It's beautiful.

[iRULEGUITARHERO405]

[jzman123qwe]

thanks.

[RieMixX3]

Do u always use a pick 2 play? J/w, because I have a pick, but right now I'm learning w/ simply my fingers and I wanted to know if this same, clean strumming sound can be achieved through the fingers?

Btw, thanks 4 the upload! *LIKE* ^_^

[Merel90]

I suck singing so I like it ;-)

[scottwitchell123]

peope who feel the need to leave negative comments...there the ones who struggle with the song! Good lesson like always!

[BeautySpoofs]

what is the strumming pattern?

[mtbfreestyler990]

@BeautySpoofs he tells you at 2:15 but u can adjust it to yourself anyway

[GleekDiannaAgron]

@BeautySpoofs the strumming pattern is: D DD U UD UD DU

[mamoonshah]

Great job. Keep up the good work.

[boxxyfan100]

You're shit,

[lifesoeasy]

@boxxyfan100 Prove you're better then, 5 year old.

[Rearbottoms]

@boxxyfan100 You have no idea of what singing is about, that's why you just don't get the fact that he can't sing that high. And an octave lower is too low. It's a stupid frustrating song: the singer adapted it to his high-pitched voice. I can't sing it either because of this.

[JustJaida]

thank's a lot. :)

[IGSTaaRI]

Willy Wonka want's his umpa lumpa back

[ellenlllll]

[bumnugget89]

[ODAL123]

[darthinvadh3r]

lol a "G" chord is pretty exciting :54

[MVPqb006]

hey man you actually do have a really good voice.. honestly you could be your own little band... not saying your jack johnson or your like him playing or singing but band wise you could have it like him.. if that makes sense.. but thanks for all your videos!!! your a really good guy! keep it up!!

[PsychoBeast1980]

Fail. These aren't tabs

[alfildoman]

that is rubbish it sounds nothing like that

[sridharakella1995]

No body cares the jumping fuck whether his singing is good or not. His guitar playing's good. 

[sinneramugstthesaint]

is it possible to play this song with out capo? If so please explain. :-]

thanks

[guitarplayer516]

@sinneramugstthesaint yes, if you have three hands.

[landonb2012]

@sinneramugstthesaint you cant really play the chords without a capo unless you barre them, but if you look up the tabs you can play the intro and you play around the 12th fret.

[LoadsOfMakeUp4You]

Umm ppl obviously ur watching the video for help and so maybe you shouldn't be so rude to him. Thanks for the video it helped so much :)

[Scumpernickle]

Cheers to making such a great lesson. I think your singing is fine, screw what the trolls say. They're still giving you views :D

[Neo66]

Singing talent is irrelevant in this video. I'm very thankful that he sings it, because that makes it really easy to put the guitar part together with the voice line. More people doing tutorials should do this. Thank you gally042!!!

[cadevereaux]

wow really just shut the fuck up ppl where are your videos? huh

[jennaynay16]

you are amazing almost every song i know how to play i learned it from you thanx :)

[chikimarsi]

[wolverinejones1]

@DatRealShit22 thank you omg! no offense is so fucking stupid! its like your retarded no offense. omg fuck tard! that really pisses me off when people say that. Ive always been like omg it is offensive you retard. saying no offense doesnt help! but now i just walk away and don't talk to them

[marcosbop148]

[tgz1000]

This song is offensive to geocentrists, who don't believe the earth turns at all.

[johnyu484]

You never did type out the strum pattern. :(

[shack12345678]

@johnyu484 ya he never type it

[12multipaige]

[shovedup]

@12multipaige He is teaching guitar, not singing. He doesn't have to learn to sing.

And, nobody gives a flying fuck about you singing better or not.

[randybrongo]

you said it! His singing isn't bad + he's not a singer and doesn't claim to be.. This guy has helped me so much w/guitar.. for free! Thanks Gallagher!

[randybrongo]

@shovedup you said it! His singing isn't bad + he's not a singer and doesn't claim to be.. This guy has helped me so much w/guitar.. for free! Thanks Gallagher!

