[jochemlol]

...You seriously are my #1 favorite artist x3..

[Necroskull388]

Huh. I had always assumed that it was pronounced Vol-tay-ere, like Altair.

[DanielPenguinAfrica]

God thinks or zombie prostitute would be awesome to learn how to play..

[Laurie2733]

Oh and I'd love to learn eith "God Says" or "When You're Evil" ^_^

[Laurie2733]

[PsychoticGeek23]

Awesome tutorial, but is there any way to play this without tuning the guitar down a step? It just takes so long and I don't have a real tuner at the moment, lol.

[SilaconYT]

I want to stroke his beard... just... once... one stroke. it looks so perfect in a way.

[PsychoticGeek23]

@SilaconYT After reading that comment and looking at his beard, now I want to as well. Let's kidnap him so we can pet him and his awesome beard!

[SilaconYT]

@PsychoticGeek23 Qoute- "Where the hell am-i-i-iiii?"

[ribbit4naruto]

One of my favourite things about this song is the eerie whisper you hear in the background. It's devilishly sweet.

[TDWPsylosis666]

Would love to learn to play "Happy Birthday My Olde Friend" :D

[jimdoesjokes]

Voltaire Big time listener here. All your songs are equally brilliant. My favorite song of all of them which is hard to choose but I keep coming back to it is wait for it....

The Man Upstairs. I relate to this one, sometimes I wish slapping neighbors was legal. Could you please teach this one. Also I'm going to Megacon in Orlando this year, will you be there? Rock On. \m/ ^--^ \m/  v

[AdidasGangster]

PLEEEEEAAAAASE teach us "Accordion Player" !!! I love that song

[fukthekitchensonfire]

<3 you voltaire! i did one of ur songs in a cabaret once, i had my music teacher change the chords to piano. the song was goodnight demon slayer :3 you should post a video on how to play it on guitar

[TommyMeda]

Pleaaaase teach us "The Night" and "Crusade"! Those songs have really fun guitar...that I can't figure out by ear...

[laartje24]

Voltaire you've got me motivated to learn how to play guitar. I have played a bit piano before but never guitar so I have asked my dad if he would learn it to me and now I'm trying hard to get that chords finaly right. Thank you very much for making this videos Voltaire.

[RSVDCN]

EPIC BEARD!

[ShadowTheDark100]

definatly the song "when you're evil".

[PsychoticGeek23]

Am I the only person who squealed with happiness at this video? I love this song and now I can learn it! :D (After I learn how not to suck at guitar first, of course.)

Also, YOU SHOULD HAVE TALKED ABOUT THE DRINKING GAME!!! XD

[RSVDCN]

You are awesome! nuff said

[LaPokevioladora]

its awesome, cause you know, it's kinda hard to find the chords on the net... can you teach us how to play stuck with you??? :)

[Videogamefreak44]

Awww man I love Voltaire.

First song i've heard of his was zombie prostitute

And I would love to learn how to play either

Zombie prostitute

or

Day of the dead

And voltaire looks like ezio auditore so much in this vid(older ezio)

But yes

Zombie prostitute!

[Aditax23]

Thank youuuuuuuuuu soooooo much! OH MY GOTH! :D xD

i like it! ^^!

I LUV THAT SONG LOL

[XmattX13omneg]

[nuggylogsauce]

Oh my god, I was following along with the song and couldn't help but join in singing and laughing, first time I've ever sung and played at the same time. Thanks Voltaire, I love you man.

[laartje24]

[JADENMD1]

[PeinMauro]

Can You Make Day Of The Dead? 0w0!

[Ferbdude95]

...because I'm stupid! LMAO

[MarchingBass3YAY]

Your guitar is so damn shiny that I see the camera women haha

Although I don't know how to play guitar, this makes me want to learn even more.

[RaineAtMidnight]

Voltaire, you have prompted me to start learning how to play guitar.

I can only hope that someday I will be half as good at it as you.

I would love to learn how to play "Future Ex Girlfriend"...

[laartje24]

@RaineAtMidnight waha same for me. my father plays guitar so I'm gonna ask him to teach it to me.

[OddNumberedFilmFan]

So I don't forget the strings on a standard 6 string guitar I use the memory trick: Every Anal Dildo Gets Bart Erect.

