Coldplay - The Scientist Acoustic Cover

[Omi603]

ur awesome ur not a narcicist bitch like other singers

[cjpsylady83]

I'm so tardy for the party, but I'm fairly new to learning songs, is it possible to provide a chord diagram, rather than the pattern, already suggested? I apologize if it is a lot to ask, just want to make sure that I am doing this right.

[patothrasher16]

ta la raja wn sige asi ;)

[DK2Kingston]

Tuning is FADGBC

[royer2323]

@DK2Kingston thanks for that. 

[new906]

hey! Can someone PLEASE tell me the format the guitar's to be tuned!!

is it EADGBF??

Please respond :/

[MrFootastical]

@new906 it´s actually EADGBC

[Justamantry]

@new906 no it's just the standard tuning .

[Justamantry]

@new906 and the chords is an C#m - A - E for the verses and an A - E - A -E - B for the refrain i can send you the positions if you wanted to . =)

[wizardme262]

@new906 I think the cords he uses hear are dead on, but I do think that on the video Chris tunes the low E to and F. Try that, It might sound better. Better yet tune the Hi E the same.

[lahailaifoi]

Nice!

[546kekek]

@1991esmee you're actually not supposed to strum the low E string, therefore he wrapped his thumb around so it's muted. you don't actually have to use your thumb. just don't strum that low E string.

[1991esmee]

@546kekek thank you for your answer :-) now i can go on with practicing :-)

[1991esmee]

do you need to use your thumb for the chords ?

because my hand isn`t big enough :-D and bar chords are not in this number right ??

thank you for the answer

[krizziman97]

How do you tune up to F?

[JuVK1]

Original Tuning is: EADGBF :) Chords are right ! :) 

[caiiooLima]

@JuVK1 Is not it EADGBE? Is F, sure?

[JuVK1]

@caiiooLima Yes, for sure!

[constantdownerlolz]

Hey! You play the guitar amazingly!!! I also have a cover of this song on YouTube! Wish we could team up!

[TheLindaOberg]

Brilliant ! :)

[rorymidori]

Awesome vid, i tried the half step down tuning with 1st string to a B and the standard tuning with 1st string to an F and i think the latter sounds the most legit. But taking nothin away, ur awesome dude...tried so hard to find a vid to match the chords chris martin does in his acoustic recording. nice work!

[Ineedwords1121]

I just go ahead and tune both E's to a F. It gives it more of a bassy sound. It makes it easier to play as well...

[americanhighway]

thank you!! thank you!! thank you!!!

[lovemyguitarlomo]

I love you !

you got the right oneee!

[josh4380]

Message me if you want tabs for this song that dont involve untuning your guitar...

[MrSheff643]

Thanks a lot!!! Nice job! Very true!!!

[Krisiftw]

Yay I can finally learn how to play it the correct way cause you actually play it the way it's supposed to be played! Thanks :)

[RockinFool]

Nice cover man, I have trouble with the 10 10 12 12 chord too xD especially getting it to come clean haha.

[SirSmokeal0t]

Dude how the fuck do you do those chords high up on the neck with the thumb clasp? I can't for the life of me do it :(

[Dugpoo]

This is wrong, the 1st string should be tuned up to an F not to a C.

[Tangibleapparition]

@Dugpoo please,could you tell how to tune my e string to f, without a tuner,please.give me comparison with another string , 10x :)

[Tangibleapparition]

sorry i do not understand what means to tune down your guitar with half step down.could you explain it very simply to me. 10x how should i do it?

[reksub10]

is that a yammaha ,you can usually tell a yammaha by the way the scratch plate touches the neck....awesome guitars for the price of them ..awesome cover aswell mate

[CrosbyHalak]

WOW! I try to play this, the tuning is Eb Ab Db, Gb Bb B?

[reksub10]

@CrosbyHalak yeah but the tuning doesent have to be a half step down .if you want to jam with this vid it does but to jam with the coldplay acoustic version you need to keep it in standard tuning

[CrosbyHalak]

@reksub10 Ok Thank you!

[reksub10]

@CrosbyHalak see the DM chord at the 12th and 10th fret Dm (012 12 10 10 0)its easier for me to do it at the 5th and 6th fret(Dm(0 0 6 6 5 0)just a Dm without the barre finger then go to the Bb i find that easier check my vid if you want to learn it and its in standard tuning ...good luck

[CrosbyHalak]

@reksub10 Thank, I Will try :D

[jernstig]

very good. look at mine scientist cover, even if its not at your level!

