I can't stop thinking of Jonny singing. Great vid Jo/Jonny.

😂 Thanks for watching, I really appreciate it :)

El mejor cover y tutorial por mucho que he visto de esta canción. Grande Joe

[@JoZeeland]

Muchas gracias :)

[@griffinshute2309]

Thanks for the tutorial Joe! Always trying to find Coldplay lessons with the ACTUAL tuning. Would you consider doing Ghost Story from the Sky Full Of Stars EP next?

[@JoZeeland]

Oooh that's a good one!! Putting it on my list for upcoming videos :)

[@amjhd23]

Beatiful work! This one's on my list to learn. I gotta see them live again as well👍

Awesome cover song and great tutorial Jo :)

[@debiaichir2761]

That piano part gave chilled to my knees ... I don't know about u guys But man it's so good that I listened it with my volume high twice . Acoustic sounds always good on Coldplay songs I don't know why

[@FernandoMorales-we6rm]

wuuu finally what a great video I will take it as my birthday present thank you very much the video and the cover 10 of 10 is incredible

Amazing as always Joe! I hope You the best! I love Charlie Brown, thank You so much.

[@coldplayaddict2581]

Wow Jo! that's exactly the right tuning and chords! Keep up the good work

[@JoZeeland]

Thank you, Gabriel :) More tutorials (probably from the X&Y era) are in the works. Have a good one!

[@coldplayaddict2581]

@@JoZeeland Thanks for your reply! I'd suggest doing Fix You (2020 Alter Ego version). The tuning is the same as Til Kingdom Come but Capo 2 (CACGBC I think). Chords can be seen clearly in the live performance video. Keep em coming man!

[@FernandoMorales-we6rm]

@@coldplayaddict2581 I confirm I think we should do everything possible to get that version of Fix You on acoustic guitar and not forget why it is good

wow excellent cover very cool and good tutorial sums I had found a more complete tutorial than this thank you very much I have a small question and I hope someone can solve it for me something in knows what keyboard effect or what they used to record the intro of Charlie Brown ???

[@JoZeeland]

Thank you so much :) I made the sample in the intro myself, using vocals and just a bunch of effects.

Thank you so much :)

[@ulygaray]

thank you a lot for the tutorial. i think this is the most detailed one on youtube. but you should explain the strumming pattern exactly how it was.. could be so so better the video. it's really hard to get the pattern.

[@JoZeeland]

Hey there! Thank you for your comment :) I appreciate the constructive criticism. I struggle to explain strumming patterns, that's true. I'll try to be more detailed in that respect in the future - definitely will be very precise when I explain the picking pattern in my next tutorial for "Sleeping Sun" :) Cheers Jo

[@AdamGraham-11]

Amazing job! Just wondering how you put those sounds over each other like the way you play all the parts individually and put them together for the cover. Thanks 😊 I'd love to try it out

[@JoZeeland]

@@AdamGraham-11 Hey there! Thank you :) Glad to hear you like my recording! I use Logic Pro X for multi-track recording and production. It's a little expensive though and only available on Apple products. If you do have a Mac/iPad etc. you can also try the "free" light version of it, Garageband, which I also used for a very long time. It has the same basic features as well. Let me know if you need more info on recording gear and equipment! Thank you once again and all the best - Jo

[@AdamGraham-11]

@JoZeeland helpful as always bro 👊. I just tried and I can't seem to get garageband. I think its because im on an android phone. But I might be able to try and get a cheaper alternative to the logic pro x. Thanks again for your help and please keep doing what your doing 😊

[@AdamGraham-11]

​@JoZeeland Thank you so much for your help bro. I starting to plan a mini home studio! You've been my inspiration to do this. And I'm so grateful for your responses 🙏. If you have any tips for me please share😊. I'm just wondering if you would recommend any microphone? Thank you so much for all your help. I'm sorry to be asking so many questions 😅

[@JoZeeland]

@@AdamGraham-11 Hey that's so awesome!! So happy to be an inspiration for home recording. It's my biggest passion, has been for 20 years now :) I've only ever used AKG mics for acoustic guitars and vocals, AKG P220, to be exact. It's a pretty old model at this point, I'm sure there's an updated version now. It's probably not even that great, but I've been using it for over 10 years now and it still works, so it's definitely enduring 😁 And don't worry about it, just ask away! Glad to be of help :) Good luck, have fun and all the best to you - Jo

Lindo demais, parabéns !!!!!

Muito obrigado :)

[@piyushmajli1169]

Have you listened to "Moving to Mars" from this album? Always wanted to learn that one. Can you give it a go?

[@JoZeeland]

Oh yeah! That one has a nice acoustic guitar, too - standard tuning, if I remember correctly :) Definitely possible to get that one out at some point between bigger projects, since that acoustic part is pretty short and not too complex. So stay tuned! And thank you for the request :) Take care Jo

I don’t think they play Charlie Brown anymore In the Coldplay music of the spheres but it is still worth going to

[@jaredbermudez5706]

They play it a lot in fact its in all their concerts brother!!

[@nabilhassan6078]

They play in Singapore Shows

[@omarperez6192]

I saw them play it live in San Diego last September! I had goosebumps the whole time!!

[@0Dylan_07]

I was there Friday they played it and I was there last night and they didn’t it I think it’s just time management if there doing extra things they take it out and stuff

[@rohandey9433]

I suggest you start wearing Johnny Buckland Cap You kinda look like him XD Amazing cover though ❤️💯🎸

Hey Jo, what piano model do you use for your covers?

[@JoZeeland]

Hey there! I usually use my Roland FP 7 with the default piano sound. Very rarely, I will use a sample from the Logic sound library. For this one, it was all Roland FP 7 though :)

[@coldplayaddict2581]

@@JoZeeland it's titled 'Coldplay - Coloratura (Chris Martin's MOTS Piano Sound)'. Enjoy! ;)

Joe Do you think you could pass me the base of the battery you used? I would appreciate it very much 😊

I'm afraid I'm not sure what you mean by base of the battery. If you clarify, I'll gladly provide you with the info 😅

If you mean amps, I use all digital amps in Garageband for bass and electric guitars ('11 version). Hope this helps!

@@JoZeeland is that your cover sounds like a battery and I would like to see if you could pass me the audio of that battery that you occupied or can you tell me how you did it, I would appreciate it very much

Hi max

[@aaronvogel6264]

The tuning sounds like the tuning of Yellow.

[@JoZeeland]

@@aaronvogel6264 Yeah! I totally see your point, especially with the two high strings and them ringing open the whole time: In both songs, they form the major third of the home chord to the key which the songs are in (B major and Bb major, respectively) Good catch! Thank you once again 🙂 Jo
