[ghty102]

joe wiles is a boss

[ahungjowindns]

the bast of guitaris

[TheMrAwesomeDx]

you did this tutorial twice.

[KRKMuffinman9]

This tutorial was meant for beginner guitar players, so stop hating

[pandazilla09]

dont listen to him when he says about the sole in the next part because its ALL wrong

[alusinper]

I los this videos I love this music I loved I loved :D

[shreantis]

he misses a power chord..

[MegaMoniman]

guitarists! youtube under: guitarist live show

[dryadson]

holy shit this guy has alot of videos

[SpykerZaggato84]

Smells like shit teaching :P

[acotto36]

:49 seconds retard

[cwilll]

for the second chord, we move this whole power chord "up" a string.

*pointing down*

[violetmoongal13]

@cwilll .....up as in sound, not direction. duh.

[dugfriendly]

@cwilll "Up" refers to higher frequency.

[amitbarfs]

this is like for non-musicians.

[sparkytrick]

wrong wrong wrong.

[bbossin]

I like this video, it wasn't exhausting. Quick in and out.

[NeverMotionless]

It's quite misleading when he points down at 1:06 and says move the whole power form up a string...

[MindBreakMedia]

how do you turn of these fucking captions?

[TheMeganinjaX]

@MindBreakMedia click the button at the bottom which has "cc" in red

[MindBreakMedia]

@TheMeganinjaX  thankyou SOOO fucking much man!

[xscythex]

In the end i actually "learned" nothing. Sorry. Try to focus on a real whole song and teach that.

[insomniacXXX1]

no power muting

open death notes...



[dingdommm]

it would be decent to you "expert" village people to atleast play us what we are supposed to be learning so we don't waste 1:50 minutes of our time...

[meyer9448]

at least get a decent tattoo

i mean what are those black squares on his wrists

good lesson decent got the basic fundamentals down

[dingdommm]

@meyer9448 haha, he looks like hes in a square clan :P

[bradern318]

@meyer9448 i beilive its a diamond

[highstakes136]

Here's a suggestion for all of you that are bitching about these videos. Why don't you make your own teaching video and show us all just how good you are?

[2010metalmaster]

omg if this guy can't handle smoke on the water then how is he supposed to handle the red hot chili peppers

[jezzalikezguitarz]

to skip the ads press f5 , pass it on!!!

[faranasif]

expert village is the biggest bullshit. BEGGINERS DO NOT WATCH THIS VIDEO if you ever want to learn the guitar...

[MrSkullis]

same beautiful SG :D:D:D want it!

[jddjian]

once again, more posers ragging on a guy for teaching beginers, maybe its time to grow up and move out of mom and dads basements kiddies

[JMorr1029]

everyone learning, listen to this man he is a guitar genius and always plays flawlessly. if only he were in nirvana instead of kurt.

[MomIsMyAngel]

@DoctorReview just put ur fretting hand lightly over all the strings and play tht then move down

[AGROUNAUT]

i dont think any one should complain about howes hes teaching he gets the point out and if he does mess up so what every one does.

[mic2016]

you left out parts dude

[knightimer2]

lol sorry guys but it doesn't get more beginner than this. 4 power chords, hmm who needs a video to tell them how to do 4 power chords.

[Lelle71]

@ ThEbUlLdOg187 why watch if they bother you?

[faxcopierprinter]

what happened to the solo? :/

[xisedufukndiex1]

im gonna guess these arent for beginners so back off people

[LannieX]

the subtitle/ words in the middle are annoying.

[left4dead117]

ughh i dont want power chords i just want the regular way to play it Then power chords!

[ElSascharino]

@left4dead117 it is the regular way. Curt played it with power chords, i think

[Vampirenia90]

Really good job!!!I have guitar but i'm not taking any lessons and your vids are pretty usefull!!Thanx!!Keep up!

[deadmetal5000]

you really should not need a tutorial for this song... for realzies

[acetonadocontinente]

I really think you should title your videos like 'how to play 1/20 of (a certain) music.

[Clone4115]

i know!!! XD i said dat on uder vids nd pplz thumbed me down rofl XD

[bbossin]

@ThEbUlLdOg187

sorry the free video lesson of the the bloddy interweb was not to your liking.

back in my day sonny I would pay 70 dollars to listen to some stoned hippy tell me how to play badly. There are like 20 versions of Nirvana lessons here.

