[paulusjasper]

Dude, you're awesome! I'm just a beginner. This is the first time i play the guitar but when i look at this video, i can play it. Thanks dude! You're such a great teacher. Your videos would be a lot better if you use a better camera. :D

[emogothrockergirl]

Dudes a good teacher... N cute Xp

[desr2395]

just a question, EVERY tab and video for this song says capo 3rd fret, but i have never seen them capo live...are they just doing it in a lower key live or something?

[bcpmarine1990]

where is the strumming pattern?

[MrDazzman180]

@10max1100

Gimme gimme gimmie

[MrDazzman180]

I lost my capo fuck sake

[10max1100]

@MrDazzman180 mines at my friends house im going RIGHT NOW to get it woot :D

[MajesticNarwhals]

does anyone know the strumming pattern?

[victoriafunes13]

The intro:

D|-UDUDU-U|-UDUDU-U|-UDUDU-U|-­DDDDDDD|

-UDUDU-U|-UDUDU-U|-UDUDU-U|-DD­DDDDD|

The verse is like this:

D|-UDUDUDU|DUDUDUDU|-UDUDUDU|-­UDUDUDU|

-UDUDUDU|DUDUDUDU|-UDUDUDU|-UD­UDUDU|

try that to start with and eventually u'll be able to get comfy with it and make it your own

[darkamousy9]

@MajesticNarwhals

[cozad1996]

How do you play it without the clamp on the third fret? I don't have a clamp.

[MrHondaracer12]

[DJLazyJake]

@jasminevolis Capo bro, not too hard to listen to the video

[jazmely50]

[killerzombie092]

[desidancer8]

How accurate would this be without the capo?

Thanks a lot btw!

[sk8el3mentfreak]

[Bret220]

@sk8el3mentfreak Because all girls 15-25 are whores, and this song is for girls from 15-25. It's a shallow world, isn't it? Hahahaha.

[mizcoolio1]

@Bret220 ummm im a girl that's 15 and im not a whore so.......?

[TheMaggotChicken]

[NicoMontiel17]

Thanks man! I had watched many tutorials in Youtube, and only yours really did help me. (sorry if my english is not so good, im form Argentina). Really awesome

[tumblingfreak12]

ummmmmm what is the strumming pattern

[asqueezy2010]

dude, thanks for the tutorial man. didn't realize that this song was that easy. thanks for explaining it all man, it really did help me. hope you make more man!

[DragonZEro21]

Awesome tutorial,dude!

[britishinvasion099]

how about instead of criticizing him and saying what he did wrong you can go and make your own damn tutorials and shut your mouths. i thought he did a great job and made it a whole lot easier for me to learn this song

[yoursxonly656]

r u wet or greasy

[ligerzero100]

gay



[RuneCreators]

any specific tuneing?

[babygapableify]

@RaiBreak well no one else has complained so be quiet

[TheKustomProductions]

Waw im confused.

[dirty654321]

whats the picking pattern?

[RaiBreak]

I think what you call the C-G

is actually the C add 9 chord

Basically a G with your index and middle moved down.

[DgoFlourishes]

why in the e minor thing dont you put your first finger on the 5th string second fret and your middle finger on the 4th string second fret it makes the transition into the g from that alot easier? just curious but nice tutorial

[MrBamf1987]

Nice video man, i play drums, but recently decided to try and play guitar, and your video was really easy to learn from. Also your band is hella cool, where you guys from? It'd be sweet to come watch your guys show...

[marlonmurrell]

i would have gotten laid if he could teach better

[Bret220]

@marlonmurrell Or if your dick was bigger.

[marlonmurrell]

@Bret220 i pack a 2 inch thats pretty big bro compared to you.

[ColdCase949]

@Bret220 Black Kyser Capo???

[janeachasesdinosaurs]

@marlonmurrell lolololol, you must really suck at playing because I got this right off the back, just sayin'.(:

[marlonmurrell]

@janeachasesdinosaurs i have only been playing for about a month, so how bout you hop off my nutts?

[jangel2771]

@marlonmurrell Repent jesus loves you he can save you.

[Katieearianaaa32]

is there a way you can give me all the chords played?!

[cl0udx7]

seriously why cant all tutorials be like yours? very helpful thanks

[SercanSalkir]

that phone vibration scared me. i was so concentrated to the video :D great tutorial thanks a lot!

