You suck! xD

[Rafuzee]

Thx alot! love this song

[Interscepter]

Thanks nick ._.

[bosszeroboss]

You're a good guitar player, but you totally disregarded beginners. They'd already have to know how to competently play guitar before watching your video.

It's definitely a "guitar lesson" for people who already know how to play guitar.

By the way, disregard the "you suck" comments from the a**holes on this site. It seems the internet brings out the worst in people, and they say things they would never say to anyone's face.

[Qwacknbush]

Thank you. I have been disregarding them. You have a valid point, but the way I see it, beginner lessons are for beginner songs.

[Firkraagh]

not the real way. And you're bad!

[keithsa41]

sorry bro, thxs for the lesson, but John F doesn't play it that way... grab the guitar pro version of 911 tabs... you'll see... txs for posting peace

[alexjamess]

fuckin A'

[stalebread31]

[pokeplant]

i dont get the ref

[Crome6966]

wow dude that last part you sucked it up

[cafujo]

molto benne chupame la polla

[beardman69]

You are not correct. tell me that im wrong... thats what i thought! your not that good. i hate how all these 10 year old kids think that they know enough to teach it to someone else.

[nickoo2nickoo2]

to bad hes like 15 asshole...

[thxi30]

muito bom

[Aleksand89]

The bridge is Bm G D A if i recall right,or is it a other combo but those are the chords :)

[Qwacknbush]

No I'm pretty sure I have it right.

[Aleksand89]

Not the way John Frusciante playes it :P

[Qwacknbush]

I'm pretty sure you're wrong.

[benschreiner22]

Check out John Frusciante Dani California on Youtube. The way you play it is not the way he plays it.

[beardman69]

he is not wrong... you know nothing and you suck at guitar.

[SebiSebiSebi3]

How long did you play?

And: Do you think it is feasible to play without a teacher? (YT and books)

[Qwacknbush]

At the time this video was made I had been playing guitar a little over a year and a half. Dani California was actually one of the earlier songs I learned.

[Qwacknbush]

As for your other question, teaching yourself is definitely possible, but I would strongly reccomend getting a teacher for at least a month or two because it's much easier to teach yourself if you already know the basics.

[KoopaTroopa1234]

can u please show the intro in tabs please. i really dont know how to play chords

[Qwacknbush]

For the Am chord you bar your index finger across the 5th fret, ring finger on the 7th fret of the A string, and pinky on the 7th fret of the D string. Then move that chord shape to the 3rd fret on the low E and add your middle finger to the 4th fret G string for G major. Put that same shape on the 5th fret of the A string for Dm. Hope that helps.

[erik987987]

omg.. this sucks so hard, sorry dude

[Qwacknbush]

Well, assuming I deciphered your grammar correctly, anything by Lynyrd Skynyrd has three guitars in it.

[benrules21]

everythings perfect but solo but it still sounds good

[JETOZY]

You got the solo wrong but othervise a kinda good lesson. :)

[laucissimo]

it's all wrong, perfect

[Qwacknbush]

yes

[blackbeltbrown]

is ur band on youtube

[Qwacknbush]

We were working on putting some originals up for a while but now I think we'er just going to make a facebook group instead. Not sure yet.

[sasuke49301]

im a starter plz tell me where my fingers go for the power cords

[Qwacknbush]

A tabbed out F5 (or F power chord) in the first position looks like this:

d:3

a:3

E:1

Then just move that shape so that the root (the first fret of the low E string in this case) is on the note I said and you'll have it down.

[Qwacknbush]

Also to play a bar chord, take a power chord and make it so that your 1st finger frets ever string. Then leave it like that for the A minor, but add your middle finger to the 4th fret G string for the G major and to the 6th fret B string for the D minor. It makes more sense when you see it in the video.

[sasuke49301]

tell me where my fingers go for the chorus

[tom1shep]

cool man thatz some class guitaring, a bit hard for me though yet lol, Well done A++

[Dawgonit13]

pretty good lesson i picked up a lot of good info.

[Qwacknbush]

Thanks

[gogetta95427]

you did the solo 2 fast but good ass lesson

[gogetta95427]

thax yyou taut me alot

[hippieking24]

no offense but the chorus sounds just a little bit off.

[Qwacknbush]

I'm pretty sure it's right. Maybe the rythm is a little off.

[hippieking24]

oh, i see it now. its hard to hear the exact rhythm on the song, but you have the chords right. i just got confused because you didn't mention the slide from the second to the third chord. also, john frusciante is a god and what he does is hard to follow.

[Qwacknbush]

Agreed; he is a God.

-Phil

[Aleksand89]

Plz can u send me the tabs for the verse?

nice video

[pikkupetteri]

sounds a bit shit at times

[Qwacknbush]

Yeah, sorry about that. We recorded it with Nick's computer so we knew it wasn't going to be good.

-Phil

[Qwacknbush]

- Me and Phil share the acount -

Theres nothing wrong with my computer. You need recording stuff to get a good instruments sound. So no more complaining about my computer. - Nick

[omgimshort]

not bad.

[monthejoe]

A lot of this is very wrong. I think you should learn how to play it properly yourself before instructing others. You're not a bad player, but it just isnt right.

[Qwacknbush]

Ok...Like what? I'll try to fix it if i can.

-Phil

[monthejoe]

Some minor mistakes in the verse fills, and the end of the solo is off. The verse fills for instance, have a few notes missing. There are some very good tabs on UG

[Qwacknbush]

OK. Thanks!

-Phil

[monthejoe]

No problem, Im sure you will have no problem learning the parts :)

[absax72]

i can barely hear u. here, have 5 stars because i feel like it.
