/watch?v=FDEpYmv8_kI

[lolkik421]

i love my capo lol

[CoolNerd37]

I dont have a capo!!! and where do you play the chords?? that is not the place your supposed to...

[DJmichaelJkay]

i tried to get the ebook but its asking me for $10 WTF?!

[juggalobadass94]

140 people couldnt handle the lesson hahah thumbs up if u agree

[glennthereal]

good job

[overeighteen711]

I really like your version of this, definitely my fav on youtube :) I was just wondering is you could explain your strum pattern better, especially for the bridge? It sounds like you're doing something fancy like playing half the chord strings or something...lemme know please!

[pun9100]

your amazing but just wandering if you have hey soul sister in your lessons

[yourguitarsage]

@pun9100 Thanks friend, I do. Just search, "yourguitarsage" and the band that you are looking for.

[MARINEH89]

can you tell me the tab for C# you use instead of A?

[quinchable]

@MARINEH89 i need to know the tab for C# too please ! I can't seem to figure it out :/

[joydinedane]

lol, you guys know that you can use a pencil & a rubberband for a capo right?

[BrocktheRock714]

is the strum down, up, mute?

[debsnellingyahoo]

I have the chords, but am completely lost on the strumming of this song.

[xxkarolinazxx]

@debsnellingyahoo When i learnt this song i used tabs on google and i was struggling with the rythem at first so for strumming i just did "strum and stop with the hand, strum and stop, strum and stop" and so on... i suggest that for everyone whos struggling with that song :)

[helloABZ]

I love your tutorials, they are so helpful. Could you please tell me the strumming pattern for the song ? (closest to the original)

Ps your awesome!

[katrinamusic12]

i dont have a capo but im not complaining i can learn the notes that way when i do get my capo it be easier to play. Stop complaining if you want to play with a capo than go get one if your like me and music store is 1 hour away you would just want to learn...

[GuitarPlate]

Strumming Pattern Please :L

[TheAntonzac]

there is a much easier version

C-G-am-F 3 times down

with a different strumming technic u can also play let it be and no woman no cry

[HersheyBoy111]

[TheKingngng]

132 dislike this because they don hav capo......

[yourguitarsage]

@TheKingngng Everybody get a friggin' capo, or decide to play all bar chords.

[OMERTA011]

@yourguitarsage bar chords are good for ya.. did you see hendrix or srv with a capo?

[yourguitarsage]

@OMERTA011 Glad you can do it but there are many who are new to the instrument. BTW even Hendrix and Stevie Ray were beginners at one time :)

[OMERTA011]

@yourguitarsage stevie maybe, but not hendrix.. he's a voodoo chile. :)

[pegante988]

@yourguitarsage I HAVE A CAPO FUCK YEAH !

[badboyz844]

@pegante988 I can play this without CAPO. :P

[pegante988]

@badboyz844 I can too :3

[TheArrow007]

@TheKingngng WELL I DONT HAVE A FRIKEN CAPO U CAN JUST TUNE IT DUMMY

[badboyz844]

@TheKingngng I like this video although i don't have CAPO. I can play it without CAPO. :)

[shjan97]

@TheKingngng you can easy make a capo with using a pencil and a few rubber bands ;) if you put a pencil on the snares and bind the rubber bands round it (round the neck of the guitar)

[iNicoTECH]

i cant find the free chart like you stated in the description ;\

[NaShishDre]

yeah mr azz

[JasonlVlraz]

Can you please explain the chord at 4:26? you need to explain things better

[GlenMccafferty]

@JasonlVlraz no.. you just need to learn the chords.

[JasonlVlraz]

@GlenMccafferty I cant learn the chords if he doesnt explain what its called.

[GlenMccafferty]

@JasonlVlraz It's a modified chord. An A chord, with a c sharp in bass. figure it out.

[jejebuster19990]

when you were saying gd em and c what are you looking at

[walterszeke]

this is great.. but it would sound good if after the tutorial you will play the whole song.. can you do that???..

