How to play Simple and Clean (Kingdom Hearts)

[Schaaf5465]

The tuning is d standard (one whole step down) and the C chord would actually be a Bb not a B. srry for trollin

[Lpm1k3]

what is the tuning for the acoustic?

[javitheblackman]

U look like alex j simpson

[JoshA7fold]

Dude your fuckin halarious Haha And thanks for this, i cant wait to get this song down. Song brings back some fond memories and my girlfriend and i have been reminiscing our childhood because of this song. Thanks!

[rockskaterdudeperson]

It won't let me open the guitar pro version :(

[EdgarCastilloTV]

Does ur guitar have to be tuned in a certain way for the acustic part

[FamilyJules7X]

@EdgarCastilloTV D Standard. All strings tuned down one full step.

[rockskaterdudeperson]

hahaha "complicated and dirty"

[stillgotthebluess]

wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooow, auuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh yeaaaah, you're my fucking god, thank you men, you're a fucking genius!! :3

[vikiwozeya]

You are my God.

[silencedblade]

why the hell do stupid cat videos and dumb bimbos with an iffy voice always beat tremendous musicians like this?

[lunne14]

so jules...when are you gonna do more tutorials? ;) i would love to see more GP files. i know it takes some time to do one and that you have nearly 100 vids but couldn't you do a similar voting video were you ask people which songs they want to learn! :D

[blakeroxashunter]

hey can you play dearly beloved? from kingdom hearts chain of memories

[FamilyJules7X]

@elpaleteroman333 Drop C I believe.

[darktyranus1]

[darktyranus1]

@FamilyJules7x i love this son, absolutely love it, i've already learnt nearly all the chorus to speed, and i love how you made it simple to learn, not stupidly jumbled like every other vid

[glitchygames]

Hey man, this is awesome. Got any tips on amp settings? I'd love to get that same tone you have in the video. Thanks!

[FamilyJules7X]

@glitchygames Check out my Tones guide video! :)

[glitchygames]

@FamilyJules7X Sweet, sounds like a plan! Thanks for replying so quickly! ^.^

[Kkyyrruu]

This was very nice of you to do. I don't play guitar and understood none of the numbers above on the music sheet lol. But this was nice of you to do for the people wwho do play.

[Merma1dg1rl]

Ur cute, can u sing alone next time

[ilfcl]

[ilfcl]

i only have an acoustic :L

[GoulartKnight]

[SyKo8861]

Nice vid but just saying it dosent help going slower with your hands shaking to make the sound of the note. I just had to rely on the note that are written up lol

[themadcro]

[djgossen1]

[TheVdog12]

[MrVortex1994]

[FamilyJules7X]

@MrVortex1994 As long as there's credit, of course! :)

[TheMusicalException]

Actually, technically it's Bb Minor :P

[TheNeonbuffalo]

SUBED!!!!! LOL nice im trying to learn the electric riff on my acoustic =D cuz hard i dont have a cut but im doing ok i think

[Napalmspike]

@TheNeonbuffalo does it sound alrite on your acoustic cuz the electric parts come out soundin a bit off when i try to play it acoustically especially at the higher notes

[ChrisJohnMathews]

Hey jules i just wanted to thank you on doing a tutorial like this, you really treat your fans great. Just to let you know we all greatly appreciate your dedication :)

[aaronsheepyam]

you...are... TRULY PRO AT THIS >:D

[piinutbitter]

sad...4 ppls dont know kingdom hearts..what a nabs

[123456iambelial]

Is there an alternative for GuitarPro for Mac?

I am going to practice to play guitar again just for this song. I have never played the game, but the Simple and Clean is just awesome.

Great job man. How long have you been playing guitar?

[FamilyJules7X]

@123456iambelial You can use GuitarPro on the Mac too I believe. And I've been playing guitar for almost 6 years now.

[ShittyMcPoopyBalls]

@123456iambelial you should just download Tux Guitar ( I sound like I'm spamming), but I use it on my mac and it works fantastic and it's free :)

[Dragoon51585]

quick question... whats the tuning? either my guitar is insanely out of tune or its in a different key... :P

[FamilyJules7X]

@Dragoon51585 Drop C for the electric guitars.

[Dragoon51585]

@FamilyJules7X thanks!

[vlopez46]

jesus christ this is hard..

[mrrobloxia101]

Awsum! When I learn to play electric gutar I will try this! thanx

[MrSlaynn]

Thank you for the GP and Backing track dude, keep up the un-consensual sex you induce on your guitar on a daily basis. And always use a condom....cause your guitar playing gave me an ATD(Awesomely Transmitted Disease)

[edwinol93]

yo do you have the tabs version of that song??

