2005 album X & Y.

Your single download will give you an introduction, a score in both notes and TAB and a score with just notes.

The melodies and warm harmonies make it ideal for arrangement for solo instruments and ensembles.
This arrangement is perfect for concerts, encores, wedding repertoire and background music. It is technically and musically appropriate for players of an intermediate standard.

Dan?s arrangements for solo guitar and ensembles for all levels can be heard at www.danjonesguitarist.com. Links to downloads are also available in all video descriptions.

If you would like to perform a concert set of Coldplay songs, as I do, you will find solo arrangements of Fix You and Clocks for download at the website noted above.

Thank you for listening and I hope very much that you and your audiences enjoy Speed of Sound as much as I have enjoyed arranging and playing it.
