The Offspring - Kristy ,Are You Doing Okay ?(acoustic)

[jimjohnbong3]

for those of you who think he doesnt have the right voice for this song acoustic songs are harder to play cause noone can hear mistakes in live electric songs in acoustic songs you make one small mistake everyone hears it

[ramoncitotacan]

I luv offspring...Iuv this version

[marfiuss]

this is not offspring, but it is a good song, dexter isnt really made to sing this way tho .. thumbs up anyways OFFSPRING FTW

[thisistheescapeplan]

@marfiuss Uh. Correction. This IS Offspring. Don't you think it would be boring if a band did the same shit all the time? Nobody wants to hear the same thing over and over again. It's called trying new things for a reason. Though... Linkin park epically failed ever since Minutes to midnight. R&F, R&G has a lot of the similar sound of the offspring. They're still good. Green day is... um... I'll get back to you. Sully erna did his solo thing but he's still godsmack

[marfiuss]

@thisistheescapeplan i just think dexter doesnt have a propper voice for this type of song, again still its pretty good

[thisistheescapeplan]

@marfiuss His voice isn't exactly normal... but still, my point is that saying it's not the offspring is not right. What's the difference between this one and Spare me the details? They're both mostly acoustic sounding

[PHYCOGAMER]

dude the offsprings bringing punk and pop punk back into the Mainstream, keep it up you guys rock on

[shakmandril]

GRANDE DEXTER.....PLEASE COME CHILE DUDE.....!!!!!

[mmaurs89]

))))

[kmoch333]

The tuning is standard here. Though acoustic versions are usually played half step down. This one is standard.

[luislaw7]

Kmil3991- Here they play it standard without a capo but on the recording and video they use a capo on the 1st fret but in the video they dont show that!

[Kmill3991]

what tuning is that?

i play the same chords but they sound different....

[1234riseagainst]

AMAZING <3 *-*

[TheHotWaffle]

This song speaks to me so much. One of my friends showed it to me a few weeks ago. And even though he doesn't realize how much I can relate it, I'm incredibly thankful to him.

[Kakashka229]

WHAT IS A GUITAR? (SORRY MY ENGLISH) In priVATE please

[NadzVegas]

does anyone know the strum patter to thus song? I can't figure it out. thnx :)

[WikiLovePunk]

*-* Dexter Holland!<3

[scorpin969]

fuckin noodles man.

[PoPing89]

I love this song. knowing someone needed help in high school, but not sure if i should HELP. And it dosent every go away in my head. :(

[Urvattnet]

A dozen idiots are still wasting their lives trying to take back what was taken away.

[MrSafisana]

I like The Offspring but this sounds terrible

[illusionFTW]

@MrSafisana are you deaf...no that's not it you said terrible...ARE YOU NUTS?

[MrSafisana]

@illusionFTW No but this sounds terrible,I really like The Offspring but I hate this song

[rockonzac]

Does any one have the tabs or the tuning they use? Would be much apperichated (:

[jonsitron11]

@rockonzac Google it.

[keithzworld]

@rockonzac offspring[dot]com

[gurniecabs08]

11 idiots were blind

[dusdincorleone]

dexter plays electric ibanez and taylor acoustics

[StopUsingChickens]

I want his guitar D:

[147mirec]

to viem hrať

[demyxdance123]

I feel bad for Dexter Holland. Knowing that someone was sexually abused but not really knowing what to do. I kind of know what he feels like... But I don't have the mad tallent he does to be able to make a contribute to the person I want to help. Dexter is amazing. I don't have much talent. He definetly deserves the popularity this song is getting him. Shows people do have some heart for a poor girl. Rock on The Offspring!

[jonsitron11]

@demyxdance123 Now THAT'S a comment that deserves to be top comment.

[mallowman247]

11 ignorant people need this song explaining to them...

[07976372473]

Its not fair that they are looking so middle aged :-( I feel old they look old & I want the 90s to come back so i can enjoy them all over again - Nostalgia has set it, oh no not again.

[MissNothing09]

My fave Offspring song<3 <3

[Wammus85]

This acoustic shit realy rocks!

[jlrhind94]

hard to believe that these guys are getting old

[administrador494]

tabs guitar the orginal need pls.

[9eforlife]

What type of acoustic is he playing??

