Gwyneth Paltrow takes guitar lessons from Chris Martin
Posted on 15 Jul 2010 19:00 to category : Instruments News
Actress Gwyneth Paltrow has taken advantage of being married to a musician by getting guitar lessons from husband Chris Martin.
She needed to learn how to play the musical instrument for her part as a country singer in new film Love Don't Let Me Down and Paltrow said Martin had been a fantastic teacher, reports the Daily Mail.
"He was so helpful, so sweet and encouraging," she said of the Coldplay frontman.
"I mean, it's embarrassing to be playing in front of your husband, especially when he's in one of the world's most successful bands."
Earlier this year, Martin revealed that Coldplay are hoping their next record will be finished in time for it to be in the shops by the end of 2010.
The multi-instrumentalist - who can play the piano and keyboard in addition to the guitar - told Globo.com that security has been kept tight in the studio to stop any of the tracks from being leaked.