[Kukkii1337]

@OddNumberedFilmFan that'd work perfect if it was in standard tuning D;

[governm3ntsucks]

I know I'm gonna look like the biggest douche... but can you please teach us how to play "Brains"

I don't care if it's the most labeled song it's still catchy damnit!

[thelucaslayer]

Please, Voltaire, I really want to learn how to play Born Bad and Believe.

[darkshadowsvampiress]

This one probably won't get picked, but would you be interested in teaching us how to play "Hallo Elskan Min"?

[MusicalSilenced]

i bet someone's already said, but i believe the strings would be called DGCFAd :D

[Kukkii1337]

I've tuned my guitar to full step down, but some of it doesn't have the same ring is that a fault of not having the same guitar or tuning ? any points D: !!

[VivamusDraconem]

I love that sweater

[snowywhitequeen]

Voltaire, I haven't picked up my guitar in two years. It is tuned and next to me right now. Turns out I really like the guitar. ^^

[TheVampDiony]

I love this!!! Your an amazing teacher...

[vicarofrevelwood]

Simple request for a lesson, This ship is going down, and, The bottom of the sea.

Thank you.

[CEddieMaes]

Love it love it love it!!!

Can't wait to see which one you do next!

Really hoping for Goodnight Demonslayer. First song I ever heard you play and still one of my favorites : )

[LadyVngnz]

The Beast Of Pirate's Bay or ....Braaaaiiiinnnnss!! XD

[darkarcher666901]

Awesome - has inspired me to take up my guitar again after several years of it hiding from me, thanks :-). Love to see goodnight demon slayer at some point and devil, devil.....

[robertej]

what about zombie prostitute?

[BlackLeafSkate]

Teach Beast of Pirates Bay!

[kokokokokokokokoko2]

You are BEST. =)

[wall0645]

I would LOOOVE to know the chords to "stuck with you"!!!! <3 Subscribed, thanks for the demo!

[chapman2chapman150]

can you show me how to play u.s.s. make shit up

[samalinder]

wow you look so different without your usual getup.

[sasukekuuun]

Goodnight Demonslayer would be nice. Then, after the conclusion of the Ex-Lover's Lover drinking game, we can learn how to lull those still conscious to sleep and steal their wallets.

[HappyDas]

I've always loved your music. ^_^ Great humour, style, music, etc.

Here's are my requests:

The Beast of Pirate's Bay

The U.S.S Make Shit Up

And I'll go with some other people on here: Goodnight Demon Slayer. ^_^

And to think the first time I heard of you was in a little room that was too small at a Steampunk World's Fair two or three years ago, and you explained many random things about your life and music (like The Man Upstairs)--you ended up going overtime (as usual, apparently =P).

[RicardoGadelha]

I would love to learn how to play Happy Birthday my Olde Friend and Death Death! You rock!

Cheers from Brazil :)

[IcedMB]

You don't use a pick, do you? Could you also say which strings you are picking there?

Love your singing voice by the way!

[Senseilargol337]

you know what id love to learn to play? innocent from the black unicorn album..that song means a lot to me..and also maybe brains because..that episode of billy and mandy is how i learned of you...:)

[rmarisela30]

I just have to say...I find you soo attractive ;) I love your voice..

[snowywhitequeen]

You are epic, sir. 8D

[MissMakeupWitch]

Thank you so much! The original version of vampire club please? x

[hellsvortex]

can i dare ask what in the world that creepy baby doll is behind your shoulder its looks very bizzare

[VoltaireMusicPage]

@hellsvortex It's a doll I made in my book Paint It Black: A Guide to Gothic Homemaking. In the book, I teach how to make a Goth doll from a regular baby doll.

[angelicafowl]

@VoltaireMusicPage Where can I buy that and do they deliver worldwide?

[truquests]

I always hoped you would do this. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU SO MUCH! Can you please show how to play Goodnight Demon Slayer. I love that song! It's so beautiful.

[Budegadomarco]

Does anyone know about any videos teaching Voltaire songs for the piano?

[VoltaireMusicPage]

@Budegadomarco I don't play piano so I'm afraid there won't be any of those videos.

