Thought this was very interesting.....
A good take and I think he just might know what the hell he is talking about.
Do I think Coldplay sat down and said, "Let's steal this song!" Probably not.... I hope not. I dont really like their "pop" music and I am thinking that they played ignorant and arrogant. Reminds me of Oasis... Lame.....
Check the link. Good accurate info I think.

I said this on my last post:
...I think the musical aspect can very much be justified as a copy, now the intention is always tricky... the melody is there, VLV is built on that theme and then it has many variations that take place in order to accommodate the lyrics... we have melody, rhythm and ( I haven't analyzed the chord voicings used on CP's song, the progression is the same) possibly harmony been way too similar...
it looks like somebody beat me to proving it... thanks to whoever posted this... in case you missed it, Did Coldplay copy Joe Satriani? Let's Do the Music Theory...
As stated in the video, the harmony is there, too... that's three out of three... I did not elaborate on the rhythm, but this guy did it for me, too (thanks, dude!)... the feel is the same, the tempo, pretty much there, too... too many things being too similar, it looks fishy if you ask me!
now, all musicians out there, back me up on this... would you say most of CP's hits have a "two feel"? I am not a fan of theirs, but I have been exposed to their music, (hello they're mainstream!) I'd even go on a dare and say the "two feel" could be considered part of their signature sound!!! All of the sudden, this new hit has an upbeat overall "four feel" and on top of that, shares almost every single musical component with a song JOE released 4 years ago... It's something to consider, definitely... ] A quick search on youtube helped me determine that they do have an overall two feel... "Clocks", "Fix You", "Trouble", "Speed of Sound", all of those can fit into that category...
For those who don't study music, a "two feel" is basically when you have a song that has, in this case in particular, four beats per measure (you know when they drummer counts 1, 2, 3, 4... it's like 95%of the music you hear on the radio), but the musicians accent beats one and three, so the overall feeling is that the tune has only TWO beats per measure ... example
you have four beats, like this:
1...2...3...4...
but they play it like this
ONE...two...THREE...four...
As a result, the melody feels more relaxed, it has more space and room to breathe... Granted, a lot of ballads have this feel, but this band has made its name and built its reputation upon this foundation... Going out of that comfort zone in a song that has arguably way too many components of another song already just does not help their case... my 2 cents...

The problem with the music theory vid from creativeguitars is he only shows why the chord progressions are similar (and tempo/meter are the same) NONE OF WHICH IS COPYRIGHT PROTECTED MATERIAL. What makes Joe's case is the MELODY, and I've yet to see someone write it out note for note in standard time signature treble clef fashion. I've noticed slight variances between the two, but I do think Joe's case is extremely solid or else the lawsuit would not have been pursued by Our Hero.
Totally with you, Joe!
...peace2all...
~Faye
p.s. and he states verbally the melodies differ and he was corrected in the comments so he takes it back there in the comments section.

SupaaDupaaDave, make sure you ask for generic drugs. They'll prolly give you an antibiotic. Just make sure they don't prescribe you any Mycoxafloppin. Yer tonsils won't be the only unhappy thing.

maritime: you are very generous. How much do the cds cost where you are, how can you afford to buy cds and send them to the less fortunate?
Joe and the T2J guys (and of course, the legendary T2J girls) : There are 2 things absolutely positive that have come of the Coldplay thing:
1) A helovalot more people know who Joe is... "Any publicity is good publicity" and...
2) a lot more people are getting interested and being exposed to a lot more music theory and it's meaning/applicability/etc..

Chadley1234Chadley5678 - It was a bit of fun, nothing more. Perhaps you might like to try finding a sense of humour. Oh yeah, and if you're going to try to insult me please find someone with a little intelligence who can advise you how to do it properly. Sorry you took it the wrong way, I though you understood where I was coming from. My bad.

And "moe batriani" must be due to the batty moustache laden interviewer on the Satriani podcasts, who seems to have several interchangeable accents - he must be a real word traveler.