[vinnie01]

@9eforlife why? dexters apears to have 'taylor' written on the head stock :)

[cheezkid]

Dexter Holland FTW!!

[keepthefaithism]

i like this song!

[Trecool9726]

10 ppl are not feeling okay! Long Live The Offspring! Long Live Rock!

[freddyfan767]

I Love This song-3 I love how the strum of the guitar matches with the lyrics.

[Smarterthandumber]

Gosh, the Offspring. The memories. <3 :-)

[flappyguy911]

y is this version in a different key than the original recording, or am i tone deaf?

and if it is in a different key, wat key is it?

[2TheAnna2]

how can anybody dislike this song ?

[soultribe85]

pisteng yawa ngano naa paman mag dislike?

[enzolazaro16]

I LOVE THIS SONG :D

[CaliforniaNugg420]

I own every Offspring CD and will continue to purchase them til the end

[shadowunderdrums3]

This isn't a punk or agressive as their other stuff like from Smash, but this is beautiful.

[443556jack]

I came to the conclusion yesterday that the Offspring are a very close contender to being my favourite band.

[Savo2702]

0:58 Dexter playing mistake

[Jacksonrr123]

@Savo2702 who cares..

[Savo2702]

@Jacksonrr123 ...

[Jacksonrr123]

@Savo2702 what do you mean by that?

[wogmanful]

@Savo2702 he recovered pretty well tho

[Savo2702]

@wogmanful sure, they're good guitarrists

[StupidBallZ]

9 people aren't doing ok...

[NigelJackGat]

thumbs up if u herd this song on tv. an now love it :)

[cheezkid]

@NigelJackGat thumbs up if youve been a lifelong offspring and still love it

[piieeueep]

love it! ♥

[Eiktymi]

I love Offspring cca 13 years, but this is one of their worst songs. I like ballads, though Gone Away, Amazed etc, but this song is uninteresting.

[CaliforniaNugg420]

@Eiktymi

I find it kind of hard to believe this song is uninteresting. It's a true story about a girl Dexter knew who got abused and molested.

Round of Applause for The Offspring, over 25 years in music and still coming better than ever.

[Eiktymi]

@CaliforniaNugg420 I don't mean text, i mean music. It's too...mild and tardo.

[Deafonce123]

this song take me to the another 4 ,5 years back.....

[whitepeppers1]

this version is tuned a half-step down from the original version :)

[TILHENNING]

Wow that is great

[leon4929]

this guys are my idols :D

[rissx]

ear boner

[desconfortavel]

__________  Dex cute. S2

[ohmygoditsjo]

Noodles is awesome (:

[itauteclone]

MY FAVORITE BAND SINCE...1997 =)))

[eminemlover408]

DEXTER HOLLAND <3

[TheGreyshaun]

this rulles he has a fucking good voice

[MrSoeltoft]

I believe his playing 1 tone deeper than in the org version. 

[TheVizzard]

@MrSoeltoft In fact, he's playing half step down than studio. Just without capo.

[MrSoeltoft]

@TheVizzard 

[d9Id9IRomka]

Amazing! I like it so much =)

[edisfoamy]

I love the guitar at the end! I think they should have made their song longer!

[cheezkid]

dexter holland is god

[TheOffKing95]

Love the Acoustic Version :D

[LondonOpinon]

any one got the chords for this version

[xSnAxTaXx]

@LondonOpinon i'm tabbing this version now, or attempting to, i'll post lead guitar part if i get around to it

[xSnAxTaXx]

@LondonOpinon looking at it, there is already a tab for this (1st result when searching on ultimate-guitar) this version just doesn't have the capo on 1

[thevideoking01]

hehe.. noodles

[sometimesthomas]

Has one been able to figure out the tab for this? All the ones I find are no good.

[ignacq133]

my godness, awesome

[NickBoston21]

wow.. great acoustic!!

[aoekitty]

leider zu viele falsche töne... wie man den song so vergraulen kann...

[edisfoamy]

0:59 haha Dexter almost went an octave higher! Still love the song though!!

[0Tanaka0]

Dexter is so cute! :P

[ApplezAreAmazing]

dexter seems awefully nearvous =[

[MickeRamone]

haha I love the last few seconds where Noodles plays the last little tone and fixes his glasses, and then looks pleased with himself =)

[lgndmkr12]

i did a cover of this song in a day

[TeMaRiO1993]

Noodles is great! I liked his solo!

