"First Day Of Of My Life" Tutorial

[lolaloogenschlooger]

Thanks a million! This was the only guitar tutorial that's ever done me any good!

[cwkinzer]

Hey thanks man, this is gonna help out a lot:)

I really liked how descriptive you were down to each finger, it's a bit overkill on some stuff like the c chord haha but on the more obscure things it helped a lot. Thanks again.

[barredfrompup]

Hold ctrl and try to like this

[indieRPF]

btw you say Em after transition but mean Am

[rachelzhe]

cool man, this is useful

[EnhanceTheTruth]

Strumming pattern is D/UDU I think.

[ldr1997]

Your guitar sounds like it has a flanger/phaser effect. :))

[irvineadvil90]

@AsianG1rl

just keep listening to the song and palm mute and just try learning it by ear not that hard just practice(:

[GabyV96]

i like your voice! Hehe

[Glassjawacts]

Thanks dear friend.

[videofunfuntime]

thank you man... cheers. great job

[stlouisfan05]

Your voice makes me want to shoot my self in the face with a 12 gauge shotgun.

[WooHoo507]

I love how you sang Am7 xP I love our tutorials sooo much x)

[blinkwinklove]

It very good, you should show us the rhythm next time too .. please !!

But awesome job !!

[tomofromrearth]

merci et d'ailleurs votre mignon hehehe peut-etre autrefois moi et vous pourrait avoir une petite session ;)

[zackalen]

asome tuttorial!!!

but i would very much appreciate it if u make a vid on the strumming pattern. :)

[myducklips17]

This tutorial was great! :) thank you so much. You have a very cute way about you too hahah and i love your voice! :)

but thanks again! :)

[vip1221]

the strumming pattern would be helpful but good job

[sk8trism]

what is the strumming pattern ?

[hochverrat]

no barrés, please. sounds awful.

[idlehands1111111111]

hey search this and watch him play it. Bright Eyes - First Day Of My Life (LIVE)

hes playin it way different

[oasisfan04]

Hi, good tutorial, but try the following chord in the difficult part in the chorus when it goes " but I'd rather be working for a paycheck.." x03230 and later after the chorus in the melodic part x03230, x06560, x06568 or x065800. i think it sounds better than the barre chords...anway, good lesson though

[VerseJer333]

Keep it up man good work!

[albilucha]

yeahh cool i loved it nicejob;)

[natashak94444]

You're so indie. :D

I appreciate this. Thanks!

[Orangatanq]

I think the strumming pattern is D D U D U .

But I'm just guessing :)

[mvCasanova1]

Hey Thank you so much!!! that was a great lesson!! If you could by any chance do heartbeats by Jose Gonzales that would be great!!! thanks again

[mvCasanova1]

wow you are really good at teaching...thats great how you sang the chords...it did really help!!! thank you!! And if you could do Heartbeats By Jose Gonzales that would be wicked!!! good job!!

[amadlook]

great video man

[MysteriosDI]

Dude!!! teach me how to sing and play the guitar at the same time cuz I REALLY SUCK!! And i mess up my chord strumming everytime i do try to do it, I want to play this for someone on christmas day or new years eve, Thanks so much if you reply!

[partlycloudyholiday]

Thank youz! :D

[MrLightningFace]

hey just want to say this is a good lesson. its tough for me to learn stuff im an idiot lol but you do it patiently and explain everything which is perfect. thx!

[BluDavid100]

you look just like me!

ill have to send you a picture someday

[41Blop182]

Yay ! I now know how to play this beautiful song ! And this is thanks to you ! Thank you very much , it really helped me ! You're kind of a great teacher ! ^^

Merci beaucoup ! =)

[duck97]

@41Blop182 du rien!

[skittlez609]

YES plz help me with the strumming dawg. i honestly have no idea what im doing THIS SONGS TOO HARD FOR ME!!! I DONT NORMALY PLAY GUTAIR IMA SUCKY BASS PLAYER!!!!!! I stand in back and do nothing *cry*

[lilballerina]

This was awesome! Thanks man.

[HBMAN1995]

Please tell me ASAP... What is the chord at 2:30? I couldn't understand you when you said what it was? Thanks.

[Adamwaddum]

@HBMAN1995 That's an F. XX3211

[nace112]

You play your G's really weird

[Adamwaddum]

@nace112 It's called an open G, it's a G without the added D on the B string. It's much much better(easier) for this song, and the proper way to play it for this song anyway.

