Message in a bottle - Guitar Lesson

[aly639]

where's your accent from? great tutorial

[crazydavemma]

Any reason behind using 1st, 3rd, and 4th fingers instead of 1st, 2nd, and 4th? I like to make the bigger stretch with my stronger fingers.

[bakhteria]

Very nicely done. Thanks

[LittayePiero]

Thanks yo !

[Guitaristcj84]

Is this supposed to be a song lesson or chords, geez

[Medina583]

He kinda flipped us off o_O

[mertil6]

[wiegand185]

Neil _ atlanta, Georgia

[W4lterACM]

EXCELENT!!! THANKS!!!!!! from Perú!!!!

[RoninAuron]

Hey I have seen the riff played so many ways, which is the right way i can play this way i've also seen it another way

[Lessthenjake999]

Thnx mate awsome vid

[danielcunningham100]

nice 1.... sounds just like andy summers!!!

can you also do a similar lesson on hotel california?

[Angus1966]

Always ruins my nylon strings right were i slide from the 6/7 on the d string. Nothing else ruins my strings like that riff does. lol. Some rock songs go great on classical guitars , message in a bottle is one of them.

[JAMMAN1701]

@Angus1966 Would love to see you play it on classical guitar!

[deathknight421]

@Angus1966 dont use nylon strings. there not good for professional play. i dont reccomend it.

[Felipefresh21]

This is a good video lesson !!! hand up !

[who8allthepies]

its handy if you have large hands and long fingers. i am lucky i have a span of around 9 inches from tip of little finger to tip of thumb. but summers has not got big hands, there just extremely strong.

[20112010David]

wow thanks 4 that

[fabifabiish]

I Know a better/easier Version but good Video

[theeguitarbite]

ok guys we wont waste any time lets just tune our guitars then we'll get started

[dfcristi]

good video

[dfcristi]

thanks for this video... very usefull

[Grakacastor]

Well taught!

[spectmotis]

thanx thanx very much!

[feawhiz777]

Awesome lesson. It's right on. Can you tell me if you pick the single note part with down strokes or alternate or other technique?

[percy82ful]

Tnx, I've really learned this song now, you're very good to teach ; ) hi from Italy

[011Jesse]

i learn better when i watch someone else do it. Thanks a bunch you really helped :D

[Neilidity]

Excellent! When I finally buy another guitar (working on it - sold my old one some time ago) I will try this - you've inspired me!

[snowfiddler]

Thanks for the great vid!

[micks4522]

I cant reach eeet. gosh, my fingers are small

[ELITEBLACKACE]

My fingers are long that's not the problem it's my speed but I'm practicing, thank you I finally learned how to play this song! And I have the same Ibanez just I kinda broke the thread so I can't put in a wammy bar :-/.

[UATACan1]

very good thanks

[NEB284]

In the main rift i don't get the last bit, the slide to A, how do u slide o it if your pinkys already on it?

[AshleyCowanMusic]

Wrists of dooooooooom! Aaah! Thanks though!

[brokrodric]

ta very much very useful

[ffsyourself]

luckily i am 13 and i am 1metre 84, so my hand span is pretty big making it easier to play

[AndreasDaGuitarFreak]

why did we have to watch you tune? :D

[linuxwave]

@AndreasDaGuitarFreak so we know he can do it ;)

[mlwhite100]

Brilliant thanks!

[ffsyourself]

the easiest way to stretch your fingers n that position is to put your hand straight not diagonaly

[ffsyourself]

how do you stretch your fingers like that??!

[imoj47]

do you think you could driven to tears by the police

[JPSS97]

Awesome lesson man! But I'm pretty sure the last chord in the chorus is an F#m7 :)

[MsGuitar52]

great lesson, thanks

[kirannikhil]

good one mate... nice , kudos..

[adesperateshadow]

Mi corazoncito- Aventura

Please!



