[snazzybowtie]

this keeps freezing at 1:56. damn i really wanna see the rest of this

[yotatchi7]

Can someone tell me the tab for the D chord he plays? It doesn't look like the normal xx0232.

[binarysolo2]

@yotatchi7 it would be 2x023x, the thumb can wrap around or you can put your index finger up on the second fret.

Until your voice cracks.

[KyFlyHoney]

this is really awesome! I just wish you played it straight through from beginning to end so I can get the transitions to sound right.. but thanks for the awesome vid! <3 Bon Iver <3

[IndyBob35]

[emoXrificXspific]

dude, cannot for the LIFE of me figure out the strum pattern...maybe it's super obvious and I'm not getting it because I'm just that dense but....a little help? :)

[kingcrick]

Unreal! Thanks man

[jakel145]

[JoObse]

[chiccafragola]

[twilight298]

thanks for posting this up! i have been in love with this song recently and i wanted to play the guitar so this was really helpful :)

[wizzardgizzard]

thank you so much for posting this, I can't quite read tabs yet and just getting the chords down was what I needed!

[TheVoidOfWhatever]

@binarysolo2 Thank you for the kind comment. :)

And yeah, the energy from that video is so raw! I just love it! :D

Oh, yeah, I've noticed that Justin is playing with a capo on the seventh fret, and the other guitarist is using no capo. Either way, thank you for your time and keep on rockin'! :)

[Justinalexanderb]

Great lesson on how to play this in standard tuning man. You're a fantastic teacher. Way to go bro.

[TheVoidOfWhatever]

Thanks for the tutorial! :D

[deldog92]

Great Video. Just wondering what the basic strumming pattern your using is?

[OldSchoolRomantic]

One of the best tutorials I have seen. You're brilliant.

I'm just a beginner and I actually understood everything. Unlike other tutorials. Thank you very much.

[casparharvey]

wat is the fingering for your D chord, cos it sounds much nicer than just the standard position?

good video though!

[binarysolo2]

@casparharvey I just play the standard D shape but leave the bottom note on the high E string off of the chord, and instead mute it by just letting my fingers forming the rest of the chord rest on it. I also play the open A string and pull my thumb around to mute the top E string. That combination gives it that more boroque sound. The tab would look like... X 3 2 0 0 X and then later on in the verses I play... X 3 2 0 X 2

By far the best instructional video I've seen on youtube. You're an excellent teacher. Any chance you could do a more in depth instruction on the strumming pattern? I just can't seem to get it for some reason.

@DetroitDregs I don't think this is what he does but i find down down down up down up works fine

[kkc0161]

@DetroitDregs in case you haven't figured it out already:

D D D U D U D D D U D U D D D U D U...it's the same throughout the song. at least thats what i got when i listened to the song (you can also tell the rhythm from listening to it. i'm a beginner and i picked up on it) . on the last up you change chords, but not on every one, obviously.

[lalalaalydia]