[ThEbUlLdOg187]

@bbossin i cant tell if your serious or if your takin the piss!

[bbossin]

@ThEbUlLdOg187

I little bit of both

I think it was only 30 bucks. It was house of the rising sun, then crazy train.

Seriously i learned more from Youtube in an hour than I learned in an entire 6 month in the 80's.

[ThEbUlLdOg187]

@bbossin well i guess i cant say much i learned how to play guitar thanks to youtube

[61dodgelancer]

@ThEbUlLdOg187 , this is a FREE lesson. I never look a gift horse in the mouth. This sort of thing at least gets me playing around with my guitar and having fun. I'm not criticizing you or expertvillage. I'm just sayin' ..............

[MrDucval]

géniale :^)

[danimal511]

HUMMMMMMM

[HalfAMinuteMovies]

[narfire214]

[saliaris12]

[D3rarsch]

Hey guys:

For them who want to know It is a GIBSON SG SPECIAL FADED WC/WB

[danybr1]

he miss the part when kurt say "yay"..

[storrnwalker]

youre a bloody newb, thats the point

XD

[MXPXHolland]

if i move the powercord down from the e string my guitar sounds outta tune how come?

[GDragonSword53128]

try using 2 fingers for power chord and then when comfortable move onto 3. Use your index to bar and your ring for the other two strings. Then add the pinky for the third string later

[MXPXHolland]

it's sounds better already! thanks dude

[marorococa]

probably cuz its not tuned properly. and you might be pressing down to hard on the frets. make sure your not pressing down too hard and that your fingers are right beside the frets.

[Classdrummer95]

Guitar probably is out of tune ..

[thechickenofdoom1]

do you meen down onto the A string or down a threat?

[harry67er]

hahahhaahhahahahahah fuck em

[livejogaan]

easy song,if you want to play it only search tabs...lisent the song....anyway you can check it out the rythm but this power cord is basic.....

[BERTINOSBORNE12]

yyyeeeeeah!!

[Anton3322]

0:52 "im gonna lay the blade side of my right hand here across my strings and just.. fuck em."

WIN!

[LeonardChrist]

:-D

[Jahuteskye]

you'd totally be right if the didn't actually say "Pluck them"

[Simplename888]

@Anton3322 He says pluck, not fuck smartass...

[CrazySuperJEBUS]

@Anton3322 you do know he said "pluck them" right?

[kwakou9]

and they call kurt cobain a genius!

[nirvanarocksout]

yazcheese u dont kno wat ur talkin about!

kurt cobain played this song on his blue lefthanded Fender JagStang

[yazcheese]

Isn't this song played on an acoustic? I know this guy sometimes changes stuff around to make it sound better, but it's just not an electric song.

[Kajanzaru]

yea its really useless...

in every video only a few chords or a short description how to play a part of that song. would be great if it'd explain whole songs. but this way... is no way

[naal13]

have you ever heard smells like teen spirit dude? after the beginning riff there's the part that he showed at the end and then it repeats. that's all there is to this song.

[trippermechanic]

USELESSSS

[oratri]

hé jk, some beginning musicians are maybe not as talented as you. They could need a little backup with even the "simpel" songs!! If it's too easy for you, skip this video and don't comment!!!

[jkrobertson88]

I wasnt putting anyone down, this song is literally though four chords, and to be honest the reason why i watched this video was because i didnt believe someone would make a video to explain how to play this song.

if you are new, the best thing to do is to go search up tabs, then listen to the song and recreate what you hear. this will build up your ability to hear and recreate music.

[shippensbia]

Very true, ear-train yourself and sing people your solos, just like Dave Mustaine!

Also, I use my ring finger to hit both bottom strings of those chords, I find it easier.

[jkrobertson88]

Does this song really require a video? This was one of the first song any new guitar player learns lol tabs is all you need for this song.

[naal13]

then why the hell are you watching this video if you're such a pro?

[roboY2K5123]

im not a pro, but i can play the guitar pretty well, but i had to watch this video just to get the strumming down, and btw i was too lazy to read the other guy's comment

[naal13]

Was I even talking to you??

Dude, the guy to whom I responded was making fun of people for watching this video because the song was so easy.

When I answered him, I was merely remarking on the paradox of saying something is easy to play while, at the same time, he was looking for a video on how to play it.

