For those of you who are interested in it, here is the trumpet part from the above two, obviously it's hard to recreate the sound of a trumpet's valves on guitar, so it doesn't sound exactly right. I'm pretty sure there's a harmony in there somewhere, but these are the notes played.

Here's my version of the tab for Knights Of Cydonia by Muse. It's basically my interpretation of Mr. Bellamy's live performance of this song, and its got all the extra little things that he does that are not on the album version. Have fun playing this, as it sounds great!
[Intro] ------ Begin with this. (Clean or distorted, your choice). e|-0----0----0--------------| B|-0----1----1--------------| G|-0----0----0--------------| D|-2----2----2--------------| A|-2----2----2--------------| E|-0----0----0--------------|
Then into the proper intro. (Clean-ish). e|-------------------------| B|-------------------------| G|-------------------------| D|-2----4--5----7--7--9----| x2 A|-2----4--5----7--7--9----| E|-0----2--3----5--5--7----|
For this next part, play the note once and bend back and forth quickly with the vibrato bar. e|------------------------------------| B|------------------------------------| G|------------------------------------| D|-5----4--2--0----2--4--5----4--2--0-| A|------------------------------------| E|------------------------------------|
Now it's just straightforward tremolo picking for the next part. e|-11----10--8--6----8--10--11----10--8--6----7----8--10--8----11--13--14----13--14--15-| B|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
e-7---7-------8---7----7----8----7----7----7-| Play the last chord a few B--8---7-----8----8----7----8----8----7----8-| times distorted then slide down G---9---8---9-----7----8----9----7----8----9-| for intro section again. D--------------------------------------------| A--------------------------------------------| E--------------------------------------------|
e|-20/---------------0---| When Matt plays live he does the B|-------------------0---| slide down on the low e, not the G|-------------------0---| high e, but i prefer using the high e. D|-----------------2-2---| Also, Play the last chord a few A|-----------------2-2---| times then palm mute a few times E|-----------------0-0---| and then stop all noise (for now).
Start this after "...must fight to survive." e|--------------------------------------------------------| B|--------------------------------------------------------| G|--9------11------14------12------16------18------21-----| D|----x14-----x14-----x14-----x14-----x28-----x14-----x14-| A|--7------9-------12------10------14------16------19-----| E|--------------------------------------------------------|
Either that or... e|------------------------------------------------------| B|--5------7------10------8------12------15------17-----| G|----x14----x14-----x14----x14-----x28-----x14-----x14-| D|--2------4------7-------5------9-------12------14-----| A|------------------------------------------------------| E|------------------------------------------------------|
e|------------------------------------------------| You can change the 3's to B|------------------------------------------------| harmonics at the third fret G|------------------------------------------------| on the low e string. D|------------------------------------------------| A|------------------------------------------------| E|-3p0-0-0-0--h3p0-0-0-0--h3p0-0-0-0--h3p0-0-0-0--|
Play the above section 4 times.
Synth. background bit. (Tremolo picking, lots of delay and reverb) e|-12----------------10--------9----7----5----3--------| B|-------12--------------------------------------------| G|-------------12--------------------------------------| D|-----------------------------------------------------| x 2 A|-----------------------------------------------------| E|-----------------------------------------------------|
Once the singing has ended, Matt plays this over the high background notes. e|-----------------------------------------| B|-----------------------------------------| G|-----------------------------------------| D|-----------------------------------------| A|-5h7-7-7-7p5h7-7-7-7p5h7-7-7-7p5h7-7-7-7-| E|-----------------------------------------|
This part is my interpretation of the little solo Matt plays live after the part above. e|--------------------------------------------------------------| B|--------------------------------------------------------------| G|--------12-14-14b15b14--12--------------12-14-14b15b14--12----| D|-12--14--------------------14----12--14--------------------14-| A|--------------------------------------------------------------| E|--------------------------------------------------------------|
And the final part of which is played live... e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------0~-| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------0~-| G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------0~-| D|-2--5--9--10--7--4--9--9b/--2--5--9s14--16--17--16--14--13--16--16--17--16--14/--2~-| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------2~-| E|-0--3--7--8---5--2--7--7b/--0--3--7s12--14--15--14--12--11--14--14--15--14--12/--0~-| As you let the last chord ring, slowly bend down with the vibrato bar as far as it will go and fade into silence.
That's it. Enjoy!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Knights Of Cydonia Live At Rome Olympic Stadium - Muse ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Rory H E-mail: rdeh10@googlemail.com
Tuning: EADGBe
So this is a tab for the Live Version of Knights of Cydonia that was played at Rome Olympic Stadium. I have created this tab mainly because the other live versions seem only to cover the Wembley performance or the Abbey Road session, which are both great, but do have their differences to the Rome version :)
Any improvements/corrections, let me know in the comments or by email!
