[danthedevilofmk]

Thank you so much! This has been very helpfull for someone who is starting a band with some friends and has no idea how to play 'Wake Me Up When September Ends' thank you so much. how long did it take you to learn this?

[AmSat15]

The dirty mind i have was like YEAH LEAVE THE G-STRING OPEN!

[ImmortalGurl97]

One of the few people that actually teaches it the right way, but he does it in a complicated way though.

[NaYoKaY]

[GummBear1414]

[thelegaltrap]

[SparklingFalls]

[fallingforeverstar]

I was like O.O.... When I saw 138,614 videos !!!

[dirtd3vils]

[LOVRIka]

[TheJaymes1234]

GRR cant you just call them string 1 etc? Its so hard to remember G string and D string.. just call them strings 6/5 or whatever

[DaniellesMUSICxx]

Tip: If you can't play the C and C minor barre chords just play a normal A on the 5th fret and pick D, G, B, D, G,B and for the C minor play a normal Am on 4th fret and pick the same strings. Still sounds good :)

[godzillaarmy99]

wrong g string!!!!!!!!

[fechudura]

okay i got lost after the intro fml

[ZeldaLonaqm765]

also Be kind and nice with me and I will be with you

[fireballkirby]

[om1234kar]

On some website I read that you can play an a chord on the fifth fret for barre c and am for cm barre.

[chrstnjncrls]

[ComfortWipe32]

The G-string-guy

[theoutsideher]

the title for this doesnt say for beginners, so get over it if you cant play it, im a very beginner guitar player and i only had to watch this once and had it down, so lets just work on your basic pentatonic scales if you cant play this, lol, keep up the good work man!

[unknownally]

The C major is so hard to press when trying to keep up with the beat. My fingers are short and I can't reach. Is there a certain way to do this?

[achu631]

u r gud dude

[kapeep7320]

my fingers keep touching the other strings :( how can i prevent that?

[raineeugene]

@kapeep7320 press only with the tip of your finger

[Xxtony12345xX]

his voice is so annoying,

[farahqutab1]

U are A good teacher .but I can't play the song because the strings hurt so freakin much!!my fingers are numb and yesh I am a beginner

[Shelbolaus]

You're not a very good teacher. You need to be more specific in the picking area. you just refer to them as these strings. not good for a beginner. just sayin.

[cheeseonamonkey]

@Shelbolaus

Learn the strings.

Eddie Ate Dynamite, Good Bye Eddie

EADGBE

If you expect people to care-bear you through everything, then you will never learn!

The first month or so of learning an instrument is the hardest.

[jdenxrocks]

@cheeseonamonkey ha thats what i used to use

[TheMusicBoxes]

green day rocks!

[warnerkickass123]

im tired of the same old adverts LOL

[zhezaeveza]

OMG he got 138,564 video in his channel !!!

[YWazz]

@zhezaeveza not a way

[Deartinyone]

you're a good teacher :)

[analogblue]

Green day are still gay and their fans are even gayer

[liLDustyy]

@analogblue Grow up.

[EdmundLCF]

@analogblue It takes one to know the others. Oh ya, Get A Life!

[TheJabberwockMt2]

can you write the position of frets, fingers and strings? because my english is bad, and i don't understand you :(

[k3WL3sTP3rS0n]

@TheJabberwockMt2 :(

[tpluskforeverer]

You sir are a horrible teacher

[Pixierain4]

[SmileyGirlXO]

I suck at barring... it..it..hurts mah fingers :'(

[mikewantssomeapple]

nice guitar tune

[amjadify1]

from now you are my great teacher....

[audiluvsu]

what strings do u play when u start the C-major chord???

[tylerddurden]

this guy sucks at teaching.

[rgb120]

@tylerddurden and you can do better?

[YellowMazdaRX7FD3S]

@inazumaninjutsu amen dude

[strawberrykiss1996]

bahahahahaha he said g-string:) at 0:19

[mhummel1979]

people chill out not a bad lesson, its an easy song to play, pause the vid if he goes fast, get the tabs to go along with it.

[anythingoes129]

i can see you at great hieghts... accouncing 4 baseball games (and up now #13 a l ex ROd riGUIEZ!)