[zankunxD]

hey can you do a video only play and singing ? thx

[manursracing]

c'est super bien expliqué, tu gères mec, bravoooooooooo

[duck97]

@manursracing Du rien =)



[heyjude97]

i havent played guitar in over a year! thank you for making me want to play again!!

[ForeverKimical]

It would be nice if you could go over the strumming portion. I was confused as to what strings to pick and strum. And wow, my F sucks. I need to practice that. haha :)

Overall, it was a good lesson. But will you teach the strumming part?? :D

[theJamodog]

Love this tune, youve helped me a lot but i go to pieces when i try to sing, I cant keep the strum pattern going LOL

[Boldtrash]

Dude, great job. I love the ending, it really helped get those chords down. lol. keep it up

[duck97]

@Boldtrash , thanks, and I will keep 'em up. I need to do more bright eyes / connor oberst songs...

[rrbelriz]

i only can say that it was great!!

[tintinet]

Nice lesson and great singing!

[matoy77]

Don't have a capo? Buy one or use a pen and elastic band. Lol.

[blendmake]

your a good singer

[blendmake]

thankyou this was really helpful

[Yimitixwi]

you sound like paul mcartney :)

[duck97]

@Yimitixwi , I take that as a huge compliment, he is one of my favorite singers of all time =)

[Yimitixwi]

@duck97 You Took It the right way I'm glad to see :]

[beepr89]

thankyou very much. :D

[IDarkNight]

thanks master!!

[TilaTequila73]

great tutorial but can you make a video fore the strumming pattern?

[indieRPF]

@TilaTequila73 world's most common strumming pattern works fine.. DDU UDU

[ForGnarnia]

@TilaTequila73 Listen to the song a bunchload and it comes pretty easily.

[hirlow]

thanks!! im so happy you explained how to do the different chords, im (very!) new at this, so it was really helpful!! :D

[paloerc]

thanks dude!

[thirdstripe19]

does anyone know if there is a brighteyes guitar book for im wide awake its morning

[Indeedism]

BUt what about the right hand?

[Noogit1]

Do you have ears?

[Croce149]

Why does everyone complan about him not explaining the strumming pattern?

It's not that hard to listen to the song and figure it out.. Just takes some time.

[jojordanify]

o ya thats great i have no idea how the strumming pattern is thanks

[bluecheesegirl]

the first part is a base note strum pattern but yea. this is really unhelpful.

[GoodRocks]

thanks bro.

[MeminPenguin31]

it helped lol :D thanks dude i finally learned it :]

[DeLUca33]

can you make a video to show how the strumming is

[dheejhaay]

yes please? xD I'm tryna play it via ukuele and I can't figure out the strumming.

[democratsdominatee32]

those chords @ 8:12 and 8:14, is there a different way to play them? cause for some reason that chord sounds off on my guitar.

[crushy3]

lol, kaypo? CAPO. CAPO. FUCKING CAPO. Good tutorial.

[ForbiddenVegetable]

It's pronounced like that, you fucking moron.

[crushy3]

I looked it up, looks like most brits say it my way but I think your way is the official. Sorry! You don't have to be such a prick about it though.

[ForbiddenVegetable]

I'm sorry. I have problems. I see professionals about it.

[shishi14panda]

yeah i said caypo and my sister/guy at music store were like "no it's capo ;D "

THANKS A LOT DUCK. ;-;

[flipro23]

great tutorial. i love this song, and i'm so glad i can play it now!

[armdylxarmageddon]

strum pattern is a bitch D:

[klarolivia]

i've been writing it all down, now I'll try and play it :)

Thanx for posting :)

Peace

[Beautiworld0]

xD you look like an swedish artist named Timbuktu... he looks just like you :P havent started looking but im sure it's great

[duck97]

Thanks everyone =)

[navyfieldrocks]

Holy shit ... You look JUST like someone I went to college with in Greenock called sud.. You have a much much higher voice though.

[CertainlyaThrill]

Is this song in 3/4?

[ChirnefD]

Thanks for that video . I looked a long time for a tutorial for that great song to play... THANKS SO MUCH. its great

5 stars from germany

[RamusVincini]

ah wish you showed the strumming.. thats what i have problems with...

[AnnaBellaExtacy]

just do DDU UDU.....it sounds almost exactly the same....

once you're used to that, throw some random high string picking in there, until it sounds like the recorded version.

[suckcommenter]

nice

[kiaru123]

sigh i suck at trying to find the struming patterns by ear,but hey this tut help a whole lot

thanks abunch

[nickisanarchistalive]

loll, thank yu, good tutorial :D

[knf1996]

THANK YOU

[justintimberlake123]

I would love to play this song and I got everything down, your tutitorial is amazing great.

