Everytime I search a song up and I see you’ve posted a tutorial to it it’s such a relief! I always learn it better when I watch you. Thank you so much!
It annoys me to bits how few of these Coldplay-tutorials actually bother to check that the tuning is 100% right. Chris often plays around with funky tunings, especially when strumming these kinds of songs. In this case, the e-string (first string) is lowered all the way down to the same pitch as the B-string. As soon as you do that, your strumming suddenly stops sounding wonky when compared to the original. Enjoy!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I was wondering why my e string just sounded so out of place when i tried playing this song, and so i came down to the comments to see if anyone else was having the same problem, so thank you again!!!
@@girabbe. You bet, glad I could be of help. If you're trying more fancy songs, like "'Til Kingdom Come", don't even bother trying to learn from the lessons you find on TH-cam etc. The tuning is so unusual you literally can't play it in a standard tuning and have it sound even remotely the same. Some tabs get it right, but very few. The best I can recommend, with guitarists who are playing wonky tunings, is to actually find videos of them playing the songs live, looking at their hands closely, and working out the tuning from there -- it's not as hard as it sounds. This is what I always do now when I know something is slightly (or totally) off, and in the case of 'Til Kingdom Come for example, it's definitely worth it. Enjoy and peace out!
Fantastic work!. Thanks so much! The way you present the strumming pattern, tablature, finger positions and overview all on one screen is great. And the playthrough at the end helps tie it all together. It makes a very comprehensive lesson. I have one suggestion; showing the words on the bottom as they are sung would complete the picture. I have subscribed and I am keen to see more.
Did I drive you away? I know what you'll say You'll say, "Oh, sing one we know" But I promise you this I'll always look out for you Yeah, that's what I'll do I say "Oh" I say "Oh" My heart is yours It's you that I hold on to Yeah, that's what I do And I know, I was wrong But I won't let you down Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, I will, yes, I will I say "Oh" I cry "Oh" Yeah, I saw sparks Yeah, I saw sparks And I saw sparks Yeah, I saw sparks Sing it out

flipped the Am +9 for a standard Am chord with a hammer on and pull off on the third string : ) My Taylor is sounding amazing tonight . Super lesson : ) Thank you .
I’ve watched tons of tutorials for sparks and I feel like they were too fast. This one is a little fast but I’ve understood it way better especially with the tabs. Thank you so much. Now I can play it
You Dave, are the boss! Was having a bad day and about to call it in early but seeing you post a tutorial on one of my all-time favourites brought sparks of joy :) pun intented haha
Easily the best tutorial I’ve ever watched. The charts on the side compliment your video. The camera angle is perfect. Your pacing is spot on. Most importantly, you’re not a self-important dick. You’re just a great teacher!
been trying to learn this song for MONTHS, could never find the right tabs. i hate watching yt vids but the way yours are i got the chords down and was playing in like one minute. just wish i would’ve found you sooner!
Started learning guitar back in 2018. Started off watching Marty Music and was excited whenever i saw he had a video for a song i excited to learn. That's me with your channel, now! I actually look to your channel first when i want to learn a new song🙏🏼🔥 goodluck, man! I really love your channel and free e-book!
Hi, I'm a beginner and I like watching your videos to try and learn someone of them. It's so clear to understand even if I'm french and I dont speak english very well. I would like to know if you can share a new one I try to play, it's Hero from Enrique Iglesias ? Thank you so much 🤗
Great tutorial! An hour and I almost got most of it down. Just need to get the muscle memory in and work on that Am and G6 then combine vocals with the rest of my playing.
You made it so simple, thank you so much, I have also been trying to play this song lately, being quite a beginner, and you just made it really clear, specially for the strumming pattern, great way of explaining, thank you so much 😍
Love this tutorial! Thank you so much. I always get excited learning something new on my guitar, especially when it’s taught nicely! I was wondering if the beginning chords, if the strumming pattern should be D DU instead, as the intro from Coldplay sounds like they just strum down and up before the next chord.
Hey ! I know this is probably not what you're looking for but this helped me learn "When Somebody Loved Me": th-cam.com/video/H9jbKEwInOI/w-d-xo.html fingerstyle-tabs-guitar.blogspot.com/2020/04/when-she-loved-me-fingerstyle-tabs.html
I love the way you have presented this lesson… Am I crazy, or is the B string tuned up to D (3 semi-tones) in the original recording? I am hearing a consistent G# in there…it’s especially clear in the intro. This changes the Em to Em7, D6/9/11 to Em9, etc…, but I think it’s there.
@@briggsbrothers there are a couple other things too-if you watch Chris play it live he uses a different shape for the 'a minor' chord, and there are some really nice extensions when he sings 'I know I was wrong...'
I gave up learning guitar because I couldn’t find a song that would be easy to play if I was consistent. And I just want to say thank you because this is the first and only song I know how to play and now I just want to learn more songs
thank you for this im making a alternate version for my boyfriend because i want the song to signify that the relationship that's depicted in the song lasts and that things get better cause this is one of my boyfriends song and i don't want to send him the wrong message hehe so learning the guitar part helps a ton. ^^
Very good video. Quickly picked up the chords and song structure but struggling to strum in a way that makes the fretted E A D G strings loud enough without it being drowned out by the mostly open G B e strings. Any help? Edit: I was playing it with my fingers, it's a lot more clear sounding like it is in the tutorial with a pick
your guitar tutorials are awesome the way you teach with the visual guitar and the tabs is perfect. Whenever I want to learn a song i always see if you have posted a tutorial. Keep being amazing bruh
This is such a great song. Clever, unique, well executed by the band. So many little things they do in it to raise it a level on all instruments. And I can't picture another singer coming close bringing the vibe Chris brought on it. Perfection. It's a shame they could never write something near as brilliant these days (for a long time now actually). Fortune and fame really ruined their creativity and vibe
I honestly disagree, there's a lot of songs like these in their recent albums it's just that they don't take off. I think a good example is everyday life.
@@royshavrick - Sure, not everyone will agree with my opinion, and that's okay. 'Everyday Life' Chris sounds great on it as usual but for me, as a long time songwriter, it's nowhere near as creative and unique as Sparks. It's very standard issue pop song in construction and performance in my view, nothing that will make serious songwriters marvel at its construction. Though again I do think Chris nailed the vocal on it, however that said, I don't think he's the ONLY guy that could have sang that song, that well.
Awesome! My friend just started learning guitar so I'm gonna learn this and teach it to him. He likes the open sounding chords Incubus uses so I think he'll like this one a lot. Thanks!
R U Mine? - Arctic Monkeys Tutorial please Dave🙏 This is the perfect song to learn by your videos cause 1) there are loads of small variations and sections. The most convenient way to learn them is by playing along the tabs you make 2) timing is syncopated and is quite hard which is why play-along tabs are very very important Love your vids!
I've been trying to play this song for years now and you've made it accessible to me. Appreciate this a ton man!
me too! i’m so excited
does this require a capo? Im following the tabs and it’s not the same tune. Yes, my guitar is in tune as well
Yeah it does, capo on the 6th fret@@Geese_R_Geese

How can you change the tunning with apps? I’m new and kinda scared of breaking strings..lol
Then your ears need to do the job. Just tune the e-string down until it rings the same as the string next to it. Good luck! :-)
YES I LOVE COLDPLAY this is one of my favs
"simple and easy" - is stuck on the intro for 3-5 business days
it it actually easy btw

I finally got a capo so I finally get to play this and it was super easy thank you! Also great vocals!
Absolutely amazing and fun to play along with someone while you’re learning, thank you so much
Glad you enjoyed it!
