      I listened to both tunes by themselves and can see Satch's side. But check this one out- Not sure if this guy messed with it a bit, but if he didn't, my gosh, this is blatant. The vocal line follows Satch nearly exactly.

          with the two tunes combined, it could have been straight off one of those crappy Santana duets albums!

                Cold Play = Really Gay

                They should write satch a check and throw his guitar in there to keep the public from puking

                  I wish upon them a morbid demise. like choking to death on chicken McNuggets..dipped in honey mustard sauce for that extra "zip"..

                  The world would be a MUCH better place without bands such as Coldplay..I think!!!

                    I doubt Coldplay copied the song, as I doubt they're Satriani fans.

                    The progressions are identical and the first three notes of the melody are the same. That's it. I don't think Satch has a case.

                      I can see satch's point, but really this kind of thing is silly.

                      That progression, pattern, tune is the kind of catchy thing that my grandfather would whistle to himself because it is a blatantly soothing and obvious pattern of notes and cadence. The tune is familiar the first time you hear it. I am actually certain there is a folk song or public domain tune that predates satch on this.

                      But yeah, its the same tune if that's what the lawyers want to say.

                        That's the point..that's all they have to say. Even Hellen Keller would know this..

                          the fact is that everything has been done in music and there's no way we can come up with something new anymore

                              What if you take the song and play the chord progressions backwards? would that be legal? Some of the simplest songs can sound bad ass when played backwards
