[vietnamesegalz]

LMHO!!! "chop off your pinky and could still play this song"

[eddieprohaska]

hey great vid! i was just wondering if you could tell me when to move my fingers. that would be very helpful. thanks! awesome vid!

[flammingcarrot]

@eddieprohaska Check my other tutorial for the fingerpicking tutorial on my channel.

[hochbob]

Way too much talking.

[trasum123]

@flammingcarrot You r pro, maybe you could teach us to play TNT if u play the eletric!!!

[MrBoombalitsy]

no, no, to let now. This pinky is comin' off!

[trasum123]

Thank you sooo much!!!!! you helped me so much that i won my school talent show!!!!!

[flammingcarrot]

@trasum123 Dude that's freaking awesome! Congrats on winning your school's talent show! I'm glad I was able to help you!

[Typoopie]

Don't make more tutorials pls.

[asarce15]

The first 2:00 mins of chit chat seriously made me want to kill myself. Next time just get on with the lesson. Thanks

[hiawatha444]

Actually I notice your a good folk fingerpicker but your technique is a little wrong. Never pluck the same string with the same finger. That way you dont stumble on really difficult pieces. If you have to pluck the same string twice , use 2 different fingers.

[flammingcarrot]

@hiawatha444 oh ok. Just one question... which fingers are you talking about when I pluck a string twice with the same finger? ... is it when I pluck with my ring finger?

[demonkid657]

thanks very helpful. i was playing it wrong before, and your version is cool.

[kaptenjohn1]

YOu are too selfsure. . playing too fast and U suck. .

[crushboomerman]

yea its not called a tutorial if u dont tell us what chords to play u fuckin jew bagel. yea u play it very well but tell the fuckin chords u dumb ass. thats why its called a fuckin tutorial.

[flammingcarrot]

@crushboomerman wow someone is racist... you should read what's in the video... it's in your face or actually listen when I talk.

[takeout4]

@flammingcarrot if he was good enough to play the song he wouldnt need the chords in big letters infront of his face. flammingcarrot rules!

[Tomoyochan10]

naaaws you say sorry too much, its kay to make mistakes :D ur video's awesome!

[snowy0877]

thanx for slowin it down dude

[IEX0RCIST]

I FUCKIN LOVE YOU MAN!

[flammingcarrot]

Thanks?

[deenanner01]

dude dont ever post another video until you learn how to stop talking and show us what we are watching the video to find out!!! gah! and seriously...we cant see what fingers you are holding down!

[flammingcarrot]

urgh what's with kids and their short attention spans... You should maybe listen what I say. I ain't showing you the fretting fingers. This is shows you the fingerpicking pattern.

[Dr4g0nf4b3r]

muth words man

[TheHeCtOr1990]

no se man

pero sta chidos tus vidios

bueno nos bemos ok

bay

[flammingcarrot]

What? Sorry I don't speak Spanish or Portugese. I can't tell which language you are speaking.

[seba18a]

He say : " I dont know man, but this is a great video,see you later".

He was speaking Spanish, but with Mexican term.

Sorry about my english, i´m argentinian...Great tutorial, but i have some problems wuth the second fingerpiking :S

[aqualizard2991]

thanks for posting...it definately helped me learn but my only suggestion is that you let us know when let us know when you restart after you screw up it just a little confusing..other than that great tutorial..( sorry hope i didnt sound too critical)

[flammingcarrot]

Non whatsoever. Great suggestion :)

[RIProrygallagher]

Wrong

[DeepDarkBlue6]

What is wrong ?

[spamiam]

too much talking.

[J0NNO]

2.30 minutes talking? errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrg

[perduaparis]

you seem like a nice enough guy, but this lesson is simply irritating

[nelledawg]

Yeah would be nice if the dude didn't talk so much and showed you what frets are being held lol

[flammingcarrot]

true true I do talk a lot in my videos. I see you want to know the frets I am playing. I actually have another lesson that doesn't show the fingerpicking. This video is a complement to the other one. Check it out on my profile. Also the Myspace link in the description will show you the tab I wrote for this song. This should help you out.

[1098hippo]

dude. this thing waz XCELLENT. an doh wry. the talkin made it easier to learn. thnx.

[bingobingo121]

great, but what are the chords the other invisible hand are holding?

[flammingcarrot]

I think if you click the Myspace link in the description it would help you out. On my Myspace page I transcripted the tab for the song. Hope this helps out.

[TheReasonBeing3]

hey man it was a good lesson thanks i will tell my friends about you cos ur lessons rule!

