[BillyandBarry]

not a whole lot of differences between an electric and an acoustic?

oh, you mean outside of that whole AMP THING that electric guitars always seem to have.

does this guy even know anything about this instrument?

[Zas379]

What electric guitar doesn't work well with rock? And wtf are you talking about there's not a big difference between acoustic and electric! Theres a massive difference!!

[Zas379]

someone didn't write a very good script.

[TheTexanAtheist]

Oh well I only have crayons and a cheap guitar guess I can't make a great rock sawng!

[johnnynocaster]

Yeah, get a good electric guitar like a Kay or Harmony or a Telsco.

[speaker3600]

the only tool you need to write a song is your brain

[DoctorWhoLukeStyle]

dude ur a fail most of the top rock songs and artists made there famous songs when they were like 19 using a $20 guitar and uh u could use a pencil u know

[blueshadow2013]

...stratocasters as the gibson les paul? :| not a good joke

[xCyberFang]

I never would have guessed I needed a guitar to write rock music. of course hes wearing an Affliction T-Shirt, so that explains everything right there. I want my 1:44 back, Justin Timberlake.

[acousticsongs48390]

what if I have a crappy pen but it has sentimental value? Does that mean I can never write a good rock song with my special pen?

[chemajmcollado]

Damn!!! this guy is a fucking genius, thanks man for the lesson it was useful i mean i didnt know that u needed a pen to write i was planing to do it with my finger but aight.............¬¬

[rawrgrr4298]

you want to get a goooooooood pen.

I'm sorry, could you emphasise that anymore please?

[jacobtheguitarfreak]

"These are your most important tools in writing rock songs"... Number one, your song sucks. Number 2, I'm pretty sure your instrument is more important than a damn pen.... I've written complete songs in my head without writing em down, then i typed em up.... Number 3, for you it may be but everybody writes differently.

[tomskatesstreet666]

You need a pen? :O I would have never guessed.

[Kanon15081988]

wasting time

[TheresNoFreeUsername]

OH MY GOSH! YOU'RE AWESOMEEE!!!!! YOU HAVE A GIFT IN TEACHING PEOPLE! Thanks for the tips, I almost started to write a rock song with a thrashcan, a water balloon and a lawnmower! Imagine what would have happened...

[GGB]

Is a piece of lined paper instead of a journal ok? Please tell me, I want to write a ROCK SONG!!!!!!!111!!!!!

[aron311]

@GGB i don't think it matters

[thelibertines91]

[TheMattPegg]

[drskillzz]

lmao. giving this 5 stars. pure jokes.

[migtobias]

your videos is a piece of shit

[JantzenMcAmisTv]

0:41-0:43 "And here's a pen." Thank you so much for telling me that, I would have never figured that one out.

[yipyipyipi]

OMG you should all STFU, He is going on about the Pen and Notebook, because he wants to stress their importance, I am a songwriter and I know that if I didn't always have a pen and paper handy, over half my songs today wouldn't exist.

[pmasta333]

need a good pen

[ChristianGallopMusic]

he said he bought the notebook then he said it was a gift.. ahha.

[litlemadguitarist]

XD why does he have to go on about a pen and a notebook???

[J0SHYSPLACE]

[HeyHeyHamish]

he looks and sounds like he's going to cry

[aDn00s]

1 minute and 44 seconds of BULLSHIT.

YOU NEED A GOOD PEN NOT JUST A PEN YOU NEED A GOOD PEN.

stop talking about how you got your notebook and pen and get to the point

[ChronMan24]

this video may be basic, but he's laying the foundation for how to write a rock song. his words aren't as important as the message (at least in this video, watch his others if you need to).

[KillAllHumans52]

I actually laughed my ass off when he says "and here's a pen" as if I'VE NEVER SEEN STATIONARY BEFORE IN MY LIFE!

[robocopkane]

hahahahahaha

what a sap

[synysterblack28]

apparentely humans are that stupid we dont know what we need to write a song.

[jakethe208boarder]

so, i have a pen and paper and an electric guitar. thats why i want to write a rock song. lol. try expanding some more.

[VirtualLife227]

is this video a joke? thanks alot sir points out the obvious

[yipyipyipi]

@VirtualLife227 this is for BEGINNERS dude, he has to assume that you know NOTHING about songwriting. Get a life, and not a virtual one.

[firegeek22]

U have opened my eyes. The first thing I need to writing a rock song is a "goood pen"...thanks for the help genius!

[Karmornaru]

"here is a pen." so simple, so true.

[UnpopSocietyDrummer]

lol. the VERY MOST IMPORTANT thing to writing music, the best secret, the way everyone gets success, is to get a VERY good pen, YOU NEEED IT.

[djangolian]

[Stevenup7004]
