Hey man I just started to learn the guitar and I love this song. You taught it brilliantly and I just wanted to say keep it up and I hope to learn more from you. Thanks a lot man, really.
You are an absolutely incredible teacher. I suck so badly at arpeggio, and I actually did what you said and kept practicing it in front of the T.V, and got a little better at it, and I love how you speak beginner, and use small words that we not-so-professionals can understand. Thanks for the time you spent to do this.
@yourguitarsage I just thank you for putting your videos up for free, and actually going slow enough to understand. Also, at 0:51, are you bending the string, or what is that that you do? Adds a fine touch to the song, but can't quite figure it out. It's right after the step up the strings.
I recommended you to my friends Dad, i was over there fiddling around with his daughters guitar and he asked where i learned to play so good and I said youtube.. he said really?! I said yeah, I've always learned from this guy his names 'yourguitarsage' and this other guy Marty Schwartz. He asked me to write the names down he'd check them out =D
you are a guitar god. i am learning to play the guitar on my own and it works pretty fast, thanks for your videos.
by the way where do you give lessons? right now i live in germany but have to travel a lot because of my studies from summer on. i want to play the guitar together with you.
Just a few random facts about the song...in Shrek, John Cale actual does it, but for legal reason, I assume, Rufus's version ends up on the soundtrack.
Cale had seen Cohen do this "different", now popular version of the song in concert and later asked him if he could record it this way. The story goes, Leonard then gave Cale 15 pages of notes and lyrics!
@marcoupha Yeah you can still play this songit will just be in a lower key. It will sound the same. Don't let not having a capo slow you down! (Still there good to have)
hey Guitarsage ok so this is my first comment ever and your the first person i ever subscribed to but anyways i was wondering if you could do the legit jeff buckley version with the crazy entrancing intro and all the stuff how he does it exactly i would really like to learn it for a talent show my senior year any ways keep putin the videos out dude and thanks
Good job but one thing annoyed me.. You're not saying which strings you are playing in order when picking and it's also very difficult to see which you are playing cuz of the link of your. Please put it somewhere else so we can see which strings you are picking :)
Great job. The only thing I think could be better is if you put the link to your website at the top instead of at the bottom because it covers the guitar at the bottom.
Ok seriously, do you need a guitar that is long to play this song or something? Because I tuned it and I know its tuned right, and everytime I play the same as you, it doesn't seems to sound right.. This really fucked up, Almost all tutorial videos has a guitar that is long. So annoyed right..
@jhormanmoreira OK, I'm 44 and just a year into guitar and now I'm not only being messed with because I'm almost an old timer, but I'm in a wheelchair and now your bagging on the lame. Just joking, thanks for the tut. Very helpful.
This is a great video, but please, take off the title! You don't need it, it's redundant to the information posted under it, and it covers up your fingers. Not real helpful when trying to watch your hands! But thanks for doing this. I have to get the bar thing, I guess. Can't wait to learn this.
im confused with the but where you change from a C to a D .. could you please explain and also the little finger pick from G TO D i think it is? please help? :)
Ever notice when the singer says the forth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift. He's talking about the chords you are playing. The forth chord in the song and the fifth chord in the song and the minor fall means the Em chord. The major lift, he plays d major. He also says "but you don't really care for music do you"? It means that you aren't paying attention what he's saying or you don't know what the chords mean. Interesting.
@TheFingathing Yes, I always teach this song to my students in the number system and always mention to that to them. VERY cool. Very observant. Insanely cool song!
@TheFingathing no duh.... "i heard there was a secret chord... it goes like this..." what the heck was he supposed to be talking about? -.- french fries? ffs
@helldemon618 Hey man. I just noticed it and I didn't expect guitarists to not understand it. This is kind of unnoticeable to people who don't play guitar or piano.
Hey bud - I went from just buying a guitar and hardly knowing a chord to being able to play this song in an hour - plus I learned all the chords in the process - thanks a zillion!
Hey man! I've been playing original indy rawk for years. Just recently I started doing some covers for friends weddings - which actually got me a few payed wedding gigs. Your instructions are by far the best on youtube! You make light work, of what can be a dull and tedious experience. Most of the time, I can watch your instructions once, and no problem! Thanks a ton!!! Anytime I have I have a requested song I don't know, your the first I go to... even if it's one I've never heard before

