And if you don't have a capo you can just make one with a pen and rubber bands. :D

[BOTmesageTLE]

ive been playing guitar for a while but your videos are still great :) thanks

[RSbestyRS]

thank you, in no time I could play this very well:P

[loadingplzw4it]

so gonna buy a capo!! like every tutorial its like "u put the capo on the fourth fret..." I DONT HAVE A CAPO:( lol

[02SlickRic]

@loadingplzw4it It's always good to have a capo. It is almost essential when you play a lot of acoustic songs. Don't hesitate to buy one. =)

[write2prakhar]

i dont know if i need a capo, but i definitely need an underwear :P

[ReVoLtzFrosty]

Thanks for that, been meaning to learn that song for awhile.

[TheWogmeister]

he looks a bit like ben affleck

[0rieke0]

it's greeeeeeeeeeat :')

[kid240ful]

do we really need a capo =P

[yourguitarsage]

@kid240ful Not if you want to play it in the wrong key :)

Or you could play with bar chords.

[kid240ful]

@yourguitarsage it was a joke =p



[miniahunter]

if your mom wants you to have underwear, your mom wants you to have a capo, LOL

[solracaraca]

[DropCapLunchBox]

Ford4lyfe7: Gb and F# are the same my friend, it all depends on what scale you're in. For his sake, Gb is easier for younger players to understand.

[NFSlegends]

[Think0Like0Cheese]

[iGetMadAndG0Rawr]

Uhmm you said a C chord also.. I didn't see you use any C chord >:O I saw you go G D Em D.. No C >:O

[chelseafanet]

@iGetMadAndG0Rawr He played C in the chorus.

[iGetMadAndG0Rawr]

@chelseafanet Ohhh i think i see now. The chorus is C D Em than the split measure stuff.

[s3bbe1337]

[PoisonArrow115]

You deserve a cookie. If I only had one...

[psychowriter97]

If you're watching this and playing guitar you are REAL!!! guitar hero.

[KillaBoySam]

[Aguywithahugedick]

[kurai54]

[TheMystery22]

[UnluckyBlackandRed]

THANK YOU. (strum pattern mainly.)

PS. ive had a capo :P

[LeG1TDnA]

i suppose you dont need underwear, but you gotta have a capo

[TinaSuperBad]

i bet he rehearsed the "hey there guitar heroes" like 50 times LOL

[timothyga01]

let me start with wow, thanks! I'm realy not a begginer since I'm going into some pentatonic minor solos and what not these chords are so easy I liked it how you explained it to them so well. For all you begginers out there, keep on trying I remember I think it was 3 or 4 years ago when I started playing it used to be hard and now, barre chords come so easy and these chords are just sooo basic I like your teaching style anyway so could you put some lessons for intermediate players?

[traqstarr1990]

what key is third fret in? seems like every song is in they tuning...

[Mrpokemasterketchum]

strumming pattern:

down-down-up-up-down-up

[Aricurm]

phuck im going to murder the inventor of the cappo

[Dunderkladden]

[parmezans]

Nice, simple and easy. Thank you for the tutorial.

[Noctua92]

Okay, I got it. We NEED a capo to play the song *lol* Sorry, but you sound pretty much like you're advertising for those things.

But I agree. The guy who invented capos did me a great favour.

[ThrashingIsMyBizness]

FREEBIRD!!!!!!!!! haha sounds kinda like it, anyway thanks man love the lesson.

[DiViNiTY1337]

Can't I just play it without a capo (spelling?) by just tuning the guitar a little higher?

[parmezans]

@DiViNiTY1337

I think you can but you have to know the tuning and I mean really, would you rather go over that hastle of tuning it up and down for one song or would you rather just snap on the capo? :)

[DiViNiTY1337]

@parmezans No actually I wouldn't, but I don't have a capo so thats why I was wondering ;) Gotta, get, capo.... Fast!

[Gameplay946]

[nico0430]

DUDE! YOUR TEACHING'S SO GREAT! i've been watching this video for like 4 days now. and guess what. I KINDA WRAP IT ALL UP! and know what, i started as "no-guitar-history-in-life" as in like, a week a go or 6 days ago, i just got my guitar. and now. i can play it a bit, i'm having a hard time with transitions, specially with G to D/G-flat and vice versa. and the C. well i can do it in no time! GREAT TEACHING!

[SatoshiBatista]

do i really need underwear??????

[ten3mareczkos]

teach me master!!!!! :D thanks for this tutorial, that is my one of few favourites song. Clean and simple. Greetings from Poland

[OutOfOrderMec]

[thesonofmasterchief]

thank you soo much your awesome

[safkjee]

i just started playing so its kinda hard for me, i get the rest of it though :)

can anyone tell me please?

thanks.

x

[quinnsley123]

@safkjee for the first 2 beats its g and then the next 2 its d

[safkjee]

@quinnsley123 thanks! (:

[socrplyr16]

love this video but i am confued about the chords for the chorus?

[SOCerberus94]

oh shit, CAPO XDDD

[lydd57]

jesus we get it, we need a freaking capo!

[rollingstonecold]

"... You need underwear, so you need a capo..."

you sir are a man of words

[bumnugget89]

all of my notes like the G, D blahh blaah sounds different like deeper .. because like on my chord sheet it says fret 2, 3, and 4 for G ? It's tuned and all .. but does anyone have a suggestion .. and i have a capo .. it just sound weird when i play the G on the 5th Fret .. = /

[Jasianwoo]

WHENEVER I WANT TO LEARN A SONG YOU ARE ALWAYS THERE TO TEACH ME!

[vanderweidec]

dane cook?

[icecream4younme]

What kind of C is that? I only know how to play the C where the 1st fret 5th string, 2nd fret 3rd string, 3rd fret 2nd string. See your fingers are different and it doesn't sound the same.

