@SkaterFallen2 had the same problem, you have to let some time pass and then tune it again and again until your guitar is accustomed to this tuning. :)
I just wanna say thanks for the free lessons. You are by far the best teacher on youtube. Your instructions are very clear and easy to hear and see. The video quality is crystal and I am able to see your finger position with ease. Thanks for your time, it is very much appreciated.
I've never picked up a guitar in my life, but I've always wanted to play it. I watched this a few times and when looking for some paint brushes, I found an old guitar in the art room at my school and I picked it up and I thought, 'hey, Marty taught me how to play The Man Who Sold the World - why not try it?' and I did; and I did it right! When I get my guitar, I'm going to watch your videos constantly. You're a fab teacher :)) just thought i'd let you know!
@Mikak100 no....if you put a capo on the first fret, you are going up a half step. What I do is tune a half step down and put a capo on the first fret when playing in standard tuning

Thank you so much Marty! I want to speak on behalf of your students/followers/fans: We thank you for the time you spending creating these FREE lessons. They are fantastic, and you pick great songs, and take your time during the lessons for us beginners.
To your Critics in the comments section: What part of Free guitar lesson don't you get? F-U.
Fyi, I'll be signing up for your pay site in the weeks to come.
Almost able to play this song, never touched an guitar in my whole life got one as a gift today, first song i ever learned.. thank you so very much :) <3
I cant understand you guys that cant play.I plau for about 1 mont and i dont even play more than half hour tnot even every day and i learn this and lotta other songs for like 10 minuts perfectly :)
An easy way to tune down a half step if you only know how to tune standard isto put the capo on the first fret and tune till your tuner registers all the strings as tuned. When u remove the capo, it will be a half step down.
can we play power chords with other chords ? because i cant do capo well. If these capo chords are available to play with some chords without capo,please tell me.Thanks.
@nirvanafan818 Where Did You Sleep Last Night is rather easy, the hardest part is the strumming but if you sit and listen to the recording, tune a half step down and play Em, A, G and B (or B5 which I think sounds better) then that's pretty much the song. The strumming also more or less follows the vocals so it's an easy song to sing and play, especially since in true Blues fashion much of the song is repeated.
The riff just goes E-E-A-G-B-B-E, changing on the words "Girl-Girl-Lie-Me-Where-Sleep-Night," then there's that little riff in the beginning, you can figure that out yourself. It's too hard to explain in the beginning.
the subtitles suck
