So here is my second beginners lesson: This time I went with Coldplay’s Don’t Panic. Most of Coldplay’s songs are tough for beginners, but this one is manageable when you break it down.

Please rate and comment, so I can improve my lessons/playing…

here are the chords and lyrics:

Verse:
Am C Fmaj7 (x2)

Chorus:
Dm (x2) Am (x2) Dm (x2) Am G

Lyrics:
Bones, sinking like stones,
All that we fought for,
Homes, places we’ve grown,
All of us are done for.

And we live in a beautiful world,
Yeah we do, yeah we do,
We live in a beautiful world,

Bones, sinking like stones,
All that we fought for,
And homes, places we’ve grown,
All of us are done for.

And we live in a beautiful world,
Yeah we do, yeah we do,
We live in a beautiful world.

Here we go, here we go

And we live in a beautiful world,
Yeah we do, yeah we do,
We live in a beautiful world.

Oh, all that I know,
There’s nothing here to run from,
‘Cause everybody here’s got somebody to lean on.

The Bass Master himself teaches a little of his playing technique in this “fair use” excerpt from a promo vid for his latest album (you can buy the full video at nowplayit.com).

I think it’s interesting because of the closeups showing his fingering style.

Also interesting I think is even though it’s “very simple” root notes, he still slips in little flourishes to give it some shape, like at 00:51 where he goes C-”F”-D (instead of straight C-D), and how he slides down from F-E at 01:07 keeping the string open instead of muffled like the rest.

The most interesting part though I think is his discussion at 02:27 of how he was “tempted” to put in “fiddly bits” at the one part — jumping up an octave — and why you might do that if you’re feeling “adventurous.” I guess that’s what musicianship is all about, when to do things like that and when to show restraint (he didn’t do it in the final mix).
