Radio Paradise

I've not ever heard the Satriani, but thought the Coldplay sounded familiar when I heard it the first time. My take? They both heard something similar someplace else and coincidentally were influenced (and possibly unaware of it) by the riff.

I'm not sure how far you can go with this one. Its a fairly well worn place to get chords from - I'm sure other songs have those in - and the tune isn't very complex. So they can argue convergence if they want.

Niiiice. My local radio station played this as a quiz just this morning. The DJ (Dave Morey, the greatest) just played the Satriani lick and asked callers to figure out what was going on. The first guy got it and said Joe's definitely got a case — "worse than George Harrison" he said. I'd have to agree. Do you know if the songs are really in the same key, or did they do some pitch shifting to make that video?

I don't know. This video is my only exposure to the Satriani song.