[VanTX89]

I don't know if you've addressed this issue before but the one complaint I have with this tutorial is that your instructions are pretty low compared to the music. When I turn it up to hear you I get blasted when it goes to the demonstration.

I have headphones with separate adjustable volume so it's cool. Just putting that out there if you haven't already noticed.

[Conroyjones9]

Woooooooooooooooooooo Nuff said =|

[sonny12100]

so i can play the same on the acoustic :D rite?

[emoboi425]

right after the pinch harmonic w/ vibrato at 6:20 the tabs get kinda hard to read :/ btw great video

[SwitchedProjex]

you say half of the chorus is cut off, then you say only one note changes? wtf jules xD

[11ThreeDaysGrace11]

@FamilyJules7X im kinda new to guitar so can you please explain that to me? lol sorry

[chodemaster10]

what brands of strings do you use for your elec, and your acou?



[FamilyJules7X]

@chodemaster10 Ernie Ball on the electric and Elixers on the acoustic.

[chodemaster10]

@FamilyJules7X I used to have some E.B. Slinkys... and Ihave an old Johnson acoustic, and a B.C.Rich Warlock... I can't even remember what strings are on that, but my John has Martin strings... where can I find a good cheap pair of Elixers? 

[FamilyJules7X]

@chodemaster10 I haven't found any 'deals' on Elixers so I usually just pay full price. :\

[chodemaster10]

@FamilyJules7X So if I went to a music store, how much are the Elixers normaly set at?

[BlurredPlectrums]

@FamilyJules7X What gauge Ernie Balls? :)

[FamilyJules7X]

@BlurredPlectrums 11 - 52

[BlurredPlectrums]

@FamilyJules7X Ah, thank you. :)

[11ThreeDaysGrace11]

O.O .... GOTTA LEARN THIS!!!! xD

[Fox196196]

can you please just do the tabs since I'm not gona buy guitar pro and the PDF is way to long.

[Fuzzehbunneh]

20th tab? D: Only the electric in my house can handle it XD

[OttotheOtter97]

Hey, your trying to quit smoking? Way to go man!! It's hard but I bet you can do it :) Good luck ;)

[emoboi425]

very cool, i really wanted to learn this so thanks! :D

[pieloverx]

Is there like a printable tab sheet?

[lereker1231]

hey man nice nd how da hell did u come up with this???

[FamilyJules7X]

@lereker1231 Well, it helped that it was already written for me. :)

[chrisladd1992]

the 1 person who dislikes this is a wanker..

[Andr3wdar34p3r1]

THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO!! probably would not have been able to do this without your help.

[DavidPeterson726]

Thanks for posting this video, its amazing. I subed btw

[NinjaCat22]

You are so amazing. Love what you do!

[fred1337able2]

this wants me to get a new speaker

[pyscobrand]

does the sheet music include when when your suppose to use vibratos and hammer ons, and pull offs? I don't know how to read sheet music fully but i'm pretty sure they are not listed. Maybe i'm missing something, but i would like some clarification or i could watch your video several times to know when i'm suppose to use the bends and things.

[FamilyJules7X]

@pyscobrand It should have them, but it doesn't really matter. You should make it your own, man! :)

[pyscobrand]

@FamilyJules7X I've only been playing for 3 months, but i practice over 7 hours everyday. I may have progressed quickly for a 15 year old, but i lack that musical ear to put the notes together to make it my own, but hell i'll try. Thanks for the response.

[wolfgoda12]

i've noticed that if you play it clean it sound almost as good in standard tuning drop C isn't totally necessary

[JesusFriend13]

Hey can you please post an acoustic version of the hole song?

[AndrewSynysterMendez]

Dude thats just amazing! I know you listed all the equipment you use...but can you tell me how i can get a similar sound on my amp? Its a Peavey Vyper 150 watts. Any suggestions???

[FamilyJules7X]

@AndrewSynysterMendez All amps are different, I found that people are used to a guitar sound with lots of treble and no mids, make sure you have that reversed and don't put your drive at 100%, shoot for 50%-70%. That will clean up your tone. Hope that helps :)

[TheBubba92]

Now I wanna listen to the damn song, good thing it's youtube

[Ilove11Paramore]

But it is a great vid !!!!! :D

[Ilove11Paramore]

I cant read the tab for the solo hahaha its really small :P

[FamilyJules7X]

@126rockman I got mine at Guitar Center. :)

[hivoltagerkr]

yo wat tuning were you in?