[tokio97hotel]

6 idiots pushed the dislike button

[dnirvine]

@tokio97hotel Currently 12 idiots.

[thrasherlml]

@tokio97hotel whatabout the others who hit it?

[AffectTheEffect1]

ahh his voice is kinda whiney.. 

[hazyskyline]

"Kristy is about sexual coercion/molestation and is based on a true story. When I was younger, I knew a girl that was abused. I don't know whether I am the first musician to write about this subject, because it is obviously very delicate and anything but easy to make a song about such a complex theme. I also think or hope that this song speaks to other victims and can help them to talk or come out about their problem." - Dexter

[joleighable]

@hazyskyline speaks to me everytime I hear it....everyday I pray this never happens to my daughter..I am a rose that blooms now

[SamPhil98]

jungs ihr seid die geielsten auf erden

boys you are  best in the world

[Helghast]

This song means a lot to Dex.

[playingtheangel24]

I LOVE DEXTER HOLLAND!!

[Flaggermusen]

HAHA! Never thought I would hear the word "Neatly" come out of these guys!

[StopUsingChickens]

OMFG Did Dexter become that old in one shot ?

Anyway Offspring rocks !

[slimjim561]

he looks like 35 but he sounds 16 lol

[PikaPalCorina]

AH that's why my guitar didn't sound right when I played this

He covered the hole in his guitar XD

[santikpoDBZ]

@PikaPalCorina That's doesn't have anything to do xD, they cover the hole, so the sound won't get in the mic (because the guitars are conected) the hole is what make's the guitar sound whe it isn't coneccted

[PikaPalCorina]

@santikpoDBZ

Ohh~ Whoops..

I'm new to the guitar thing thats why

3-4 months I think? XD

[santikpoDBZ]

@PikaPalCorina

Jajajaj no problem :B, keep playing :)

[kellkell1995]

i like the acoustic the best

[BeruCampos]

Way Back when we were just kids... =/ I wish I could turn back time a few years... hm

[jorgecbooc]

[Darkjew]

[gerald22macoolit]

[oppositeofme1]

[BMXBOBO]

which takamine guitar should i buy? im after something small bodied but with a powerfull sound

[fallenagainstyou]

@KittyKitKatKatherine .....well u're wrong..they play taylor acoustic......look at the headstock ....u dont even have to read.....its taylor.....takamines headstocks look diferent

[KittyKitKatKatherine]

@fallenagainstyou in the MUSIC VIDEO he plays a takamine :P so ha

[KittyKitKatKatherine]

@fallenagainstyou watch the music video for this and then yeah he plays a takamine in the music video ^^

[Majki1820]

They are drunk!!! :)

[thepunkfish109]

1:00 ...don't forget which E to go to there Dex lol

[SynysteRisme]

do anybody have/can make a lesson video how to play the song using these chords????

[anonimus5705]

Am I not seeing right or is Dex missing the B and high E string?

[TheFenderplayer94]

nah, he has all the strings, u can determine it by looking at the headstock of the guitar ;)

[anonimus5705]

So, is he muting 'em with his middle finger?

[TheFenderplayer94]

um nt necessarily, it is much more convenient to mute the e and b strings using the lower part of ur index finger plus he does strum all the 6 strings, lifts the pick a bit wen reaching the bottom

[AEDrummer1]

no they are there

[UtterLouis]

SABEEE¡¡

[Groovinon1269]

[KraftyRocks]

[nikbias]

yes, he was almost wrong in 0:59. too little views for all these acoustic playings anyhow

[TehCaster]

He seems to keep the lyrics .. short.

[BrickinsoN]

Look at the 0 : 59 :) Dexter would be wrong :)

[SoCoJacksManx3]

wow he looks like a totally different person with short hair!! lol but i likey it =]

[TransfixatedBR]

It's been short for a long time.

This emo thing he's got going has to go.

Shit, bring back the dreads over that shoulder length faggotry.

[Miiriiamm92]

love them <3 my favorite band:)

[Bulletz4Brainz]

great song. the affspring is a kick ass band. i think the acoustic version of this song is best.

[AMysta69]

the affspring is alright but i'm a bigger fan of the offspring.

[AlexAmerling19]

great song. offspring's one of my all time favs