I didn't mean to offend anyone else, besides him that is. heheh 8)

[brendeninchauspe]

"Let's take a look!"

lol

[everblazin93]

hey joe has nice hair

[KarateMazdur]

yea, but he only teaches the intro sometimes, or just the parts u already knew.

[koetjebeloved]

i love this guy hes awesome and he teaches fast

[Einarspuppy]

I have played this song two ways, and I would say this is the harder of the two. Both sound virtually the same, but if instead of going to the A string, you can just slide the whole cord down two frets. 133-355-577-799 (that's power chords, hard to write horizontally).

Again, they sound the same, but this way is just a tad more difficult. Still easy, but more dificult.

[flyzapva]

I thought that was ur phone number!!! XD!

[TheWTFManOMG]

What do you do in the beginning between the first two chords?

[YOUDUDE56]

wow thanks

[aldo07sebas]

es una Sg junior?? o el tipo esta muy grande

[dallmechtig]

thanks !

[terror39]

0:50 and just fuck them lol, .... i know he says pluck

[nowinterweather]

favorited just for that lol

[EatRice4Eva]

its teen spirit

[guitarman1091]

no its teen

[superherohaydon96]

its teen spirit not team you spazzes

[CHESTERANIUM]

naw, a lot of people mispronounce it like that, but i even bought it off of itunes and it is teen spirit

[loz4evans]

when he shows the A sharp power chord his guitar is out of tune you can tell because of that horrible hover kinda sound

[NicKerPsico]

shit??

[dirtracerrob]

technically the verse is right but its not the way kurt played it.he played it on the 5th fret G string and 6th fret B string. either way they are the exact same notes

[Nicodemusg4]

WRONG

[luuuk11]

He plays the verse wrong haha loser.

[NickelbacksNo1fan]

how is it played then?

[luuuk11]

he plays

1

1

on the bottom 2 strings

but u have too play is

5

6

one string higher

[osterhase9]

it's the same...these are the same notes

[luuuk11]

One note is, but it still sounds better on those strings.

[tubitooxuulo]

its 1 1

is isnt what you want its what it is

[slipknot78yahoowe]

arn't you sopposed to left hand mute

[McyD97]

... lay my palm across my strings and fuck them, lol!

[iheartpie115]

lmao lemme just fuck my strings

[irishbum2007]

how do u not hit the bottom 3 strings?

[pipe2k27]

you mute them with the back of your index finger

[mralstonandidontcare]

pluck

[MLXrox]

i lol'ed at that way too hard.

[FloubasFlemanca]

"pluck them"

[affse]

lol this song is so damn easy but i learnd the riff here xD

[jrack13]

SCRAPE NOT PALM MUTE FOOL

[P4stor1]

LOL I LOLD TOO! :D

[drozcaio]

Thaaaanks man!

[88shamrocks88]

Is this suppose to be a joke?

[WILLtTHOMPSON2906]

full speed at least, please

[omes7922]

actually he can any what any begginier guirtar player can so no hes not

[empeiks]

IMO too much overdrive :)

[antoniobethany23]

nirvana just had the palm mute, this guy doesnt, you should be able to mute it with your picking hand, it sounds wayyyy better

[HyphyG123]

Just goes to show you that complexity doesnt neccesarily mean a better song.

[brrnay]

for real this is probably the easiest song ever... and its awesome

[jsadkid7thesecond]

damn right

[klolo57]

fuck i´m scared....not! man this is not  a topic to make jokes about

[Mainscout]

MONKEY RAPE

sorry; i couldn't resist

[antoniobethany23]

lmfao

[Nater49]

Kurt Cobain IS GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

R.I.P Kurt

[skylersmarr]

when kurt palm mutes he hits the bottom 4 strings

[CleburneZEROSk8er]

Whoa. When he plays it slow it sounds like another song

[holbirne93]

yeah

[sammy2227]

drive 6, treble 7, mid 4, bass 3, reverb 2, with overdrive

[kasabalisgreeksk8ter]

he use a ds 1 distortion pedal to play it so you have to buy one if you want to play the whole song

[MonkeysRape]

Boss ds1 turbo distortion with remote jack, to be exact. xD. You can get pretty much the same sound with a lot of pedals though. But, I do want a ds1, even if its not the best.

[ihmemies2]

wrong? how come?

[drughinikoz89]

yes , itz wrong

[lospajasddt]

it doesnt suck is phenomenal

[Styk0s]

its right!
