Finger Eleven - Paralyzer - Guitar Lesson

[finleg27]

r u saying we have to watch there fingers to learn the song, should of put a tab link or something

[jrs6066]

just lettin u guys know, they start to talk about the actualy lesson at 3:50 .

[shaindaman13]

@jrs6066 Thanks for that. It's like you were reading my mind. I skipped straight to the part when they start because I have to learn this lame ass song for a new band I joined.

[lifeson46]

jack black and rick james? wow they look so different

[99999LJ]

thumbs up if ur watching this at 2012

[AnyVarela]

240p :s

[shaindaman13]

those first few notes sound like " In Stereo" by The Cars

[thething75191]

it's no that well explained =/

[moosedude283]

every band should do this

[ChillingInAFire]

Everything you need to know to play this song is in here, don't whine just because they didn't tab it out and explain all the technique to you. Listen and copy. Once you learn how to do that, you don't need shit like this and you can learn whatever you want.

[iMightjustbecrazy]

I barely got anything from this, just saying

[IronForMaidenLove]

@iMightjustbecrazy Maybe you should learn how toplay guitar first sweetie.

[iMightjustbecrazy]

@IronForMaidenLove But this is nothing, I am learning how to play guitar and most of it is them talking about why the WROTE the song, I am just saying that is should be more easy to understand honey

[martinandreev]

they talk too much and dont explane that good ;/

[ShellyMairexD]

I luv this song!! :)

[Dirtbiketrike72]

great lesson!!!

[TheGreaterGood80]

[SDCParrot]

[skylorz]

@TheSShadye  songsterr......com/a/wsa/finge­r-eleven-paralyzer-guitar-tab-­s18644t0

[Elfdehbox]

can someone help me out?

How do you tell if you're strumming up or down when you're reading a tab?

[Cuirras]

@Elfdehbox you dont... because the notes always on the tab go from down to up...

[poeppinguin]

29 people couldn't dodge

[iiTzK1N61K1LL3r]

how does finger eleven get really great sounds?

[luckitself]

28 people cant play paralyzer

[iiTzK1N61K1LL3r]

these guys are awesome i wanna buy their new album

[beastological]

if u dont wanna hear em talk, use tht time to admire their guitars

[dink116]

lame o

[cowedbywisdom]

that guitar rocks it's too band the lyrics are retarded

[SuperVideosMaker]

can some one please write the tabs please?

[Mustangs4life69]

this is a great tutorial. i have an acoustic guitar so some parts were extremely hard to play, and for the "verse guitar 1" part i couldn't recreate it. i was confused so i just cut that part out. but other then that this was a great tutorial, thanks finger 11. and guys this really is an interview.. not a tab lesson... although it did safice as both lol.

[AdyFayeR]

i can play the intro and i think its enough for me...haha

[HELLIONNUMBER96]

@AdyFayeR lmao!

[Tlove816tt]

To all that are bitching about their tutorial. The song is so easy that you don't need tabs. Just watch their finger placement. And telling them to shut up? They made the song! They could have not made it, then they wouldn't have to shut up.

[jlopez0o]

Worst tutorial I have ever seen they talk too much show too little

[24bulls08]

totally nice... thanks dude its helping

[iamthescott1]

shut up and show me how to play the fuckin song

[MacroFuzzXD]

This really helped! I could never find a tab that did what this video did for me. I am SO stoked to show this at my next band practice!

[Frenchgeek4eva]

6:07 part is kinda tricky.



[MacroFuzzXD]

@Frenchgeek4eva

Either practice it over and over or simplify it by just improvising with the same notes and funky feel. It's an incredibly fun song to play once you get it down. Good luck... unless, of course, you got it down since this comment which then, congrats are in order!

[debakkertje12]

do you guys have tabs for that part at 06:54

[HELLIONNUMBER96]

@debakkertje12 i got the them vs you vs me tab book and i still cant get it XD

[debakkertje12]

@HELLIONNUMBER96 can you read tabs?

i can, but maby you have to try some easy songs with tabs, than you can learn how to read tabs.

[HELLIONNUMBER96]

@debakkertje12 of course i can read them, pefectly i meant i cant get the timing and stuff down for that part of the song

[debakkertje12]

@HELLIONNUMBER96 i have a tip for you.

first play it slow for a long time, keep practicing that and then try it some faster.

