[TheDannys2222]

Thanks! :)

[thepumpkins101]

great job man!!!!

[heartedlycomebacktom]

good job:)

[tdmag1]

Thanks :)

[falcnpunch99]

this is really cool. Be sure too check out our version of this song on my channel :) and check out my how to video on this song as well :D

[klatsios94]

This song is not even a piece of sh*t from the original ...

[RaioShii2021]

I'm new at this and just confused, which tab is playing which in the beginning when you split the video into two covering two different tabs? I'm trying to learn as best as possible and I'm still trying to figure out how to read the tabs. I start with 3 and 2 fret, but how do I know how many times to pluck the strings?

[grunt616]

@RaioShii2021 If you can't figure this out by yourself yet, then you should focus on easier songs first. Just trying to help....

[RaioShii2021]

@grunt616 the tabs aren't the problem for me exactly, it's just that I'm a visual learner. It's been like that even back in school I used to have tons of problems because I'm near sighted and couldn't read the black board but felt too retarded to ask to be moved to the front row of the class so i couldn't see how to do a problem.

Reading and understanding a tab isn't hard by any stretch it just takes special teaching for me to learn it simply enough.

[grunt616]

@RaioShii2021 Jeeezzzz....I didnt ask for your life story....IF you wanna do good in music...you have to be a good listener....

[RaioShii2021]

@grunt616 Well by the sounds of it you're intentionally trying to be a jackass, in other words, good job, good for you.

There, was that short enough for you to get the message across?

If not, here's another.

You're a mouthy little prick inbred moron. Good day.

[grunt616]

@RaioShii2021 U Mad Bro?

[pataykangtae]

[isamo3412]

[trasherzz]

omg thanx..i learnt how to read tabs!!!!! thnxxx!!!

[dgesling]

random slide= the shit

[hulktrolle]

oh my God!!! thank you so much!! i love Seether and ive been looking for a good tab of this song!! you rock dude... do you think you could do one on Seether's "fake it"?? please, if you cant its fine but it would make me happy :D

[jtodd900]

@hulktrolle Glad it helped, I did Fake It a long time ago. I have probably 90% of Seether's older stuff posted.

[hulktrolle]

@jtodd900 oh my god you rock........ thank you!!!!! seriously.

[101Duli]

talented!

[deveshpatel81]

second set of your tabs are off by 1 string,... 7,8,10,12 should start at D.

[101Duli]

@deveshpatel81 no, but it also sounds good like this.... hmm....

[f1rew0rkz]

quick question

what the strumming pattern?

[f1rew0rkz]

quick question

whats the strumming parttern?

[ozzyueffing]

Strats were not meant to be distorted like that. 

[wtFitskira]

Eargasm wtf.

[stephaniebarash]

Awesome! finally a corect tab... wish there was tab for the little intro/outro thing at the end.

[MuadDibFan]

Good cover, great totorial job, but not the best sound idd :) subscribed anyway ;) Keep it on!

[RandomTstudios]

this is amazing. once i saw you made a cover i knew it would be the best. and your the only one on youtube that i can learn form correctly, great job

[jtodd900]

@RandomTstudios Thanks, I appreciate the comment. Glad the vids are helping you.

[buddy58691]

the saxaphone died when they started takin there shirts off lmao

[1984mgarza]

Nice video.. Hey how did you do that split screen thing? It's pretty cool

[modelking100]

@1984mgarza

More than likely Sony Vegas pro 9.

[jtodd900]

@1984mgarza Sorry didn't see this question. I use Ulead VideoStudio which is about $80. Like modelking said Sony Vegas is another that is a bit better but also a lot more expensive.

[TsunamiTD]

needs more sexophone

[SupremeLahh]

is it drop D?

[InkedCanadianGuy]

@SupremeLahh look at the tabs on the screen lol

[asperxful]

you are fucking awesome man!

[jcunit91]

I wish you tabbed all of it out.

[KEVOm107G]

cool slide, would like to know the solo too if its not asking too much :)

[crash9321]

nice cover man!!!

[Sigmafy]

I like the original version of this song too. It wasnt aweful minus the bad sax piano effect.

