Some of them I had already done as covers for the cover thread … LOL so I just put em here
Thanks for all the comments on them!
I know this is an older post, but I’m just starting with Yellow and going over everyone’s covers.
I also feel like the isolated bass sounds like a pick, and downstrokes the whole time.
I looked for some live videos and it seems the old ones are finger style and newer ones with a pick…
I’ll try both and see how it feels.
Also, it’s really cool to see how everyone is approaching the chorus slide differently!
OK, here is my version of Yellow.
I was never into Coldplay and never liked this song.
Luckily (thanks to the wisdom of Josh) this song really builds on the extensive chugging practice we had with U2 and was easy to learn quickly.
This time I think the bass is too low in the mix…
Tried it with a pick as well but couldn’t get the consistency of the chugging with it - volume and attack all over the place.
Thanks in advance for any input!
(for some reason, YouTube would not embed the video here and you have to click and watch it on YouTube website. Something about copyright restrictions. It is the same song as all the other posts so I am a bit confused, but whatever…)

Quite a nice, simple one here. I’m pleased that I actually managed this on my very first take, which isn’t something I definitely can’t say for the last one I did.
Watching back, I think I could’ve played the chorus a little smoother.

Feels like I should be embarassed to be seen bopping to Coldplay haha
But if it keeps you in time, it’s worth doing.