[TheShocker72]

nice cover mate x

[pOlLoMoliNitA]

perfect cover!!!!

[teddiechang]

is there any change in tuning?

[reksub10]

@teddiechang yeah it says in the description to tune the thinnest string(e) to a c but its an F you tune the 1st string to hold in the 1st fret of the 6th and then thats the sound you want on the open 1st ,if you know what i mean...but thinnest string to an F anf you should get it

[rapidox2]

[TheNniicchhoollaass]

[enr111808]

@cassandratype4

[anarquistaoscuro]

[MrDeViLsSnEeR]

The high "e" is actually tuned to F, to those who are wondering.

[TheKevsmith19]

[xXxjessietjexXx]

Really very nice, do you have the strumming pattern for me?? :D

[dxpsycho]

[fabriciomv]

[bikoDMNR8v]

[lflour]

[Chewwwee]

to play it this way you need to put a capo on the first fret and it will sound just like the original video

[Waterboy4]

Yea, it is standard tunning.

[Chewwwee]

[marcpuigmusic]

[2dark2die]

@shamman2012 dude, i know it's a long time since you posted this comment, but THANK you so much! now it finally sounds right!

thank you!

[mortizmortiz]

yeah this is the way chris plays it...

however i guess this way makes that undesierable sound while u drag the strings in those chords changes ...

[Qackool]

OMG DUDE PLEASE READ THIS.

you are the only guy SERIOUSLY the only guy who has posted a version similar to the one million view version of chris martin playing it acousticly. Thank you sooo much. I'm so tired of so many people posting the capo 3rd fret version.

[josh4380]

@Qackool ive got one that s just as good, if not better than even chris martins...

[lollerskates101LOL]

@Qackool Haha I was looking for this version too

[JamminJadey]

wow that was really good!

thanks so much for the tab too man.

<3 :D

[SendMeBelow22]

nice cover man...and just so you know theres chords that are alot easier to play and it still sounds really good..i think its...Bm7..G..D..Dsus

i think its easier anyway..but this is the way that chris plays it right?

[frathomon]

Thank you for uploading this! It really is a help in how to play the chords ... nice voice and singing by the way! ;)

[TheaterMnky]

why does it song wrong for me!! dammiittttt

[dysenterymatt]

Just a reminder to all attempting this: The high 'E' string is tuned down to C. I think that's what's stumped alot of people on the internet trying to play this song on their accoustics. Tune down your E strings people!

[dysenterymatt]

nm, i am wrong =(

[shootr04]

No dysenterymatt, you were right the first time, actually. That's exactly how it's played, with the high E string tuned down to C.

[MONTRW]

Dear Rahilium, i've sent the las 4 hours trying to tune my guitar to play this tune, i have video palying this thack but only you after chris Martin played it properly... Could you you please please just drop me a message whenever you have a min and let me know how to toune it, I've already practised the chords i just need the right tuning :) Thank you in advance, god bless, Marcos Pires

[MattAttack1221]

You took four hours to tune your high E string down to C?

[opusteno]

those are original cords . excelent !

[dysenterymatt]

standard tuning?

[paologbr]

GOOD WORK!

[Snougdoug]

Good work. I like this cover man.

[Rahilium]

For anyone who wants to know, the chords are now in the video description.

[jfrules06]

you have a great voice. You actually sound a bit like chris martin. And nice guitar skills.

[garyralves]

Great version... hate to sound like a total newB... but where did you find the tabs for this version? BTW... 5* from me!

[aXt3r1]

Why do you need the tabs? You can see the chords perfectly clear in the video.

[KiKaL8]

nice the same way i play it. the right freaking way haha

[koaoradix]

Wow, this is quite amazing, it looks exactly like how Chris Martin played it~

[vegeta722]

Nice cover, it's great that you added that as a video response to that acoustic version since you play what Chris Martin actually plays.

Is this standard tuning by the way?

[Rahilium]

Thanks for the comment, it's tuned a half-step down in the video.

[PrimeDefection]

Hey Rahilium... I tuned my guitar down a half step and im playing the same chords as you but it still sounds like my guitar strings are in a cat fight with each other. (Im a guitar newb) Half step means Eb Ab Db Gb Bb eb correct?

[Rahilium]

Right, but the last string (High eb) is actually tuned down to B, the first fret of the 5th string. So if you play the first fret of the 5th string and the 6th string open, they should sound exactly the same. Then try playing it, it should sound exactly alike my tuning.