[gaiolinn]

@12multipaige First, you can't sing at all. My ears ache from listening to you.

Second, you clearly have been skipping english classes to come post comments no one wants to read on youtube.

[emeliegewert]

[KyleReese2029]

[peaceandlove921]

you fail.

[msuspartans03]

nice job man, appreciate it

[paulomatiz]

fail singing

[CrownRoyal1945]

@paulomatiz stfu just kidding, but the point of this video was to teach you how to play the guitar not how well you have to sing it, its just that if you learned how to play the song, he did his job. :D no hard feelings.

[TheKiTKaTKaNdi]

@ThingsMarchBrings

a capo is a small movable bar placed across the fingerboard of a guitar or similar instrument so as to raise the pitch of all the strings uniformly to make it easier for u to kow where to put your fingers

Hope i helped :)

[ThingsMarchBrings]

whats a capo?

[CaptainP00face]

@ThingsMarchBrings

Google it, u can put it on your neck of the guitar to get in a diffrent tone, it's like a barre chord idea but then in a lazy way.

[AdeleLewis1singer]

lol ur singing

[terenceheng83]

great job on the guitar tab...

[bartstoppel]

lesson is kind of ok but dude.. stop singing in your vids...

im not fighting but seriosly... just dont do it...

[halogearsofdutyauto]

1:29 is way to funny!!!!!

[angelofchaos100]

what is the chord F?....is it an F major 7th or what is it ...i mean these r examples but how do you play that chord thats in the video?

[HighWireken]

Exactly the same as u would play your F chord on the first fret

Bar the first fret and grab an E :)

[Fabian050680]

Fmaj

0

1

2

3

0

0

[UrSkulled]

Theoretically speaking thats F maj 7th, Because your adding the 7th (the E) to the F chord instead of doubling the root.

[abhijitgupta]

when someone just says F, it means F major!

[babywuigi16]

holt shit he can sing good...XD

[Kandy25Bubbles]

COMPLICATED!!!!

but im a buginner and im pretty good for one but STILL!!!

[colt4494]

true but picking the intro is hard for me haha

[Ugliest1uEVERsaw]

Thanks! This is a great tutorial!

[orangeskittles22]

this was very helpful! thanks!

[1995Guitarman]

n1 lesson but how to make a F?^^

[MonopoliHotel]

öhm you can sing so good but you had helped me^^

[dragonduf]

what can i do if i dont have a cappo?

[DutchLyricsGirl]

Buy one ;)

[pspguru96]

Can't you just move up on the fretboard instead of using a capo? I dunno if it'll work with this, but it workrd while I was playing the scientist.

[princemacrae]

is it possible to play it on one string

[TheUnknownClover]

Wat the heck is up with the phone? can't u let slide. unless it's impotant.

[PWNDEST]

Thanks! That really helped! The problem I have with every song is that it's really hard for me to keep a strum pattern going while singing to a different pattern... UGGG! It's so frustrating!!!

[NickelbackHero31]

@PWNDEST I know right? It's especially hard if you JUST learned the lyrics. Or guitar.

[charmedfanxXx]

@PWNDEST same problem hereXD

[topj800]

what helps me at first is to get the chords down to where you know them with out looking and then just play the song slower while singing to pick up where the words change, it takes a while for this multi tasking skill to develop but keep practicing and it will get stronger, and easier to sing and play. good luck.

[PWNDEST]

@topj800 thanks! I'll keep that in mind and try it! Thanks!

[doEverythinggood]

@topj800 that is what i did it took me like 2 hours but now i can do it for any song right away:P

[topj800]

good job, so now as you learn more songs it will get easier.

[Megzrose96]

your amazing :) thank you sooo much with this song !! its has helped me loads :D

[rayluvridge]

[takarakamika]

[RationalSteely]

works best if you make your own up so u get the feel of the song yourself, its more effective, i do it to all of my songs i learn and it always sounds 100 times better if you variate your own =]

[JudeDomingo]
