I remember years ago desperately waiting for Guitar Player's next magazine release. Absorbing all the riffs and tablature of great tunes. Now its a click of a button. Kids are sure lucky today. Great work.

[@Xavieus]

I'm 24 and have no idea how people taught themselves guitar pre-internet! Even when I tried learning electric guitar at 10 (did not last long, did not have patience 😂) I was looking up videos and tabs online but it was nothing like it is now. Thanks for sharing that!

[@prayangurung7546]

The only reason I can play guitar so good is all because of this guy. I love the way he explains each an every thing man.. I even tell my friends when they ask me like how to learn this song and all.. Then I send the videos of you.. Like I find your videos very helpful and I enjoy practicing the songs in the demonstration part.. Keep making new songs tutorials and encouraging too all the guitar players including me 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@GuitarZero2Hero]

Thank you so much mate ❤️

[@vijayantpratap7315]

Yesss!!!!!, exactly a month ago I watched that Chris Martin video on the Howard Stern show, got hooked on how he plays it, tried replicating but couldn't, tried some beginner tutorials but they were just not enough and now this. Thanks Dave, you are an Angel.

[@GuitarZero2Hero]

You’re welcome! This was based off his Howard stern performance too! 😊

[@santiagov4437]

Oh man, I couldn't be more grateful to you for sharing the CORRECT way of tuning and playing this one. I was almost driving crazy with people on youtube saying they got the "correct" way when the finger shapes they've shared had nothing to do with what I saw Chris Martin play. And the same regarding very subtle tone (but annoying) differences due to the wrong tuning. You definitely won a new subscriber. Thanks a million. And everything so clear with all the parts separated and to the point. And even an easy version for the ones who don't mind playing it exactly as him like me. What else could you ask for? You totally rock. Thanks again!

[@GuitarZero2Hero]

My pleasure mate!

[@LieberLois]

I loved your video, since i couldnt figure out the tuning! Personally, i would recommend referencing the actual chords for example the E-major (second chord in chorus if it were standard tuning) in a moved D-Shape! Might help some people here ^^

[@PauloLimaFS]

You guys can put a capo in the 1st fret and play C D9(11) [just go 2 frets up in the fretboard with the C] G and Em

[@lieutenantphatman4834]

This is awesome been trying to learn this since the Howard stern show this is amazing!!!

[@jonathanhill641]

Great job! Only small correction is that on the Howard Stern performance he uses 244300 to 244200 for the last chord of the Chorus.

[@Kwame_Baroown]

There's so many versions of this on youtube but i immediately recognized this as the version chris martin played live on the Howard Stern show. Awesome tutorial!!

Good heavens; that's a $3,500 (Cdn) guitar you're playing. so I imagine it's similar in Australia. It's beautiful. Nice to know about Cole Clark guitars but these are definitely a step up from the basic range of guitars, phew.

Thank you so much! I've been trying to learn this, but had so much trouble getting a proper sound on the D, but I was also playing a regular D, rather than the version you show here. It sounds SOOO much better, and also a way easier switch, which is great as I've only been playing for around 6 months. Love the concept, especially the play throughs at the end with vocal aswell. Awesome job!

[@aengusschulte6634]

Hey Dave! Thanks for the wonderful videos; they've inspired me to take up the guitar again. I was wondering if you could do a lesson on "Playing On My Mind", from the 1975's new album? It's a beautiful song, and I'd love to be able to play it.

[@cristiangira9987]

HOLYYY. I swear, i watched again that live yersterday and wanted to play the same way Chris plays it. There was a single tutorial online that showed us how to play the song that way but that tuning hurts my strings. Jumping out of bed and going straight to learn it. Thank you :). Of yea, wanted to ask you somethin'. In the future you plan doing a tutorial on Hotel California ?

[@GuitarZero2Hero]

Haha yeh I teach that detuned method too, it does sound better! But there's also a nice simple way too :) Yes that's coming in the future

[@lordringwraith]

Awesome Lesson!!! Helped me out some much. You Rock!

[@thethingthatshouldnotbe3035]

Cool video man! Now for those of you who dont have a capo and/or dont want to fuck around with tuning (like when youre randomly handed a guitar and asked to play sth) and can afford to sing it a half step higher (if you have trouble with that, go practice your ass off or just take the octave below that. Like lazy people. People like me.): You can combine the live riff with the easy chords and just play it in standard. Transposed chord progression would be | D E | A F#min | (all open except for the F#min, which would be a 2nd fret Emin barre chord); have fun!
