This made me so emotional. This song came out when someone I love was addicted and had tried several times to recover, and we were all so very worried. Thank God, those days are behind us now for over 13 years. He is such a wonderful person, and I am so grateful that he was given back to us. I am definitely working on this one. Thanks Dave. It's a great tutorial. I love these throw back Thursdays.
This helped me play this song at my brothers funeral. Tutorial was extremely well done and eased my anxiety during my playing for such difficult time. Great teacher
When you try your best, but you don't succeed When you get what you want, but not what you need When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep Stuck in reverse And the tears come streaming down your face When you lose something you can't replace When you love someone, but it goes to waste Could it be worse? Lights will guide you home And ignite your bones And I will try to fix you And high up above or down below When you're too in love to let it go But if you never try you'll never know Just what you're worth Lights will guide you home And ignite your bones And I will try to fix you Tears stream down your face When you lose something you cannot replace Tears stream down your face and I Tears stream down your face I promise you I will learn from my mistakes Tears stream down your face and I Lights will guide you home And ignite your bones And I will try to fix you
We at Cincinnati children’s hospital with my grandson. My daughter wanted me to learn this song for him. He’s 5- so I found this video. I had never heard of cold play till today. He loves them. Thanks so much.
Was hunting a different song to learn “tomorrow “ (being 11pm) Came across this one and better believe I grabbed guitar and just played for over an hour. Haha I love that you smile a lot when you play. So fun!
This was the first tutorial i ever watched before owning a guitar. After 1 year of practicing, i can finally play this whole song on guitar. Thank you so much.
Been playing for 2 months now and never thought I would b playing Fix You! Thanks Dave for ur brilliant tutorial which I switch on daily for practice. 👍🏼
Dave can u tell me how to get over the pain in my left 3 fingers from pressing on the strings? Someone suggested soaking in vinegar!! It's so painful but I have just learnt The Scientist from u too. I'm so happy and ur way of teaching is so helpful so thank u 😀
I have just played my first song all the way from start to finish with your version of this and your tutorial. Have been playing for about 3 months now and it’s starting to sink in with help from your videos, thank you!
I had been with a guitar for 2 years and couldn't learn a whole song. It makes me very happy that the first is this masterpiece. Thank you very much master! ❤

Wonderful. You have a true gift for playing and teaching music. Your work is a great service to the many of us who are just looking for a little more happiness and peace in their lives through music. God bless you, and please do keep teaching music to the world.
Fantastic tutorial, every step is explained so fully. I have now learnt 3 new songs that I would normally say was too difficult, but that all changed with this amazing tutorial. I wouldn’t go anywhere else to learn new songs. Thank you.
Bravo davvero grazie a te sto imparando a suonare pezzi dinamici e divertenti , spiegazioni semplici e efficenti , top , a parer mio miglior tutorial sul web ! !
Your tutorial is perfect with all written arrangement makes it breeze. You are doing great to pick up my guitar daily without excuse.You are cute teacher.
Ok... So perhaps not the best song to pick as an absolute beginner who's literally only half-played two songs before.. but oh well. (I must say I was pleased to say I knew how to play all the chords!) This tutorial is amazing! With an easy to follow, simple yet helpful video, you've made it possible for me to play one of my favourite songs on the guitar. I can't express my gratitude enough! Thanks you so, so much.
Thank you for this video it's so nice that you have all writen on screen so we can understand fast! I take print screen of all part of the song you show this way it's easy to look back if needed!
Dave, you have brought me back to my guitar with this tutorial. I have a dicky pinky which locks up from straight and makes it very difficult if not impossible to play G with 3rd and 4th finger as in other tutorials. This version I can do, and is just as, if not more interesting than other versions. Thank you so much from me in little old UK. #inspired
Wow you are so great at teaching Dave. I’m loving your GZ2H premium course. I have learned such a lot over the last 2 months. You are the best. I’m really improving with all your guidance and great tuition. Best Money ever spent. Thank you so so much. X
Wow this is amazing!! Thank you so much GuitarHero, you truly are an amazing teacher !! Ive been playing for a year, and never once was I able to sing along a song while i was strumming, found it too impossible, till i found your channel. Im learning lost stars but this song is easy to sing a long while strumming, I love it ! Brilliant tutorial and love the fingerstyle add-ons, you made this a piece of art. Thank you so much ^_^ ! p
Another brilliant tutorial. Clearly explained with the notes and strumming pattern displayed makes it so much easier to follow. The play through at the end is a great way to learn to play .
Fantastic tutorial, every step is explained so fully. You're my best guitar teacher. Lost Stars and Fix You are both my favourite songs. Thank you so much.
thank you so much for your clear instruction...not a usual song for me to learn, but a friend of mine from Israel just posted her first time ever vocal online and i had to learn so we can jam it together. Peace
Hi Dave , thanks you so much for all the great tutorials. Would it be possible to make a video wherein you could show us how to use a metronome at different speeds with all these tutorials .
