[americanrides]

@XxTheLaagxX I'm really sorry, but I can't read or write tabs. :(

[216baylee]

Thank you!

[americanrides]

@216baylee You are very welcome! Dave

[americanrides]

OK guys, here are the chords in order. 1st time through the verse, G maj. to

G maj.9th, F#, E min., C maj. Then, 2nd time through verse, same thing, but, after the C maj. chord, play A min., B min., A maj., C maj. Now, the third time through, play G maj., G maj.9th, F#, E Min., C, A min., B min., (no A maj. this time, instead,) C maj., then, D maj. Now, reapeat. Maybe you guys can print this out if it helps.

[americanrides]

@98765432123456789987 No problem at all bro. We all have bad days man, no worries. And, I apologize as well. Its not very proffesional of me to react this way.

[vapaponce]

i cant get the strumming help me :/ 

[ItzSpringz]

can you list the chords in order?

[americanrides]

@ItzSpringz  I explained every chord and played it slow. What exactly do you need?? I am happy to help if I can.

Thanks man, Dave

[ItzSpringz]

@americanrides just a list of the chords in order that you played

[666JoFox]

@americanrides It's just that I thought I did not need to play this song .... I can't learn so many songs because I don't have the capo :(

[americanrides]

@666JoFox Any guitar store has them for about 15.00, very useful!

[666JoFox]

Sh*t muthafuck*n CAPO !!!!!!

[americanrides]

@666JoFox LOL, whats wrong with Capos? Some guitar players write their songs with them and thats the only way to play it. Good example " Here comes the sun" George Harrison and the Beatles. Almost every James Taylor tune too. They are a good thing too have, it helps with your voice too if you are having trouble singing in a certain key.

See ya,

Dave

[jmoctavo]

i cant get the intro :(

[americanrides]

@jmoctavo Practice, practice, practice!!!

[americanrides]

I'm really sorry, but I do not know how to give strumming patterns, it just comes naturally to me. Thanks for writing, I'm sorry I couldn't help!

Dave

[tomkatsman]

what's the strumming pattern??

[Tageroux]

Este tio si sabe O.O xd (Y)

[Corky733lad]

Ive been looking all over youtube for someone that actually plays the real version ! Thanks you helped me alot :)

[americanrides]

@Corky733lad Thanks, that makes me so happy to hear! Keep rockin' Dave

[americanrides]

Sure, you can use your 2nd finger for the G chord, then, when he plays the F sharp note (one down from the G) use your first finger. It is still a stretch, but you should be able to do it with practice. When I started playing, there were some chords I thought, No Way can that happen, but in time, it does! Hope that helped!

Dave

[andresloria]

[bst19878]

Merry Christmas!

Dave the guitar guy

[AlmereTheHague]

What kind of guitar do you have ? It's a classic guitar isn't it?

I really don't know:S

[americanrides]

Ah, thats alright. Its a Yamaha, about 38 years old, one of my first guitars, I love it!

[gladi8rvcd]

Great tutorial! Thanks for posting.

[americanrides]

Thanks man, hope it helped!

[MrKris1525]

best lesson on this song, and great instructions...you are right...the rest of the other tutorials didn't sound anything like the song

[americanrides]

Thanks for the nice review, I sure do appreciate it!

[Renny4you]

kan you play it slower for my

[americanrides]

Man, all I can really say is, keep pausing it until you get it. Thats how I figure songs out, I watch their hands very closely, then, pause, and go back and do it over and over. Hope that helps a little!!!

Dave

[alexandraalim]

Hey thank you, it helped so much :) But may i know the strumming patterns please?

[Rozq87]

lol dave you've got to lose the mustache!! ;p

[americanrides]

Hey Pawel,

Thats chocolate milk..LOL Don't I have a mustache in most of the videos? :}

Dave

[americanrides]

Mustache is gone now buddy!

[Gubbelinho]

great job, thank you, in my opinion one of the best tutorials for introducing me..*thumps up* ;)

[americanrides]

Thanks man, I couldn't find anything remotely close, so, I wanted to jam it with my daughter who sings it. So, I figured it out by ear. Thanks again! Dave

[c0kochanel]

Thank you for this great video! But could you write me all the chords it should play forward? I am a beginner.

Thank you in advance!

And sorry for my English, I'm French

[americanrides]

On this video, I do not hold up the chord charts but I do say what chords they are. The best advice I could give is, find an online guitar chord chart website, there are literally thousand out there for free. They are very helpful, because they show where each finger goes for each chord. I also have a video on here that shows basic major chords, try that too! Your English is fine! Thanks for writing! Dave

[akomexhasa09]

wow i like it.. good job! :) but how about the strumming pattern??? :(

[americanrides]

Oh man, the 10,000,000 dollar question.LOL To be honest, I am self taught and everyone asks me about strumming patterns on my videos. I honestly don't know how to explain that part, I wish I could help you!!! All I can say is, listen to the original very closely and just get in the groove. Even on this video, I had just learned the song and I am off a bit. I did it because my daughter is singing it in a talent show, so, I wanted to practice with her. He kinda chucks it, if that makes any sense.

[ufolive1]
