                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Jeez, what a bunch of crap. The chords are similar and the first three notes are the same. The general 'vibe' is the same because both Coldplay and Satriani are terribly bland and uncreative acts. You can trace these melodies and progressions back a few centuries if you want. If I were Satch I'd shut the hell up and spend that time on writing something new.  :roll:

Totally agree. Oasis did well not to proceed in court against 'Boulevard of Broken Dreams'.]]></content:encoded>
