"Fix You" Easy Guitar Tutorial | Coldplay - Simple Chords & Strumming

Hey everyone! This week we’re going to show you all how to play “Fix You” by Coldplay. This is a pretty easy lesson, aside from the F barre chord (which can definitely be a challenge!) But don’t worry… we show you an easy way to play the F chord, as a substitute for the real thing, so you can play this tune no matter what your level.
---
Throughout the video I mention our free eBook, which is free to our subscribers. You can find that on our site - goodguitarist.c...
---
We begin with the verse, and the chords for the verse are: C, Em, G, Am. These are all pretty basic and as we move on, we practice switching between them all, along to the song, using downstrokes only - this way we can focus on making nice, clean chord switches.
After that, we show you how to play the strumming pattern which is, on a rhythmic level, quite basic. It’s included in our eBook as one of the 6 essential strumming patterns (you can find a video for it, too, on the same page).
From there we tackle the F chord in a couple different ways (an easy way, and a barre’d way 😉 and work out the Chorus and Bridge. And that’s it!
I hope you enjoy the lesson and I’ll see you next week!
James

Hey everyone! Hope you're enjoying the lesson. For next week's lesson I'm thinking of either doing Valerie (the Amy Winehouse version) or Summer of 69, by Bryan Adams. Let me know which one you want to learn next week!

[@vertail22]

It was would cool if you filmed another video, either separate or after all the instructions of how to play, showing how to play the entire song. After learning te individual parts.

[@Good_Guitarist]

Hey Graeme, I did start doing this, but since I am 100% doing these videos independently (the filming, editing, etc) I don't always have time for these.

[@MinecraftGamer-xi4bm]

[@barryemerson3526]

It means you play the same chord that you just played.
