the mute strum

[BasketofLotion]

I still don't get it..how do you strum that fast up and down and keep your hand planted to the bridge

[iLoseTechnology]

you make it look so easy!!!!!

[bornagain2day]

or something like that.

[bornagain2day]

for some reason the chords that you were playing reminded me a song I play: God of wonders by Third day. O_O

[bornagain2day]

I am trying to learn the song Our God's alive by Andy Cherry, (great song, you should listen to it) and was hoping there would be a video like this :DD thanks!

[winks478]

totally awesome would be nice to see the chords you are using. Nice guitar!

[sonbah]

beautiful rhythm!

[evgheniiCP]

can anybody tell me a strumming pattern he says it too fast

[TheBrokenSolstice]

"So now that we have that, we're gonna.. .yeah.... and try not to.. you know... And there's your basic, you know, muting, so now we're gonna... yeah. So keep that pattern, tho, and.. there... what that'll do is give you a good strength to your song if you... you know. .....Then you go back into it..."

"There you go."

In what world does this teach anything..? TT_TT I would love to be able to do this, but there's no lessoning at all...

[6Satu9]

I CANNOT DO THIS.

NO.

I CAN'T GIVE UP.

Why am I commenting- GET BACK TO IT.

Wait. Thanks for the video, it really helps. :D

[iCHUWxx]

today was a fairytale chords hahaha :D thanks for all the help!

[EmilyluzAdam]

Oh my god. Wow oh wow. That was incredibly beautiful, what composition is that!? I'm in love with it! Soooo beautiful

[mattyonamac]

Not the kind of video I was looking for but glad I can across it, that's some great guitar playing dude! Like it!

[NikiRyRyRyderx26]

you're too good

[bllackangelll]

Can you do this with a electric guitar? Caude with me it doesn't make a sound if I try this.

[deflepphartme]

it sounds like you're playing "Today was a Fairytale" by taylor swift

[FearlessRLC96]

@deflepphartme I thought that too

[NikiRyRyRyderx26]

@deflepphartme That's what I thought, too

[agentgates]

According to the author of the video in another lesson the song is Among Thorns - Start a fire. I think this one: watch?v=G8rgC5rUFnA&NR=1 on youtube.

[jkalisz008]

what song is that?

[breakdown4steph]

thanks for posting this, its great, i was trying to understand what i was doing wrong and your vid helped ;)

[SupaFlyHuy]

You are too cool lol.

Great lesson.

[teoalivanoglou]

what cords are you playing? that sounds good!!

[flyfangirl]

Yes please, will you show the LEFT HAND PART? i know ur supposed to hold the chords, but not tight... i'm having trouble

[azianbanana]

@flyfangirl you want to press down on the strings hard and if it hurts ull get really use to it

[kumarramesh46]

Awesome.. Can you please show the chords u are strumming ? It sounds great. Please post a left hand video tutorial . thanks in advance...

[Vladistoteles]

hi!!!! its sound soooo cool. i wanna learn it, but i dont really understand the pattern/rhytm. can u write it down, like DUUDUU... or privat or something like, i tried to play it, but its sound different. thanks!

[lfsmwilliamson]

my frekin high e string keeps ringing out and i have no idea how to fix this is there any way someone can shed some light b/c i'm getting frustrated as hell

[SupaFlyHuy]

@lfsmwilliamson You probably already fixed this problem but I'm going to say it anyways. When you strum you don't have to strum all 6 strings, you can skip some, like the 6th string or first.

[tools747]

lol sounds good, im going to use those chords rearrange the strum pattern write a song and it's going to sound beautiful, then i'll throw vocals over top and your ears might bleed... =)

[RobTrain09]

that sounds really funky, gonna learn it right away, cheers. 5*

[itsnikhilrao]

Awesome mate

[xuLiOxS]

[tearsofsolomon]

[xuLiOxS]

[y8yap]

[Turkey47217]

[Yoroichi19]

[loverock1983]

[Fairdrain]

What tuning is it ?

Guess my guitar isn't out of tune but it doesn't sound like your version.

[kiiaz]

u got some weird tunning on ur guitar cuz G chord dont sound like that..

[EmilyluzAdam]

You're such a good guitar player.. you make it look so easy!!

Added to favourites and rated 5 stars because I love this video. :)

[davejamslove]

Great video, but if you're playing in the key of G then your guitar is out of tune. Makes it hard to play along and figure out what you're doing.

[Wuchti5500]

Nice Video. But what's the name of the song you are playing?

[syazwankhan]

yea the songs nice...whats the song you're playing?

[tearsofsolomon]

G-D-Em-C

[CrohnZero]

1:17-1:25, wow...

[funfest101]

sounds like free fallin to me

[AwesomeSee]

Sounds nice. ^^

[rickstick19]

Sounds like John Mayer - Break Away, but that might be just because I was looking for this vid to learn the technique that John uses in that song and I have it in my head. Anyway it's a great song, well tabbed (google you lazy bastards) and it uses this technique :)

[valavenger]

awesome tune! and played perfectly! is this from a song? can you give us the tabs ? =)

[rune2hko]

oo cool =)

[elenalol]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[VVMatrixVV]

woah cool man thx for the upload! Cool tune too!

[holliegyrl]

are you playing 'holy grail' by hunters and collectors?

because it sounds really good, if it is.

(:

[Ejaezy]

I like the little extra notes that you added during the strumming for the last 4 seconds. How did you learn to do that?

[CassiusPlaymore]

show the other hand please

[tearsofsolomon]

G-C-Em-D(F# bass optional)

[MrGameface]

I think if you check out his "E forms" vid it has these chords.

[MrGameface]

is that God of Wonders?

[MrGameface]