[jammona]

fuckin beatles influenced every fuckin one on earth

[Shua4two0]

dude you're real good

i'm just tryin to fingerpick now im pretty good with everything else usin a pick or my hand lol

[flammingcarrot]

thx for the compliment and good stuff. Happy you're good at both flatpicking and fingerpicking :D

[weircali]

shut up and play you asshole  you are not funny

[jonmikal]

agreed. your attempt to humor me resulted in me stopping the video and making this comment. you should also get off your high-horse cause there's tons out there doing it much better.

[flammingcarrot]

Perhaps and you are most probably right. This video tutorial was requested by a subscriber.

[Patman9393]

this vid just tought mje how ti fingerpick (: thanx soo much! by the way what is the secod chord starting at 5:04? g major? great job

[flammingcarrot]

yup buddy! and no problem :)

[TheReasonBeing3]

i was listening to it and your third finger on the 1st e string comes off then you put the finger on the second string pluck the bass string the pluck the second then pluck the bass string and then take it off

[rascal2194]

Great Video, could you write down the picking pattern for me, as i have tried to watch the sequence but still can not get it!!!! its driving me up the wall i would love to play this and impress everyone with my talent??.

Cheers Steve

[flammingcarrot]

Well the tab is pretty straight foward. But basically strings E, A and D are played with the thumb. String G with the index, string B with the middle finger and string e with the ring finger. Hope this helps or else contact me :)

[ANewAccount43]

Last four seconds were the best!

Helpful but maybe someday you could upload a more to-the-point lesson for those of us without so much time, but I still loved your comedy! Just kind of a pain when I need to watch this over and over to get it right, simply cuz the jokes are funny the first time around only (cept for some)

[flammingcarrot]

well you can fast foward it to when i don't talk :)

[ANewAccount43]

troo dat g-unit!

[leoskuffielover]

hilarious!

but very helpfull, thank you!

by the way, pinkies are very helpful by picking your nose! don't chop them off!

[flammingcarrot]

ew...

[EddieBear631]

Wrong, and too fast...listen to the record...

[tinylittler0b0t]

this guy is well funny

[fretboarder]

good job very helpful!

[DRMexico]

please, whats going on with the other hand?

[flammingcarrot]

I suggest you at my profile and check the other tutorial for this song. It shows the fretting fingers.

[Jadesong]

Painfully slow, with your little jokes.

[Tjz93]

Will it sound normal without a capo?

[flammingcarrot]

yes. It will sound 7 tones lower unfortunately. But a capo is not that expensive. You can get an inexpensive one for 10$

[gamepenguin9]

and can u post tabs with out capo??? THANX!!!

[flammingcarrot]

well this song requires a capo... but you can still play the song without a capo you'll just sound 8 tones lower

[gamepenguin9]

is this with out the capo???

[flammingcarrot]

No this is with the capo

[IlBelPianista]

Thanks so much for putting this video up!! This is the first song that I am actually able to fingerpick!

[flammingcarrot]

hey no problem buddy!

[dhrsmoky]

d-g-e-b-e? in what order is the finger picking?

[flammingcarrot]

? I dont understand your question... If you'd refer to my tabs, i would better be able to help you out buddy.

[dhrsmoky]

the fingerpicking, how does the following goes, with letters, you know,

first i must touch the d than g, etc,

[Timp7503]

Thank you)))

I teach that song, olny at your video

[hereiamhere75]

1st of 6 videos??? sorry i´m out. maybe i´ll find another lesson or i just do it the old school way and put that beatles cd into the player to try it myself. i consider myself a lucky person to get free guitar lessons through that internet thing, but this time i just wanted to know how to play that song!

[flammingcarrot]

well yeah I can't teach you the song in 10 minutes... I like to be specific when I teach... anyways this a just a supplementary video for another lesson. Anyways... all of the 6 parts are free...

[hereiamhere75]

that´s true, that lessons are free. and that´s a good thing. if you believe it or not - i´ve learned that song in the meantime (i admit that i still have to practice a bit to keep it in mind). didn´take me longer than your videos last...i´m already busy learning the next song. i´m not sure, but i think your tutorial for that song is just too long. people, at least me, tend to lose attention very fast. keep it short.

[flammingcarrot]

you're probably right but people tend to have asked me a lot of questions after i've posted the tab ... so I figured... instead of answering each person, i would do a video. You're more than welcomed to just check out the tab though. It's pretty straight foward (the link is in the video description).

[SweetestStudios]

"i reccomend you dont chop ur little finger" wot a douche he's lucky no one cuts off his tongue the amount he talks

[soundman420]

you took the time to make this for the benefit of the community and some ungrateful bitches still talk shit! some dont even realize this is just a sub lesson to the actual lesson of the song! holy fuck some people are dumb. but hey, thanks for putting this up man dont mind the people that are too stupid to understand what you are doing for them. when they close that browser its their loss :)

[flammingcarrot]

That put a smile on my face :D. Good day to you my fellow canadian! Don't forget to vote today (October, 14th 2008)!