[FamilyJules7X]

@hivoltagerkr The electric guitar is in Drop C, but Acoustic is in Standard one step down.

[SoraDrive]

Subbed!

[CheckeredRenegade]

Dude, are you in standard tuning? That tab you gave doesn't match with standard tuning.

[FamilyJules7X]

@CheckeredRenegade I'm pretty sure I wasn't in standard tuning for this.

[CheckeredRenegade]

@FamilyJules7X I just checked it,the tab is actually a whole step up then what it is supposed to be.

[Armandofire7]

Thanks for this tutorial. I have always love this song and game thanks again. Keep rocking.

[yagashikenshi]

o yeah great tutorial thanks man 

[AkrossAgain]

[GotitMemorizedLee]

[FamilyJules7X]

@GotitMemorizedLee The electric guitar is in Drop C, but Acoustic is in Standard one step down.

[GotitMemorizedLee]

this tutorial is sick as hell, and all the work you did...man...I'm speach less :$

good work there...hope one day be able to do as you did =)

[qwertsb1]

Hey as I could see u have a few guitars around in ur room.... and I was wondering if u knew what kinda guitar mine was.. A cheap or pretty expensive one.... I have a crate.. (and yes I'm a beginner) and this vid helped me!!! Awsome thanks!!! Keep going at it!!! (I like your guitar it's also awesome!!!!)

[718whisper]

what tuning are u playing in?

[FamilyJules7X]

@718whisper Pretty sure I'm in Drop C. :)

[SuperRainbowRain]

atreyu shirt :D

[pasnew17]

I have to say, Simple and Clean sounds pretty damn awesome played by an electric guitar (you know, not to say that all songs usually sound good on the EG ;) )

[TheRockStarEnergy1]

I still cant find a nice epic sound when playing. Is it to do with the guitar maybe? My guitar should be fine i would think though, sorry i dont know what type it is.

[TheRockStarEnergy1]

That line 6 pod x3 is pretty expensive, do you know a real amp i could use that can make sounds like that? I just dont understand why my sound is nothing like yours or any other video that i watch, its really pissing me off mate. So could you give me some ideas on how to make the amazingly epic sounds like at 2:14 to 2:20, infact the entire song you play is amazingly perfect, and id just love to be able to play like you. Please help me out mate

[FamilyJules7X]

@TheRockStarEnergy1 Since you don't use a Pod X3, I'm not sure how much help I can be. I'd recommend playing with your EQ settings. Don't put your stuff all at 100%. Only put half mids and 3 quarters treble and a little bit of bass. Don't turn your drive all the way up to 100 either. Work on finding a good balanced tone that you like using your amp settings. :)

[TheRockStarEnergy1]

how do i make my amp sound like that? Ive got a line 6 amp please tell me how i should set it up, i just love that epic japanese type sound the guitar makes on those high sounds. Please help me out, cause mine sound nothing like it

[FamilyJules7X]

@TheRockStarEnergy1 I actually don't use an amp to do these videos. I use a line 6 Pod X3 which plugs directly into my computer.

[skill101able]

you are awsome dude

[rolle72393]

thanks again ur aswome!

[rolle72393]

thanks bro lol so u know like any begginer songs cuz i have no teacher and i dont know any notes all i have is utube tutorials or hints and tips

[FamilyJules7X]

@rolle72393 Look up some tabs on Ultimate-Guitar. They've got a ton of tabs to songs to learn. :)

[rolle72393]

hey ummm what do i open it as?

[FamilyJules7X]

@rolle72393 Open the GP5 file as a Guitar Pro file if you have the program. The PDF as an adobe acrobat file.

[Cr0w20]

Amazing video man ;)

and thanks for the GP file :D

[MrWolfman91]

[killerking4832]

[GlowingSnolarx]

@GlowingSnolarx

*practicing

[crazytaggers]

hey jules you think you could make a video on how to play Lasso by pheonix?

[dacmister]

uhh

for me, the tabs are a whole step higher than standard tuning...

it just me or am i right???

[FamilyJules7X]

@dacmister Hm. The tabs should have the guitars in Drop C Tuning. Make sure everything looks right. If it is a problem with the tab then send me a message. :)

[kquinn59]

Hey Jules really Great Job! I am a pro keyboard player who writes out everything he hears. Very good job man. The accuracy is pristine and your performance warm and enjoyable! Super Super Job..thanks for all your hard work and i'll look for you in the pro arena. All the Best Kevin Quinn

[TheScreamoKid1]

You're like a beyond awesome guitarist. I still have trouble of single picking, but this might help that.

