[jcunn26]

other than in the beginning, and if u decide to try chucking, do you have to mute the guitar in any other parts of the song?

[Y3l14B]

nice... dane cook reference. like it

[MrIheartriseagainst]

the way you play it sounds just fine but i play the G5 C5 and Em7 as power chords. i think it give a richer sound, and if you play it with power chords you don't have to tune down, either way it sounds fine. Great video and voice man.

[deidara003]

Your good at explaining the chords , thank you this helped me allot :D

[RyFlSC]

[166431]

hey man, thanks for this, great song and great job !

[KIAdarktide]

I had to learn this by ear, all i had was a CD didn't have the internet at the time I'll tell ya if i had the internet at the time i was learning this song and watched this video it would of made my whole life a hell of a lot easier Nice!

[average0citizen]

i loled at 2:53..hes like wtf?!

good lesson btw

[Mortuka]

@average0citizen LOL, so did I!

[yolilashy]

This songs in such high demand. Everyone was telling me to learn it.

So, I had to watch this video about 3 times, but I finally got it.

Thank ya Aaron (:

-Ashley

[fluffykatproduction]

i can never get the strumming beat right

[BottleMeetsFace]

ur really good man but the progression is Em G C then at the end of the verse is a messed up c chord its a chord on the 3rd fret not sure what its called but there all open... and the Em G and C are power chords...

[ssjEasterBunny]

@BottleMeetsFace Agreed, the verse is E5, G5, C5 played four times, then a few bars of D-add4 (fingered as x5403x). The chorus Em and C chords are actually played higher on the neck and are complicated (07x08x and then 8x007x), but check out videos and more recent tabs on ultimate-guitar.

The bridge is fairly easy in that the first part is just a variation on the Em of the chorus (07x08x -> 07x07x -> open B string) and the rest is variations on C-add9 (x3x05x -> x3x03x -> x3x5xx)

[smartSR123]

thanks a bunch man i've been trying to learn this song for a year and i understood it as soon as i watched this video

[xtcy1986]

Hey, first thanks alot for this vid helped me alot.. But I'm still having big problems with the strum pattern together with the Palm Mute, have practised for about a week now and cant get it right.. You say you mute it when you wrist back up, at the upstrikes I guess?. So something like? Down, Down, Up/Palm mute, Down, Up/Palm Mute, and over to the next chord? Thanks

[MrMark1707]

thanks but i dont undertand the link it says diffrent chords

[jakroar]

this helped a lot dude, thanks. i scored with my "lady friend" cause i played this to her

[InoxDeidara]

My guitar is in tune, but doesn't sound like that ):

[camerongiron]

@InoxDeidara tune it half a step down :) its NOT standard g tuning

[OblivionXR6]

xD Dane Cook reference nice.

[gotcha51wtf]

Good tutorial, altough it's not really how it's played by rise against. But its great for learning how to do the chords to this song.

[foamylover12]

dude this helped alot all the ways i saw had me playin these ridiculous chords if you havent already done it could you do a lesson for vermillion part 2 by slipknot thanx

[mxdrumdude]

thank you very much, this helped me ALOT! your efforts are very much appreciated

[emopotatos]

Dane Cook jokes and Rise Against music!!! you are my fucking god!

[MrLevi92]

srry for being an asshole but i cant follow a fucking word you say so i stopped learning the song srry but you have no tabs up of the intro and your wording is way to aweful

[rockinrudolf69]

great lesson

[quackman500]

thank you so much. Im playing like with power chords and it sucked. This is an excellent video keep making them.. Great Job

[xak1101]

you rock, thank you so much for teaching me that song, its one of my favorites

[wheely28]

[Luckyslay]

Great guide! But could you write the strumming for the verses and chorus? I find it kinda hard to hear when you're just saying it :)

[oogaloogabooga]

very helpful! thankyou

[jjkljlkfjjkljh]

Lol at 2:55. Great tutorial, I can't wait to learn, I just gotta buy some new picks, I've dulled all mine from playin to much. :)

[agix467]

[Stirfry0]

I don't have clue what any of those chords are. But that was a good vid to learn from.

[Padamyyy]

Hello! Please I'm French and I don't understand the name of the 2nd chord, can you help me out?

[Haraldseeen]

[Starfishlovesme]

[kleigh1390]

[xBLACKxEYEx]

THANKS!

[nejisan1]

[tywhitt20]

Hey great video! I was wondering if you could show me how to play: If it means a lot to you by A Day to Remember? thanks

[yekshemesh4alig]

Nice guitar!!

And very good lesson, thanks for posting

[NifseJacob]

hey. your really good. i was wondering if you could make a video of how to learn red at night by gaslight anthem:D

[iloveaerrow7]

I think it's great! it sound's okay to me...

so it helped me a lot^^

[ninenickelz]

no offence but i think its all wrong. check out my video

[Mirkz2005]

Thanks for this Tutorial, has helped me get my head around what was written on the tabs. Now just to practice !

