[richardd2063]

Shame about the sound quality cos this is prob the best vid for this song and what a great voice.

[amandaindy]

[Kenykill84]

Thanks man. I wish there were more videos like this.

[brittanybond33]

thank you sooooo much I needed some help figuring this one out!

[skyblueland]

fuck all the complainers, this is perfect <3

[Thishitgetzoldd]

The people's who strings broke probably

1. Need new strings (which is why they broke)

2. Don't know how to do different tuning on the guitar

I had no problem tuning to this

great video!

[JosephineFhyr]

@Thishitgetzoldd Haha, I was going to tune my friend's guitar and the string broake 3 times and hurt me :< Though the strings hadn't been used. I guess they broake because nobody had played it in 2 years :p

[yodafreak29]

he stops on some of the parts and misses parts in the song lol



[yodafreak29]

doesnt have all the part correct pretty good for first part

[MrNeight9]

fuck tuning a string to g. broke my fucking brand new string

[ripthisjoint908]

great lesson! thanks man

[ceridawn]

mucho gracious!

[ceridawn]

why did you miss out the bit inbetwix verses, I suck at ear training!

[jcrosful]

what is your guitar?

[10Mads]

great lesson mate :=) thank you

[emiley1995]

that awkward moment when someone who can't sing tries to sing...

[serpenteene]

The whole bid is great but the sound quality was a bit of a let down

[acgf88]

@ZirZep i lmao when i first saw your comment wasn't until I tried it that I understood you....

[lperkins1027]

I'm confused on the t

unning, do you tune all the strings down or do you tune some of them up? could somebody tell me and help me out? i just busted a string trying to tune to this song =/

[rangers1207]

@lperkins1027 Low E string down to C. A string down to G. D string up to E. G string stays the same. B string up to C and high E string down to C.

[MrJkca]

@rangers1207 Thank you so much!

[yjiscrazy]

Half way through I realised you're playing a guitar and not a ukulele. I re-tuned my uke 'n' everything.

[TheKirny]

@yjiscrazy fail



[AUM1LLER]

@yjiscrazy lol

[fuckingmcdonalds]

@yjiscrazy you didnt realize it when he tuned all 6 strings? hm..

[dfboy16]

i love the facft that each or his high note souds like a blender having hard time xD but nice tut bro

[SynysterGates93]

Clicked on Zacdavis's time link wth my headphones in and volume all the way up. Damn you sir.

[mykolyric18]

this was a great tutorial and for those who had their strings break, every sting is downtuned expect your d, with is tuned up a whole step to e and b which is only tuned up a half step so your stings shouldn't have broken

[calbrodie]

string fucking broke

[djordan2014]

great help, thanks

[Caidan44]

@BonIverSUCKS Yes, you are right. Although I am a Bon Iver fan, I now denounce all of my previous thoughts about him. Thank you sir, your perfectly balanced opinion has changed my mind.

[Joshpp1]

Thanks dude

[maddlesnakes]

Thanks for the video- when I try to play along with the actual song, he seems to be tuned down a half or whole step. Any thoughts?

[kintar90]

Thanks for the vid, but alas I will have to look elsewhere before my ears bleed! The mic scratching is too much.

[nicolebeilke]

fucking string broke

[clarkesondermann]

Thanks! As always, your video totally saved my ass when it came to learning a song. I do have one thing to say; I saw them in Milwaukee last Friday, and after JVern slides up the fifth fret, he drops off and just strums all open strings before doing those little rifs. Does that make any sense? You can kinda hear the G resonate on the recording. Anyways, thanks so much! You rock!

[clarkesondermann]

@BonIverSUCKS Rather than argue and insult back, all I have to say is this:

Dude, I feel sorry for you. I really do. Bon Iver makes the most amazing music currently in the industry. And if your ears were born broken so that you can't hear an appreciate this FACT, then that really sucks. I'd just avoid music in general, if I were you, if you can't appreciate the beauty that is Bon Iver.

[LUHG1986]

@boniverSUCKS

Dude, do u seriously have nothing better to do?! What the hell must be wrong with your life for you to go around every video to do with Bon Iver and insult him and everyone who likes him? I mean I'm not a HUGE fan or anything, but I do think he's talented... Seriously man, go get laid or better yet get a girlfriend... Even if she's a mouse at least you'll have some sort of hobby!

