    Chris Martin and the gang watching this video as they work on the next album: Pause it right there!! Write that down!! Write that down!!
  • Paul- your editing and teaching skills are simply world-class. Thank you!
  • @ryleuty
    The fact that you've already created so many videos covering the chords numbers and STILL take a moment to briefly explain it is what makes you such a great resource. If you're looking for a good online course - get Pauls.

    I’d love to see some Radiohead broken down this way. They have even more fun with it by borrowing chords. Muse does too to some degree.
  • @xliquidflames
    "It's the diatonics, the chords made of all the notes in the scale." That sentence just unlocked something in my brain for some reason. I'm starting to understand for the first time how keys, scales, and chords are related to one another. I spent an hour comparing the Amaj scale to the chords you had on screen. It's all staring to make sense now. Don't ask my why it was that sentence and this video to finally make it click but... thank you.
  • @kanesanders6669
    Paul's voice is so soothing and his video are so beautifully shot and edited.
  • You're a great presence on the internet, Paul Davids. A great teacher, a great player, and your tone is just so lush and lovely. Thank you.
  • @allayish5887
    You're not only teaching us how to play music You're conveying the feeling of the scale and making us attached to it so beautifully
  • @arn999
    After hearing Chris Martin talk about his song writing process, dude is gifted, has a basic understanding of theory but really doesn't shy away from just going with what sounds good without knowing how it's technically supposed to make sense. As is the case with many rock/pop musicians of course.
  • @l.g.5899
    Can't understand why Paul's guitar sound is ALWAYS the best I can imagine for what he's doing... Bravo Paul!
  • @BettoniFerreira
    I was having a terribly bad day today, but YT recommended this video, and as always, it made me feel better, mate, thanks! Your lessons are the best!
  • @rackhamlerouge
    Love how Paul makes these concepts accessible to anyone, simple plain words of English to introduce the Lydian mode… Almost without saying it! Top notch teaching here sir
  • @philatwood2086
    I don't play any instrument, but your lessons help me better hear and appreciate the richness and talent put into these songs. I now hear them in a new way. That's why I subscribed. Thanks for that.
  • I really love how you peppered in the isolated vocal tracks to your chords to bring context. Not easy I’m sure, but so brilliant!
  • @traviscole6143
    This is one of the best videos I have seen to date that explains Western music theory in relation to chords, the Nashville number system, and Coldplay’s signature move to start on the IV chord. Thank you so much for making this!
  • @Dimensionaut_
    very interesting starting with the IV chord. also, amazing teaching with authentic passion. always appreciate your videos
  • @druidavey
    It's something I've noticed over the years, how the Coldplay style of chord arrangements, giving that 'celebratory' kind of sound has influenced a lot of music that we use in corporate videos production for TV adverts etc. It's brightened things up considerably from the old fashion corporate video music of 15-20 years ago. Great video Paul. many thanks
