Hey, what's up guys?
It's Jen from Mahalo.com and we are gonna learn how to play clocks from Coldplay
_ Great beginner song I highly recommend it highly recommend it for any beginner
The key is to get the rhythm down which is a little bit tricky, but chords wise
You're gonna be good to go so
Let's get started.
I keep saying [F] that let's get it, and then it makes me want to sing black-eyed peas
Let's [Gm] get it started in here.
We're not learning that song.
We're learning Coldplay focus Jen.
Thank you [Ab] capo first fret
[Eb] D major
_ [Bbm] _ to a minor
stay on a minor
[Fm] to e minor
_ Now the tricky thing with this is the rhythm.
[Eb] It's the Coldplay rhythm
It's what they're known for
one and two and three and four [Bbm] and one and two and three and four and one and two and three
And [Fm] four and one and two and three and four and so that's accenting so we're accenting
Accenting with our [Eb] right hand one and two and three and four [Bbm] and one
two and three and four and stand a minor two and three and four [Fm] and one and
Two and three and four and [F] okay, [Eb] so let's take it up to speed
_ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ _
That sounds [Fm] more like the song right [Eb] you _ _
[Bbm] _ _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _
[Eb] can play this song at [Bbm] parties and
_ People will think wow
[Fm] You're incredible, [Eb] and that's pretty much why we play [Bb] guitar right so that people will think we're incredible
[F] Is that just me?
_ [Eb] one and two and three and [Bbm] four and a minor
_ _ _ [Fm] _ _
_ [F] Here's a great thing about this song called [C] clocks by Coldplay is
That is pretty much the entire thing there.
That's the that's the intro.
That's the verse
That's the chorus the only time it changes is when he goes to when he starts singing nothing else compares
And the chords for [Gb] that are F
Which is a bar chord which is not not great for beginners, but we can do this little F right here
Just _ [Bbm]
make sure you're not hitting the first string you don't want that
[Gb] I'll do the big the big F
But you can do this little one it is [Db] fine
It's actually if you need a little help with that
Grab your C chord and just move your [Bb] middle finger down [Gb] and your third finger down and you have F
So use that [Ab] actually
For this [Gb] video since we're doing beginner style.
Let's do this small F
So when he starts singing nothing else compares go to the F
Two three four one two three four [Eb] now
We're going to see so just move these two fingers up, so there's your F
_ [Db] There's your C
_ _ _ [Ab] Then G
So let's check that out again, [Gb] so F
three four one two [Db] three four _
_ [Ab] G
_ [Gb] _ _ _ _
_ [Db] _ _ [Ab] _ Get [Gb] that rhythm
And three and four and three and [Db] four and three [Ab] and four _
_ [Gb] _ _ _ _ _ [Db] Let's [Ab] go back to the verse one two three [Eb] four D
_ [Bbm] _ _
_ _ [Fm] E minor
_ _ [Eb] _ _
[Bbm] _ _ _ E minor [Fm] now the end let's just [Eb] do whole notes
_ [Bbm] _ We're just supporting the piano at this point the [Fm] _ pianos playing the main [Eb] line
_ [Bbm] _ _ _
_ Three [Fm] four one two three [Eb] four
There's your two parts cool thing is is I know for a fact that they're bringing in a keyboard player
To teach you how to play clocks if you're interested in playing the piano.
I know this for a fact
I have inside information to Mahalo.com and
So if you're interested in learning how to play the piano part to this you will see that video
Probably when they upload this one
So you can you can you can play with that on the guitar?
And you can see how they how both parts fit together, or if you just want to play piano
Coldplay has great piano songs
Or they translate well the piano because I think that's what he mainly writes on this piano
_ Mahalo.com giving you everything you need to be a rock star I
