Great job. You have a lot of patience to walk through each note like that. I personally find it easier to learn a song by just watching someone play it normally, or maybe slowed down a little like you did in the end. If you just see where on the neck the riff is being played, and listen carefully, you can usually figure it out, easier than tabs, in my opinion. I also find the notes ring better if the acoustic part is played with a pick. Just my two cents.
the very beginning isnt too bad, but once you start sliding way up the neck it gets to be a bit more difficult. Especially when your have huge paws and a crap memory like myself :p
is there any way you can quickly go over the main guitar pattern? i haven't found one that is like yours, and i like the way yours sounds. or at least put up tabs? you're an awesome teacher! thanks for the help
THANK YOU!!! Every video I looked up covered the intro to the song, which after a couple of tries is easy to pull off and the tabs for this song don't really do justice to all the chord movements you have to pull off. Nicely done instructional for a kick ass song. Thanks.
Dude you look like you could be Taylor Hawkins little brother! Good job.

They do have a point...
He uses a pick.
It's actually more difficult with pick but sounds way better (in my opinion)
it's not totally hard to do but you should check it out.