[Radiscool1]

@Budegadomarco Were you paying attention? @VoltaireMusicPage said the song is E minor in D (D minor) and A minor in D (G minor). If you play piano you might want to look into music theory and learn to play chords. It's really the same thing as learning it from him on guitar except you're ignoring the tablature he shows and just playing the chords he says. It couldn't be more simple, bro.

[Budegadomarco]

@Radiscool1 I don't know theory actually ,i learn in the interwebz,lol .But i shall look for it

[Radiscool1]

@Budegadomarco A piano player who does not know music theory!? I thought you guys are extinct, bro. Only from fairy tales and such :P

[Budegadomarco]

@Radiscool1 I'm a living legend motherfocka,lol

I have been playing for 6 months actually i don't take it seriously

[vintage1351]

as soon as I saw the title of this vid I ran and grabbed my guitar.

Also, we'll let it slide that you can't "read guitar." In fact, that makes it all the more impressive. Voltaire does it original "jazz" style...played by ear, not by notation and algorithms and music theory and all that jazz...just straight up good old fashion playing it by feel.

I hope you're happy V. Do you know how long that took me to tune that by ear, because I don't know where my tuner is.

ANASTASIA, please!

[Evilrose0611]

God thinks please :)

[1Varrok1]

May I suggest you start from songs that aren't at ultimate guitar dot com plz? :P

[MasteredMitch]

The Dirtiest Song That Ain't!!! (Great party song) ;D

[gogames31]

OMG,one of my favorite Voltaire songs ever!!!! Love this video.great idea,V. <3

[narutofan6392]

Also, Satan has possessed your curtains. 

[narutofan6392]

OH god oh god oh god oh god...how to play videos...oh god oh god oh god.

[darksslayer]

i quit... im trying make a cover of this song with a violin, its very hard.

But thank you voltaire,now i ll make of cover with guitar

=p

[chenata]

I think this song is one of my favorites. I hum it quite frequently at work. I sang it at a friend when she asked me what I was humming.....she was a little taken aback by the lyrics. SO therefor I just hum, apparently people don't take quite well to songs about killing when your decorating a birthday cakes....

[jacobbill]

Voltaire, you are rocking that bun, man. You look like a modern samurai. c:

[pie2490]

alchemy mondays please

[wrarwimadragon]

Blue Eyed Matador and maybe Anniversary would be nice for this series :)

[skitnik100]

Great Voltaire ;DDDD!!!!I will try to play it on my doubble bass...Btw you are the best and im your big fun.I listen your song and sing them :D.Especialy on Halloween i singer your song ,,WHen you are evil'' in my scool and i rocked at stage.<3 you !!

[XBlackRoseAlchemistX]

Can I just express how much I love your voice?

You've a brilliant voice. Talking or singing. Your voice is just nice to hear.

[EagleLavander]

OMG YES I've been hoping for this to happen thankyouthankyouthankyou :)

I vote for a "how to play" of Goodnight Demonslayer, Feathery Wings and When You're Evil

[madlycan]

thank you for doing this.

I would really appreciate it if you would consider showing how to play the songs: Almost human  BRAINS! and Cathouse Tragedy

thank you very much^^

[oddjester]

Request for How to Play Innocent. Goodnight Demonslayer would also be awesome.

[AhcriSlate]

You are so amazing! the perfect man

[tntdynomite92]

I, myself, would like to learn another song off the same album, "The Chosen"... I truly enjoy hearing it.

[KAPkris]

@tntdynomite92 I second this

[PurpleCowsMakeGJ]

I agree with everyone on Goodnight Demonslayer! :D I wanna learn how to translate it to piano. :3 (which...shouldn't be hard...I may need to practice like crazy though...I haven't played in a while...e_e)

[PurpleCowsMakeGJ]

This was wonderful! :D :3

[DustfullRodent]

I recently bought an accordian because it looked pretty (and I was eligible for a sweet discount!)... I'm musically retarded but I'd love to play something Voltaire on it ^^ ...That's not a request, just a dream. lol.

[HocicoVulpes]

I love it! Even though its simple its still a wonderful song!

[themumbler11684]

Please do goodnight demon slayer!! I have to know the chords cause I'm learning it on ukulele! Please!

