Product Description
This is a professional, fully notated and simplified TAB arrangement and transcription for 4-string bass, acoustic guitar, and electric guitar in standard tuning (EADG for bass, EADGBE for guitar and acoustic) of the timeless alternative rock ballad The Scientist by the legendary British band Coldplay. Faithfully adapted from the original studio recording, this arrangement is written in the key of F major / D minor and captures all the harmonic emotion, melodic lines, and rhythmic textures that made this track one of Coldplays most beloved songs.
Featured on their Grammy-winning and critically acclaimed 2002 album "A Rush of Blood to the Head", The Scientist stands as a modern classic known for its melancholic piano melody, introspective lyrics, and minimalist yet deeply emotional structure. This arrangement translates those iconic elements into accessible and engaging parts for bass guitar, electric guitar, and acoustic guitar, making it ideal for students, educators, and performing musicians alike.
This multi-instrument transcription is ideal for beginners to intermediate players looking to perform or study the song in its original form while learning to interact across instruments. The bass part is rooted in simplicity and feel, closely aligned with the vocal phrasing and chord movement, providing a solid foundation. The guitar and acoustic parts include cleanly notated TABs and standard notation, reflecting the songs beautiful chord progressions and arpeggiated voicings, while offering fingerings and positions that are practical for players with developing technique.
