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 UA-cam 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 UA-cam 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 UA-cam 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.
@@DSKim-ej5uf Hello there! Thank you so much for your meaning- and thoughtful comment. I enjoyed reading it and really appreciate it. I'm happy to make other people happy 💐 May our paths cross again in these digital spheres 😊 Jo
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
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. 👍
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
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I had stopped playing guitar for a long time and this made me come back to it and I couldn't be happier, what a beautiful song!!
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
Jo I hope you realize how helpful and amazing you are. I’m very grateful for you and these tutorials and I hope that you are always so happy and prosperous My prayers and best wishes for you, please keep being awesome
Hello Abdulmalek! Thank you so much for your very kind words - I'm really happy to hear you find my videos helpful :) I enjoy making them, so it really is a win-win situation 🙂 All the best to you as well! I'll try to keep it up as long as I can - Jo
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.
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
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.
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.
Merci beaucoup! J'apprécie ton support continu :) En ce moment, malheureusement, j'ai perdu ma voix à cause de Covid, mais je suis optimiste qu'elle retournera à l'avenir. Merci encore une fois et à bientôt sur UA-cam - Jo
Hello Jo! Hope you’re getting better! ❤️🩹 I hope you reed this one and I have a very important request besides Strawberry Swing. Can you please do Up with the Birds? Please? 🥹🫶. Get well soon!
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
@@ignaciorourke19 Hey thank you so much for coming back :) I've been putting out so many Coldplay videos I almost forgot about this one 😅 So thanks for reminding me, haha... I have great memories of shooting the outdoor material for this one :) Take care and have a great weekend - Jo
@@jasonlai8618 Thank you! Me too, to be honest :) Excited to get working on it. I want to be back to 100% health for that one though, since it's also a pretty challenging song - and arguably one of the biggest Coldplay songs! So I really want to do it justice.
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
@@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!
@@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 🙂
That's a good one! I'm going to do a poll on a future video soon and I think I'll include Clocks acoustic in it :) Be sure to check out the poll in a few weeks time if you have the YT-app on your phone 👍 All the best - Jo
One of Coldplay’s most beautiful songs ever written. This has song has everything from peace to melancholy to hope. Thanks for sharing!
Agreed! So many emotions in there for such a short track.
Thank you for watching :) Take care - Jo

Thank you, Kyle :) It took a while, but finally it's out - and I'm glad to hear you think I did it justice!
@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!
@@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!

What an underrated Coldplay song. Sad we'll probably never get to hear it live...

Wow keren banget bang joe, jadi pengen bisa main gitar :)

Will you do a Christmas Lights cover this year?
Probably not, I'm afraid :( But I'll keep it in mind for next year! Take care :) Jo
You seems a bit to Valteri Bottas (driver in Formula 1) haha
Hadn't heard of him before - but just googled him and yes, I do see the similarity 😅 Fair point 😁
ABOUT F****** TIMEEEE
please do clocks acoustic
That's a good one!

Ya solo falto la parte final donde hace los armonicos
Solo toca las alta E y B cuerdas en el 7 y 12 traste.