[sidbarret123]

jesus h -- that stretch puts me out! andy summers is a show off and did it on perperse. nice lesson

[88mpny]

@sidbarret123 I dont think Andy was trying to show off at all it's just how the riff goes and it sounds awesome. there are a billion tough riffs to play from songs. with enough practice and familiarity with the guitar it can be played.

[chokkan7]

The Jam - Eton Rifles

PLEASE!

[picolives]

For the third riff of the opening, instead of going to the 7th fret on the 6th string, keeping the same pattern, start on the A string 2nd fret (d 4th fret, g 6th fret). Then the last phrase perform as the video says. This keeps you from flying all over the neck; make it easy on yourself!

[WiiCraig52]

Thanks for this it really helps But wow my fingers are sooooo sore

[skatejam7]

i can do it :S i didnt know i was that good, WTF my fingers are mad flexy

[BACKSTABBED2DEATH]

i couldnt have chosen any one better to teach me this song, thank god i chose this link!!

[microdon2]

Very nice lesson! You're a good teacher - keep it up. Meanwhile I'll practice this one. (hurts my wrist!)

[stvnivan]

Awesome TEACHING! YOUR THE BEST!

[4LoveMr]

My favorite song.. I have "attempted" to play it in almost every chord imaginable.. they work ok,.. but this is the best i have heard. Thanks for taking the time to share.

[jwahh]

You really break it down for the novice. Excellent lesson. Appreciate it.

[awiorg]

its harder for people with not so long fingers like me but my 14 yr old fingers can still do it =]

[aaronscrewme]

WOW thanks for making a weird song easy! You were very clear, good job.

[jamgarza1]

my wrists are sore this is a challenge for me.

[JAMMAN1701]

@jamgarza1 just take ur time, dont get fustrated and u'll get it eventually! :)

[ktmrider5292]

@jamgarza1 THATS WHAT SHE SAID

[jessedipstick]

@jamgarza1 It's horrible on Acoustic guitars with really spread apart frets. It's killing me! Hahaha you're comment was posted a year ago.

[policiacorrupto]

[Irotane]

[JAMMAN1701]

@Irotane Thank you for the comment, Glad I could help :)

[SuperAdrian76]

Great man, although i play it different.

Main riff think sounds better and easier starting second chord from A string (not from E string's 5th fret) and keeping on playing lower notes in the A string.

[JAMMAN1701]

@SuperAdrian76 Cool I'll give it a go! thanks!

[Slasher744]

Hey that;s my guitar :)

[j7ht]

Thanks a lot! Your video really helped me! Now I'm trying to play the whole song. I became an addicted in The Police, and I was searching any video who teach how to play. I am just to slow, but I hope that I can become faster. Thanks

[JAMMAN1701]

Thank you I appreciate it. Yes I'm Irish. What kind of songs do u want me to teach? I am always open to suggestions. yes 6.05 is c# minor.

Thanks for ur comment :)

[Kingpin0072001uk]

I ran out of space to type I wanted to say that your video is awesome. And no worries about the comment, I'll be keeping an eye out for more of your videos and plenty more comments I'm sure, haha. nice one bud!

[Kingpin0072001uk]

Mate... I should have spent time checking your profile out, it says "ireland" in it for a start. and If I didn't pause the video and comment at that specific time I'd have seen the notation, haha.

Anyways, I'm an electric guitar player. Probably an intermediate player now, I havn't got any requests but I've subscribed to make sure I don't miss out on anything, I'm about to learn this song now. But when I put a lil more thought into what I want to learn next I'll comment and ask you for advice!

[JAMMAN1701]

cool man, good luck with learning it, i'm sure u'll get it in no time. just play it slow and speed will come naturally.

thanks :)

[coldspots00]

u r so clever at putting these lessons together! 5*'s :)

[JAMMAN1701]

Its how I like to learn so its the way I teach lol its the best way, break everything down and slow it down. :)
