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.

?Mattonya? is a soloacoustic finger-style guitar composition. Like ?Krisomas?, ?Mattonya? was composed for Mattand Tonya?s wedding, hence the name. ?Mattonya? is from my release ?BeyondWords? and included in my newest compilation. ?Together As One? which is songsI composed for weddings as ?Mattonya? created this theme. ?Mattonya? opens with no intro, gets right to the theme. The theme is in 4/4 and switches elegantly to 6/8, a delightful change. ?Mattonya? could be a welcome part of your show and is appropriate for schools, students, and church services for special events or concerts. "Mattonya" is an easy flowing piece which needs compassion. The 6/8 section does need to be steady and aggressive. Practice this section with a metronome starting out about 90 BPM's or what's comfortable. Then build up to 125 BPM's, the original tempo. It's important to adhere to the fingering, it works really well. Standard tuning. I've had a lot of success with "Mattonya" and I'm confident you will too! Enjoy and please share your comments. I can help with questions and or concerns. I've included the studio recording as well as a live performance.

This is my solo classicalguitar tremolo arrangement of Schubert's ?Ave Maria.? It is still considered in the top three ofmost requested wedding songs. I?ve found that having it arranged as a guitartremolo piece really adds to its impact.

This is my fingerstyle arrangement of the classic Red Hot Chili Peppers song ?Under the Bridge?. I left out the intro on purpose to get right into the verse. There are some flamenco elements in the last bit. It?s a great arrangement for cocktail hours, wedding dinners, and concerts.

Solo guitar arrangement with tablature of Jeremiah Clark's famous march. Left and right hand fingerings are indicated in the notation part of the score and tablature accompanies below. Perfect for the gigging wedding guitarist.

Air in D Major, or Air on the G String, originally written for strings and basso continuo, is one of J.S. Bach's most famous works. This arrangement features solo guitar in the original key, with fingerings and string designations where appropriate, plus tablature. An individual part without tablature is included.

Cardas is a folk dance played by Gypsies particularly in Eastern Europe. There are many dulcimer bands playing cardas there. It is a bit similar to flamenco, which is played by Gypsies of Southern Spain. I do not think that I have ever heard anybody play cardas as a classical guitar piece.That is why I wrote this music and I find guitar the perfect instrument for cardas. Please have a listen to me playing the piece on SoundCloud :)
