[flyazn91]

lol, you said that you're going to "finger it" hahah

[TalonDeLoup]

This is awesome Mr. D!

I recently purchased a Taylor 314 and have been learning to play. I played a little in college on a wide-neck nylon string but have been struggling a bit moving over to the narrower neck and steel string. I've largely been self-taught, so I was able to pick up a lot of great pointers from your video.

Please....keep them coming!! ~T

[helenmatulac]

i like the video quality.. ((:

[wackyfours]

hey i got a question. im a beginner. n i know what a hammer-on is but how do u make a hammer-on backwards. for example, regular hammer on is 7h9, but how would u do 9h7? do u have any tips on how to make it sound just right?

[ooaimoo]

@wackyfours

that would be a called a pull-off. you can either pull off ur finger quickly or pull it down so that as you pull off the string you also pluck it at the same time. i don't know if i described it well enough sorry haha.

[wackyfours]

yea i got it. i just got confused cuz the tap said 9h7, and it didn't have the p for a pull off, so i didn't really know how to play that movement.

[aannddyy779911]

@wackyfours

thats a pull of...for example you have the first first finger in the 7, the second on the 9...so you pull of your second one.

it's like this in the chords 9p7

[LeatherFaceGamer]

you pull of, what i mean by that is hold both notes and let go of the 9 when ur doen playing it. so hold down the 9 and 7 , after you hit the 9 just pull off the 9 and hold the 7

[EmoGaaraOfTheSand]

its called a pull-off were its the same thing but going to the pr-eves note

So instead of 9h7 its 9p7

[supermartinareback]

I want to play this song in the music in my school, but It is VERY difficult... can you make a better movie about the chords?

[fushki99]

i didn't understand that much. step by step please. you should zoom in>XD zoom innn.lol

Thanks Ashlyng100!!! I appreciate the kind words.

[jdiwjdiwjdiawjdijidj]

:)cheers!

[gidgetluckey]

you retard you explain everything horrible and you talk to much, you retard there is no way i am gonn abe able to learn this song with this YOU SUCK!!!!

[DereksGuitarLessons]

Thanks Gidgetlucky! If you have any questions for me about this song or any other musical question, I would love to help you out. I do have a Bachelor's Degree in classical guitar/music ed. minor, received several scholarships for music performance, have toured with Grammy Award winning artists, and have taught professionally for 4 years.

Cheers!!!!

[LuisC1495]

i love your lesson its really cool thnx

[FriendofUKF]

Derek, you are so pro. You should make more videos! I've been trying to play this song for a few months and now I know how to do it! Thx so much!

[giantminisquirrel]

@DereksGuitarLessons lol first off great vid. second nice hair :) third you pwned the fuck outta Gidgetlucky lmao loved it xD

[FriendofUKF]

Just because you can't understand a single word he is saying doesn't mean we don't understand. I am a newbie; someone who didn't play for a year yet, and I understand him really well. So you can shut up. This guy is pro.

[Cryoschaos]

@gidgetluckey Considering your grammar..no wonder why you can't understand what he's saying, and there's no wonder why you'll never be able to learn this song, you retard.

[nicksamazing15]

@Cryoschaos

relax

[nicksamazing15]

[EcoFriendlyNukes]

@gidgetluckey lol you got owned... Anyways, thanks Derek!! :D You really helped me with this song (which is also the first song ive ever learned on guitar...)
