Ehm ok wel sounds like it but out of tune! u can play this on e-tuning with capo on 3th and then use B-minor7, G, D and Dasus2. Its sounds better and its easy. Greetz

@Swiftnl I am aware of this. I know it's easier, but keep in mind that a lot of people may not have capos, and may find this version easier. Besides, there are lots of different ways to play one song on guitar.

standard tuning?

[LearnSongsNow]

@EVguitarsNW Watch the beginning of the video. It's in F-A-D-G-C-F.

Can I just put a capo on the first fret ? (I'm a beginner, I don't know how to tune a guitar)

[LearnSongsNow]

@fuelanas Sure, you can put a capo on the first fret, but that will change the chord shapes slightly.

Please check my "The Scientist" cover :) I`ve been playing guitar since 2 months

If you watch Coldplay perform it live, this is the way they do it, not with capos and such. Thanks, I've been looking for this.

Thnks for the lesson but whats the strumming rythm?

[LearnSongsNow]

@sammmiii13 Yes, it should work if you tune it two tones lower.
