and now the original, and best....

A cover is a cover and not meant to match the original. That said, when the original score can be successfully arranged for a single instrument or orchestrated for many, it says a lot for the the quality of the original.  :y :y

True :y , but the Coldplay version was plagiarism, and not a cover.
On December 4, 2008 Satriani filed a copyright infringement suit against Coldplay in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, and eventually settled 'out of court' for an undisclosed amount.  A case of 'damage limitation' from Coldplay.

Been going through some YouTube with Miss Nickbat tonight for her violin lessons and t'was she who unearthed this.

Knowing how hard the violin is to master, I have to hand it to this chap. He's done a great job and the result is strangely haunting. No wonder it has got 2.6m views.  :y
That's incredible Nick. Whether or not you like strings or Coldplay this works & you can tell your daughter she's right!....

    .......& i'm going to post it on my f/b!
