is it really plagiarism or is it a coincidence and a huge mistake on coldplays part
yes the keys are altered as is the pitch for satrianis song but note that keys and pitch are variables and have no effect on the actual melody
note that these two get compared to other songs to

plagiarism:1
coincidence:2

ok the song might sound the same but sounds better together!!!!
coldplay has done a great job on adding more excitement and gives you the urge on listening to the song over and over!so well done coldplay you are doing something def. right keep up with the good work and songs!! so it was just a plain accident!!!

I'm sure you'll have plenty of people who will want to disagree with you over this. It will of mostly be people who don't actually play a musical instrument, though. It's always the ones who don't know anything who think they know it all.

No matter what they say - these two songs are essentially the same. It very well may have been accidental though. Anyone tries to write songs will eventually come up with 'this great new song' only to later realize that its some Beatles or Floyd song that you forgot all about.