[RacerDude96]

What kind of guitar is that..?

[Tomato4398]

what happen to the cover??!!? :( *sad face*

[razorthinnrs]

I don't have a capo, what should I do until I get one? Should I Just practice without it until i get one?

[aildzero]

@razorthinnrs use a pencil and rubber bands, look it up on how to make that work lol

[razorthinnrs]

@aildzero haha thats awesome. thanks bro.

[MrPike9416]

@razorthinnrs its mad easier with a capo

[MrDevinCates]

your really simple to understand if that makes sense props man

[homerundurby]

You are completely stoned

[Playswithguitars94]

Why did you remove the cover?

[crazyrandomclumsyme]

standard tuning? or drop d? ?

[JuStiNxDaNieL]

@crazyrandomclumsyme standard

[skylitzify]

who texted you during the lessons? haha

[NuthingButTheTruth]

What happened to your cover? I knew what it was meant to sound like in full but now you've removed it :/

[ArcherBellGallagher]

Good lesson, thanks bro

Arch

[songbirdy89]

awesome man cheers! :)

[RobotKiller212]

I f I tune my guitar to a half step down, there's no need for a capo. Right??

[ttbuckshot]

@RobotKiller212 Not at all. That would mean you need the capo on the fourth fret.

[DreamsToDread]

@RobotKiller212 yes

[TheJoker9395]

The lick part I figured out I think. It's 3 on g 5 on g 3 on g 0 on g 3 on d and you should know what it sounds like from there

[LoveLikeAFI]

what's the strum of it? :) I mean, Down, Up down down?

[chilenotildeath]

@LoveLikeAFI theres a tutorial in the info

[rockrhythm14]

i used the same tabs as him but the chords are wrong on there. the "C/G" is a Cadd9, the Gsus2 (bret called it a Gsus) is an F#/dsus2, and the "Em/D is an Em7. BUt none the less, great cover man helped a lot with the strumming pattern!

[bftisthinking]

haha i just fell in looove!

i wish this guy was here to teach me this in person though.

[ForgetsHowToBreathe]

What Is The Brand Of Guitar Your Using? It Looks Exactly Like Mine, An Apx500 Yamaha....

[Lash9505]

thanks for posting this video, it helped a lot. i've been wanting to learn how to play this song, and now i can. !

[deadlyzin101]

Anyone know why my acoustic is really deep/warm sounding...I can't get it to sound like this. Its a 400$ guitar and I know its tuning is correct.

[SlyGenetiX]

@deadlyzin101 do u hav a capo on?

[wearethespark]

@deadlyzin101 Get new strings. I recommend ernier ball earth wood. It should give your guitar a more crisp kind of metallic sound.

[SoccerJunkie24]

@deadlyzin101 it's probably made out of cedar, the wood the guitar is made out of affects how your guitar sounds

[Spazking]

This is just awesome man. You really have everything you need to teach someone this song. The chord video, the strumming video, your cover and then the tabs you used to learn the song. Excellent job man. It's very much appreciated.

[sgt3ddie]

wheres your cover of the whole song?

[gundamegxp]

so do u need the clamp thing? and i dont know any songs so should i try something easier or what?

[helloimcool19]

@gundamegxp clamp as in capo?

[EminemFanForev]

@helloimcool19 Yes, Capo.

[runwaygirl777]

@EminemFanForev. I was telling my boyfriend i would like him & i to do a cover for this....but he said we need a Capo..what is that? Like why do you need it to play this song...do you know why? thanks :) in advance.

[GetUpForTheLetDown]

@runwaygirl777 a capo is something that holds down all six strings while you play the chords. it changes the tuning:) &its important to play this song because it makes the tuner slightly higher pitched.

[EminemFanForev]

@runwaygirl777

A capo is something you strap to your Guitar like onto the frets for this song I'd try Fret 3/4. Depending ., and it just makes the sound higher, and matches to the tone of your voice, uh, its really mainly for those who have a higher singing voice, and it makes the song sound better. uh for this song, I'd advise? that you use one. I mean not everyone uses one, But like I said it matches the song if its in a higher tuning. n just makes it sound much more like the original.

[EminemFanForev]

@gundamegxp The Capo makes the sound go higher, making it sound a bit better.

