Trouble


"Trouble" is a song by British rock band Coldplay, featured on their debut album Parachutes (2000). Co-produced with Ken Nelson, the track is built around an acoustic piano arrangement, giving it a delicate, introspective feel. For electric guitar players, it offers an opportunity to explore understated, atmospheric accompaniment, focusing on clean tones, subtle chord voicings, and dynamic restraint rather than technical complexity.

  • "Trouble" reached number 10 on the UK Singles Chart, becoming Coldplay's second top 10 single in the country.
  • The song's arrangement centers on acoustic piano, making the guitar role supportive and texture-focused, ideal for practicing clean, minimalist playing.
  • "Trouble" was the third single released from Coldplay's debut album Parachutes (2000), co-produced with Ken Nelson.