[rafael72270]

bass string are ussuall used by the tumb and the rest he explains wich finger you need

[dyd84]

watch?v=CnGXdyPZgks

[1Mattfoster]

he plays guitar like an idiot. Beginners shouldn't have their thumb like he does. ignore this video.

[inazumaninjutsu]

@1Mattfoster thats how i put my thumb . why is it wrong?

[BLOODYMOON62]

its called the pause button lol everyone is freaking out on this guy

[gabbylovesshortstack]

Why cant you just say 1st,2nd Ect for the strings? Its really werid when im like "Wtf?...wih ones the D again:?"

[yomammaonastick]

haha too fast? press the pause button then then again maybe im better at picking this up since ive been playing bass for a year and a half i just bought my first acoustic so naturally im looking for easy songs to learn

[kennah44]

wow dude, you are VERY helpful!! I'm totally going to learn thiis (:

You may do it a liiittle fast, but that's what pause is for. I think you make it very idiot proof! Yay! I just have a hard hard time bar coding. Any suggestions for getting bettter at it?

-Thanks again!

[jakobwolf10]

to fast



[MrsBillieJoe14]

CURSE U SHORT FINGERS!

:(



[davejimbobjim]

@CaptOxBig Eddie

Ate

Dynamite

Good

Bye

Eddie eadgbe simple

[CaptOxBig]

@davejimbobjim Thanks but now I use--- Every Artist Does Good By Examples

[kaezerky09]

@CaptOxBig try this phrase for guitar string names .. Eddie Ate Dynamite Good Bye Eddie.. (just a suggestion)xD

[xXRossyboyXx]

from top to bottom E A D G B E

[shelloz09]

what do I do if my fingers don't bend that way?!

[ilyjoesphadam]

You're not even singing the song, and just the chords themselves send chills all over me, truly beautiful song.

[cooliopeace33]

@CaptOxBig I'll help you, the E string (the lowest string) is the sixth string, the one highest up from the ground. A is the fifth, D is the fourth, G is the third, B is second and E is first. :) I just realized this is from two months ago and you probably learned the guitar string names, but here's some help anyways!

[CaptOxBig]

@cooliopeace33 Your very generous lol

[SIUcwb]

Dude, it is the first song I can say I've learned to play a little bit better than others I"ve beeing trying to... Thanks again!

[TinUser3739]

Lol "we're going to leave the G-String open" XD

[nathanlippert]

Good lesson! If you're looking for just some examples of finger picking, check out my page. If you're not, then don't.

[CodyWhyatt7]

I Can't make out what this guy is saying so... WAKE ME UP WHEN THIS VIDEO ENDS !!!

[teala010]

@CodyWhyatt7 whatsoever understanding the guy... look up the lyrics. :P

[CaptOxBig]

@crookedflush Are you inbred?

[wickedjjcklown]

@CaptOxBig xD You can learn whole songs but you can't take the time to learn 6 letters?

[CaptOxBig]

@wickedjjcklown You can comment but you cant realize that i dont give a shit?

[Tkstylerules]

need to go through what strings to pluck as well not just the cords (:

[BMXBOBO]

i once broke a g string fingering a minor :-/

[MetalliMan0521]

@CaptOxBig Because this is a lesson for people who know a thing or 2 bout the guitar and arent just trying to impress people? duh

[CaptOxBig]

@MetalliMan0521 Why else would someone play guitar other than to impress people? without an audience music is just sounds IDIOT.

[Zymophore614]

@MetalliMan0521 I'm sorry sir but...the information in this video says that "Wake me up when september ends ong guitar is EASY.Now try to understand why there are guitar newbies here sharing there thoughts.Sheesh --_--

[punch1makano]

MUY BUENA AMIGA GRAX POR ESA ENSEÑANSA QUISA NO ENTIENDES MI IDIOMA PERO LO TRADUCES OLLE CHEBRE A ^^

[NSLEandrejpt]

@CaptOxBig lol then wtf are u doing here?

[CaptOxBig]

@NSLEandrejpt Learning how to play this just like everybody else, you?