[prozacksattaxx]

Gsus-the most holy of the guitar chords. XD

thanks a ton man. :)

[TheSolo00202]

awesome man.. i just need a czech tutorial haha:)

[MegDellaa]

this was awesome thanks man.

[sourskitts45]

is this the same with the electric guitar?? with the capo n all

[jpupbob]

fff. I will learn this song. Just gotta get the... bar holder. Sis took hers, so i'll have to go buy a new one or borrow hers D:

None the less, great tutorial! :3

[Tezarious]

@rumorofwar1 yes eadgbe

[12Pedog]

Man i can't thank you enough for this video. You explained 10x better than all the other ones!

[ZACOGAE]

nrmind im retarded and i think you messed up explaining the cg and e minor chords you said the same think for both

[meg1507]

@ZACOGAE with the cg your middle finger is on the 5th string 3rd fret and e minor is the same but with the middle finger on the 3rd string 2nd fret.

[ZACOGAE]

does it matter what tuning its in with the capo?

[ZACOGAE]

TURN YOUR FUCKIN PHONE OFF!!! hahahaha

[gunz4showknives4pros]

@ZACOGAE Take a guess at what he's using to record this with :O

[Bret220]

@gunz4showknives4pros

Hahahaha. Yep. I'm recording with my phone. Texts just don't stop.

[BMTH17K]

Basically the same chords used in I Swear This Time I Mean It by Mayday Parade: Minus the capo.

[moootyjuanasaila]

can you do a tutorial on 'there for you' from flyleaf

[Cadet666]

@TheShaneSlater , HA THAT SOUNDS LIKE DOWN FALL OF US ALL!

@danmedi im gunna give that a shot lol

[2142bonez]

@danmedi

you too? =D

[nelmsy7]

thnx nd also for the intro instead of using the C chord u can make that E chord but move the pointer finger to the g string

[letsjamify]

do you hold down your pinky finger and the ring finger the whole time? on high c and amd b strings

[xxjustin53xx]

what if you dont have a capo??? :/

[BeastDrummer101]

@xxjustin53xx buy one, hahaha they sell em at guitar center for like 8 bucks

[saywuurd]

could you maybe write the chords down on an annotation at the side?

like, how to play them.

example:

X-1-2-4-3-2

in that format.

it would really be helpful

thanks!

[BananaEatsMonkeys]

@saywuurd C - 0-3-2-3-3 G- (move pointer and middle up, 1-2-3-3) G sus- 1-0-2-3-3. hat should get you started, you shouldn't need it since he explains it and you can write it down yourself.

[adtrMiranda89]

Whoever put a thumbs down for this video is a fucking retard. This helped me soo much!

[Rollerblader703]

[Welcometooblivi0n]

@TheShaneSlater alright thanks mate :D that helped thats what i thought it was, but I saw some people do some funny things with it in some covers.....

[Bret220]

@TheShaneSlater I love you.

[LyricsAndMelody1]

This is cool, thanks. You're really good at this. The only thing is that; I can get the strumming pattern right, just not the time sequence, but i guess i just need to keep working on it. =)

[Welcometooblivi0n]

I can't figure out the strumming pattern I keep getting it wrong, is there anyone here who could explain it or give me the counts to it?

[CchadPpherd]

i keep hurting my pinky finger and ring finger when it just stays in its same position everytime i keep practicing this song. anyway i can help this?

[guitarhippo12]

Thanks dude. But the "c g" chord us a "c add 9". Other than tht thanks a lot man. :) good job.

[Bret220]

@guitarhippo12

No problem.

A cadd9 is with the 2nd fret 4th string, 3rd fret 2nd and 5th string. C/G chord is a C with a bass undernote played on guitar, as I understand it and the tabs.

[kdhorvath]

UGH! I can't do it! :(

[dannyss29]

got it ! ;)

[Quala8ear]

Jesus stained xD

[Bret220]

@Quala8ear

Ha, suspended. I got it. Excuse me for my one minor mistake. :D

[Quala8ear]

@Bret220 it sounds funny how you say that. ahh and thank you for this video. it helped me a lot

[hannahBANANA736]

[DareToImagine07]

I do believe I have your guitar :)

[DareToImagine07]

[TaylorSayno]

[dangggvideosxx]
