I remember years ago desperately waiting for Guitar Player's next magazine release. Absorbing all the riffs and tablature of great tunes. Now its a click of a button. Kids are sure lucky today. Great work.
I'm 24 and have no idea how people taught themselves guitar pre-internet! Even when I tried learning electric guitar at 10 (did not last long, did not have patience 😂) I was looking up videos and tabs online but it was nothing like it is now. Thanks for sharing that!
The only reason I can play guitar so good is all because of this guy. I love the way he explains each an every thing man.. I even tell my friends when they ask me like how to learn this song and all.. Then I send the videos of you.. Like I find your videos very helpful and I enjoy practicing the songs in the demonstration part.. Keep making new songs tutorials and encouraging too all the guitar players including me 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
@@GuitarZero2Hero Hello Dave! I've been trying to figure out the tuning and the strumming of the guitar for the live version, can you help out? Thanks!
Yesss!!!!!, exactly a month ago I watched that Chris Martin video on the Howard Stern show, got hooked on how he plays it, tried replicating but couldn't, tried some beginner tutorials but they were just not enough and now this. Thanks Dave, you are an Angel.

Oh man, I couldn't be more grateful to you for sharing the CORRECT way of tuning and playing this one. I was almost driving crazy with people on youtube saying they got the "correct" way when the finger shapes they've shared had nothing to do with what I saw Chris Martin play. And the same regarding very subtle tone (but annoying) differences due to the wrong tuning. You definitely won a new subscriber. Thanks a million. And everything so clear with all the parts separated and to the point. And even an easy version for the ones who don't mind playing it exactly as him like me. What else could you ask for? You totally rock. Thanks again!
Wish you had posted this earlier, my cover of the song would've been so much easier to learn 😅😅 love these tutorials! Can't wait for more Coldplay stuff! 😇😇

Thank you so much for this!! I haven't been playing for long so I was searching for a song I think I could play but still one I know and love - I think this will be it! :>
You're the real hero of the guitar ... you know what ? You can call me beginner at guitar playing because it's been a year learning , so i always do my best to recognize chords of coldplay's songs but what i miss is the tuning !! Thank you !! Please in future make a tutorial of A Sky Full Of Stars live from Chris Martin's house and thank you my hero
Hey great video, fast to learn. PS in the video u play D from the 4th fret while in the guitar on the left side u play it on the 5th fret. i said this because i played it wrong by that :D anyway verry nice video and thank you for posting these
Perfect as always. You’re the best guitar teacher in youtube. Can You Please make a Video for their other song “us against the world” ? that would be awesome ♥️
Wow, wonderful! Amazing tutorial. I deeply appreciate you for this video. You taught the song in the most perfect and understandable way. Thanks so much.❤️
Dave thanks you so much for making guitar lessons that are actually playable and begginer friendly, you helped me learn so many songs. Dave could you do safe inside the acoustic version by James Arthur
There's so many versions of this on youtube but i immediately recognized this as the version chris martin played live on the Howard Stern show. Awesome tutorial!!
Hi Dave I'm fan girling again on you.. Yea Pun intended.. I'm a messed with strum pattern though and my fingers are kinda bruised and cut over a few days playing back the guitar.. Nice tutorial! You never bore me my hero!! Thank you ❤❤❤.
I'm really fascinated with the guitar sound in the video, which sounds like in the woods, in the nature and quite crispy, brisk. Though I wonder why I can't make such amazing sound on my own guitar.
Hey Dave! Thanks for the wonderful videos; they've inspired me to take up the guitar again. I was wondering if you could do a lesson on "Playing On My Mind", from the 1975's new album? It's a beautiful song, and I'd love to be able to play it.
Would you do tuto"I wont go home without you by maroon 5" this old song really beautiful,cause u the only teacher that i trust,btw i learn a lot from your tutorial thanks so much,i'm from indonesia if u wanna know hehe:)
Thank you so much! I've been trying to learn this, but had so much trouble getting a proper sound on the D, but I was also playing a regular D, rather than the version you show here. It sounds SOOO much better, and also a way easier switch, which is great as I've only been playing for around 6 months. Love the concept, especially the play throughs at the end with vocal aswell. Awesome job!
I listen this song few days ago and i want to learn this and i found your tutorial, i thought your tutorial must be 2 ,3 year old but you upload it recently,,,, thank u so much....amazing and helpful...
For a minute there I thought there were only arms playing the guitar which caught me off guard since his t-shirt matched the background 💀💀 Side note: can't wait to try this song out, it was one of the best sounding tracks back in the day and is still one of the songs I enjoy to listen to imo
I loved your video, since i couldnt figure out the tuning! Personally, i would recommend referencing the actual chords for example the E-major (second chord in chorus if it were standard tuning) in a moved D-Shape! Might help some people here ^^

Cool video man! Now for those of you who dont have a capo and/or dont want to fuck around with tuning (like when youre randomly handed a guitar and asked to play sth) and can afford to sing it a half step higher (if you have trouble with that, go practice your ass off or just take the octave below that. Like lazy people. People like me.): You can combine the live riff with the easy chords and just play it in standard. Transposed chord progression would be | D E | A F#min | (all open except for the F#min, which would be a 2nd fret Emin barre chord); have fun!
Good heavens; that's a $3,500 (Cdn) guitar you're playing. so I imagine it's similar in Australia. It's beautiful. Nice to know about Cole Clark guitars but these are definitely a step up from the basic range of guitars, phew.
HOLYYY. I swear, i watched again that live yersterday and wanted to play the same way Chris plays it. There was a single tutorial online that showed us how to play the song that way but that tuning hurts my strings. Jumping out of bed and going straight to learn it. Thank you :). Of yea, wanted to ask you somethin'. In the future you plan doing a tutorial on Hotel California ?
Thank you! Can you do a lesson for Circus mtv unplugged from Eric Clapton ? There is no tutorial on the web. Sorry for my english i come from France, your lessons are great!
U have the best tutorials on youtube

To detune your guitar half step, just place the capo on the fisrt fred and let the tuning device tell where to tune it
you're the best! thanks :)
You’re reading my mind
I’ve been wanting to learn it after I saw Martin played it on Howard Stern show
This is the exact method he uses in that vid ;) enjoy!
@@GuitarZero2Hero Hello Dave! I've been trying to figure out the tuning and the strumming of the guitar for the live version, can you help out? Thanks!

I just want his page to hit 1 million subscribers. He takes a lot of efforts to teach. He deserves a lot more

HOLYYY. I swear, i watched again that live yersterday and wanted to play the same way Chris plays it. There was a single tutorial online that showed us how to play the song that way but that tuning hurts my strings. Jumping out of bed and going straight to learn it. Thank you :).
Of yea, wanted to ask you somethin'. In the future you plan doing a tutorial on Hotel California ?
Haha yeh I teach that detuned method too, it does sound better! But there's also a nice simple way too :) Yes that's coming in the future
Thank you Dave! Love Coldplay!