[HELLIONNUMBER96]

@debakkertje12 thanks, but the problem is i could learn it but i dont know like..the timing, i listen to the song and play the notes but the timing and stuuf seems wrong

[giorclano]

1:00 so you winged it

[JonasAdeline0107]

,.tabs?

[christianrockr08]

haha he said key of E.

it's, quite obviously, in the key of E minor. it STARTS on an Em chord. and E and Em are very different keys. 

obviously he knows that, it was just funny to hear.

[alancik123]

wow its easier than i tough :]

[IGNIKA1998]

I am getting a electric gitar for my birthday, this vid was very helpful, i am still practising on the song!!! love it.

[XGHOSTX357X]

omg!!!!!! ate 2 bowls of ceareal in there still talking >.>

[PASTAandMUSE]

i respect james a lot more now becuz he talked bout david gilmour as 1 of his influences, hes a big inspiration to me too!

[timekeeper117]

i like how he gave a shout out to his influences in gilmour and paige

[IGNIKA1998]

now i want to play guitar, bucuz of you!

[IGNIKA1998]

[imbrianvargas1]

[EXGH3]

[smcs2009]

I LOVE that they love music that much that they share their "secrets" that's why I love this band!

They are so not pretentious....they just rock it out and share their love with everyone....it's awesome...

[suzyqb1975]

I couldn't have said it better myself smcs :)

[Bl4ck5mith]

[charlthescreaminfish]

[thighhighfreek]

this is the most banale coversation ive ever heard  just play the dam song!!!!!!

[ToOlOGT22]

is that the castle in toronto? downtown toronto?

[natedagreat850]

the 11th finger is lets say part of the male anatomy... lol

[hoover573]

that's not the 11th finger but the 3rd leg :p

[shannanyahoe]

actually, finger eleven is referring to a lyric in a song, its not your dick lmfao

[bruceamey]

It's actually from a lyric off of their first album. Scott said explicitly the name isn't about dicks. heh

[ashberserker003]

i finally learn t this song

[sherdakooky]

what exactly does finger 11 mean?

[tazz582]

it means 1 of your hands is fucked up LOL jk but that is a good qustion

[CelestialObscurity]

Im pretty sure it is sticking up both of your middle fingers.. lol

[faceitusuck500]

makes me wunt pizzahutt

[realrockerdude]

can anyone send me the tabs for the whole song? THANK YOU

[avenged4000]

7:11 to 7:28

[wak3b0ard123]

i wish they put more detail into showing us how to play it. it takes 2 long to watch what frets/strings they are using :(

[ashberserker003]

i agree i can do only the duh duh duh duh da duh duh duh da i cant do the duuhh duhh dahh dahh dah duh duh duh duh duh daduh

[AlexArmes]

06:52 is cool!

[wayoutoftune]

anyone know what tunning they use? Eb mabey

[scorpking01]

from everything I have read it is standard tuning

[Maverician]

I think it's standard from what I can hear, main reason it sounds so different, is cause he only has a neck pickup, and probably has odd settings as well.

[TruthFan]

Makes my teeth itch.

[Vytaliti]

rofl ur telling finger 11 to shut up? you do realize this is an interview right?

[feltgrape]

FInger 11 have more than this song as their hit. Good times, One thing, First time, Paralyzer, Falling on, I'll keep your memory vague.

Those are their "hits". Hit is kind of relative though...

[BMuris]

Thanks for sharing

[GarageBuddies]

Saw these guys last night There fricken rediculous!!!

[Deawgong]

I love to play this***

[greyflap]

At 4:35 it kind of sounds like the riff to "The Cars-Moving in Stereo". Except I think Paralyzer made millions more than any Cars song ever did, which is too bad because The Cars made a lot of great music.

[ghost037]

holy crap! your right.

[babylonkid]

for a long time ive been tryin to figure out what song they ripped off to do this. i think it might be moving in stereo. but i think your wrong about paralyzer makin more than songs by the cars. this is their only hit. the cars have 10 or 12 i can name off the top of my head.