[RawrInYawrHeart]

@LUHG1986 there we go bro :] tel him tell him

[kickkickcoast]

Heard him say "unusual tuning", fuck this.

[alexmccloy16]

will you do a strumming pattern and please will you slow down hahah i cant keep up :( otherwise great video :D

[Bowlesman16]

your kids suck at comments



[coldfootWOW]

im too lazy to tune and re tune my guitar just to play a song.

[TheMaddog2403]

What guitar is that?

[thesenselesswonder]

@TheMaddog2403 it's a safari muse travel size guitar from luna guitars. looks like the mahogany

[rorgasm69]

at 3:49 what chord are you playing?

[ZachDavis1234567890]

@rorgasm69 3rd finger 9th fret of A string, 2nd finger 8th fret of D string, and 1st finger 7th fret of the G string.

[PKzoo026]

[ZirZep]

[TheAndreasBuchhave]

@ZirZep mine to! fuck that song! :D cant u use a ordenary tuning and a capo?

[DeannaRose1213]

dude.. you just taught me how to play my first song.

[TheTurtlePie]

How to make a remix of this guy:

press (on the same rythm)

1-3-1-3-1-3-1-3-6-7-6-7-9-9-9-­9 (and then repeat)

[JMcDonnell91]

this helped. thankyou!

[chill5392]

i thought there were tabs?

[Caidan44]

ok so the lyrics go "and I THAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABPHBPHB be patient, and I told THHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAB kind"...thank that clears alot up

[deniscustovic]

It's not even a tutorial, it remind me of when my friend is sitting next to me teaching me how to play a song.

[DaveTheIM]

Thank you for trying but that is the worst mic I've ever heard. Why not do a rerecord? Also, I don't think the tuning is right. Play it with the song and you will see.

[Ashaapplecheeks]

@DaveTheIM

The tuning is completely correct actually.

[Uketillipoop]

HAHAHAHHAAH PMSL at 6:43

[iqbalm0910]

Every time I try to learn a song, get confused, and look up a video for how to play it, I always realize halfway through that it's a video from the same guy I learned all the other songs from. Thanks, Cougar Man, for always inexplicably being there

[92KATIEKAT]

nice tutorial !!!! :D

[StuTube23]

and than he doest that michael jackson yell

[MultiDassie]

Awesome thanks!!!!

[FYIiBite]

good teacher, bad camera.

[pigeonkicker25]

Keep pressing 4 or 8 when it's playing... Haaa

[miniconco]

i'm looking for the coords of the little trick at 1:05 in the original song ...

[DaresAndDreams]

i think i'm in love with you

[sinton09]

thats soooooooo  much for this!!!!

[Eliasaurus]

Thank you this is very helpful!

[theloudown]

Thank you so much for posting this!

[IveGotsThaFunk]

What guitar is that?

[tiffanypancake]

dude when i tried this method it messed up my guitars tunings-you play good though.

[ZachDavis1234567890]

Killer vocals at 6:46. My blender makes that same noise!

[Xxjaguar123xX]

@ZachDavis1234567890

hahahahaahahahaahahaaaa!

[Quimsacharani]

Tuning looks good, sounds good... but compared to the original it seems like Bon I is half a tone lower or something like that... can you explain why!? please! thnx

[Angealolo]

@Quimsacharani

I think to match the recording you just have to tune the strings so they are a little flat :D

[Quimsacharani]

@Angealolo gracias!

[MrZhozef]

Hey. Can someone tell me how to tune to this tuning? Like witch string on with fret should sound like what. so i could tune it. Thanks.

[IWORKINBURGERKING]

for the cool little flourish between the first and second verses slide from 5th fret to the 9th on the a string (with your third finger is easiest) then hit the 7th fret, slide back down to 5th then hit 7th fret on the bottom e. sounds pretty much right. JUST A TIP! :)

[dilemma2565]

do you have the tabs? bc i cant follow! (especially for the riffs) I guess im a little slow :)

[crewe99]

why do you have a bamboo ladder in your room lol?

[tomoyopop]

My summer project right here!

[StaleFunk]

at 3:54 what the hell are you "sliding up to the 7th?"

[carlmilton1]

Thought I was being so careful after reading the comments but my string also broke. 1st string tuning down to the c. Good vid though. Shame about the sound. :)

[benmacdiarmid]

there's so much crackle in this that snap and pop are getting jealous.

but seriously, very good video!

