I've looked on several tab sites and most say standard tuning is just fine, you'll only notice the difference if playing along to the actual recorded song
Thanks this helped alot. But does it really matter if its tune half a step down? I might perform this song and I wondering if anyone will notice/care if it is in standard.
Thank you sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
After that g sharp major it works a little bit better and easier to start on the d string then play the a and low e, then work back down and strum both the d and g at the same time.
Hahaha he said "im bord" not "im boris" haha some people :P anywho... This sounds great i reeeally wanna learn this but im so bad at bar chords :( anyway of doing the intro with chords??
i just recently picked up my brothers guitar and mess around on it occasionly so i have no idea really what im doing, but thanks to this tutorial i can play a very cool song! thank boris :) ps i know you said bored but i'd like to think you said boris. haha
Wow! this was so helpful! thanks a mil for making the video! My friend told me to learn this song last night and i googled to chords and was just like.. o.O uh. soz. can't play it. But your tutorial was so easy to follow! good stuff!
Maybe find a different way to barre it? For that particular part I barre only the bottom 5 strings (and I mute the low E string with the tip of my index finger). Also make sure your thumb is at the back of the neck to provide more support when you're barring.
i just decidd to transfer this onto my electric because its easier on their. anyways, thanks for the lesson. do you have a lesson for my name is jonas?
love the acoustic guitar. i went so far as to getting one, years ago, but still absolutely have no idea what im doing when i try to learn how to play it. impatient, i guess.
I've played piano since I was like 6 and am trying to adjust to playing gutair with not time signatures, no notes, just tabs. This video somehow just made me understand how to play gutair... dunno why- but it was awesome.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This is the worst ....people just find the tabs...this guy has no idea....how can u keep a straight face while bullshiting all these people???? That's not right.
Staring at a piece of paper with a bunch of numbers on it, no time signatures, and no notes is a lot different than learning it from a video where someone is breaking it down, explaining the chords and the best way to play all the notes. And I didn't learn this from tabs, I learned it by listening to like 100 people playing it and listening to the recording, then coming up with a way that I like.
Curtain Guy = Win. I personally prefer tabs + recordings, but some people do learn better with visuals and breakdowns. Matthickey is just cranky because he can't figure it out lol.
Or you can just.. take every note and tune it half a step down. E becomes E flat, A becomes G#, D becomes C#, etc etc. You'll probably need a tuner for that though, or at least to get the first note.
I am taking lessons from a professional studio and you play it perfectly the way I am being taught. Even better than my instructor..lol..great job...ever thought of going into teaching...
Nice name douchebag.. boris.. lol