[CaptOxBig]

@applejuce TV I guess your pretty stupid. First off you posted you opinion twice. Second letters are not words. Third you have no meaning on this planet. You dont realize, Im not caring about your failed comment

[applejuceTV]

CaptOxBig youre too stupid to learn 6 words? you poor little thing. stop complaining man thats the first tutorial on guitar ive seen thats actually really good. most people doing tutorials on youtube are jerks that feel better if they make a bad tutorial an put it online. i just had to say that.

[applejuceTV]

Dont complain. If youre too stupid to learn the names of 6 strings, then you cant be too clever, I suppose.

[SparkaliLaPop]

@applejuceTV Kind of made the same point twice there.....

[Mokuramuka]

why do you play the guitar without knowing "string names" ?

[CaptOxBig]

@Mokuramuka Because i know the Viola strings and notes and i wanna just learn how to play a song not learn the strings duh

[CaptOxBig]

@EnZiGaming Your grammar is a bit off. its "on" and I was looking for the way to play this. I didnt search string names for a reason. get it straight or get off.

[LuxARTSproductions]

o_O Thanks u!!!!!!

[oc1omaen]

I get on youtube to AVOID commericals!

[TazRxable]

lol you fingered a minor and broke the g string

[rocker1chic]

did he just say ''green days'' DAYZ !!!!

-.-''

[ratkiuuz]

what the hell my fingers are small like hell, I cant take whole tab.

[123thepark]

@ratkiuuz u just need to practice, i also had trouble when i started, mostly with bar chords but just gotta keep practicing that and ull make it ;)

[GreenDaay32]

The Best :D

[GreenDaay32]

The Best :D

[BJGreenDay95]

god! where's the slow motion button? you explain it very fast!

[shadowriser22]

it seems like they made this video by trying not to make it too long. Thats nice and all but he left out the picking pattern when he goes into the chords.

You have to pause and slowly watch which ones he picks...

[EMOMJGIRL]

thank you !:D 

[fafaffu2]

why i can't see the video?



[TheKinshin]

my hands are too small......

[sarsfieldusmc]

326 can't play guitar

[thundrusaqw]

i accidentaly sung at the end of the intro!

[mihi1321]

easy :]

[MSNnn111]

lol.. my hand isnt big enough -.-"

[TheKinshin]

@MSNnn111 same here....

[789mopedman]

People: The only way it is going to be easy is if you do it for a long time . Practice regularly. If it was easy then everyone would do it and it  wouldn't be very cool then now would it?

[hello9161]

It's easy if you like playing it, and maybe if it's your hidden talent....

[Cloud5472]

haha he said g string :p

[BJGreenDay95]

this song it's beautiful, I'm so clumy to play it ...

[lGeek1Dayl]

he siad Green Dayz... ;S

[haushinkagreen]

ok thanks :D

[TheHiMMAT13]

sorry dude ure goin too fast for a super begginer

[MrPike9416]

@TheHiMMAT13 this song isnt for a super beginner

[LittleTay533]

@shiznitt91 yes =)

[xXErr0rrXx]

ok so I broke the E string while fingering A minor... is that a problem? :D:D

[haushinkagreen]

oh my god I never gonna learn to play the guitar, it's so difficult!

[SpoonsAtMidnight]

@haushinkagreen If you're a beginner, try a mahalodotcom. She's REALLY helpful. My favorite tutorial of hers is Yellow for Coldplay. Keep it slow and easy, and don't give up. :)

(Also, FORGET THIS GUY, HES TOTAL BS)

[MrVoldi7]

pfff no way

[RuneMusic1000]

wow!!!

[Nicofri96]

goood :))

[FullRamenAlch3mist]

nice

[t10h190]

@CaptOxBig e a d g b e eddie ate dynamite good bye eddie, easy to remember man, from top to bottom, so the heaviest tickest string closest to your face when you play would be e, and then a, d, g, b, e, descending

[kaybaybailey]

@t10h190 my instructor told me this:

'for the kids, i tell them elephants and donkeys, great big ears. and for everyone else i tell them elvis ate drugs, good bye elvis.'

it kinda made my year.

[AnthonyG73]

i already know how to play but still i got better after this.lol

[amarelo301]

[juliyapsr]

[sssSaramikeyzzz]

[gefri16]

@CaptOxBig which is why you have to learn :D

[Hellohellogorgeos123]