[gugik1970]

wait at the beginning you wrote that you play on G but you played on D 0:33

[hetfield2x4]

the slide did sound good haha

[fiberlight13]

Hey man! really good video

[kelly09093049959]

hey thnks 4 showing dis..

just a beginner 4 electric guitar..

[auracristinajimenez]

i like it

[Angrypoonani]

It's a bend for the first notes of the lead... and what about the lead rhythm riffs?? Also the post chorus/interlude is played using octaves

nice video though, like the split screen

[BrokenHero232]

Whats the pedal tone before the chorus?

[jtodd900]

@BrokenHero232 You mean the name of the tone??? Do you have a POD also?? Or are you talking about settings?

[BrokenHero232]

@jtodd900 Name of the tone lol, I'm kinda new to amps and distortions. Always played acoustic

[lovewhitsnikkers]

sweet ;)

[BreakawaySalmon]

Amazing job dude, Thanks, definitely gonna use this over the tabs they have for it.

[glayjosh03]

. . . .gOod !! i Love it !!

[listojay]

the tuning is different with the tuning of actual guitar so this is sucks

[jtodd900]

@listojay wtf are you talking about, this song IS in drop D

[listojay]

@jtodd900 just notice if you did that on your actual tuning guitar it will sounds different... im a music man... this tabs fails to me

[ratbone39]

@jtodd900 i figured that out half way through, would have been nice to include that somewere

[jtodd900]

@ratbone39 ??? Don't know what you are talking about

[ratbone39]

@jtodd900 you could have put somewhere like the description box that it was in drop D so i didn't have to feel like a dumb ass for assuming that people usually have standard tuning, I'm fucking sure the "standard" part of standard tuning is just ironic and everything is automatically in drop d unless otherwise specified - it not a big deal i personally would have said somewhere "hey by the way, drop d tuning"

[jtodd900]

@ratbone39 Guess what, no offense but you are kind of a dumb ass....the tuning is right on the tabs. What do you think those letters are on the left side on the tabs??? IDon't worry you're not the only one, I have recently started to put the tuning on the start of the video because there are so many dumb asses out there LOL

[craigramsden]

Hey bro, have you got a copy of just you playing this without Seether in the background so I can perfect my side. I am not sure that I have all the strumming down to well.

THanks

[craigramsden]

thanks man. I will find some online. Again, good work bro.

[craigramsden]

Hey man nicely done. Tell me do you have the chords you used for this so that I can play it without having to rewind the song the whole time to correct my mistakes?

Thanks for posting this song man.

[jtodd900]

@craigramsden Thanks but sorry, I used a combination of a couple tabs I found and don't have them in a file or anything.

[CPBlazier]

THIS WAS HARDCORE! YOU TURNED GAY INTO BADASS!

[ShortButSweet24]

what are you fx? they sound great!!

[crazydude251]

very nice man thanx

and you're right slide makes the song :)

[MrMusic6220]

Thanks so much for these videos they really help i mean i learned rise above this thanks to you and i love how ypu add the the tab you dont know how much it helps defo subbing thanks again xD

[amerikanpsycho66]

I was way off.

[MysteryNomad]

You need to mention the tuning you're using. I know but some people might not. Good job.

[jtodd900]

@MysteryNomad I know, I get asked all the time what the tunings are......it drives me crazy because it's on the tab. But I guess I need to put it on the title page.

[kayleighlouise94]

this is really good :)

i'm trying to learn this, i'm only a beginner and can't really work out rhythms, would you be able to tell me the rhythm, just like a simple down up down up on a 1+2+3+4+ as down would be 1 and up would an +?

as well i was looking at the tabs and it says that the beginning is 10b12, but you don't play bends, does it really matter?

thanks :) awesome btw :)

[jtodd900]

@kayleighlouise94 Thanks! At the time I made this I didn't play those extra notes in the verses, I need to redo it with them added in.

I probably don't play it exactly like Shaun, and I know I don't play it the same every time though. Might be a strum different here or there but try this for the verses. For the chorus you need to incorporate the slides in the same pattern.

d,(skip),d,d,u,u,d,d,u,d  -- so there is a one step pause/skip after the first down. Hope this helps.

