[fireinthehills1]

It helped but I had trouble figuring out where you were putting your fingers maybe try a higher camera angle next time. Thanks though!

[moliba11]

[Heathathnasoodua]

good video man.. i'll have to get around to this sometime... your parents having a party in the background or what? lol you didn't want any part of that? =P

[tatelabianca]

splendid tutorial, man! thanks a lot.

[algore92]

thats cool thanks, but do you know that part after that, after the 2nd verse, i think its the choris, the part where its really big and the drums, hny tonk and piano come in??? i cant find it!!!

[flymagus]

okay now... i'm one of your fans.

[whitestripebuzz]

I just think it's easier to play that G note on the D string instead of playing an open G. I also think it's just faster to slide to the G. It's certainly not because it sounds wildly different, it's only because of efficiency.

[mixtapeinfection]

typically when you make tutorials, you don't play the song faster than it's actually supposed to be and add flourishes/slides in order to show off.

[NintenjoPower]

i learned the song by watching a live video of elliott smith, and he plays it this fast, if not faster (the video with him in an 88 shirt). i also mentioned in the info page that it is, indeed, faster than the CD version, but in order to not waste time, i played it fast (because if you're watching a tutorial video, you're probably familiar with how the song goes).

and i don't add any "flourishes" to the song; i only slide to one note in the progression. sorry if that's considered showing off.

[mixtapeinfection]

you say you're playing the song as it's played in the live video, yet you add your own slide to it?

that's weak.

[mjudesmusic]

that one chord isn't diminished. its a G7. cheers for the rest.

[tillyandthepoo]

hows about the chorus?

[atunenrama]

Great help! I was a bit scared at first with you playing the thing so fast at the start of the video, but the video really got me on the right track... Thanks a million!

[catgumart]

Thanks that is a big help!

[bugmenotsweden]

[tzohfeld]

AMAZING... and is that a daisy rock because i swear i see some pink on it

[Stillillgal]

tnx

[DaveVazquez]

very helpful, and you play it really well, thanks

[awelch65]

Cool, thanks man. Those accent notes were throwing me off. I just kept cheating out and playing only the fall down notes.

[CHAOSFEST]

slow down!

its not a fast song

[NintenjoPower]

yeah, i have trouble playing songs incredibly fast on tape because i always think that people will get bored and watch something else...

but you're right, and i apologize for the speed.

[CHAOSFEST]

thats fine,keep it up man. :)

[wdxdino]

I thought it was appropriate that it was played fast because it was really just an example before u explained how to play it. and great work! this is the most helpful tutorial iv watched, very easy to follow.

[NintenjoPower]

thanks buddy! i figured everyone knows how the song goes before they try to learn how to play it, so playing it normal speed would have been a tad boring... thanks for understanding!

[FantasyParadox]

that's nice.

that chord's not diminished though, it's a G7

[relmz441]

very nice sire

[iamsamc]

You rule.

[timARTA]

Wonderful! Thank you sir.

[hserokdivad]

Awesome. Thanks :)

[allafleche]

thanks a lot!

[allafleche]

this is great but could you also show your right hand?

(yes i'm a guitar noob)

[NintenjoPower]

Ok, well, it kind of rocks back and forth from the D string to the G and B strings. So it's like strum the D string notes, and then strum the G and B string notes at the same time, then back to the D string. Hopefully that helps!

[wnpgguy]

smooth transitions, NIIEEEECE

[pluginthird]

cheers mate.

[difenbachia]

that is perfect lesson! Thanks for posting!