[2flowerclover]

Hey Voltaire, I'm a fan and hats off, you role =) A song I wasn't able to figure out on my own how to play, or even find any tabs on the internet is the CRUSADE. I think its your best song and I would be delighted if you could share how it goes with us! Thanks and just to compliment, this vlog thing is AWSOME!

[oufaze]

Voltaire! you are so cute even when you sing about killing poeple... XD

I would be very happy to learn the chords for BLUE EYED MATADOR!!!

and I have a good reason for it...

hope to see it!

[AurelianLupul]

Hell yeah...DUNCE all the way!!



[1Varrok1]

Thank you very much for tutorial! :D I'd love to learn how to play All the Way Down (wanted to learn that before I even touched my guitar for the first time), if you were so kind and make it someday.... :D

[unclesiixx]

Im a huge fan of yours Mr. Voltaire I love how this sounds, it sounds pretty cool for only 2 chords :D please teach us how to play dunce, let it go, and... all your songs :P! Que tenga buen día..!

[jaco8s1]

good night demon slayer or when your evil

[sasuke86420]

@VoltaireMusicPage THIS SHIPS GOING DOWN PLEASE!!!!! I LOVE YOU VOLTAIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

[MasteredMitch]

Can you please make a 'How to play' video for Anniversary? It's the most beautiful song I have ever heard... maybe a few from your 'Hate Lives in a Small Town" album, too!!

[NPro94]

Don't go by the River ot To the Bottom of the Sea

"How to play" will be a huge hit, I'm sure of it

[Kukkii1337]

Lovesong would be cracking to play, your rendition was my favorite tbh, But, failing this, The Happy Song would be Cracking to play!

[efalcon94]

Pleeeeaaasssseee teach beast of pirates bay I found some chourds online but idk if they're right. I need to learn the strum pattern!

[sexysithlordsbitch]

You're amazing! Thank you! I have to agree with "good night demon slayer" I sing that to my daughter before bed, every night.

[trinketzx77]

Zombie prostitute!

[bigboobGG]

when you're evil^^ or fear and anguish, an old one or a new one :P

Greetings From Argentina :D♥

[TheScreamingCarrot]

Now, I'm not a guitarist, but because you're playing in a dropped tuning, doesn't that make the chords Dm and Gm? Most of your other songs are in D minor as well, so why not just keep them in E minor? Is it to do with your range. Also, I'm suprised (and relieved) that there was A7 (or B7 using the standard tuning) throw it there. One of my favourite songs, too.

[AmiDiamargo]

As a very much self taught/beginner player, I cannot stress enough how much I appreciate you making these 'how to play' videos :D

If you don't mind me asking, are you ever intending on learning bar chords and the like? :3

I play the viola, and i'm personally rather miserable with theory, and shifting from first position into any of the lower ones.. but I have the sneaking suspicion that If I had a better grasp on it, a whole new world of possibilities would present themselves to me..~

[xxthescaredxx]

I'd love to see how to play see you in hell...or maybe # 1 fan...but actually i think any song would be perfect...

[tbush127]

Goodnight Demon Slayer? id like to know how to play it for my son when he is born.

[chewyfans]

My guitar teacher used to get really upset with me because I couldn't do bar chords right... Now I don't need to!! I've been dying to play your songs but I could never find them. Thank you so much!!! :)

[Suziway]

you can tell that you are a teacher ^w^ awesome

[RealityTainted]

Feathery Wings, been dying to play that song ^^

[LearsiLys]

Well ahmm

I'd lke to learn ahmm

how to play "This Sea"

Jajaja

It's a very beautiful song and I thnk it's a little bit hard to play it on guitar without the Piano..........But............­....... whatever...........

Thank you for create this "how to play" section....

(Section???)

[Suziway]

@LearsiLys "This Sea" is pretty simple. i figured it out by ear.

Dm,G7 , Gm, A7, Dm

Basically you have to switch them around in the song.

[LearsiLys]

Oh my GOD!!!!

Thank You!!!!!!

Jajajaja

[CauniontheTimeLord]

I don't suppose you have sheet music regarding the violins. I really really really really really really really love the strings in your songs and I'm learning how to play the violin so I would really x10 love to learn how to play "When You're Evil".

