Pumped up Kicks- Foster the People guitar lesson Todd Downing

[DenitheGreat]

I'm gonna get so many women when I play this at school...probably not Lo

[LadyDee0820]

What is the strum pattern that you are doing?

[iamafan07]

Man you rocked it.... easiest video I have seen thus far

[MandySama69]

can u pls send me a pic of ur DOG/BEAR? =D must be cute~

[dre686]

I think it sounds better with open chords ( aka D is 2-3-2, A is 2-2-2 and so forth ). Try it out and let me know

[jaykahope13]

can you write out what to do between chords.? i keep getting lost.

[THATGUYWHOCAMPS2000]

his dog is like fuck this

[airsoftsniper38]

hey im trying to just learn this song for fun and do you just do normal strumings like you would for a plage g for example or what?



[sorayakharid5]

E minor??? i think i play hat chords but the name is Cadd9???

[qwerty23O]

I am just learning how to play so can u make a vid on the chords an is it true that you can use a shoelace as a capo

[tdowning11]

@qwerty23O On my 2nd channel tdowning1111 I spend more time going over some guitar basics as well as other lessons. Hope they help. As far as capos go you can probably make do of of pencils and rubber bands but your best bet is just to buy a capo. You Rock!

[SignalBurden]

I like this version a lot more than the other ones on the web. Then after this one you can go right to Over my head the fray for back-to-back songs since they seem to both use the capo on first fret.

[georgiakateebabe]

thank you todd! i check your tutorials for a song, before i check any where else, thank you! all the songs i know now (as a beginner) are from you, thank you! x

[guitaristforeversic4]

@tdowning11 oh for sure i am very passionate and will never stop doing this by the way im Ivan i went to the annerino for lessons and glad i did :D

[pupslwins]

Unidentified object at @0:32-@0:35.

[29hazz]

thanks and is it easier to strum with pic or hand?

[smallpaperplane]

@29hazz four times. D...D D D in that pattern (that's what i do). With the riff that Todd does, strum D...D D in that pattern and add the riff in replacement of the last D strum. I might be wrong but it sounds right to me.

[MrARIFASYRAF]

[fallouttech1]

Dear bullies,

See that boy doing his homework in homeroom? Last night committed his friends suicide.

See that girl you just called fat? She is starving herself.

See that old man you made fun of cause of the ugly scars? He fought for our country.

See that young boy you just made fun of for always being sick? He has to walk home in the snow cause his family is too poor

Re-Post this if you are against bullying. I bet 95% of you won't

Ur life would probably not be as harsh as their

[360NightLamb]

[AnnEntertainment]

can you please do a tutorial of "don't stop" by foster the people! YOU ARE VERY GOOD AT THESE!

[lonefox98]

Awesome. For the riff, what are you going between A and the Em?

[SmellsLikeNothing]

@lonefox98 And open A string and a 3 on the E string or a 5 on the E string a 3 on the E string. Not him but I believe that's it.

[RasinRobertLoggia]
