Hey everyone, I'm SO happy this one's finally out - first and foremost because it's been requested so much over the years. I hope it was worth the wait for all those who did request it :) Secondly, making this took so much longer than anticipated, since on top of all the usual everyday life (hehe...) stuff, Coronavirus caught up with me after having evaded it for all those years. I'm doing a lot better now (although still not nearly 100% recovered), so I really finally wanted to get this one out. Anyways, I'm pretty happy with how this vid turned out. It's such a cool acoustic song and works really well with just one guitar. That being said: it IS actually quite challenging! Beside "Sleeping Sun" probably the toughest one I've done on this channel. If you're trying to learn it, be sure to bring a lot of patience :D And make getting the picking patterns down first the priority. Good luck on it, lmk if you have any questions - and always bring on the requests :) Take care - J.

Your skills are great. Please upload your cool videos often in the future. I'm going to watch your precious video. An eventful year is drawing to a close. I watched the video made with a lot of passion and sincerity, and I am very grateful. We support you. I think it's a very happy thing to live life with your good channel. Happiness is already full in your video. I think you will receive a lot of love soon. Your video passing by an unknown mysterious algorithm caught my eye on my KZbin window. Just a thumbnail caught my eye, so I inadvertently and unexpectedly watched your video, but I like it the most and fall for the charm of your channel. In this way, the world of KZbin is so vast and vast, and in a fantastic space like the universe, I will not forget and cherish the relationship I met by chance with your video. It's such an honor to know such a noble person. Thank you for making it a pleasant day thanks to the feeling of approaching with a strange charm. Your video has the ability to make it wonderful and attractive in an instant. Your video with great talent is the best video. Even if it's just a passing relationship that I've never seen offline and don't know the name of, I'm grateful for the algorithm that I meet with your cool video in the online KZbin world. It's a cold winter here, but I'm very happy and happy to see your wonderful video. I'm happy that I finally found what I was looking for.

One of Coldplay’s most beautiful songs ever written. This has song has everything from peace to melancholy to hope. Thanks for sharing!

[@JoZeeland]

Agreed! So many emotions in there for such a short track. Thank you for watching :) Take care - Jo

[@CarloPizzutiChannel]

11 years after this song was released, finally a perfect tutorial! Thank you so much Jo!

[@JoZeeland]

Hey Carlo! Thank you so much :) Yeah, this one's a beast, really challenging. It took me a while to figure out all the nuances. But it's really fun to play once you've mastered it. Anyways, I'm glad you found this helpful, thank you for your support! All the best - Jo

@Jo Zeeland you absolutely did! I wanted to learn this the correct way for a long time and now I finally can, so thank you!

[@JoZeeland]

@@Coldplaykb Hey that's so good to hear! This one's amazing to play once the picking pattern(s) have become intuitive to you :) Have fun with it!

[@JoZeeland]

Heyyy Andres that's so awesome to hear :) :) Welcome back to the world of guitars 😄😄 Stoked to hear that this tuto inspired you to pick up the guitar again! Enjoy playing and let me know whenever you have questions about this video or other ones on the channel :) All the best to you and best of luck 🍀 Jo

[@someonewithnumber8443]

Yesss! I used to play it in simple chords but now I can learn how to play it in original way. It seems challenging but sounds lovely! Thanks for the tutorial Jo. 👍

[@JoZeeland]

Hey there, thank you so much :) Yeah, it is quite challenging for sure. Took me a while to get it down, too...the key for me really was learning the two different picking patterns - once that's become second nature, the song is a joy to play :) Good luck! Jo

[@djproto5674]

[@aarshay]

This video dropped as a surprise for me as I've been waiting for this tutorial for so long. I used to play this in E G D G D E but this definitely sounds better and more accurate.

[@JoZeeland]

Hey nice - thank you :) Yeah, it really is kind of tricky. It helped me a lot to check out the instrumental version of the song that's flying around on YT. In the original, with the voice, quite a lot of the guitar parts get buried under the vocal track.

[@zerovex6187]

Simply gorgeous. One of my favourites!

[@JoZeeland]

Thank you :) Yeah, same. It's such an underrated Coldplay tune!

[@micbernard7140]

Superbe interprétation Jo 👍 j’y retrouve l’original. De plus, ta tessiture est proche de celle de CM. Un grand bravo et merci pour ce partage 👍👏👏👏

[@jesper147]

Brilliant video once again Jo, and thanks for making me fall in love with this masterpiece all over again. You're definitely the best guitar channel out there. Also, I think it'd be interesting to do a video about Coldplay's alternative tunings. It obviously seems impossible to include every song but just an overview of some of them. I know you have a tight schedule but it's just a suggestion. And also, do you plan to ever make tutorials with electric guitars? I notice you barely have them and I think some Coldplay songs are great on electric guitar.

[@JoZeeland]

Hey Jesper! Thank you so much for your very nice comment + I always appreciate requests :) I've already planned quite a few videos that will take the direction that you've suggested - it's good to know there's people out there like you who'd be interested in watching them (i.e. more general videos about tunings, playing styles, pickings etc.) Regarding electric guitars: Also definitely something I want to start doing at some point! No concrete plans there, but definitely something I'd love to get into more. Thanks again for your support, stay safe and take care - Jo

[@JoZeeland]

Hey thanks so much! Glad to hear my tutorial helped you learn the song - nice 😄 I just use the string samples that come with the default libraries in Logic Pro X. They're pretty decent if you're just looking for nice background strings like in this arrangement! Let me know if you want more information on this :) Keep it up and all the best to you - Jo

[@rece.w]

Great cover as always Jo! I was wondering, what mix setup do you use for your vocals and guitar?

[@JoZeeland]

Hey Rece, thank you so much :) Glad you're enjoying my cover. As for mics in this video, I used an AKG Perception 220 + the built-in pickup of the guitar. Those two go into a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 interface. For recording software, I use Logic Pro X with some basic reverb, delay, EQ and compressor effects :) Hope this helps! And let me know if you have any other questions about my setup. Have a great day - Jo

[@rece.w]

@@JoZeeland wow thank you for the response, much appreciated! What pop filter do you use for your setup? I’ve been “getting by” with just a Blue Yeti mic for my guitar and vocals but it seems to always create some sort of weird sound whenever I’m recording vocals for my little covers on Instagram. Soooo I figured I would look for something new! Plus, I could use a better quality mic for recording guitar for my band too so this could possibly be a good choice!

[@JoZeeland]

@@rece.w Hey no problem - anytime :) I've been using a K&M 23956 pop filter for a year or two. Nothing too crazy, pretty cheap, but hasn't let me down so far! As for mics, I've never used anything other than AKG, really. I've had this one for well over ten years now - can really recommend 🙂
