Hey dude!! What is the strumming pattern for the chorus???

[MartinZrcek]

Thanks so much, man. Really good one!

[zergapollo]

Idk why your videos are so easy to understand lol. Even though people teach the same chords as you, I understand your videos probably 3X faster.

[slavex87]

omg is that a taylor?

[cedesbuck]

Thanks so much Edison! This was so very helpful where others are too fast and confusing.

[Azunaii]

I actually play the chorus as C-Fadd9-Am-Fadd9, which I think is closer to the original..

Fadd9: xx3213

[MiaLens]

wonderful song! but boring movie lol, i remember i watched it with my friends but we only wanted to watch it because of the song. :P but my friend taught me this song, we played ti so much that day:) but for the chorus we made it simplier and just made it whole chords no plucking, still sounds the same though! great tutorial!

[musicluvr911]

ok i'm obsessed with this song. my uncle showed it to me [[i know, it's sad my uncle has that awesome taste in music]] but anyway, he gave me guitar chords that he thought it was and they were sooooo wrong, and then i thought i figured it out, but aperently not. lol. anyway, awesome tutorial. ur voice is awesome too. =] lol

[duck97]

[musicluvr911]

Shan<3

[rwijaya]

good tutorial,

but the chorus has Am chord in it. check the song again ;)

[duck97]

I'm pretty sure I played the Am...

[Garkin33]

it's not all...but great job

[duck97]

what do you mean, it's not all?

[Smeagol5555]

bro...i have no idea what these people are talking about....it seemed pretty complete to me....and if not then its close enough cause ive been a music/band geek for years and i cant find any problems

[duck97]

thank you, i appreciate it

[Garkin33]

it's not all...

[lilmisssunshit]

yo this tutorial was fuckin awesome. thanks i learned this song in one day because of you. :)

[duck97]

glad it helped =)

subscribe if you want more like this!

[kidstatik3]

ditto. thanx dude you seem like a cool kid. much appreciated.

[duck97]

hey, no problem. you're welcome!

[Slitzon]

Um, so I'm listening to the soundtrack, and I'm pretty sure he's all out playing chords for the chorus, not finger picking. And he finger picks for the "and games that never..." part. So this didn't help at all.

[duck97]

well, this is the way I play it. If you want to make your own tutorial, go ahead. I think it sounds just fine, since most of the time when you're just playing this song, you won't have a piano playing along with you anyways.

[jsywow]

this is a brilliant one! thanks so much for this mate :)

[duck97]

no problem!

[IndridCold857]

Great tutorial, but the string order starts from top to bottom as 6,5,4,3,2,1.

[duck97]

yeh, I've realized that by now...when i first started learning guitar I was tought the other way, and it just stuck with me. bad habit I gotta break =P

as long as you understood it though.

[DCX1KE]

Duck97, Thank you for showing me how to play this song. Your a Great teacher! Hope you do some more lessons soon.

[duck97]

no problem! I've been pretty busy lately, as i'm on spring break right now. when school starts back up I'll have some more videos up hopefully

Cheers!

[14q]

Thanks you very much. Sweet lesson. Good luck

[duck97]

thanks =)

[journytoyernie]

very very nice! i loved it!

[duck97]

thanks!

[ericsibley]

Hey, great lesson but on the bridge he doesnt always strum chords but plucks strings and was wondering if you knew that part.

[duck97]

sorry, I usually just play it strumming.

if you're looking for something to fill it in more, you could try to find someone to do the piano accompaniment...that would be amazing.

[foreverjoy23]

Thank you so much for these videos! They helped me so much. You're a great teacher. :)

[duck97]

thanks, glad you liked it!

[RICHIEMAN93]

[RICHIEMAN93]

Dude tanx a million..!! u really helped..!! i owe you man..!! cheers you have no idea ow much dat helped me..!! i have to stand in front of my skool nd play dat to everyone..!!!cheers

[duck97]

no problem, glad it helped!

[pharm30]

Lessons for all the songs would be good, haha.

good job.

[cooldude7017]

Awesome tutorial. Is there any way you can do a tutorial for the song "When your mind's made up" by Glen Hansard? I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

[duck97]

I love that song! I was actually thinking of doing that the other day. I'll see what I can do.

[SVKteacher]

I'm a teacher myself, and you have a gift my friend. Wonderful tutorial!

[duck97]

thank you so much =)

[duck97]

thank you so much =)

[Udruniel]

And how do you play rhythm in refrain?

[pharm30]

so is there alternate tuning for this song?

[duck97]

nah, it's just standard tuning. what I was talking about below is making a video on how to tune the guitar, completely unrelated =P

[upqlk]

good.

Thanks!

[sl4y3r4u]

great work man really helped alot.. the only thing is i cant tune my guitar to make it sound perfect =(

[duck97]

funny you should say that, I was just thinking of making a video about how to tune a guitar...

well, glad you liked the video anyways!

[SlamminGuitarPlayer1]

Great tutorial! The only thing is that you kinda confused me at first with the string numbering. String 1 is the bottom string and String 6 is the top string. But I caught on to what you were saying. Other than that AWESOME!!

[duck97]

hmm, sorry about that. I always heard it the other way around...but as long as you knew what I was talking about.

thanks =)

[Gee119]

good voice, thank you so much

[duck97]

no problem

[shovyie]

I love this song-thanks for the tutorial xx

[duck97]

no problem =)

I loved this song so much...when it won "best song in a motion picture" in the academy awards i figured other people would be discovering it too, and loving it as much as me (and you).
