[MONKMAN12345]

[lao993]

[MadMedic9]

I forgot to say thanks, and that this was the best lesson for this song I have found. I saw some of the more stupid comments below, but I don't see those morons posting any videos.

[MadMedic9]

Dude this was the first song I learned on the guitar. I learned it from you with this video,and now it seems so easy, but a year ago, I was working my ass off, lol. I still can't seem to sing and play the guitar. Any advice ?

[minislayer2010]

Of course EVERYBODY knows that Every Rose was originally played on a 12 string

[waltripcrew]

Thank you for the lesson.

[malkuth74]

Good job. I learned this song already but the video I learned it from basically has the same cords as you. Only they Use G,CA9,D,C.

But your method is great. Kinda wish I would of found your video first. They did mention that you could use the CA9 instead of the C. But I have it kinda down now so no real need to change now.

[abreham103]

The strumming is: D D D U D U U D U

[jonasgirl201534]

okay this would be really easy but i cant really get the strumming down

[sk8ergangsta2003]

haha and people just picking up a guitar today or this week, some people just dont know how to play it naturally so.... they might wanna learn HOW to strum and press the strings...... just sayin. some people dont know how.

[sk8ergangsta2003]

thanks for the video. Im not really gonna play this but im sure its helping someone. I just ordered an ovation aplause ae148 i cant wait to play it.... i like easy songs like this, just simple progressions and it sounds good.

[DamianSix66]

Rob thanks from Liverpool England , this is one beautiful song . Strange that it came from Poison ! but credit where credit is due and as you guys over there might say AWESOME ! great lesson Rob .

[doorslammerules]

damn it! i touch like all the cords with one fucking finger, shit

[big190rack]

i dont get it...

[doorslammerules]

fuck idk how to play it lol, dont even lknow the fucking cords lol b

[laotionracer101]

lol

[kaare1992]

lol

[sk8ergangsta2003]

look the chords up on google its easy. once you know the chords you can basically do anything, because its alot easier to understand what theyre trying to tell you.

[iluvfailz]

thankyou so much! I have an acoustic guitar and it's kinda embarissing that all I can play is wild thing, but now I have this thanks!!

[SmokingRevolvers]

very good lesson man

[JaesinJei]

dude your awesome...this was so easy to follow...and im a beginner...to everyone having problems rewind the vid a few times...i did...trust me its easier to play than you think

[hooseyadaddy]

better sounding but still easy way to strum

Down=D up=U -----= (long)break between strum -- = short

D----D-----U-D-----U-D-----D-U­-D-U-D(change on this last D strum ie first strum of next chord) then repeat. thats it!

[MadMedic9]

Rob, that is great the way you said you never move your pinky or second finger, Now I can play the song faster with the "cheater" chords because i am able to change chords so much faster. I play the G, C+9, em 7, and D. Awesome. I think on my cheap guitar it sounds fuller.

[Jayhawkblue]

good job brahski

[dnnysrock]

down down up down ... confuesing! pleas reply with the struming patron

[ozz79]

Hey man this my first song I actually play thanks.  Can you post more simple songs like this one with the same format you explained in this one.

[capnbloodeye]

Awesome. Thanks man!

[masteryohn]

well dude the song is played on a twelve string geeeeeezzzzzzzzz lmao

[ferry2w]

rob please make a video telling us the strumming pattern of every rose has its thorn in your video. please please. love this song. thanks

[ferry2w]

rob i love you video, i am trying to learn this song can you do another video telling the strumming pattern that you use. please please. is it down down up down or what ??? please reply. thanks love the video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

[watchman001]

thanks rob

[ironman799]

you nice vid but the only problem is with the strumming next time talk us ocer that part more. i would like to see more vids from you if you have them

[hallowicked2007]

how would i have to tune my guitar

[Corenero]

Thanx a lot Rob, I'm singing the song because of you !!!

[sargeek1975]

Sweet man.......glad to hear it!

[ThrottleStuckOpen]

Nice job brother, thanks a lot. At last, a tutor with hands built solid like mine!

[jackbenimble99999]

Very good tutorial! I had to figure out the strumming rythm, it would be better for the next one of you tell them "d du ddu ddu". Even though your singing is a little bit flat in some parts, your strumming and chords are spot on. I'm listening to this every day, trying to actually be able to sing it. Thanks so much! Keep 'em coming - you are a real musician!

[gyggedy]

it's nice to see your philantrophic attitude to explain how to play such an easy song, but u better ger better in tune with voice. the EM is EM, no E..omg..

[gyggedy]

it's not just c g and a. it's a beautiful ballad with awesome vocals and weird powerful solo. this is an intro, man ;-)

[giblets6910]

cheater! i like ur style

[nevets3580]

great vid rob easy to pick up,make some more fella.

[mikeandadria]

Great job man! I am a drummer all the way ... but people tell me I can sing this song very well. So I'm learning it on geeeetar for balls. Very clear easy concise lesson. Nice! I'll post it when I perfect it. Mike ;)

[jdawest]

very nice job, I like the way you explain it slowly, so its easy to follow.

[lerdner21]

thank you you acually explain how to play it and dont just play it and expect us to no like other ppl...thanks!

[MCCALBE]

a straightforward lesson to enjoy the guitar with!  Thanks for taking the time to post it..

[jdawest]

nice job,thanks for taking the time to explain this.

[jloganb577]

its easy to strum

[sargeek1975]

Let's see your video; singing and playing.

[sangolt88]

Remember to tune it down a halftone (one semitown)...