[TheLafaflafa]

All your videos are amazing.. but i really want to learn this song but tabs wont open i might be wrong just check please

[FamilyJules7X]

@TheLafaflafa Hm, I'm not having trouble opening it. Give and another try and let me know. :)

[TheLafaflafa]

@FamilyJules7X Ha.. found out what i was doing wrong, opening file with wrong application i got it now. keep it going with your great videos :)

[KuroBaro]

the tab won't open, i don't know why it wont open

[FamilyJules7X]

@KuroBaro Hm, which one?

[WhiteFangOfTheLeaf]

man i have to buy guitar pro just to see the bass tabs DAMN

[chidori411]

would you be able to send me the bass tabs I'm trying to learn all the parts for my band we really love your cover its really one of the best I have heard Thanks again for reading

[FamilyJules7X]

@chidori411 The bass is in the Guitar Pro file dude! :)

[seanNnoa]

I don't see how this video only has around 2,000 views. This is probably the best tutorial on YouTube.

[taylorbarnes4390]

Awesome vid. The tabs you have onscreen kinda confuse me though.

[animefreak6667]

hey mate you know me ^-^ but im looking at other tabs .....and their confusing me

[Skaterboy1028]

tabs pls

[FamilyJules7X]

@Skaterboy1028 Tabs are in the description, man! :)

[mrsonofsparda11]

hey mate! good job! you should upload the gp file at ultimate-guitar website cause I haven't found the rock version anywhere except from your link.. thanx so much

[Nikkoo1985]

your room rocks!

[NeeDlez99]

is it standared tune?

[FamilyJules7X]

@NeeDlez99 No, Drop C.

[yoshiroks777]

Your videos are so damn entertaining! I just watched this entire thing, and I DON'T EVEN PLAY GUITAR!

[RyanLafford]

quitting smokeing? good job jules :DD, how far along are you?

[OMGerBer]

Good tutorial as usual. One thing though. If you're in full-step, a C chord shape becomes a Bb/A# not a B. You explained everything right except for what the note name becomes, so people with more theory knowledge might get confused.

[FamilyJules7X]

@OMGerBer Thanks dude, yeah I meant to like put annotations over my mouth at that part but the tabs say what it really was so I guess people should see what it is. I was too tired while recording this to remember the half-step between B and C so I feel like an idiot. :(

[XiamwatchingyouX]

Excellent video as always, good sir! And this tutorial on how to play it makes it that much better! :)

I don't think you get enough views on these videos as much as you should...although, that DOES make it easier to put out videos with less stress than if you had say....9000 Subscribers. Meh, you be the judged.

Anyways, as I've sent you before, I leave you with the symbol that represents just how metal your videos are:

\mmmmmmmmmm/ (Too much metal for one hand)

Keep on rockin'!!! :)

[knockemdead8]

Thank you thank you thank you!!! I will do my best to record and upload a full cover (audio only) of this over my Thanksgiving break! one thing...anyway i can get the drum track? haha

[jmannunez]

Why is the PDF the same link as the Guitar pro? and i click the pdf and it downloads the guitar pro. haha enough sarcasm! just letting you know!

[FamilyJules7X]

@jmannunez Oops, sry, should be good now. :)

[Spliffor]

I got a request can you please do Live and learn by Crush 40 from sonic adventures 2 its really good check it out if you haven't allready.

[FamilyJules7X]

@Spliffor I actually really love that song so quite possibly! :)

[freakystyley4000]

Your hair is getting longer Jules - keep it going mate - you are one serious headbanger!!!

[FamilyJules7X]

@freakystyley4000 Haha, thanks dude! I dunno, I was gonna try not to cut it until summer. But I dunno, I've had really long hair before and it's quite inconvenient...

[freakystyley4000]

@FamilyJules7X - I can't really grow hair longer than you've seen in my vids mate - my hair is too damn thick (I get a 'jewfro')

And besides, I have to be pretty presentable in my line of work... what do you do for a living by the way?

P.S. am not Jewish.

[jam2995]

@freakystyley4000 if your not jewish, than why call it a jewfro?

[freakystyley4000]

@jam2995 - 'cause any white guy with a Julius Erving 'do has a JEWFRO!!!

[BIueFalcon]

I gotta request, Please try Circus galop...............

[toyjay1]

i actually tried to play it while you play it at 75% it really helped with the practice ill be able to play it 100%

Thx for the tutorial

i appreciate the time you put into it
