After watching this several times, I realized a very important point, on ur quite a few of ur chords u don't strum the very last Du... listen carefully and u'll see what i mean.
first chord: index finger on 4th fret of high E. pinky finger on the 6th fret of G string. ring finger right above it on 6th fret of D string.
throw some extra correctly placed strums in there. follow the pattern down to the open nut. that means playing an "Asus2" and the last chord is a simple E.
you NEED that G# in the E chord !
get 2 guitarists... one playing this vid's way and the other playing my way and you have yourself thom and jonny.
if you dont wanna hear him talk to watch his frreaking videos. This is to help begginners learn new songs and its pretty informational. If you have your own problems deal with it on your own, dont dish it out on random people you jerk
after watching this video about 10 times due my lack of intelligence ive mastered it thanks alot dude (lose the back to front cap it discredits your guitar playing)
I agree with "illectrikSkope". U should play 4 strums on the high chord before the sliding strum to the next down chord. But its a great job u've got there. Try to do the same for the song "Thinking about you". People will like it.
Emphasize the root notes F# - A - E while maintaining consistent ringing with the open B and E strings. It will sound way more thicker and more like the tune. Cheers!
U need to play it first THEN explain it. U just went through 5 min of explanation before u ever let us hear what your version sounds like (which wasn't great).
ya.. i kinda agree.. but without the wasting 5 mins of my life part.. it's cool cuz i just would have wasted it on some other vid! haha ;) but thanks tho!
Great job man......its ok to mute the fourth but u have to leave open the second and first string and make them sound along with the fifth and third....try it and tell me what u think about it.....cheers
I know I'm not the first, or last to say this... but you are the best teacher! Gives me the sense that you are right next to me with your guitar, forget I'm even watching a video! Keep up the great work!
Hey thanks man you're a great teacher, i think it will still be hard for me because i'm learning and finding it all pretty hard... especially all these notes and chords...
Hi brilliant lesson mate! I like the fact you talk alot it's better to explain it fully than rip in to it. At the end of the intro i prefer to go to an E shape and hammer the pinkie on the 2nd fret under your first finger.
I love the intro to this song, great lesson, well broken down and explained. It looks like you're giving me the middle finger when you take your finger off the e string at 5:10 lol :-)
thanks for all your help without you i probably woudn't have learned to even play the guitar. (for example) last week i couldn't play any notes or anything and after i watched just one of your lessons(don't panic)i was playin like mad thanks man!!! you ROCK KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK
Absolutely fantastic lessons, man. This is in addition to the other video have helped me get this song down pat, and I couldn't get this rhythm of the intro down for the life of me!
Excellent teaching, and thanks to you I can now play one of my favorite Radiohead songs.
You are an EXCELLENT teacher! You do a great job of explaining every little detail. I think many instructors have been playing so long that they forget to explain the things that begginers or intermediate players have trouble with. Thank you for emphasizing the strumming patterns, I have more trouble with those than anything else, and many videos don't even mention the pattern. I also like the fact that you point out the most difficult part of the song and let us know what to practice most.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
dude, i understand you are only trying to help people out but what you are actually doing is making a very easy song to play seem ridiculously complicated and sound crap.
a bit of advice "only teach songs you can play properly & that sound like the actual song you are trying to play"
i've just set up a youtube account and might just teach you ll this song properly :)
you are very thorough & coherent in you teaching technique so you are halfway there.
matey...ur skillful ...its just superb..i love the way u play this song...so kind of you helping us lot(beginners)..thx a lot...just wondering ,did you actually mute the 6th string when you do the intro or play that string as well but in the end let go n play the open E?
thank you soo much for this, your instructions are so easy to follow, and your timing and repetition is perfect. i find it hard to either keep up, or find it too slow with other instructors, THANK YOU!!!x
