Clocks - Coldplay

Clocks is an enormously-successful song by the British rock band Coldplay.
It was released in 2002 on the band?s second studio album A Rush of Blood to the Head.

The iconic, modal piano theme, contrapuntal melodies and classical structure make it highly suited to
arrangement for solo instruments and ensembles.

This arrangement is ideal for concert works, encores, wedding repertoire and background music. It is technically and musically appropriate for players of an intermediate/advanced standard.

Some bars present players with considerable technical challenges so alternative solutions are offered.

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.

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

A video will be uploaded here before the end of March 2020.

This version of Coldplay's 'Yellow' transforms a rock song into a fingerstyle ballad. It is arranged for the more-experienced guitarist and will make a very original and popular item for concerts, background music, weddings and general repertoire.

The opening requires use of high positions - ideally a cutaway guitar. I have provided an alternative opening at the end of the arrangement.

'Yellow' was Coldplay's first major UK success when it was released from their album 'Parachutes' in 2000.

The download contains a version with both notes and TAB and a second version with notes only. Full professional fingering is provided. A recording and YouTube performance/lesson will be uploaded before the end of September 2020.

This arrangement is in C major key, it uses some nail attack fingerstyle technique, suitable for the intermediate player.

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.
