Coldplay - Yellow guitar lesson
Chord charts and the backing track are available to my Patrons. If you find my videos useful, please consider supporting me: http://www.patreon.com/LeftHandedGuitarist
These videos are designed for guitar beginners or those with only limited guitar knowledge. They use simple chord shapes as much as possible and do not necessarily represent the way in which the song was originally played. They are designed as practice tools to supplement your other learning methods. Information is provided on screen for both right and left-handed players!
Originally, this song was played with the guitars in an altered tuning, and this easy version allows you to play the song without having to worry about that. The chords Cmaj7 and Dm11 have big, scary sounding names, but are very simple shapes.
The Gsus4 chord can be a little tricky, and is completely optional. I threw it in there just to spice things up a bit. To make the transition to it requires the G major chord to use a slightly different fingering, as shown in the video.