[redarmy1986]

Thanks for the lesson mate, ignore the morons going on about not showing the chords, all they have to do is get a tab and then play around until it sounds right.

[PurpleSandCastles]

stop talking and play!

[qntqnt]

fucking idiot,

stop talking so much

so annoying

im here to watch how to play

not listening to all ur shittalk

[Abc123xyzlaw]

Ironic. So ironic.

[flammingcarrot]

lol

[ArsEstAevum]

I'm well known for my patience. If you want to leisurely learn a song at a good brisk pace, this is not the video for you.

This idiot takes an entire minute to tell you that you will be using 4 fingers for the song. He does not start teaching you anything until 3:00 minutes in. And by that time, you realize that the camera is placed in such a way, that you can't even see the chords he's using.

Terrible teacher, annoying voice, ignorant and boastful demeanor, terrible camera angle.

Nuf said.

[flammingcarrot]

hmmm maybe you should take a look at my non fingerpicking video then and comment on that one

[JonnyCosMo]

I can't listen to this idiot, he talks too much

[masterdjghost]

dude less talk for teaching seriously

[karaokemaschine]

which one was the ring finger?

can anybody help?

[flammingcarrot]

Look at you left hand. Palm facing you. 1rst from left is your thumb. Then there's your index, then there's your major (big finger, f*** you finger), and then there's the ring finger and lastly your pinky. Hope this helps

[chazwalter]

boastful*

[chazwalter]

dude me helpful not beastful

[fireblood90]

he could have done this much faster without being a complete idiot...what a moron...

[tattyloks]

Thanks for posting this tutorial, I have just started to learn to play the guitar 3 weeks ago, simply love this song and I'm going to give it a bash!!

[ronwagen]

Chords? please? pleeeeeeease?!!! :-)

[ronwagen]

oh, i found them thanks

[bakfiets32]

Haha fun vid.

[reannalovesA]

fuck tell me the cords and when to switch. i suck at this song

[stardustandbeyond]

Thanks so much for this tutorial, it really helped. I only wish you could state when you're changing chords or something. It took me ages to figure out you had to take your middle finger off of the E string at one point, haha. Anyway, great tutorial. I think with your help I can start to play this one.

[flammingcarrot]

Check my other tutorial, the one that doesn't focus on the fingerpicking :)

[htoomer85]

dude your myspace isnt coming up...

[flammingcarrot]

Check my profile there's the link there

[beatlesibia]

do you have a tab for this?

if so, share it with us plz

[flammingcarrot]

yes, check the video's description. The link is there. Click "more" in the description.

[luke2963]

Trés bien! I'll keep trying. Thanks for your help.

[kcolat]

mad skills. D:

nice rambling tuturial. ;]

[flammingcarrot]

thx

[MusicLVR412]

u do talk alot.....and for the tutorial u go to fast

[Stitches4301]

Do you like the sound of your own voice? Thanks for the tutorial, but GET ON IT WITH IT ALREADY!

[flammingcarrot]

Nah not really... like most people. lol. But I do like giving thorough instructions when I am teaching someone something.

[mataresex]

holy jesus get to the point.

[flammingcarrot]

patience is the father of all virtue young grasshopper. ;P ... but yeah i am gregarious. I'll take note of that in future tutorials :)

[ChangeIgnorance]

could you send me the tabs for this one.. the finger picking lesson is very helpful. but i don't know where to place my fingers along the neck..

[flammingcarrot]

Click on "more" in the "About This Video", you'll see a link to my MySpace blog.

[htjmartin]

thanks for your lesson, but some other tabs indicate that it plays the whole chord at same time, like for example, the D chord, for the intro, it starts with playing the whole chord, i dont know if that could be accurate or would sound the same way..

[flammingcarrot]

well the original song is a strummed song. I just wanted to give it a chimy fingerpicking twist to this beautiful song. So basically this is my version/cover of this song. The strumming of the D chord is the more accurate one if you want to play it like George Harrison... so if you do... following my tutorials would be pointless :p LOL

[heffalump234]

mm finger in ear.. delicious

[flammingcarrot]

ew... lol

[but28]

cuold you tell whay accord is in the tirth room? sorry for bad english I'm mexican

[flammingcarrot]

oh boy i would love to help you out... but I really don't understand what you are saying... but basically the chords (accords) are variations of D, G & A

[ryanrod22]

Thanks a lot the video and tab really helps. One problem: the last four finger picks in the the video do not match the tab(the tab is D, G, A, G and you play it A, G, D, G) which is right?