Also is the an other way to play the D with the Gb other than putting your thumb on it? Or is that what's "professional" and ok?

Thanks! I love the videos!

[parmezans]

@icecream4younme

As you can see, the capo he is talking about is covering all of the strings in the 3rd part of the tab board, so he plays the C chord 2nd string 4th fret and so on. I hope i explained it well because it's an easy question to which he probably won't respond. :)

[leedh0426]

i dont hav a thumb..

[MrMyJustus]

Hey,

you realy helped me.. thanks

[southridge39]

dude your realy hard to follow in these videos it seems like your all over the place. If you could please like stay on track as in: This is what you do for the intro. Then verse. Then chorus. and strumming pattern and what not its just i couldnt keep track and i was confused a lot

[SilverSkull3434]

wow...it seems that every song is using that same strumming method... 

[csibraa]

THank you so much

[nick19900]

You need Underwear, YOU NEED A CAPO ! ...Try not to get those confused as i did this morning...ouch, but some great guitar playing ;)

[MrJuzzam]

Use your index for the G flat bass and make the D with your other 3 fingers. Using the thumb for the 6th string is usefull when you don't have a finger left or you have to strech too much. It is not really necesary here...

[videogameaddic1001]

i'm 15 and i have small hands, so i find it really hard to do the g flat. hopefuly they will grow just a bit more :) thanks for the vid

[BTvisuals]

lol you went on for like 38 seconds about underwear and cappos

[TheRCruise]

hey is this how you play on electric too?

[Dezu582]

Sage!

I want u to know that you're an amazing guitarrist you have no idea how many songs I've come to learn by using your videos! And thanks to you I bought the capo and it has worked perfectly!

Keep it up and thanks a lot man.

You're amazing!

[sorakairi1993]

I'm 16, i have an acoustic guitar, i have tiny hands, and i'm having a hard time doing d/g flat. That makes me sad :<

Great tutorial though

[Sinofpriest]

I'm wondering if you could post up a video or tabs for the song 'The One' by The Prom Kings. I cant find them anywhere in the internet

[charliiiexx]

i just wanna say thaaanks for all the great vids (:

and i think we all have a capo now (;

[Schennyification]

You explain it very well... but I can't understand all things:) I'm german:P

[WonKim91150]

ummm im 15 with very small hands i can play the g flat for the d but if thats a problems for people i think dsus will work too try it out you just add a pinky to the d

[tlshaggy711]

Do you need a capo?

[MissHedydd]

thumbs up from me(: great vids.  thanks, you the best :D x

[Kellerspinne]

Yay! Today I finally got myself a capo! :o)))

Thanks so much for the great lesson!

[asht1806]

Saweeeet, thankyou sir!

[Ghostnightshadows]

Well, I think I'm going to be getting a kapo-whatever. Can you find them in any music store?

[guitaristbonjovi]

Man i love you :P You are awesome! If you make a tutorial for It's My Life of Bon Jovi i will make a statue of you in my room! :D Keep rocking man....

[LannieX]

The thing you said in the end, "even as an older guitar player, it isn't fun to play a bunch of bar chords...", made me want to buy a cappo. At first, i thought expert guitarists don't use cappos so i thought i shouldn't get it to become better fast. Now i know that that's not the case. Thanks for the tut.

[kyng77]

thanks

[ChristianAnimeGirl13]

where can i get a capo? and how much does it cost? and can you play this on the mandolin? if so, how do you do the g thing for the d chord? uwah, i'm 14 but have tiny hands; i don't know if i can do that on my acoustic! oh well, thanks for posting this! it's way easier than trying to figure it out on my own, and those are my favorite 4 chords; i know them best and they're the easiest for me.

[shayan366]

What is a capo

[bb33nnii]

@shayan366 something u need to get if u wanna play the guitar

[xxcathryn96xx]

M'kay, so that metal thing makes the pitch higher on a guitar. Would I be able to play this song the same way on a mandolin, but without the metal thing? It's naturally higher than a guitar.

Great video, by the way.

[jammer88jijoe]

@sapirSUCKS- pls do us all a favour.... DROP DEAD

[dd171717]

are you saying where did i belong? lol its where did i go wrong if im correct :P

[letitbe42593]

i never really see anyone rock a yamaha, haha

[MEERKAT4PRESIDENT]

If you need underwear and a capo which would you buy if you could just get one?

I have both no worries, but i don't mind doing bar codes as much as when I started doing them.

So would you call capos just loopholes from bar chords, "Loophole Capole".

Great teacher and easy to learn songs.

[DaddyGotz]

If you played those chords on the normal E scale without the Capo, it would work tho, right? The capo is just preferred?

[yourguitarsage]

@Bossfan94 Your guitar does not have to be in tune either...but it's nice ehh? To play it in the key that that the song is so that you can play along with the song, you need to be in the correct key. For most beginners, they prefer to play open chords. I cover this in about all my vids.

[MelindaGibbsCBS1148]

@yourguitarsage A capo is for your VOICE!

[Baconpiece]

strum pattern please, anyone? I'm a beginner :S

[Charlie15Fitz]

"you need underwear, you need a kapo"

I found this humorous.

great tutorial by the way :)

[WERTYBD]

wat is the key of the song

[rolltide3738]

Hey just a quick question, are you playing the G by muting the 5th string all together and is that just simpler or any gains from doing that? Thanks, and great videos.

[yourguitarsage]

@rolltide3738 I like the sound better, and it's easier to play. That's probably just my personal preference though. Thanks friend!

:)

e

[spcarroll85]

you dont need a capo. its all relative

[venom8055]

no way i have the same guitar

[venom8055]

dude i have this same guitar!

you need a smaller neck for the g flat/d chord