[theohmyjoe]

if only he could re-do the video with a better microphone it would be perfect

[BREEPxoo]

hey man, those pants are realllly tight.

[evictus2000]

my favorite song! Ive been playin guitar ten years never played this tuning! your video was VERY accurate thank you!

[evictus2000]

my favorite song! Ive been playin guitar ten years never played this tuning! your video was VERY accurate thank you!

[evictus2000]

my favorite song! Ive been playin guitar ten years never played this tuning! you video was VERY accurate thank you!

[naota172]

It is a link, you just gotta put it all together.

[naota172]

I'm a pretty inexperience guitar player so it took me FOREVER to figure out what fingerings he was using so I tabbed them out. Hope this helps someone figure it out faster than I did haha

I had to chop up the link so Youtube wouldnt recognize it as a URL and let me post it.

[chillikid1]

this is a pretty good tutorial the only prolem is not with the tutorial but every timr you wanna play it u have to tune it the right way :) but this is a very good tutorial

[CadetCroes]

Fuck my sting broke!!!D:

[iCraveWildness]

string broken :(

[blahblahuhoo2]

hey yellow bird, thank you so much for this. you have a good handle on how to teach it the right way.. so keep it up. peace out

[Nourberry]

I love you sooooo much your the best!!!!! But can you please write down the notes in the subscription so that it can be easier for me to play. Please!!!!!!!

[whyyesiamcool]

this is a great video for someone who is trying to teach themselves guitar, but it would be great if you could tab it or post the chords somewhere because in places this gets really confusing, especially trying to remember the shape of all the chords.

[immersedincreation]

This is just wonderful! Thank you! I'm even willing to listen to the distortion over and over until I get this right! Slowing it down for us... newbies is wonderful. :) Keep up the awesomness, love!

[reneeludlow]

my string brokeee :c

[SobreVivir]

thank you so much for this!

[KodaBear01]

@hestonsverige was it your d string that broke when you tuned it to e? Is anyone else having a really hard time tunning that one? i tuned mine all the way down to the lower octave e cause it felt like it was wayyyy to tight going up to a d and i was hella scared i was gonna mess up my guitar lol

[sosh123]

awesome guitar whered u get it??

[pilotlaxer10]

you are a great guitar player however i think my speakers need to be repaired

[amathew711]

@pilotlaxer10 if you think he's great, then im jimi hendrix.

[pilotlaxer10]

@amathew711 by great i mean hes a solid player. better than me, probably better than u

[PewTube33]

thanks

[FernValls]

i wish the recording wasn't so f****ed up with clipping. This might have been a useful video.

[Ozaze3]

Hey man, great video, I'm not much of a guitar player, I'd say slightly above amateur, and this helped me figure out the whole song in just under an hour. The only notes I have is that I think the 3rd riff, when you drop down on the fifth fret, I'm pretty sure he hold both bottom stings, if you listen close, at least the album version, theres a definite double note being played. Other than that it's next to perfect.

Any chance you know the other couple riffs? The one after the first verse?

[Deliberd]

sounds great, thanks.

[DannyGoneAndPop]

I'd like to if you If you would please consider, remaking this tutorial? Not only because of the overmod'ed sound, which will blow people's laptop speakers if they aren't careful, but to include the switch to the second part and also, if you would, please post in a sharper, higher resolution.

This tutorial is what I need and it's basically the only workable one on youtube for this song, As it is now though, it's not usable at all.

Thanks,

Danny

[SBboarder1800]

thanks great video. needs better sound.

[imOverWhere]

can u show how to play the lick at around 1:10 of the song?

[jamesclemence]

massive help!!!!!!!!!!! thank you :)

[showguns]

Your vid is a great help. Thanks a lot. The only thing is that the audio is really scratchy at a few spots and it hurts the soul in my ears... :P

[watashiwanachodes]

and then he does that michael jackson thing??? you dummy ! you made a great job for all of those people like me with this song stuck in their heads thank you

[thomasabel123]

i laughed the crap out my ass when you tried to hit the high notes and the sound fucked up :D

[pinksugars05]

i barely know how to play the guitar, i dont know any of the names of the chords, and i ccant tune my guitar for my life. but i can play this song.(: great video. your a great teacher.

[opharlia]

[stuganErik1337]
