  • what's the strumming pattern?

  • @samwuzhere9 The way I play the chords is (down) (down up) (up down). That sounds pretty similar to the song to me. :)

  • @wedontknowone "1im not judging or anything",

    Could have fooled me....

    Stick with it jumpydough

  • Best one yet :-) would be handy to know the strumming pattern

  • whats the strumming pattern

  • @jumpydough really?? 3 1/2 years and you couldnt do 3 chords? ive only been playing  for a year and i learned from books before i got internet! which was last christmas! im not judging or anything, but i just found it interesting!

  • @wedontknowone1 i'll b honest, my original guitar was very bad and chords never sounded good which put me off. I got a yamaha for christmas and after 1/4 hour of playing the chords were ok but i had no inspiration or direction left until I discovered Marty (my best friend & teacher died just after buuying the 1st guitar)

  • thank you so much. After 3.1/2 years on my own I couldn't string 3 chords together. After 1 month with you i can string 5 and I learnt this track in less than a week. Thank you again

  • i only started playing guitar after christmas and i'm so happy i've learnt this.. thank you so much! :D

    I hope it doesn't take me long either.

  • @Ojokernegro Thankz :D

  • YOur such a good teacher

  • for all of you who do not have a capo... you need these items;

    1 rubber band and 1 pencil (the wood kind)

    place the pencil on the fret you want capo'd

    stick one end of the pencil through the rubber band

    wrap the rubber band around the back of the guitar's neck and over the other side of the pencil, repeat this step till tightly fastened and hook the remainder of the rubber band on the pencil.

    i have been using this while on my deployment for the last six months since my capo broke.

  • aww i dont gots a capo

  • sick shirt

  • @ 3:46 did he flip us off???

  • @ROOMcomicINC no.

  • isn't it unfair to learn such songs and can't play them right because of a damn CAPO???

  • it's hard. i give up on 3:24. why its easy for everyone but not for me. damn =_='

  • @blissmie its hard for me dont feel messed up

  • thank you man .! thumb up so he can read my appreciation .. :D

  • how can u dislike this perfect tutorial

  • @ricojosue haha that's what i use at the moment and it works great

  • im 14 and this has really helped i cant play things like this , you really help alot thanks i shall learn some other songs on your other vids

    thanks marty !

  • I want to learn this. So bad. But i cant, until christmas D;

  • Marty, You Make My Guitar Playing Look Like Shit! Lol

  • thank you!

  • Guys, I know the song gets more difficult near the end, and Marty doesnt walk you through every single strum, but trust me, youll get lots better trying to figure it out yourself while play. Just learn those 4 cords and try it.

  • Thanks Marty!

  • what guitar is that

  • @xDany08x I'm pretty sure its a martin, don't quite know the model

  • Can you please make another video for how to play the FULL song? :)

  • I HAVE THE GOT THE SAME CAPO AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWW­WWWWWWWWWWWW!!

  • Strumming pattern: DD UDU

  • @22Jo44 thanks(: i was really confused on thattt....haha thanks

  • Comment removed

  • @22Jo44 :)

  • ok, you people want everything xplained? come on! do something for yourselves! at least figure out the strumming pattern! playing guitar is not about copy like a monkey and playing like a robot!

  • @rehf10

    I agree, the strumming pattern is pretty easy to figure out... Also if you palm mute the strings while picking the riff it will sound exactly the same as the record

  • i hate capo's

  • somebody copied gary jules mad world i dont see no sueing

  • hmmm... this would be helpful if i FOUND MY CAPO!!!

  • i had so much fun learning this, and when i learnt it i felt so proud lol! (dont hate trolls)

  • It would be "easy" if you explained all of it !

  • I cant find my capooo!!! Damn..:(

  • Strumming pattern for the chords is D DU UDU. Do this pattern once for each chord.

  • HA! 666th like.

  • @GlassShine360 no and it's called a capo if it's on the first fret it jus sound a lil different

  • PEASEE. WHATS THE STRUMMING PATTERRRN

  • Really cool.  You were the first tutorial I stumbled across and your instruction was spot on. Thanks man!!

  • CAPO. We meet again.

  • @davidbids27 if u dont have a capo u can make one out of a pen and a few rubber bands just look it up "how to make a capo"

  • @davidbids27 get a pencil with flat surfaces and 2 rubber bands ,and theres my capo =]

  • @ricojosue RUBBER BAND. We meet again. JK

  • @davidbids27 , sorry i'm such a newbie to guitar, but what does the capo do?

  • @TheMrAsianK it changes the key of the guitar david, like if you put a capo on the second fret it would up the key a whole step. so if you were 2 play a open G chord w/ the capo on the second fret it would be playing an A chord. understand?

  • @andre21371 ,ohh right . thanks mate ;)

  • @davidbids27 if you wanna play guitar i think you should get one..?

  • @davidbids27 Lolnoob.

  • Please don't ruin this radio!
