What do U guys think about this? I think this is a done deal. How did coldplay think they would get away with this? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

But Satch probably has a case if music copyrights mean anything. I don't think that makes him a bad guy. Parts of both tunes are very similar.

Coldplay aren't hacks, they are serious musicians, and honestly, I think satch is a little too sensitive about this, That's a common chord progression, very easy for the songs to sound similiar. honestly, ive lost some respect for Satch from this, i mean, he's coming off as a little sore, maybe because coldplay sells out arenas and he doesent? Regardless, both satch and coldplay write great songs, and i wish they would just let this go. Its not doing anyone any favors. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Maybe they should have done what all others do.. Ask him first if they can "borrow" the melody on legal copyright.. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Coz Satch is not going to be a less wonderful musician by making a fuss about it and Coldplay will keep on filling concert halls all over the world even after this issue. Same melody, different context. I And its not fair to compare the Satch and Coldplay. I'll continue to listen to both without any loss of respect. Since melodies do not belong to anyone and you can't possess a chord progression. This is about industry and money. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

What if you or me happen to write something which sounds like someone else's song, and if you then get sued..?! Better stop writing music Or what if Paul Gilbert sues me for a pattern I thought invented Oh I forgot, no one will sue you unless you make millions of dollars from the song, we're safe You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
