How to Play "Beat It" by Michael Jackson on Guitar

[explorateurdesairs]

good enough for me. Whoever can do better, well... do it or beat it

[ShadowWulf113]

Your're just trollin'. The guy did good and it sounds correct. Of course it could be improved on, but what cannot? Tabs arn't bad either; I can play many songs and I do not know ANY chords. Of course learning the chords would be useful in the long run, but honestly, I could care less. Point is -- the guy did good and he showed how to play the song.

[peelopuu]

For a teaching purposes your guitar is criminally out of tune believe me. Plus it sounds like you haven't been playing that much cause' you have some extra notes ringing in the backround and your picking technique is very stiff. It would be better if you upped the volume and played softer. It's so funny how people puts these "lesson" videos after getting few guitar lessons.

[starwisher09]

WOOOOW !!! is he a new teacher ??

[Aerochalklate]

lol i thought mahalo switched to these stuff but this is not their video game channel

[sarthakmessi11]

Thanks a ton Thomas!!



[japiooo321]

Also the Chorus isnt right. You should repeat the riff1 

[japiooo321]

Hes making some mistakes i got them out first of all the riff1 the second time he should hold the last note. the verse the 2nd time hes going to C there should be another E and D inbetween. listen to the song and you will hear it.

[prishabal]

uve got my guitar!!!

[japiooo321]

uhm this lesson is not so good xD first of all he doesnt explain the rythm thats going on in the intro the chords. wich the key to this song the chords are easy. 2nd of all i dont hear what hes calling the chorus they repeat the first riff again. so thats kinda strange?

[GA090TO]

is great, took me out of my musical questions

[ronniea7x]

the solo -_- this kid is gay :D

[litojonny]

i loving the jacket!

[domeee11]

wheres the solo?

[thomaslovesyou]

hey guys! the guitar is a john mayer custom strat. and haha, no solo, for mahalo we keep it easy. if you want advanced guitar tutorials, you can visit my youtube page.

[12WDH12]

No solo???? O.o

[abdennou]

I think that the original riff starts with D# not E. so the tuning is:

D A D G B e (Drop D)

you can play the intro and the funky riff before the solo with this tuning

[AGEMON66]

and black or white

[darkblader061]

wat the hell!!! your my idol on gitaring michael jackson songs..

can you pls send me a link of your video that have billie jeans

[puneet256]

whats the guitar ?? Please tell me !!! I LOVE IT !!

[rushfan000]

@puneet256 if you knew anything about guitars, you would not have asked that question. thats one of the most legendary types of guitars and if you dont know what it is, youre no guitarist anyway

[puneet256]

@rushfan000 I am not some rich lad to buy anything i like. but i can garuntee u one thing i can play well. :D :D

[MrHi0000]

@rushfan000 So what guitar is it? You could have at least answered their question. I'm curious to find out as well.

[rushfan000]

@MrHi0000 haha its a Fender Stratocaster

[MrHi0000]

@rushfan000 That's it? Just a standard strat, the way you were talking made me think there was something special about that particular one. :/

[rushfan000]

@MrHi0000 what? there are only "standard" strats. there arent any special ones. a fender strat is a fender strat.

[MrHi0000]

@rushfan000 I was thinking the colour it was.

[rushfan000]

@MrHi0000 3 color sunburst with dark red tortoise shell

[rushfan000]

@MrHi0000 3 color sunburst with dark red tortoise shell pick guard

[MrHi0000]

@rushfan000 So nothing is special about those colours? No one used that as their signature guitar or anything? That's how I thought you sold it. My bad for the misunderstanding.

[rushfan000]

@MrHi0000 you cant write "whats the guitar?" and expect people to think you mean color.

[MrHi0000]

@rushfan000 Well I'm not sure he did. I just read your response to it and thought it was some legendary guitar replica or something.

[renobt]

What I really want to know,... is where in the hell do I go to get a red leather jacket?

[Gaboxrock60]

Cool, thanks.

[styzzyts]

Thank you!