[DarkStarSkaterUB]

Ugh the strumming is killing me. Can someone explain better for strumming or help me out a bit please?

[tyler68]

@DarkStarSkaterUB same here ...

[McbainGames]

@DarkStarSkaterUB all i do is loosen my fingers on the chord and strum halfway on guitar real quick when press fingers on chord down properly and stum the the second strum.

[snake2005john]

[yourguitarsage]

@jbill96 See if granny has one.

[cushways123]

@jbill96 try wrapping something around the fret it to keep it tight, like an elastic band or a skinny rope or something

[JFloydd96]

@jbill96 B F# Gm E

[ch26ification]

@jbill96 2 pencils and a rubber band works perfectly

[jujukeju]

@jbill96 pencil and rubberbands

[Lorronzo]

@jbill96 i just use sting as an alternative in this case ;)

[zezisgay]

@jbill96 use a pencil and some rubber bands

[MikeyCanDoIt]

@jbill96 a pencil and 2 rubber bands :] go nuts

[Kayladiva197]

@jbill96 its a late reply, but my friend, before she hada capo, she used a pencil and a rubber band.

[ThePemsl]

@jbill96 rubber band and a pencil :)

[funkyjojo123]

@jbill96 use a pencil and rubebr band :)

[LabellessCow96]

@jbill96 Before I got a capo, I tied a pencil over the fret of my guitar ^^ If you get it tight enough, it should work :D

[nico19lee]

@jbill96 transpose

[MrMiniman1989]

@jbill96 pencil and elastic bands! :)

[aCDBond]

This ha probably been said before but the A is a ninth chord.

[eliiisha03]

i strum down, then up, then hit right after i strum up and repeat that 4 times for each chord.. it kind of sounds the same.. :)

[wiredchimp]

if you watch from 3:07 and look carefully you can see the strumming pattern used! hope this helps people!

[laurenaprilable]

Could you possibly do a tutorial on landslide by Fleetwood mac (easier version) or Stopping the Love by KT Tunstall???

[MrTuber360]

[kingfurcal]

what is your cords tunned to i play it but it doesnt sound right

[nataliebubleful]

youre so good really enjoy ur vids thanks :)

[GeorgeChucher]

how can u play this song without a capo or how mush does a capo cost?

[MichelleChunggg]

@GeorgeChucher You can buy them at most music stores. You can even buy one at some targets. I'd say a decent one varies from $10-25. You want to look for one that clamps the strings instead of you having to manually tying a string around it. If you don't want to spend the money yet, I advise looking up how to make a homemade capo, You can use a pencil and tie it around the neck of the guitar with rubber bands. That's how I started :) Good luck!

[PurityCurse]

@GeorgeChucher Play barre chords.

[bobcyclo]

Seriously dude.....stop making tutorials!!! I'm a fingerpick guitarist......I learned on youtube!!! Now that I began lessons i'm so mad about the guy who made those fingerpicking tutorials cause I have a bad position with my right hand.......and now I have to forget that and learn a new position!!

Your tutorials are so not accurate......this one here are not the true original chords and your strumming is way too agressive!! I watched your tutorial of I will follow you into the dark and it's

[bochu22]

how do you not have a partnership with youtube yet? lol

[wannabemybest]

Nice teaching job. Thank you!!!

[paniac5]

Jason M res, instead of Mraz, funny?

[mpm111144]

Capo= Head of a Mafia family. What???

[movetothebeat100]

hey i dont know if this is too much but could you teach songs like this one and others in fingerstyle/plucking? Strumming is easy but fingerstyle is more fun :) one or two songs will do cause im a beginner :)

[ColonelCornMuffin]

M erz? Its pronounced meraz

[TheE1e1e1e1]

try to pause it at 0:47 ...very funy haha

[KeefeWayneTeo]

is it possible to play a song with guitar alone and not with any additional music?

[jaidawaterbirds]

Thank you :-*

[Kevindustrialization]

Haha, when I first saw your name I thought it was "Your Guitars Age"! L... O... L!

[lockerzwiz1]
