👉 Learn Clocks by Coldplay on guitar! We’ll start with D, Am and Em, a capo at fret 1, and simple strumming to get you playing along. Then we’ll explore the bridge, easier F-chord options, and the accents that bring the rhythm closer to the recording. 💡 Start with one strum per bar and build it up at your own pace. If you fancy an extra challenge, I’ll also show you how to play that famous piano riff on guitar!
