[67chevy350]

love the video it helped alot

[lilpwincessat]

thank you soooo much. I can now play smoke on the water :D

[AVENGD7F0LD]

do you have any ideas for possible training exersises for getting used to changeing frets on multiple strings? cause i just cant seem to put em in the right place

[MeAndMyUniverse]

Great video but i learned a different way of playing this with 3 strings the 2,3,4th strings going 0,3,5,0,3,6,5,0,3,5,3,0

[Slayor11]

nice



[123abc98765]

instead of strumming the middle two strings, its much easier if you like bring them both together and then release them, gives a better sound and stops you plying the A string accidentally

[Hubertinho1]

niiiiice thar helped very muchc :D:D

[thatswatshesaid96]

dude thanks that helped so much

[MrFarquadinator]

This helped me understand the layout to a guitar a lot simpler. THANKS, MAN!!!!

[MrMidori9]

wow, before I´ve seen this video, I´ve don´t understand, how to play this, but this video is the best. I don´t understand much in english, because I´m from Czech, but now I can play that melody,, what have played again and again in my head

[bonfire7437289459]

thanks a lot Gord, right now my biggest problem is strumming the two strings, i always either accidentally strum the A as well, or only the G, but i'm sure in practice i'll get used to it

[bigchris9662]

[johnnypotsmoker100]

Thank you for teaching that song its a great song for beginners. I was wondering if you could help me with understanding guitar tab. e.g. what does "x" mean and a number in brackets and finally "h". Thanks in advance.

[Sinblade71]

@johnnypotsmoker100 i can tell u that myself but not in 2 much detail the x your referrig 2 is the symbol for pinched harmonics which is a squeaing sound used in many rock songs by tapping the string wth the skin of your thumb right after the pick. The h is to hammer on a note or to tap your finger in front of the one prior. For example, say i put your finger on the 3rd fret, thinnest string n play a note, then while the note is still going i tap my middle finger on the fourth fret,same string.

[trumanjase]

[SpacedTrooper]

ive been praktising with this dvd that teaches power cords etc

it gets bored after a wile so i ended up wit this video

its fun that i kan play a tune now,the one with the tin string

thanks for posting!

[Karateworm]

I've cracked the easy 1 strong bit. But my fingers seem to struggle with playing two strings as I can't get them into position to play the note clearly. Does this become easier with practise?

[GordLeary]

Yep it does get easier with practice ! Assuming you're a right handed guitarist - move your fingers towards the right of the fret - it's easier and requires slightly less pressure to get the note to work - hope this helps - Gord ...... let me know how you get on

[PeelPirate]

Out of the hundreds of videos I have searched through on youtube this is the best!

Gord was thorough with everything and made it incredibly easy for me to learn.

I'm looking forward to learning more from the other videos on this channel.

[ITzZRIPLEY]

Cheers man im getting my guitar at the weekend and ill be looking forward to help from your vids Dude

[copper1840]

[RoadRunnerDrummerJD]

Wish this guy was ACTUALLY my teacher. I teach myself guitar, no forking out money and I learn the songs I want but just as quickly.

Gord seems an amazingly good teacher though. This was the first riff I ever played on guitar and Gord taught it me. I'm forever grateful to this guy, thank you my man.

[GordLeary]

Thanks !!

It's great to hear what you think of my teaching & videos - glad you're enjoying them.

Gord

[Thementals9595]

keep on rockin because the best ive seen so far!!! Like now i can brag i can play a song !!!lol thanks alot.=)

[22retro22]

Thanks a lot mate! Now I can show it off to my friends :P

[GordLeary]

Thanks for that !

At the start of the video I do mention that for a complete beginner it is easier to play the riff on one of the outside strings E(1) or E(6), then once they've gotten the hang of

this go on and play it on the middle 2 strings, all of which of shown on the video.

All my personal students have found this invaluable, as trying to pick middle strings while learning to fret notes in the other hand can be quite difficult for total beginners.

[sztywnypl]

it was very helpful :)

I've just bought a guitar and I think it will be easy enough for me - a beginner :)

thanks a lot!
