Plugfather . com is a great place for guitar lessons and video tutorials.

[BloodOtikat]

"Yeahhhhhhh!!"

xD

[kdkittykat5]

Does anyone know anyone who can teach a upside down played guitar...my high notes are at top....have tried for years to learn to play both left handed and right handed. My guitar is right hand strung..but left hand played..bass notes are at bottom..where they belong..lol

[EasTRimXs]

@kdkittykat5 simply lol and why?

[trenjen67]

@kdkittykat5 Umm sounds a lot easier to just tring your strings the other way and make it a left handed guitar....

[iiAJAY37]

@sportscarzy10000 it's the same

[MRmongoosificater]

dont encourage people to rubber band a capo, just go buy one for like 5 bucks....

[Streetcoldhearts]

do you seriously need a capo for this? I'm a beginner and ur great as a teacher, I learned 3 songs (this one as the fourth) but seriously, do i need a capo?

[bolticusmaximus]

@Streetcoldhearts Nope. You could:

1) Learn it with different chords and no capo.

2) Retune your guitar up a half step. (F, A#, D#, G, C, F)

3) Use an elastic band :-)

[Streetcoldhearts]

@bolticusmaximus thx so much bud i appreciate it

[TheChucky1835]

you are a smart 1

[Cris1Elite]

[hary202]

you know, marty, i was looking another tutorial about playing guitar ten minutes ago, and you know what? i really missed you man!

[OrangePenguin527]

do you really need a Capo? well if i do im not gonna use, just go with it. it'll sound alittle diferent but at least it'll just as great!

-so do i just continue struming those chords all through out the song ( non-stop )?

[Cris1Elite]

I would love to learn how to play this but I don't have capo =[

[PearlsAndGemz]

@Cris1Elite \

Use a pencil and a elastic band, that's what im using right now :)

either that or you have to change up the chords

[Blowcutelilbubbles]

@PearlsAndGemz But how do you put them together to make a capo? Lol. Srry i come a little slow.

[PearlsAndGemz]

@Blowcutelilbubbles

[Greenduckman1]

I don't have a capo but like the song can I still play it.

[PricePipe]

Use a pen and some rubber bands, give it a try :)

[dwtdanny]

@PricePipe it might spoil the strings



[honek55]

[gNnF99]

Thanks dude

[nicolettesmithtv]

this is so simple

[jtownokie]

is it possible to play this on electric????

[JPHJ14]

if you dont have a capo,can u play it without one?

[BSUOSUlover]

ya, just the sound will be slightly deeper and off a half step

[Zoemonkey]

No, you need a capo.

There is normally a music store around where you live, so go there and if they don't have it, try Ebay.

[trailblazer225]

@JPHJ14 You can, it just won't match up exactly with the recording.

[DaCriticiser]

of course its just a bit easier with a capo

[MultiBoy97]

Omf Thanks you'r best man!

[twilightseriesfan28]

awesome lol =]

[seanninja12]

is his electric smashed or somthing look in the background

[wiihero01]

No, it's an acoustic-electric... (hollow body guitar)

[sjokomelk1996]

amazing !!

[Drjerome1]

jsut strum downard to the toon, there no strumming pattern.

[chocopiep07]

What's the strumming patern????

[benchkid2]

D D D D U U UDU. Or any variation of that sort.

[Amirnake]

There is a strumming pattern and it's so easy to hear just listen closely

[lukestasi]

man i cant get that muting thing between strums! need to keep practising I guess

[mohammed97k]

Thanks man your awsome

[rapidgamer]

Lol,'' you can do requests''

''Xept for TTFAF, not gonna do that''

Matty thanks for all your vids :D

[jonsta136]

thanks again Marty!

[coolestnameavailable]

my marching band plays this song in the stands

[TheMoore117]

that's tight wish i could be in your band

[clcarbo1]

To make a capo, take a pencil and rubber bands. put the rubberband through the through the pencil, and put the pencil across the guitar. slide the rubberband under the neck. then loop the band around the other end and fix it. Make sure there's lots of tension.

If you don't feel like doing that, just make each chord a sharp chord instead!

[TedB80]

your a champ, thanks for sharing your skills!

[PumpItUpChick09]

me no have capo??!!

[joshua0jacob]

nnevermind was playing for along time and got it down..... so thanks love this!....you good teacher!

[joshua0jacob]

i can't stop the strings with my hand just to let you know im a beginner and should i just do it without the hand thing?

[pdog3334]

I dont have a capo, wat do I do???

[RcUniverseGuy]

you dont play it

[pinkertonXweez]

you could always make one out of pencil and elastic bands

[twituber4ever]

maybe you should buy one!! idiot!

[fuzyboy45]

legend mate

[pouja]

Omg you're the best teacher ever, thx !!!!

[18skaterboy18]

thanks!

[Amyy96]

what if i dont have a capo(or something)?

[jorandejong]

You can also play it normal..

But with capo is a little bit better :)

[trueconservatie33]

capo is pretty barre chords, serach them online, its pretty barre chords in different position

[BJKMTT]

i want to start playing acostic guitar and i was woundering what company has good beginner guitars let me know thanks

[snipe10]

ibanez

[4lex0akes]

You should have the mic on top next time instead of below its hard to hear you

[olliek222]

i love des vids!!! :)

[lajiman]

do u really need a capo????

[ffox1994]

Only If You Want To Play Along with the song, it sounds fine without it, i play it without. and it sounds great

[0kill13]

yup even the vocals are easy in this song.

[zaynab100]

you are the best on the net for teaching songs. I have learnt about 6 songs from you. Thanks

[allrockirwin23]

only 6??

[zaynab100]

what do you mean only 6. I've only been playing for 2 months. its 8 now that I have learnt wonderwall and you're beautiful. God Almighty, you really know how to encourage people ;-)

[0kill13]

you know any solos to songs like stairway to heaven and the trooper and whole lotta love?

[zaynab100]

No not yet. Are they easy?

[0kill13]

stairway to heaven solo is like 50 secs long, the trooper is about 47 secs, and whole lotta love is about 23 secs long, but they are fast.

[47Gdad]

You can also tune it half a step down and put capo on 2nd fret... That works too!!!!!

[altbogdan]

or you can simply put capo on first fret:))

[47Gdad]

Great Tutorial 5/5 best one... Thanks!!

[filipinorocks2345678]

do u also need a capo to play the song

???

[crazydavef91]

u can or you can toon down a half step seeing how the capo is on the first fret. so u can do both......i think..

[chocopiep07]

You don't NEED a capo to play it, but with a capo it sounds more like the record so you could play along.

If you don't have a capo, just play the chords like you'd do it normally.

[shaky102]

is my guitar supposed to sound like way higher pitched then that? i got a Yamaha...:D

[LoserIsland]

why does my guitar sound so dark?.. :/ its very low compared to his

[likenootherhh]

there are three possible reasons:

1. tune your guitar

2. notice he has a capo on the first fret (!)

3. Maybe you've got a classic guitar or you're playing with your fingers? ;)

[LoserIsland]

my guitar is always tuned, i am using capo, and yeah i have a classical...i am guessing they suck

[likenootherhh]

yeah... those nylon strings don't give that sound, that acoustic strings does, that metalic sound :)

and try to push 3 firts strings (counted from the highest pitched one) to the frets as hard as you can. it often happens that ppl simply touch the strings and mute it, especially with Dminor, or D.

thaaanks, that really helped. i should be getting a new guitar soon. i just thought maybe it was me :/
