Guitar Lessons - I Will Follow You Into the Dark by Death Cab for Cutie Beginners Acoustic songs

[pookeeper15]

the version that i know of this song is a lot slower. is it the same chords and slower strumming or is it completely different?

[98TEEheeHEE]

Thank you much, Guitar Sage! You are a great teacher!

[AnArrogantFool]

"We got stuff to do here" haha

[Lexieann9]

do you have to have the little bar thingy to play this song? if so, im screwed :/

[Lexieann9]

@Lexieann9 cappo* i think is what its called

[AnArrogantFool]

@Lexieann9 The capo just changes the key you play in. You can just play without it in a lower key, or learn bar chords. Getting a capo would be a good idea though, they're very useful especially for beginners.

[Lexieann9]

@AnArrogantFool thank you! I actually did buy one about 4 days ago and im glad i did! i just wish i knew what i was doing :/

[AnArrogantFool]

@Lexieann9 Just keep practicing. It pays off trust me; guitar is fun!

[Lexieann9]

@AnArrogantFool i definitely will! thanks

[keahbawesome]

I always have problems with keeping my fingers up and not pressed onto the other strings. It's very difficult for me to play chords. Like any of them. Any advice?

[yourguitarsage]

@keahbawesome When a two year old tries to walk, they have a hard time. I suck at Chinese because I NEVER practice it. I rock at English because I practice it all the time. The more you practice the better you will get. There is not science to it. Just practice and be patient. Results will come, but anything good is worth waiting/working for.

@yourguitarsage

hey sage, i remember the first time i learned a song from you, i think it was "I don't love you" from My Chemical Romance.

Well, thank you for teaching all this great songs it's nice to see that theirs still real music on this planet.

I can play the first three chords without cappo, than i get stuck. i should consider to finally get one.

Have a rocking winter and stay save,

your friend from germany.

[yourguitarsage]

@Countach187 Thank you friend! I really appreciate it!

[screamingxhearts1]

What is the thing called that you put on the 5th fret? I dont have my guitar yet but I will. And i need to know what that is

[JustinDosntCare]

@screamingxhearts1 its called a cappo. it puts the strings down so u can play higher octive chords

[screamingxhearts1]

@JustinDosntCare Awesome, thanks.

[her9u]

[VolkswagOwned]

[aznbmxer182]

@VolkswagOwned the charts that he wrote out...

[VolkswagOwned]

Sounds kinda funny, how he picks/strums..

[420rizz]

fuck!



[KainzoFan]

What happened to the pick flick thing way of doing it?

[angieeeeful]

@1rishWristwatch after watching this video over and over again basically 1st finger on 5th string of 2nd fret and 3rd finger on 6th string of 3rd fret and just strum through all the strings.  strings are 1-6 from the bottom or the farthest string from you when the guitar is in your lap :] please correct me if im wrong

[Carleneification]

Scream those chords out man, SCREAM 'EM  OUT!!

[edgiz99]

supposed to be finger picked btw

[ThePbpatrick]

@edgiz99 it doesnt have to be, in the real song its strummed just not as loudly......BTW

[edgiz99]

@ThePbpatrick no in the real song its flammingo picked mate, watch the music vid for it u can see how he plays it

[smittyzx]

I HAVE THE SAME CAPO! it was expensive o.o

[Jessy1313]

@javigall15 002210 

[carolinemmmaki]

[guerzon2010mbc]

@carolinemmmaki the song isn't strummed its fingerpicked

[OBrienandSmith]

THIS IS GREAT. THANKS.

[antonioliriololi]

is better metal or nylon chords?

[algore1993]

uhm, you made it a happy song dude, try more fingerpicking

[TheRannyman]

I love your tutorials, very helpful, but just saying, I know you're doing beginner, but you should make one that focuses on the fingerpicking for the song, because it would help mee soooo much :D

[Rav3nous08]

Roy from the office!

