Clock's (Coldplay) arranged for banjo by Ryan Madiar

This is my orignal arrangement of the Coldplay song "Clock's" for banjo and vocal. As far as I know, no one else has done an arrangement for banjo and vocals of this song to date. So as far as I can tell, I'm the first to do this. It feels pretty good to be the first.

I reactivated my account just to say this was the most amazing video ever. I am totally jealous of this because Ive had my banjo for more than two years and havent learned anything. I really want Clocks to be the first song I learn ( crazy, I know). If you ever get the time, a tutorial of this song would be much appreciated.

Love the video! I just wish I could find some tabs for it, I managed to figure out a little bit of it from this video, but after the second "chord" you lost me! How long have you been playing banjo?

@Lima5Chime I've been playing banjo on and off for a few years. I'm self-taught, and to help myself learn banjo I just take song's I like and arrange them in a manner so it sounds like banjo music and not a note for note copy of a song. The key to learning this is to have a capo on the first fret. Also the high string ( G string) needs to be a B flat. I accomplish that by having the string under the spike at the 7th fret to make the G a B and then tune it down half a step to B flat.

@Lima5Chime You might also like the arrangement for "Trouble" that I came up with. That's in standard G tuning.