[Skittishjoker]

dunce

[xPhantomCatx]

I'd be very interested to learn how to play any of the pirate-y songs, like beast of pirate's bay, stuff like that ;P

[HeizenXD]

OKAY that is just weird, i had been listening to this song today and thinking to myself man i'd sure love to play this song AND BAM a video.......that's peculiar

[efalcon94]

Teach Beast of pirates bay. (ps I've asked you how to play some songs before when you use to use myspace and you replied :D...just woundering if you remember.probobly not lol)

[JPPchannel]

Awesome! Great job as always. Nice guitar by the way I have one that is very similar, Its a Jasmine by Takimine. I would love to see a how to play "Ravens land" by you its one of my favorites.

[AngelusZA]

Well, I don't play guitar, but if my girlfriend learns 'Dunce' and 'Death Death,' I will ignore the fact that we're only 17, and that it hasn't even been a month yet, and I will propose to her.

So it'd be cool if you could post Dunce and Death Death. The Man Upstairs would be pretty cool as well.

[FullMoonIsis]

you're amazing... er.. I mean.. The Mechanical Girl? :D

[Deshift00]

Good Night Demon Slayer would be awesome!

[CaptainPirateMonkey]

I would like to learn "Robber baron".

[Necrovoker]

I'd like When Your Evil or Good Night Demon Slayer, seem like classics :)

[MrCubish]

Blue eyed matador please!

[amimoon]

Can u tech us how to play "When you're evil"

[XBlackRoseAlchemistX]

I'd like to learn Zombie Prostitute, In the land of the dead, and Death, Death (devil, devil, devil, devil, evil, evil, evil, evil song.

[MegaCrazyDoc]

play goodnight demon slayer!!!

[MisterHumps]

Great video, especially from an idiot savant of guitar playing. Lol. I also feel the need to thank you for taking time out to do this, I appreciate it.

I'd love a How To Play for any (and all) of the following:

Brains!, Cannibal Buffet, Hate Lives in a Small Town, and The Man Upstairs.

[ILuvHikaruAndKaoru]

Yay, this is one of my favourite songs! :'D

Umm... Er... Maybe '#1 Fan'? o:

[JaxAndCoke]

What about goodnight demon slayer? I'd love to see that one played. By the way I loved this. :D

[Keronenn]

One of my favourite songs.

The guitar is simple, but it fits perfectly with the violin and lyrics~

[reaperspiderskeleton]

I want Happy Birthday my olde friend or Land of the Dead



[MohawkedMaven]

Voltaire, you're the best. ♥

[thepegelow]

Thank you sooooo much. I LOVE this song and was curious about how to play it. You're wonderful, by the way. X)

[LOVEMARIANASTRENCHi]

hate lives in a small town too

[luisangelargote]

Please show us how to play death, death,devil, devil, evil, evil song ;)

Also Ii would like to hear out of reach...

Greetings from Colombia!

[LOVEMARIANASTRENCHi]

i want to learn the beast of pirates bay

[JoelLinskTV]

@VoltaireMusicPage are all the songs you play tuned down by the way,by the way i think your tuning is DGCFAD,

also id like you to go over the Night off of almost human

[MariusHorror]

Noob question

Why you tune your guitar full step down?

[0xOBIEx0]

@MariusHorror It probably suits his voice better :)

[MariusHorror]

@0xOBIEx0 seems legit

[LizabellaRose1]

I never noticed before....but you have beautiful hands. :)

[flyingcabbit]

Off topic, but that sweater...unf. :P

[ebonybane]

God Thinks would be an obvious followup :)

[serifinaxxx]

Could you ever show sheet music for your music, especially for the vocal line? I play violin, and would love to play your music.

[peeweesquidxx]

Can you do a how to for The headless waltz?

[loserraver]

Sounds amazing, New Camera of did you do the separate audio recorder?

[VoltaireMusicPage]

@loserraver YES! I shot this one on the Cannon 7D and just used the built in mic. Not bad!

[loserraver]

@VoltaireMusicPage not at all! sounds amazing. Comparatively of course.

[Kukkii1337]

@VoltaireMusicPage Greeting Voltaire, what type of Acoustic is worth going for ?

PLus I was the one that shouted Gaudalajara at Glasgow, You should know me immediatly sir ;D

[Kirokusclone]

I kind of want to get a guitar now.
