[ezmay001]

[TecumsehBand]

thanks.

[BenaiIsDestiny]

Nice guitar...What kind is that? I like the sound of it.

[TecumsehBand]

you know i cant remember...it isnt mine.

if i think of it ill let you know.

[BaPii]

awesome, cool, great, funnnnnn;;;;;;;

[M3mPHiS]

cool

[EvBrand]

yey :D

[thebizzlehimself]

Gmaj7 doesn't sound quite to me :/

if you listen really hard to the intro chords, it has the D string open all the way through

I think the guitar is probably double tracked anyway, which would give it that thickness that it has. which would explain why it's so hard to replicate by yourself

[magdakitty]

i love the way you did it

can you send me the cords for it cos im still learning plying on guitar.plz;)

[brailleonsundays]

ah, didn't see that. thank you very much!

[brailleonsundays]

can someone post the exact fingering for the power chords? it's a bit hard to see, thank you!

and awesome video, btw! just what I needed.

[TecumsehBand]

its in the video description.

[onemanmara]

play the 1st riff

then it goes to the chords (power chords) D E B G

then A G

[aly897]

hey have you put the actual tab anywhere? cuz i learn better when i read the notes.

[TecumsehBand]

no, im not a fan of tabs. sorry.

[bealou05]

i wanna play tht... im soo jealous of u lol

[sophirefly]

woah,,

awesome :]

you must be a genius to figure that out by ear.

[TecumsehBand]

thanks, im flattered.

[Strauss86]

thank you man no one else on the net seemed to be able to tab or teach this properly, nice one, and nice shorts lol

[TecumsehBand]

thanks. i love those shorts.

[bdate]

awesome man =]

[TecumsehBand]

thanks.

[papatsakalos]

I'm sorry but I don't understand those chords you wrote. For example, the Dsus2, wouldn't it mean using 5 fingers? I can't figure out how to play that one and you seem to have your fingers on other fields than the ones I read... :s

[TecumsehBand]

no, you do that by barring the fret.

[KessRock840]

Very nice! but ive been doing it a little different x540xx, x440xx, x240xx... tell me what u think. i think it sound nice but then agaain maybe im just retarded.

[TecumsehBand]

i dont have a guitar with me but you are possibly correct.

[imoutofcontext]

thats awesome!

[TecumsehBand]

thanks.

[SirMattox]

This was fantastic! I appreciate you posting this "how to." How did you figure this out?

[TecumsehBand]

hey, i figured it out by ear.

[cantaya13]

Great Job! I have a question though: for the part where you strum the chorus really fast (around 2:15), is that all 16th notes for the 3rd and 4th beats of one measure and then the rest of the next measure? Thanks!

[ThirdWorld1]

Awsomeness..

[TecumsehBand]

thanks!

[snarkywonton]

Thanks,brother. That really helped tremendously. I appreciate your work on this!

[TecumsehBand]

thanks! no problem by the way.

[JEEFREY123]

your good better tan me keep on the good work

[TecumsehBand]

thanks.

[SophiiEmo9]

really good! - is it hard to do this song on gutar? - cuz i've tried but it neva turns out as good as you playing it. can u gimmie sum tips? - oh and top marks best one so far!

x <3_-*

[TecumsehBand]

you have to have good timing and be able to strum up and down well without it sounding odd. i dont really know how to describe how to do these things. keep practicing and im sure that you'll get it.

[bathtubjinn]

Thanks! Perfect!

[TecumsehBand]

thank you

[sugarrr55]

shave your legs

[TecumsehBand]

done.

[rio197]

thanks

[nirvomind]

[TecumsehBand]

thanks a lot. that was kind

[ezepze123]

Important to use that fingering you use at the beginning - makes transitioning into the G much easier

[ezepze123]

Thanks for this

[TecumsehBand]

no problem

[cholowoo]

nice! u posted the chords up lol wish more ppl would do that...

[TecumsehBand]

i know that it isnt always easy to see what i am doing to i thought that would be best,

[bebelicious777]

rainbow checkered shorts, yum

[TecumsehBand]

it is funny how many people comment on those shorts!

read the story i wrote below about them if you have a second.

[blbrrysprkl]

you rock! and i love your shorts!

[TecumsehBand]

thanks, i was wearing those shorts in customs after flying back from dominican and the cop that was asking us questions kept staring at me when i was in line waiting and obviously talking about me. so i was freaking out! it turns out that he hated my shorts and was making fun of me.

[tigerwods23]

wow i dont think anyone could have made abetter instruction for guitar. Thanks a lot man this is like the first song i could actually follow just by seeing/listening. Very easy to follow after you gave the chords for verse prechorus etc.

[TecumsehBand]

wow, thanks a lot. glad to have helped you out.

[carri1310]

[TecumsehBand]

[LJsurfer2002]

[TecumsehBand]

no problem, glad to help you out!

[mydalroo]

Nicely done.

[TecumsehBand]

thanks.

[DrBurnt]

good job

[TecumsehBand]

thanks.

[blairiscool]

hEY WHY DON'T YOU INVENT A SONG?

[TecumsehBand]

i have songs, you can hear them on my myspace.

go to my chanel page and i think there is a link to the site.

[GCHedgehog]

P.s. - The implied chords for the verse are as follows:

D, A(with C# in the bass), B minor and G.

[GCHedgehog]

I think that verse could be played better -

Feist herself just uses the descending root notes and an open D which is simpler than what you are doing but actually doesn't sound that good. The guitar on the record sounds much fuller because you can hear a little A-note overtone and you can compensate for that by holding an A-note on the g-string. Start with the open D and the A then play little 3-note muted chords-(C#, D(open), A)-(B, D(open), A)-(G, D(open), A)-This sounds best i think :)

[MakeOutKid92]

wow it's like you're in my mp3 player seriously haha

you play all my favorite songs, i love it

[TecumsehBand]

great. im glad youre into the videos.

[electrique91]

Great! a new vid :) ur 1st 1 in ur new place. i like this song, i'll try it out :]

[TecumsehBand]

cool, let me know how it goes. it took soooo long to upload the video because i had to steal a wireless signal that was really really weak.

[ChemicalFrankenstein]

Nicely done my friend

[TecumsehBand]

i have been on a feist kick lately.

[lostosl]

thanks this is perfect!

[TecumsehBand]

thanks alot!