[seetherkid1]

hey is the tabs for the chorus the same as the verse?

[jtodd900]

@seetherkid1 basically, 2 of the chords not played in the verses though - the ones before the slide....and no slide on the verses. You could play it the same probably and get away with it.

[fenderjambor102]

this is awesome! Good work! :] & i got a fender strat myself! nice!

[fatboytattoos]

very nice man, you show alot of talent

[neissoh]

so cool man tanx .....

[StackofNosiesFrtMn]

It's drop d. And the walk down of the intro/solo thing should all be justified down a string. it starts on the G string and goes (7,8,10,12), but it needs to start on the D string and do that. Same with the rest of the walk down. Good Job though. It takes a lot of time and patience to do these!

[EliasOwnage95]

cool i have the exact same guitar

[winner1215]

you seem to be struming mre then once on certain parts, are you just to lazy towirte the numbers over and over again?

[jtodd900]

@winner1215 There would not be enough room to write every strum in there and do you have any idea how much time I already put into these, I guess not. . I think even a first day player can hear the strumming and figure it out for themselves. This is so you can get the jist of it. Geesh you think you would have some fn appreciation dude! Feel free to go elsewhere to find better tabs.....good luck.

[winner1215]

@jtodd900 uhhh. . . sorry, I didn't mean it in a bad way

[marskmil]

@jtodd900 nice job man u own that song haha

[Talyesinbard]

I agree with you, the slide is f*****g great! :)

[Enigma0222]

dont worry man the slide sounds fuckin awesome

[meAKAmason]

at 29 seconds u need to move all those up a string

[matt03beasty]

hey awsome! i have the same exact guitar what amp do you have?

[jtodd900]

Thanks! My guitar is an American Fender Strat and I use a Matrix 1000 PA system. You actually don't hear any amp or the PA at all in my vids though cause I record directly to my computer from my PODxt Live pedal.

[failmeister51]

I love this version of the song, you deid a great job, but i re4ally dont understand the rhythm of them chords that well :(

[TheOMGboy]

can you give link for tabs for guitar pro?

[sergentlois]

pulot da yan! hahaha

[Number51lb]

Dude kick ass and easy to understand for beginers like me :D

[saado1o]

love it!

[eugenemarks08]

cool! tnx

[zidane851]

yeah they turned a gay song into a bad ass hit!@

[XXsashaXX985]

your guitar looks kinda like mine!! =)

[dirtymmaxXx]

i like this cover

[45calcan]

is it in drop c?

[BrunkN06]

drop D according to the tabs he put up

[Varmenthunter2]

drop d im sure

[MaCha6969]

drop d indeed... its written on the side of the tabs.

[SeroDarkmount]

@45calcan its in drop D, read the notes on the far left of the tab :)

[winner1215]

@45calcan I think it's standered

[coolmccool25]

@45calcan dude. from the tabs he shows. doesnt it show you that its drop d???

[PlugInBaby95]

Seether is South African!! hell yeah \m/

[ticosexy22]

@PlugInBaby95 Nice wiki bro

[monodosis1]

see and advise the great video monopereza

[LdCTTS]

Congratulations, you managed to transform this classic into some shitty punk music xd.

[jtodd900]

@LdCTTS I like to think Seether turned a gay song into a totally kick ass song!

[MIkeCampbellCKY]

George Michael is tottally gay dude.

[crash9321]

@jtodd900 song is not gay

[paulorugal]

ILMFAO i liked the Distortion you put at The chorus... XD

Thx for thejob man now i'll try to learn this intro XD

[IIIRingoIII]

I am really a fan when it comes to these things, I was pondering really hard to get these tabs to do the same effect, I too myself use podxt live multi effect pedal. But how come I can't make it sound the same? btw I am really grateful you made this flick.

[Chipzzo]

Thanxx (:

[asiat30]

Very good play Jtodd900.

[phrmaecopia]

wheres the lead guitar in the verse..

i want it?

[fender2220]

0:28 , u kinda upped the strings...wrong tab

[just1not2kool3]

and what did u do @the begning for the squeal noise

[jtodd900]

Just pick the strings up above the nut with distortion on.