But I can't play cause I have the chubbiest fingers and they are short. So I would be able to play. :(

[MrTitchboi]

just work on it, you can if you try (:

[justintimberlake123]

Aw(:

Thanks I needed that!

[smile4squiggles11]

this is awesome!! thanks so muuuuchh!

[xitdonthurtx]

hey bro u are a great teacher

thanks man

[NoWitnessesNoRegrets]

best homemade tutorial on youtube

[sophilosophie]

when i try it, it sounds NOTHING like you XD , i guess i'm needing your talent too :P , sadly , no tutorials are avaible for that haha.

[nomis69]

lol you dont need talent to play just practice

[remix75014]

I'am French and now I can have many Girls because French girls love this song :)

Thank you for all

See you then

[fuzion23]

thanks man thats much appreciated, can you just hit me up with the strumming pattern your using?

[r0cknf0lle]

thank you so muuuuuuch : )

[ThereIsNoTimeForUs]

Btw; I can play the strumming pretty good, but when I want to sing as well, I cant really think about both things at the same time, so I play the song in a more simple way. It sounds good too, not exactly like the original but you can hear what song it is.

[ThereIsNoTimeForUs]

Thank you for putting up this video! It really helped. As many other people said; you really should be a teacher, if you can handle the correcting-tests-part of it. You would be great!

[SnowLashes]

nice!

[sydneyxbby]

This really helped me a lot,

you're great at teaching, you should consider it as a real job :)

I'm having trouble with the F but I'll keep trying,

thanks a lot !

[NiggieTheMagicalJoo]

Thank you!!!

[milky54]

Thank you so much for the tutorial. I found a tab, but it didn't sound right at all...I especially appreciated the bar Dminsus2 or whatever it was, I really couldn't figure out what it was...thanks again, keep up the good work!

[duck97]

will do!

[gothecold]

thanx man!any plans for anymore bright eyes tutorials?

[duck97]

I'm thinkin about it.

you know "Bowl of oranges" or "road to Joy"?

those are a couple of easy songs to teach. I might just do those when I can.

[Detth2you]

...I'd love you if you did a tutorial for "Bowl of Oranges" I <3 that song

[zebra6626]

what is the strumming pattern for this?

great job!!

[fluxbios]

Edison, you are the best. I've followed several of your tutorials (at least 7 of them) and they're all great. I know this kind of work and dedication takes time. I appreciate it. I used to be a tab person, but now I know the value of a tutorial. You are a great teacher. Kudos. You will succeed in life!

[duck97]

thanks! this whole tutorial thing has made me think of being a teacher, possibly, because I love to teach things. at the same time, i don't think i could deal with the testing, homework correcting, and all that...it's something i have to think about.

[dacookielad]

I LOVE YOU

[joelhensen]

good video....easy to understand unlike many of the tutorial videos on youtube.

[duck97]

glad it was clear and all, thats my goal

[barncroft]

nice! just looking through your vids and found this, didnt know the song so listened to it on limewire and thought... BRILLIANT! thanks for the tut im gonna sub =]

[duck97]

gives me the warm fuzzies, knowing I've turned someone else on to this song =)

it's one of my all-time favorites.

[ffs7313]

can you please explain the strumming? the chords together sound right, but i can't figure out the strum pattern :S

great video though

[duck97]

just figure out the strumming by how the song sounds, i dunno how i can teach that. i just play it so it sounds natural

[thisislucushere]

thank you this really did help I appreciate the effort. From Luke Ashford England. would be nice for you just to add another video showing that other hand. I appreciate I could work it out but I am rubbish at that kind of thing. Thanks again.

[gibsonlespaul2]

HEY!! I played it!! =]

Now I need to find my capo. Lol

Good tutorial!

[duck97]

cheers =)

[pharm30]

good job - I can't get the 5577 chord to sound like yours for some reason...

[duck97]

you mean the 557755? as in, which fret they're in, from bottom to top string?

[pharm30]

yeah, I don't know. I think I may have missed the fact you are barring the 5th fret.

Good lesson. Thanks

[hippie2049]

What's going on with the strumming hand?

[duck97]

just play what sounds right I guess, can't really explain it

[gibsonlespaul2]

I think you need to do a cover of "Sorry" - BuckCherry

DO IT!

lol

I'll make a cover of it later.

but you have to make me a promise, if i email it to you.

Can you crop in on the video and sing and play along?

Cheers!

-Brandon-

[marels18]

[duck97]

[allstarz2414]
