If it Means a Lot to You by A Day to Remember Tutorial - Strumming Pattern

[101tmann]

so is it a down down down up down up??

[yourmomwasherelol]

i like the part where your hands werent blurry lmao jk, great vid man :)

[OGPeNGuiNz0Rz]

@henneyqwerty Stressing means strumming a little harder to make the chord stand out, but this isn't a beginner's song. ^^;

[MrSed44]

Hes playing a washburn, I play the samething.

[007thatonekid]

Guitar 2 part.

[xxbabybolesxx]

I like your hands...

[br3ed78]

i believe you got a text 2:58

[RacerDude96]

Holy shit. I was doing this right the whole time? Fuck.

[RodmanIsASadPanda]

Very nice guitar, is it a washburn? I've seen that design on a washburn before

[emolookinkid448]

could you do a tutorial on you had me at hello by a day to remember if you know how to play it, please?

[emolookinkid448]

@Onesickpuppy1 i would say start acoustic, it's easier and better for practice. once you start electric its the same just itll sound better if your more expierenced, if your new clean up on acoustic so that your not sloppy on an electric. itll sound crisper.

[CMcBvb]

What chords do you use?

[TheBlissfuloutsider]

What kind of guitar do you have? It's awesome. :) This was also very helpful.

[guitargodnick1993]

idk if its because i desperately need new strings or what but it sounds like SHIT on my guitar. help me? :(

[edgiz99]

no it didnt just kinda happen...douche...thanks for the vid tho :P

[Bret220]

@edgiz99 You're so stupid that I feel like crying. Knowing that people as stupid as you exist easily brings tears to my eyes.

[edgiz99]

@Bret220 stupidity makes u cry? xD

[Cchiefgunz]

Thanks for posting this. My daughter has been wanting me to teach her this song but it's not the music I listen to or play. After watching two of your vids, I can now teach her how to play it. You have a really good teaching style and I will continue to check in on your postings. Thanks again.

[bruskee16]

this helped me out a lot! so many people dont do this ....Thanks!

[returningfaith]

it gives the song more "rhythm?" 

[Emster112]

Dude what kind of guitar do you have? I have a Hohner..used to have a washburn and might get an Ibenez

[Hatchet130]

[belteshazzarr]

ADTR songs are so simple but yet so amazing

[xcfanatic12]

So is it basically the same strumming pattern throughout the whole song?

[Ascencion8]

[Dukelanderr]

when do you switch chords?

[BrendanAttempts]

[andrewsobs1269]

[147light]

[hannahBANANA736]

how many ups&downs are there on each chord?

[joyjobFB]

What exactly are the chords??

[Bret220]

@joyjobFB

Check out my other video.

[EminemFanForev]

@joyjobFB -->Em/D G Em Gsus2

[nkalbach]

So is it a full four counts before the next double down strum at almost all times? Or does it change throughout the song?

[19MoreThanEver88]

ya your videos are by far the best on this song and you made sure it was exactly the same as the original. i do have a question though so if u could message me back that would be great.

[Bret220]

Yeah, what's up?

[CodyProphet]

dude thanks so much for this tutorial it helped alot, im not too good at playing guitar , singing/screaming is usually my thing. but this definatley makes me wanna play guitar more haha =P thanks bro

[AlexCartelParker]

Amazing, thank you :D First song I learned on the guitar, although mine sounds odd...Then again, it might just be my capo...But it sounds fine for The Only Exception. Ah well. Thanks :)

[taterXfobfanXtot]

hm so is it 2 down each time you change chord, or just with that one chord

? srry im a slow learner

[bubbalouie1994]

so the strum pattern is just Down Down Up Down up...

[henneyqwerty]

im a beginner what does stressing mean?!

[Xxparam0r3luv3rxX]

@henneyqwerty it's probably not right, but i'm guessing it means putting emphasis or whatever you want to call it onto the certain strokes, like strumming it harder?

[henneyqwerty]

@Xxparam0r3luv3rxX haha 10months ago i said that comment, i have kept at guitar im quite good now, this is a piece of cake for me now :L :P

[Hatchet130]

@henneyqwerty Like an accent.

[thecrazymusiclover14]

@henneyqwerty Your giving emphasis to the strum. Making the strum sound more pronounced.

[TENNISiml]

@henneyqwerty it just means put more emphasis on that strum.

[xsmileyburgerx]

Hey, thanks for the video. This really helped.

And i checked out ur band. You guys are awesome! Can i get ur music anywhere?

[omgits42o]

thank you for this video. And i love your band, your on my ipod now :)

[arcticthefox]

haha ya for sure boss im gonna have to try somethin like that cuz we cant write crap

[arcticthefox]

hey ive been tryin to figure this song out forever thanks for the tutorials and stuff. i took a listen to ur band and u guys are pretty awesome. question tho. im in a band to and we are a day to remember based and we cannot write songs to save our lives its retarded. do u guys write lyrics first or do u make the music then put the words and melodies to it???

[Bret220]

Generally our guitarist(s) write the layout of a song and I put lyrics and vocal melodies over it. It works nicely, I guess.

[HaleyAndPerrin]

this helped me so much thank u

[GrEeKsRcOoL999]

How often do you do two down strokes?

[Bret220]

@GrEeKsRcOoL999

That's what she asked.

Um, seriously. I'd say it's probably on the very start of the song. Possibly as the song changes sections throughout. Just mess around with it. That's what she said.

[GrEeKsRcOoL999]

...touche.

[jessicaroberts321]

You are very beautiful:}

[Augustusdavid]
