[latias1999]

I WANNA LEARN THAT SONG

[mytaylor310]

question in the official vid they play this with no capo in E and they use the same partial chords F#m and G#m as the alman bros do in Melissa , in the grand ol opry vid capo is at the 3rd fret and plays the G which is in the key of b flat and in another vid she capo,s at the 2nd fret and plays G and that puts it in the key of A now your capo at 4th fret and playing an F which is also in A wouldn't the chord progression be the same as far as the 1, 2,m 3,m 5th i have trouble with chord progres-

[yourguitarsage]

@mustaine566 Not sure if I understand the question totally, but check out my lesson on strumming. Search "yourguitarsage strumming" and watch that video. Master the strumming exercises in my ebook 1. Between those two things you should be in good shape!

Thank you for this video. I ve been watching your videos for over a year now and they are really useful. Love the finger picking part! It adds alot to the experience.

[GermanXWig]

Thank you. I love all of your videos and would always hit "next" once I heard that F was one of the chords. Thanks to this video, I am no longer scared of F. I can actually play it now. So thank you.

[yourguitarsage]

@GermanXWig Thanks friend! Search "effing f chord yourguitarsage" for more tips on the F chord :)

[TheBoogaloohoo]

how expensive are capos? i don't have but i NEED one

[Ninjaboi321]

@TheBoogaloohoo check guitar center or something, they can be like 15-30 bucks

[BlueTuqueMedia]

@TheBoogaloohoo any pawn shop man. roughly 20 bucks

Why do you capo on the 4th fret when you can easily and clearly watch the actual band play it capo-ed on the 3rd fret playing G - D - Am - Bm4? real simple - no F barre chord etc.

[arnellagen]

When he said '' AA Dont hit stop...don't leave'' I thought he was a stalker...

[Jasselove23]

I love this tutorial and alot of your other acoustic guitar tutorial and i'd like to request a guitar tutorial by taylor swift-the outside. Thank you.

[OHMYGODASQUIRREL]

hey mabey you can help me out ! i am singing this song for the school talent show with my friend and i have a acoustic and a electric guitar but i dont know ANY cords or anything! and i really want to play acoustic while singing! can you make a video for people who no like nothing about guitar lol thanks!

[Muai619]

gibson  :O

[eands2010]

your guitar sounds amazing

[337eel]

The easiest chord shapes would probably be C-G-D-Em. Place your capo on the 9th fret if you want to play along with the recording. You could just as easy play it without the capo and adjust your melody line to fit the new key. Using the above chord shapes your 1st melody kine note would be the 3rd string open. For example: (IF =3rd st. open) (I = 2nd st. open) (DIE=3rd st. open) (YOUNG= 4th st. 2nd fret) You should squarely be on the C chord when you sing "YOUNG"

[MoolaBaby12]

I thought the capo was on the 2nd??? Someone help me!!!:(

[337eel]

@MoolaBaby12 To match the recording the capo needs to be at the 4th fret using the chords that yourguitarsage showed us

[MajesticMooseFly]

what are the tabs for the fingerpicking part???

[AntoininaMariaRose]

solid vid

[CoversBeRolling]

I love these lessons all of them are really good. Although im really frusturated that there are no lessons with the guitar note picking guitar in the background... :( but still like the lesson.

[bribri9910]

[elizabethandamy721]

[HARMONYbazaarGIRL11]

i play guitar and i figured this song out a while ago by myself and just found this video and i can play these chords and i just wanted to say you can play the F chord a different way. i can play it both ways but i find the other way WAY easier. just to let people know. =)

[alliewhitney]

you're so funny. you're always so upbeat in your videos. thanks so much:)

[donniedmapel]

Awesome song! Thanks for all the updates an lessons!!

[MsBear79]

Thank you. I got the book and watch the videos this is helpful hope you keep this up much appreciated.

[useddentalfloss]

I bought the ebook several months ago. Combined with the lessons here on youtube it's the best money I have ever spent to further my guitar playing skills. I am now comfortable saying I can "play" guitar, no longer stress that I am "learning" to play. Thanks man!!!

[yourguitarsage]

Let's clear up some confusion about the capo. It's a tool, like a wrench or screwdriver. Anyone who says that you are lesser of a player for using one needs to drive nails with their skull instead of a hammer out of sheer ego. I know tons of incredible guitar players that can play circles around the ego-maniacs that tout such nonsense. The capo is not evil or good. It's a tool and is helpful NOT ONLY for changing keys, but also optimizing fingering which allows for chord embellishment, etc. ;)

[bmoorefortyfive]

@yourguitarsage nicley put

[frankthetalkingshoe]

@yourguitarsage like joe bonamassa uses a kapo alot and hes an amazing guitar player :)

[Toofed15]

Cool hat!

[juyurin00]

you still preserve the manners you got before :)

[hellwroughtangel]

On the whole capo vs bar chords. I don't have a capo, so i am stuck barring any song that is not in the key of c (the other option is tuning your guitar for a specific song, but that's a bigger pain). The thing with barring is that you spend so much time training your left hand to make funny uncomfortable shapes, you ignore your right hand that is suppose to be keeping rhythm. So even when you get all the bar chords down, you still can't play the song. So if you have a capo use it!

[musiczheir]

@hellwroughtangel I dont believe so. i mean in my opinion, you would get BETTER rather than lose skills with barre chords. Once you learn the basic patterns of most barre chords, you attain a seemingly-infinite library of chords and know how to do em. Of course, you shouldnt neglect your left hand, but that should be learned in the beginning... with easier chords like G Am Em etc. so then after u learn the barres u'll be playin like mraz nd the other great guitarists :D

[MoeHawk37]

Guitar sage, I need to invest in a Capo. What type of Capo should I get? (for an acoustic nylon/steel string). By the way, your youtube lessons are the best.

[musiczheir]

@MoeHawk37 I reccomend the main Kyser capos. the one that come in like 5 colors and are rather thin. its professional usage, costs $20 (but even some low quality ones cost that much). Kysers are long lasting. had mine since like 3 months after i started playing... doesnt seem like its going to wear until after i die.

[DaddysGirl3181]

I'm not far enough to play actual songs. Still working on chords -_-

[bluebort]

Great Job, yet again. You're lucky I have some dignitiy otherwise this would be on all of your videos ;)

[MegaBhd]

3:50 You say you play whole notes, but you're counting 1,2, strum, 1,2, strum. So actually you're playing split bars there instead of diamonds. Right?

But keep the videos coming, sage! I really enjoy them!

[AlexxxC23]

the f chord is actually my best friend so....yea

[godwithahatchet]

Thx for yet another great tutorial : )

[rjm00re]

can you teach black by pearl jam?
