Hey friends! Here´s a cool guitar lesson for beginners on How To Play Clocks By Coldplay On Guitar. With only three chords this is an easy and quick tune to pickup. This song is actually originally played on the piano, but Claude has transposed it to guitar. Enjoy!
Hey guys Claude Johnson here from Guitar Control. So we’re going to do an easy beginner lesson for you guys. Today we’re going to look at some chords from Coldplay, great band, a lot of great songs, so let’s take the song clocks which is one of the most famous toons. I have a really important message for the beginners out there so you know we turn on the song the first thing you’re going to hear is a piano riff it kind of sounded something like this. Alright so well number one you know just because it’s on the piano doesn’t mean you can’t translate it over the guitar, in fact almost all songs you can create a pretty believable arrangement just with your guitar. Now I can get into a whole lecture about the art of arranging and all that stuff basically it means coming up with something you know version of the song now whether you’re playing with a band or playing like solo acoustic guitar by yourself that’s going to influence an effect like what arrangement is more appropriate. Okay so but that’s not even one I want to talk about today. What I want to talk about is you can just totally ignore all that fancy, you know single note stuff. Okay you know I could go into a lesson about how I’m doing that with my right hand and but I’m not even going to do that, you know there’s other lessons that I have on fingerpicking all this stuff we’re justgoing to stick to basic chords so the moral of the story I’m a little long-winded here but you can just play this on with just strumming the basic chords.

So if we take away all the fluff in the mystery and the fanciness you’re left with basically an E major chord a B minor 7 chord another B minor 7 chord for the third bar and then F sharp minor all right. So if you’re not up to speed on these basic chords like how to play a barre chord go check out my beginner guitar course. It’s going to save you just a ton of time. Good guitar control calm / beginner, I really think you’re going to love it.
How To Play Clocks By Coldplay
Alright so you can see how that all just comes together sounds like a real song and you don’t need to do any fancy guitar playing the fancy picking just strum those basic chords. You never really any fancy strumming, easy stuff guys. I’ll see you, take care.In this Guitar Control lesson video instructor Shawn Daniel, will show you how to play “Cry, Cry, Cry” by Coldplay. A typical type of waltz that is very emotional but so very easy to play.
, with some chords outside of the key. The main part of the song is going to sound like this and has a really cool vibe.
First a capo is put on the first fret of all the chords, we are going to be talking about are going to be relative to the capo, so we are going to start with the g major chord, we’re hearing a g sharp or a flat major but still going to call it a g chord because it is relative to the capo. The
How To Play
Is our root note g point, your fingers are going to be the second fret on the a string, the ring finger is going to be the third fret on the b string. If you want to use another g major chord voicing that’s fine, we’re going to use one where the third fret on the b string, d note is on top.
Too if you want, it is pretty simple by thinking of counting to six or counting to three twice if that is easier kind of what gives us that swing that waltz time signature. This is a

That kind of gets and built up through because this is an acoustic guitar arrangement for a piano song; the root note will be kind of isolated by itself on that one count and as you had noticed for the next five hits.
I am working my way through the string set instead of getting all of them. Starting low and then getting a little higher with each one, we will pick one, two, three, four, five, six, one, two, three, four, five, six, to an e minor. Let us use the voicing where your middle finger is on the second fret of the a string, your ring finger is on the second fret of the d string. Now for this same difference, we will get the root note, the open e, and work our way through the chord. Now you will notice, because when we do it this way because it is so constant that one, two, three, four, five, six, do not give your hand a lot of time to go from one, two, three, four, five, six, one, two, three, it is really fast so what we are going to do is we are going to abandon the previous chord on the sixth count.
The way I have done this one, two, three, four, five, six, one, leaving it because it is just one split second essentially between the next chords, buying our hand time to get to that e minor chord one, two, three, four, five, six, one, two, three, four, five, six, one, two, and three.
Moving on to the next chords, the reason I want you to use the e minor and not like the one where you are pulling your finger leads the way is because we are going to go down to an a7, next is a really, easy, smooth transition from e minor to a7. This a7 is open on the a string. Our root note now two on the d string middle finger open g two on the b string with your ring finger and then open on the high e string. It’s really like an e minor down a string and then have your ring finger go down another string.
We are going to talk about strumming. The next chord is just down a string in your pointer finger. Jumps on the first fret of the b string, a d7 chord on the whole progression are g, e minor, a minor d7. When we apply the strumming, one thing that I like you to do is to palm the verses because this is one of the many songs where the verse and the chorus are in the same chord progression. But if you want to change the vibe up a little bit to have it sound different, we will do an acoustic version. I will take the side of my hand of chop near the bridge, and you can hear me working through the string set. If you really are focus on the length of my pick. Starting here and ending up down here, but never all the way down in one strum, I am starting low and exaggerating this, but you will get the idea anyway. When you get to the chorus, you can open it up, a couple of different ways to play the verse in the chorus.
Arrange it however you want to, especially if you are signing yourself or playing with another singer, use that palm to really create a lot of
L, to maybe deaden or lower the volume of the verse parts, you never want to be playing up here because you got nowhere to go but down, that’s most of the song does. But we have a really cool bridge that sounds like this.
Let us talk about a c major chord. First of all, traditional c major chord voicing will work just fine, ring finger third fret on the a string, middle finger second fret on the d string open g, pointer finger first fret on the b string we can strum it the same way one, two, three, four, five, six, if we are thinking of counting to six, if a bar is six we will do two bars each. In the first part, we will switch chords every six-count one, two, three, four, five, six, switch then switch. If a six-hole is a bar, we will switch every bar on the bridge. Two bars one, two, three, four, five, six, one, two, three, four, five, and six, again you can do it the same way throughout.
Let me go back to that d7 as we did before core charts have this sauce a d7 suspended. This means you take your ring finger away and make it open; in that case, have a c major. It might be true on the piano, but I think it