[just1not2kool3]

can u tell me were to find tabs

[jtodd900]

I used a combination of a couple tabs I found at ultimate guitar but also changed a few parts too myself. So these tabs are not out there exactly to be printed out....that I know of ....

[adriantabus]

I just found this tab video of careless whispers ... I was wondering what pedal or effect are you using for distortion, cause it sounds very close to the original. I have a BOSS Gt-8 and I can't seem to get the effect to sound close enought ... thx a lot. stay cool

[jtodd900]

Hey adriantabus, I use a PODxt Live pedal and just use downloaded custom tones.

[wierdguitar]

hey... nice cover... very close... but the tabs in the last bit from 0:27 to 0:31 were 1 string too high...

[LordRezn]

What is the strumming pattern from 1:00 to 1:10? Can't seem to get it right (down up, down.... ect.)?

[Dogo4207]

sounds pretty close to me. you sure the bieginning isn't bend instead of walkin down the scale.... sounds like it to me. i haven't tried to learn it yet thought so i could be wrong

[jtodd900]

You are right Dogo4207, there are definitely bends in there and a couple lead slides into them. For some reason when I did the bends it just didn't sound like the right notes?? So I did it straight up and like you said it's pretty close. Sounded better than my bends so I just left it. Thanks for the comment

[3DGFORLYFE]

actualy there is a slide in the song......

[jtodd900]

It's actually like a low open note with a slight bend or something. Couldn't get the sound he did though so I went with the slide.

[jtodd900]

I think anyways :)

[mnava19]

what are u playing during the verse?

[epicryebread]

yeah jtodd is right....George in in Seether's music video....however pixelated.

[yhutz1608]

cool!!!

[Rick77]

Cool! Thanks Dude

[pawitzZkieE]

arigato sensei.... for the tabs and the song and the video... ^_____^ much thanks

[budwiseronfubar]

your a fucking moron its not Seether that first sang this song it was Gorge Michael. Seether stole it from him and now you cut him out of the picture completely.

[jtodd900]

Stupid ass, you really think I don't know George Michael was the original artist. Does this fucking sound like George Michael's version. I think not....I am covering Seether's version OBVIOUSLY!! So yeah it's a cover of a cover. And btw Seether didn't steal it, George is getting a piece of the pie too!!

[TheJoker1369]

its says right in the caption "Seether's version of the song"... learn to read dumbass

[jhonjpa]

muy buena

very good

[iAMcisco29]

thanx so much! ' just made my day right, thanx for the video lesson. rock on!

[MGSprodigy]

Nice stuff dude. You rock. Nice Strat too. I love Strats, they're so simple yet they're very cool and elegant.

[maejhoi]

Metal zone effects?

[clueless9112]

with the chorus how long or when do u change the 555 to the 888

[clueless9112]

thxz man great

[llajksi]

good job man I think that was perfect i'ts sounds like the real song perfect (Y)

[jtodd900]

[OblivionKBB44]

nicely done!

[daplin1234]

is that a squier bullet strat? my guitar looks like that! lol

[jtodd900]

It's an American made Strat

[fliptopman]

wtf dude?!?!?!??

the only part i need out of the entire song and you dont have it??

i need the little riff at 4:19 or 4:20

[vladisan2]

its the same as chorus just different timing

[ekserchina]

I agree fliptopman....I need that too...but he doesn't show it...too bad

[xXcrazyspadeXx]

nice thx for tabs!!!! u did grate!!! 5/5

[JFishkid16]

Good job dude, and thanks for putting the tabs up on here too. I've checked out some tab sites and they were either too difficult or not right at all. I also thank you for playing the lead after the first chorus, no tab site had that part at all and it drove me crazy. Anyways, keep up the awesome work

[M0Etivation]

sweet

[bhabymich123]

wats the tuning of ur guitar

[steveo049]

almost all of seethers songs are drop D flat

[jtodd900]

Yes most Seether's songs are 1/2 step down but this one is just Drop D....the tuning is on the left side of the tabs

[jtodd900]

Drop D

[TheJohnparente]

tell you the truth i don't like yours as much as some of the other ones

[makhulit23]

.,nice dude hehe

[hayman2k8]

[crisantiller]