[flammingcarrot]

oh wow! good observation! it's like how I play it! I don't tab good. It's tough for me to transcribe things and break down note for note what i play :P But i'm-ma tryin

[ryanrod22]

no problem thanks a lot. i really appreciate the videos and the tabs. keep up the good work

[flammingcarrot]

thanks. I will! You whould film yourself playing!

[Nuijt]

What do you mean by capo at the 7th fret? You're mostly using 2nd and 3rd fret in this song (i just started playing guitar)

[flammingcarrot]

Well a capo is a tool that we use for the guitar. Using it renders certain chord progressions easier. In a way it changes the ker of your guitar.

Normal tuning is EADGBe (E = Fatest string ; e = Slimmest string). So using the capo at the 7th fret... the strings that you play open (meaning you don't put any finger on the string) are going to be BEADF#b. :)

[flammingcarrot]

If you look at my tab, all fret numbers are relative to the capo at the 7th fret. So although I wrote 2nd or 3rd they are actually 9th or 10th respectively. I'm thinking you haven't watch the non-fingerpicking tutorial. In that one I give a frontal view of the guitar. You'll be better able to see what my left hand does ;)

Hope this helped, and ask me some more question if you need any more help!

[Nuijt]

Thanks!

[lowcash000]

talk to the hand^^

[flammingcarrot]

You talk to the hand... lol :P

[Sarah7661]

ah stressing me out.

i got the first part but AHH!

help me please?

[flammingcarrot]

sure I'll help... I'd like to know on what though...

[Sarah7661]

well i dont know.

i think i understand.

[flammingcarrot]

oh ok :)

[newschatter]

the first riff is also played with double picking the highest 2 strings E and B instead of E and D strings.. am i right??

[flammingcarrot]

oh wait you wrote on the other video... and i referred you to this one lol.

I'm not sure what you are asking... but the thumb picks the D string and ring finger picks the e string at the same time for the first riff. I hope this helps, if not... explain it to me differently :)

[bladtcoomadness]

Lol this guy is freaking hilarious love it

[okdig]

thank you

[okdig]

wheres the tab

[flammingcarrot]

click on "more" in the "about this video" section. you'll see the link

[mattralston123]

this is great, just what I needed, thankyou! also, thanks for providing the TAB, very handy and something most don't bother with

[Comedian101]

lmfao i like the pinky finger speech.

[123467801]

but you didn't show what finger goes on what fret

[flammingcarrot]

Check my tabs in my Myspace page, the link is in the video description ;) ... the "(more)" thinger...

[brownsugarcane09]

hey guy ! fantastic what you can do, but about your "frenc accent" I'm actually french, and for the 100th time i try to understand what you say but i don't understand ! Mais en tout cas tu es vraiment super drôle !!

[flammingcarrot]

non mais je niaisais. Je suis quebecois, donc je parle du tres bon francais... mais avec un accent quebecois haha

[brownsugarcane09]

haha je n'y ai vu que du feu c'est fou, donc puisque tu parle un parfait français comme moi et que moi je comprends rien à ta video tu pourrai me refaire la même version french ?? non je rigole t'inquiete pas an tout cas, je te dis bravo quand même, et je trouve quand même l'accent quebecois marrant ^^

[flammingcarrot]

oh wow, pour un moment tu m'as fait peur... c long faire une serie de videos... mais tu peux kan meme voir le mouvement de mes doigts assez bien non?

[brownsugarcane09]

Hum, à vrai dire pas vraiment, je vois juste les cordes que tu joues. Mias c'est pas grave c'est juste merveilleux de te regarder et de t'entendre jouer. Ca fait longtemps que tu joues ? et tu sais, plus je regardes ta video plus j'ai envie de t'entendre parler français. En plus c'est tellement sexy un mec qui joues si bien de la guitare !

[flammingcarrot]

Mmm ouais YouTube ne diffuse pas les vidéos dans une bonne qualité ... mais enfin on fait ce qu'on peut! Mais tu peux quand même suivre mes vidéos si tu veux... dans la description du vidéo il y a un lien internet qui te guide à mon compte MySpace où se trouve la partition de la chanson en format TAB.

Pour répondre à ta question, ça fait environ 3 ans que je joue à la guitare. J'ai appris tout seul. Et merci pour le compliment. À vrai dire, joues-tu à la guitare?

[heartragedy]

ah you make it look so easy...

but man your a funny guy!!!

[nodieusa]

you're the man!!!

you inspired me several times, with your "wish you were here" and "here comes the sun"

i'll post my version of here comes the sun (or at least the beginning) and show my mentor (you) how I do

[singurhrtoutx33]

OMG. You're the best! Thank You!