[MightyIllusionsTV]

He reminds me a little of Dane Cook <3

And really nice cover. I loved it <3

[AwesomeSaurus13]

you are supposed to finger pick this song....

[blurry924]

@AwesomeSaurus13 who cares??

[AwesomeSaurus13]

@blurry924 i do... duh

[Stupidmut123]

[clennon20]

[karavatas]

[BannHammer]

[sportymaster1234]

dude u didn't do the [pick and flick] and to much stuff

[ThePatster73]

thanks man awesome vid

learning this for a friend who happens to be a girl ;)

[impactofreason777]

@ThePatster73 you're cool

[jerseygirl19663]

during the intro and chorus that split measure you could play a C, then a C/B which can be a E7 . to me it sounds alittle better.

[jackjokester]

he sings good! xD

[kingspade6922]

ur a good teacher man

[aberham13]

how does the end arck go for the strumging i dont get it

[Paraholic009]

u look like dane cook ^^ lol

[007freakshow]

Great Lesson! Thanks Man!

[davedavedudely]

the way death cab played it wasnt actually strumming. it was more of plucking and SOME strumming. I'd like to know the plucking pattern.

[queezyfb]

@davedavedudely you can listen to it and easily determine the plucking pattern. dont be an idiot. the chords remain the same.

[xomalysk8109]

thankyouu! i lvoe this song so muchh. i used to know how to play it but forgot :/ thanks for the refresher.

[XMcMuffinX]

how the freak are you muting the strings on your strumming? You do it so subtly I can't tell which hand you use to do it

[Sammrzz]

@XMcMuffinX You always mute with your strumming hand. He goes down with a full strum, down again with a half muted strum, and then flicks up twice on the bottom strings.

[XMcMuffinX]

@Sammrzz What part of the hand is he using? you know?

[Sammrzz]

@XMcMuffinX You muffle with your palm.

[leotietboehl]

cool, man

[kayla012494]

Thankyou so much for the video!

(:

[jbm4551]

wow the scary thing is you actually sound like there singer if you were singing the words.

[FlourescentF]

thx for u help again ;D

nice voice by the way

but do you use nylon strings here ?

[sup2192]

@FlourescentF i think the original song is with nylon strings, but he's got steel

[drking9313]

@FlourescentF nope he doesnt

[alixesonfire]

It would help more if you actually explained which chords to play, and by playing slower.

[AJDelRose]

he does if you watch the whole fucking video dumb ass... not just the beginning.

[ahroxw]

i agree fully

[RattieTattiers]

He does dumbfuck. Maybe if you had a longer attention span and watched the whole video, you would know that.

[indifly95]

oh god im confused!

had to play 18915 times to get it.

:)

[PartOfThe21stCentury]

thanks a ton, i play this song all the time. hey could you maybe do a green day song? like 21 guns or even good riddance? thanks, their my favourite:)

[marcaholic]

great lesson man, very well done.

[randomnessnessis]

=/ cant you do it with tabs? i struggle with chords

[iamanending]

lol he does look like dane cook. with a beard.. hehe... the whole time i was thinking he looked familiar.. XD oh right.. and nice video

[PieMaker47]

Excellant cover! 5 stars-- easy. I really like your strumming pattern, too. What kind of acoustic are you playing?

[AJDelRose]

I like how you played it with a pick i like it much better.

Good job

[bigdawg8744]

I hope Grapevine Fires is next...

[iamthebyron]

Good call bigdawg, that's a great tune....here's a rough version:

(Capo 3)

Am-C-G-D

Am-C-G-Em

Am-C-G-D

Am-C-G-G

Repeat

[bigdawg8744]

cool i know a version like that but it doesn't have the Am-C-G-G the one i play you just use:

Capo 3rd Fret

Am-C-G-D

Am-C-G-Em

over and over

Curious is this guy could simplify it even more if that's even possible lol. Peace

[safenders]