I watched a bunch of your videos and finally decided to buy your eBook. I did not expect it to only cost $10. I think the package of charts and instructions combined with these well done youtube-lessons is insanely good compared to the price - thanks alot for your effort!
thank you so much for posting this video! I love this song I'm trying to play it! I', from Vietnam! you're ve helpful ,and your lesson is very clear! i can understand it easily! you're my teacher! hihi may I know my teaher's name is?
You rock dude, I like the way you play your guitar, but I'd like you could tell me how is the fingerpicking when you do an arpegio for this song, thanks and continue with this great lessons
@kimmobey You got that right.. I was waiting for the advert to fade out.. Lesson is free so guess u have to put up with a little crap.. Is a good lesson though
first, you're awesome, second, Im not sure if you take suggestions, but I'd love You belong to me (Jason Wade from lighthouse) which was also a shrek song.. That's be siicckkk!!!
Just to let you know... When you split the C/D chord, you play 6-4-1/4-3-1 (reffering to the strings). You can play them with both the 3rd and fourth finger together! It sounds like a full chord. Try it out. You can also add the third finger on the b string when you play your G chord. It sounds pretty cool too.
Awesome video, super helpful... one suggestion.... your watermark at the bottom of the screen covers both of your hands while you're playing. Kind of hard to see what you're doing while you're explaining it all.
I love the video. It helped. But a close-up on your hand how you move it is really defficult to see. So could you tell which strings you are using, because that would be wonderful. ;)
Thanks for the lesson..Cool to use the 5th position for the C chord..I really enjoyed this lesson..I de tune my 12 string for my voice, but the finger pick and chords were following your lead..Thanks..You are a great teacher..Way to go on sharing your experience with us..
@pjoach09 you could always play bar chords but if u don't then yepp you should have to use the capo to get it to sound like that (: the jeff buckley version is easier and you don't need a capo to play it. you can make your own capo, look it up (that might help) pencil and a rubber band should do the trick.
@rikki2200: bm is barring the second fret and then making an Am shape with your 2nd, 3rd and 4th fingers (i.e. 2nd finger, 2nd string 3rd fret from the capo, 3rd finger, 3rd string 4th fret and fourth finger fourth string fourth fret) takes a bit of getting used to, but you get there.
@zombiemig - dáddarios are a dec3ent choice for beginner or if you wanna go fancy / expensive then get elixir nanoweb for about 13pounds, 20 dollars.
@zombiemig ok...im not a master at guitar so this is gonna sound dorky, lol, but u play A, D, G, and for B and E you stum both of those with your ring finger at the same time!
@zombiemig Whenever you fingerpick it is good practice to use your thumb for the bass notes (E,A,D strings) and index for the G string, middle for the B string, and ring for the high e string. So the way he plays it a G chord would be: E string, G string, B string, e string, B string, G string OR thumb, index, middle, ring, middle, index. Your thumb is the only finger that picks different strings depending on the chord you play. The rest are dedicated to a string. Hope this helps.

not to rain on your parade, but instead of playing the Bm, it should really be D#dim. should be easier to play for beginners (i'm guessing this video is aimed at beginners, anyway), too (apart from being the "correct" chord ;-), if played with the root of the voicing on 1st fret od the "D"-string. besides that: good lesson, very intelligible.
I'm going to have to look at this all on paper or something anyway but you do realize that your hands on the guitar are covered by letters advertising the site?

I love the video. It helped. But a close-up on your hand how you move it is really defficult to see. So could you tell which strings you are using, because that would be wonderful. ;)

nice lesson, but putting your logo over the most important part of the video is making it very difficult to follow. Anyhow, thanks for sharing this.

do you have to use that keepo (that thing on the guitar neck)
pjoach09 1 year ago
@pjoach09 you could always play bar chords but if u don't then yepp you should have to use the capo to get it to sound like that (: the jeff buckley version is easier and you don't need a capo to play it. you can make your own capo, look it up (that might help) pencil and a rubber band should do the trick.

@rikki2200: bm is barring the second fret and then making an Am shape with your 2nd, 3rd and 4th fingers (i.e. 2nd finger, 2nd string 3rd fret from the capo, 3rd finger, 3rd string 4th fret and fourth finger fourth string fourth fret) takes a bit of getting used to, but you get there.
@zombiemig - dáddarios are a dec3ent choice for beginner or if you wanna go fancy / expensive then get elixir nanoweb for about 13pounds, 20 dollars.
happy playing

@zombiemig ??? What is 6:08?.. Tells you exactly strings to pick
CRAIGARRR 1 year ago
@zombiemig Whenever you fingerpick it is good practice to use your thumb for the bass notes (E,A,D strings) and index for the G string, middle for the B string, and ring for the high e string. So the way he plays it a G chord would be: E string, G string, B string, e string, B string, G string OR thumb, index, middle, ring, middle, index. Your thumb is the only finger that picks different strings depending on the chord you play. The rest are dedicated to a string. Hope this helps.

When playing the split measure CD you hit the root first and then which of the fingerings for the 2nd and 3rd?
ProjectBulbasaur 1 year ago
not to rain on your parade, but instead of playing the Bm, it should really be D#dim. should be easier to play for beginners (i'm guessing this video is aimed at beginners, anyway), too (apart from being the "correct" chord ;-), if played with the root of the voicing on 1st fret od the "D"-string. besides that: good lesson, very intelligible.

When you pick Em you dont really need to hold the Em chord right? Because you dont play those strings? just 6-3-2-1?
