The Scientist - Coldplay
The song "The Scientist" is the second single from the British alternative rock band Coldplay's second album - A Rush of Blood to the Head. In class we will play this song with a capo at the 3rd fret. If the Bm7 chord is difficult for you, just replace it with a D chord. At first, keep the strum simple. Four down strums (one on each beat) is all you need. I suggest you download the song into your itunes (see link below). Here is a video you can practice with. I am strumming down on all four counts. In between the counts (the "and") I am hitting a bass note. On beat four I am playing Down, Down Up (4 and a).