[greyflap]

I meant millions as in dollars only and only in comparison with any individual Cars hit, not colectively. But you'd be surprised how close the dollar amount for paralyzer alone would compare to all of the Cars hit singles combined. You have to consider that there's a huge pay scale difference between these two era's.

[InvisibleJess]

NICE PIGGY SHIRT! XP

[JBhero555]

is it just me, or does the lead guitarist look a lot like seth mcfarlin?

[deathreaper521]

lol..comedy man by day...rockstar by night

[InvisibleJess]

He does!

[thecrapshoot123]

r u retarded this an trampled under foot r almost opposites this riff descends an trampled under foot ascends u idiot

[menga111]

i got that pink floyd T

[ChiliPalmer14]

This riff just happened? Yeah, it happened to Led Zeppelin in the 70's and they slightly modified it. But if any band deserves to be ripped off, it's Zeppelin. Check out "Trampled Under Foot" from Physical Grafitti. You may hear a similarity or 10.

[rokstar110]

your right it has almost the same rhythm except a bass is playing it thats so stupid

[DrewCCastillo]

Yeah you can definitely hear a similarity. At 10:15 he admits that a lot of his guitar comes from either Dave Gilmore or Zeppelin's Jimmy Page

[mtimmerman123]

Nice vid. Met you guys at the Savoy in Cape Breton. You guys should go back! lol

[TheDeadmanTT]

can anybody tell me what James is playing at 5:13 to 5:17?

thx guys...

[AishaIsKewl]

A guitar.

[F1NGERELEVEN]

lmao

[kaibarules3]

I think he means which type guys... soz i cnt be of help i suck at this stuff im good on drums though XD

[deathreaper521]

he goes with the 14th,12th,10th, and 9th frets instead

[TheDeadmanTT]

thank you ...

at least one guy is willing to help xD

[deathreaper521]

well..I learned the entire song...except the chords in the chorus bridge...im not so good with songs

[andrew4773]

does anybody knows in which month can i find this lesson of guitar guitar world magazine?

[sacklaus441]

sorry ,

[sacklaus441]

men i met them and their actually really cool!

put the onre to the right offered me weed

but he was drunk so i don`t blame him.

[F1NGERELEVEN]

shhhh that was supposed to be a secret

[metalsaw]

lol

[metalsaw]

lol lol !

[gymegamz]

The Riff is extremely similar to The Cars - "Moving In Stereo" when slowed down.

[gymegamz]

The Intro i meant to say, when slowed down, is very similar to The Cars - "Moving In Stereo" keyboard/guitar riff

[bnapoleonc123]

alos Led Zeppelin trampled underfoot.

[timekeeper117]

this lesson is for the intermediate players. their not showing u the exact notes to play but its slow enough that an intermediate player can distinguish which notes their playing

[Wunderdogg]

What an elitist comment. They're showing exactly how they play it. They even say so "this is how I played it in the studio", "this is how I play it live". WTF?? It's an intermediate lesson because it's an intermediate song, but whatever makes you feel superior.

[maccaroni93]

lol, both have a red guitar...I love the SG!!! =D

[Shadow930812]

good vid thanx!

[123LambofGod123]

Rick looks like he should be in a Metal band haha

[kellersklk]

how do you know he doesnt produce metal in his spare time??????????

[123LambofGod123]

lol whos knows!?!

[bnapoleonc123]

According to Wiki, they actually are a metal band, and this was their sort of "commercial" song,

[F1NGERELEVEN]

Wiki lol anyone can add info there...

finger eleven are a rock band

[bnapoleonc123]

Yea true lol. It said alternate metal, but I guess you gyys would know lol.

[dtmasta45]

@F1NGERELEVEN yeah i went on there and for a day, shakespeare was the 5 year ruled of moldolva lol

[p3p76]

they don't show you?

[ryukyudragon]

they show you, just watch the whole thing and watch their fingers and the frets. You may have to replay the video several times before you'll get the riffs down.

[p3p76]

ok thx but i watched another video to teach me but thx anyways

[WillEddieTwins]

how can you do it?

[ineedanamee]

thats a good riff

[Frano911]

did anybody actually learn from this?

msg me back cause i might show this 2 my friends if its helpful...

[XShotkillX]

lol they dont really show you lol