[1dean78]

haha a 2:45 a car like screeches its tire

[luv2bike08]

@1dean78 nope your wrong

[1dean78]

is this the 100% correct version

[wendall101]

this helped me SOOOO much. 5*

also, your a good singer :p

[07Love2sing]

You did a great job teaching. =) Just remember to smile! =D

[luv2bike08]

@07Love2sing don't tell him how to teach or i'll fight you cause im huge

[07Love2sing]

Haha, I was unaware telling people to smile is a bad thing. If you would actually read my comment, I told him he did a great job teaching. Then just mentioned for him to smile because he was doing so well. There is no need to be irrational over something stupid like a comment on a video. =)

[johan81111]

I belive you are right for the most part. But I doubt that theres an A in there at all seeing as the song is in G, relative to the capo. Ive replaced all ur A´s with Csus instead and i think it sounds more accurate.

[jackofscythes]

what kind of guitar is that?

[00skoolboy00]

Hey tdizzle or watever ur name is. U use the capo then tune to standard and the. Wen u take of the capo ur Down half a step. U need to be lower than standard not higher. That's why u take off the capo. If that helps at all

[TheTdizzle2]

duuude. cant you just keep the capo on the first fret and play like that? im having a hard time tuning the flats with my POS tuner.

[InACoffin]

Thanks man, I finally understood all the chords thanks to you, but I am having trouble with the palm muting during the verse. Any advice?

[VaNdYsQ]

Thanks Man it made things so much easier on this

[DeadlyGSoloist]

i laughed at the driveby lmao

[pandora9491]

thank you so much :D

i never learned how to play guitar but your facial expression during this.. reifen-quietschen kept me trying it :)

[mexicanouno]

man really thx for ur video was awsome i will have to practice a lot im just starting but u explain it really cool

[Greenz0123]

awesome teacher :) great, thanks a lot ;)

[FokkerWulfCS]

Амерканцы не могут сразу играть-пока напиздятся... млин))))

[MokE117]

tune it with the capo if you wanna break your damn string like me :/

its easier to tune it standard but start at the 4th fret not the 5th

[doEverythinggood]

thx so much!

[UserFallenSatan]

learned the whole song in 30 minutes !

Thanks to you ;) I needed to learn that for a girl ^^

[khdude2000]

this is like rly hard, i looked up how to play chords and they dont match up with what ur playing......

[litlleshado]

@khdude2000 noticed same, dad is music teacher and he said the speed/beat of the song is hard and chords are kinda hard to play when u would neeed cap too, but think i might try this one and see whats its gonna be.. Think this is easier version then.?

[mikejusza]

Hey ive learned alot from you thanks alot for you lessons on youtube i went from not knowing a single song to being able to play like 15 songs now and a few from you so thanks a bunch for teaching can you put a lesson on for hero of war by rise against and stand by me by beny e king i thinks thats it but figer picking style that would be awsome thanks

[SkejtDEDDE]

After the "finger-picking", i play a normal G and i think that sounds a little bit more like the song :o But that's only what i think :P Thanks anyway ^^

[visiontekk]

Thank you so much, very helpful. Keep it up :)

[BarcaBarca1992]

was there a drive-by? haha funny

[TheSkatestudios]

[letschokeabitch]

[ilm925]

[BoeckmanOSU]

Shoes? F**k shoes! No, no you go with the next group. Yeah, I was in my kitchen washing a dish, and he, tell him what you told me. No, that's not what he told me, that's not what he told me. XD Dane Cook FTW.

[lordme123]

o man, i love your tutorial very much, keep goin on, i will always follow u

[Jobin160]

i have watched alot of people attempt to teach songs on youtube , i can say with confidence that you are the best teacher i have seen great video :)

[lucee88]

great vid! thanks a lot

and really nice voice :-)

[thomas0055]

thx men :)

[Azdeth11]

watched live versions and this isnt how they play it but to me this way sounds alot better for acoustic :)

[sonnenbrille16]

thanks alot !! :) now i can play it, too.

[Lacki7]

Nice voice dude :D

[ignoranceisbliss27]

hmm... just found that my normal g is a g5 :D

[wraith313]

Only part I cant do is the palm muting thing.

[Lemonsguild]

this is actually a really good tutorial, great job posting it, if i still gave attempts to play guitar, i would of tried this for sure, great work.

[fender9474]

umm im not trying to be negative, but im pretty sure these aren't the legit chords. they sound good and are currently the same ones i use, but watch the video of them playing it. the chords are different. im just saying. this is still a good tutorial.

[ignoranceisbliss27]

something that i also noticed too because with jimmy eat world's "hear you me" it's TOTALLY NOT EVEN THE SAME WAY PLAYED as i've seen tabs for... but idk

[quietschebunt]

You've made it so easy to understand and with the link to the tabs - there's no problem to manage it!

Thank you so much!
