Alright my little Coldplay fans, here we go.
We're going to learn Don't Panic off of Coldplay's
Parachutes album, first cut.
And a real easy song to play.
I know I say that all the time,
but it really is.
We're talking about just some open chords, really.
They even [B] helped
us out on this F chord.
[G] Not your typical F bar chord, but we'll get into that.
No need
for a capo.
If you're just playing this on the acoustic guitar, it's [F] going to sound
something like this.
[Am]
[C] [F] [Am]
[C] [F] [A] Okay, so let's talk about that.
It's real easy.
You see me looking off
to my right, I'm looking at the [N] chart here, which is available at YourGuitarStage.com.
And here we go.
So an F chord.
This is your basic F chord.
If you [F] don't know these open
chords, you've got to learn them.
Check out the website.
This is an F chord, but we're
not going to play it like [B] this.
We're going to play it, and it's actually an F major 7.
[C] And an F major [B] 7 is like this.
Putting these two fingers down, right there.
Second finger
is on the second fret of the third string, and first finger is on the first fret of the
second string.
And the E, high E is played open.
So your F chord is [F] actually
Okay,
now [B] I bring my thumb around here to mute that E string there.
And I'll talk about strumming
and all that in just a second here.
Let's just concentrate on the chord for [F] just a minute.
So here's our F chord.
And pretty much for the whole time, you can either play a full-on
F chord, or this version of the F chord, which you may know already.
[B] Basically it's this,
but I'm borrowing these two and muting that top [F] note up there.
So that's my F chord.
So
you can even play that one, or this one.
For you beginners, that's going to be easier.
And actually, [E] for this song, it sounds better.
So F major 7.
[N] On the chart it says an F, but
it's an F major 7.
Okay, so we're talking four beats per chord here.
The intro is going
to have four [F] bars of F.
So, 1, 2, 3, 4.
1, 2, 3, 4.
1, 2, 3, 4.
[Am] 1, 2, 3, 4.
First, A
minor, [C] C, [F] two bars of F.
And you [Am] repeat it.
A minor, [C] C, [F] F.
The chorus goes to a D minor,
[Dm]
two bars of F.
[Am] And A minor, [D] G, [Dm] D minor, [F] F major 7.
And then back to the verse.
Okay,
so let's talk about that for a second.
So, the chords we've got are F major 7.
[Am] Verse
is going to be A minor, [C]
C, [F] F major 7.
And it just [B] repeats that.
Chorus is going to be
D minor, A minor, G, D minor, [Dm] F.
So, D minor, G minor, [Am] A minor, [G] G.
[Dm] And then G minor, D
minor, [F] F major 7, F major [B] 7.
That's the [C#] chorus, right?
Looking at the chart here.
[C] That is
[B] the whole song.
Okay?
I mean, that is it.
Let's talk about the strumming for just a
[E] second.
What I like to do for this strumming part here [B] is I do a combination of mutes and
rakes.
[F] Raking is when you kind of rake across the strings instead of just a straight on
strum like staccato.
Kind [B] of gives it a Spanish feel to [F] it, if you will.
Alright, so, and
then I'm also doing some mutes.
So, what I'm doing is with the right hand, take the fleshy
part of your palm here, and you want to, when you hit a chord, you just kind of karate chop
[A] right on to the guitar.
It's really nothing more complicated or easier than that.
[F] So, hit a
chord, [F#] karate chop it with that part of your palm.
Now, of course, you're going to get
more [B] finesse at it [N] as you go on.
But, that's the basic technique there.
So, I'm doing [F] like
a, so I'm strumming, strumming kind of a, that's what I'm doing, I'm doing a down, up,
mute, up.
So, down, up, mute, up.
And I've got a.
Okay, as with all [E] these songs, play
them slow [B] at first.
That's what you got to do.
No one started off playing these songs
up to speed playing them fast.
No one.
Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, name any great guitar
player of our time that all started out where you started.
Slow and steady wins the race.
So, keep up, [C]
just keep up practicing and don't get discouraged.
It's just a matter of time
and a matter of [B] hours on the instrument.
Okay, that's about it on this one.
If you
have any questions about capos, chords, any of that good stuff, check out [D] yourguitarsage.com
and if you want [B] a chart to this song, check out [N] yourguitarsage.com to find out how you
can get a copy of it.
And until then, keep practicing [B]
and subscribe and keep checking.
We've got more videos coming.

We're going to play it, and it's actually an F major 7.
[C] And an F major [B] 7 is like this.
Putting these two fingers down, right there.
Second finger
is on the second fret of the third string, and first finger is on the first fret of the
second string.
And the E, high E is played open.
So your F chord is [F] actually
Okay,
now [B] I bring my thumb around here to mute that E string there.
And I'll talk about strumming
and all that in just a second here.
Let's just concentrate on the chord for [F] just a minute.

is going to be A minor, [C]
C, [F] F major 7.
And it just [B] repeats that.
Chorus is going to be
D minor, A minor, G, D minor, [Dm] F.
So, D minor, G minor, [Am] A minor, [G] G.
[Dm] And then G minor, D
minor, [F] F major 7, F major [B] 7.
That's the [C#] chorus, right?
Looking at the chart here.
[C] That is
[B] the whole song.
Okay?
I mean, that is it.
Let's talk about the strumming for just a
[E] second.
What I like to do for this strumming part here [B] is I do a combination of mutes and
rakes.
[F] Raking is when you kind of rake across the strings instead of just a straight on

It's really nothing more complicated or easier than that.
[F] So, hit a
chord, [F#] karate chop it with that part of your palm.
Now, of course, you're going to get
more [B] finesse at it [N] as you go on.
But, that's the basic technique there.
So, I'm doing [F] like
a, so I'm strumming, strumming kind of a, that's what I'm doing, I'm doing a down, up,
mute, up.
So, down, up, mute, up.
And I've got a.
Okay, as with all [E] these songs, play
them slow [B] at first.
That's what you got to do.
No one started off playing these songs
up to speed playing them fast.
No one.
