[moberod]

Thanks. It's already been pointed out to me. I'll delete and refilm the video just for you.

[cstubing]

Do it for all the monkeys you're misinforming.

[started169]

you are very nice on the guitar

[aprilangel94]

confusing as crap. sorry dude

[moberod]

No apologies necessary. It was my first attempt at a tutorial. I guess it was geared more towards people really familiar with chords and melody.

[Marvin16x]

[abarthman73]

Good player but that was just confusing sorry.

[ilikemunkis]

seriously i mean i can dig that you tried but uhh still stick to the original its good

[carlosz882]

U DONT NEED THE CAPO

[moberod]

If you want to play it in the original key, you do!!! Arrogant, bastard.... lol (kidding)

[bonestorm99]

Dammit, I need a capo to play it!

[BlackMDragon97]

you know some parts are palm muted

[moberod]

Not in the original acoustic version... maybe in the original, yes....

[lerbagge]

Could you pleease do one the smiths cover maybe handsome devil?

[Topazmoon]

its actually in a drop D

[moberod]

Yeah, but did you notice that this is a different arrangement, and some of the chord substitution I used would not be possible using drop D. It wouldn't fit with the different style.

[monikamyszor]

your voice sounds sexy lol :D

[GregKirkpatrick360]

Hey, I don't want to be added to the jackass list! Far from it, you've done an awesome job with this arrangement. I was just confused at first with your tab because sometimes I see it where the notes are posted relative to the capo. So when I saw "5" on the B string, I was playing the wrong note.  I see now that you mean that "5" is "2"; and now that I'm not so confused, I think I've got it squared away!

[moberod]

Yeah... sorry about that. I don't think I did it quite right. That's why I don't usually tab out my arrangements. I know them, and remember them. I never learn to play songs from tabs. They confuse me, so when I WRITE one, I confuse others... lol....

[strangleynormal]

Out of interest mate, what size plectrum are you using?

[moberod]

.60 mm Jim Dunlop

[strangleynormal]

Thought so, that's what i'd been using too.

Another question, man... do you mute both the Low E and the A string with your thumb? I simply can't master it that way, my hand won't wrap round enough! I've actually been muting those two strings with chewing gum just so it sounds absolutely right, lol. Probably not the best long-term method...

Take it as a compliment though. The lengths i'll go to in order to master your brilliant arrangement.

[moberod]

Chewing gum...? Really? Hope you don't have an expensive guitar...

[strangleynormal]

Lol, as i said... probably not the most sensible long-term method as it is a fine guitar; better than the player. I did it once in fairness just to see if it sounded any better but yes - feel a tad embarrassed now.

Second thoughts, having watched the vid again - you're only muting the Low E string. The tabs you provided threw me a bit. I ought to go to bed.

[awptions]

Your voice sounds unique, extremely unique.. where are you from?

[moberod]

Rocky Mount, North Carolina

I have a southern accent that I attempt to disguise. That may be what you hear, but I'm curious to hear more about what you said...

[awptions]

I don't know if its gay or anything saying this as I'm a guy... but I like your voice/accent. It's just.. something that I don't think I've ever heard, I wish I had it.. its extremely unique.. I asked my girlfriend if she liked it, and she said yeah she does.

[moberod]

I don't take it as gay, but thanks for clarifying! LOL! And thanks, I appreciate the comment.

[seanamon]

Is an A Suspended...not "sustained". But good video, I'm sure many people appreciate it

[moberod]

Thank you for correcting me on that... I actually looked it up because I didn't believe you at first, but you're 100% right, and I've been calling it the wrong chord for my whole life! Seriously, thank you. It's not often I meet someone who knows what they're talking about and is not a jackass about it.

[citynamedaustin]

ths guy's legit.

[redeagle123456]

Holy crap can you hear the acoustics of his guitar? even in this low of a quality video (no offense) it's amazing. you can her like this ambient resonance. its crazy.

[moberod]

No offense taken! I shot the video with a digital camera (not camcorder). I love my guitar! It rules.

Thanks for the kind words.

[MAGiiCSTiiCK]

nice but i wish you tabbed it relative to the capo. i got confused for a second when i looked at the tabs
