ty for the song. and nice hair

[mccollsk]

Could someone fill me in on what is going on with the two measures of G? I'm still too inexperienced to figure out that pattern on my own.

[mccollsk]

The two measures of G in the verse, to be more clear.

[XxInsaneMomentsxX]

hey is there any way you can teach me how to play the accordion part on guitar

[MrBuc128]

I have a question.I purchased the E book but how do I purchase the charts to specific songs such as this?

[paulcliftonevans]

Excellent lesson. Thanks!

[rossyman68]

[matt3586]

[rishcomer]

bro, Some of us really appriciate the capo(come on its 20 buck). So many thanks as it takes a lot of skill to be able to break these songs down to where people of all levels can play them. Truly a sage....you da man bro

[madmaxlp2002]

Again Your time is greatly appreciated thx again brotha!

[macktruck145]

Thank you very much for all of the awesome lessons you post. I'm having trouble finding the rhythm to the chorus, pre, and the two E- in the VRS. I got the 1 3 4+ part down but I can't figure out the other parts. If you could lend a hand that would be great. Thanks again

[soulsurcher]

Thisguy is so cool, I use this instuctor for most of the songs I want to learn. Thank you very much

[MtSiredneck]

[spankthru17]

cool hair, better lesson. never knew that my capo was helping me cheat. i kinda feel like a noob now :(

[Mahadinho2]

even professionals use capos it's not cheating its jus an easier way to enjoy the song especially when your starting out

[spankthru17]

cool hair, better lesson

[joalucard]

Great Lesson, real simple and helpful, good work

[moobymonkey4life]

Freakin' awesome dude! Who knew playing could be so easy. It's so awesome to find people willing to each others how to play without expecting some sort of monetary gain in the process. Thanks for being my friend bro!

[zmahaney]

No problem, and I don't mean to come off the wrong way or anything. The truth is I thought I was smart enough to tell you how to do your job, when I'm really an idiot cause I don't even know that much (like how to change it to a C#)...so forgive me.....Yeah please show us some crows...maybe Thorn in my pride, or jealous....thanks for everything,

Z

[yourguitarsage]

No bro. No problem. You were correct. It's just a different approach. I appreciate the input.

:)

[zmahaney]

Dude I really appreciate what you do...I know it means a lot to a lot of aspiring players out there, but with all due respect....Do you play anything without a capo? It seems like every song I want to learn that you have on here requires a capo..(which i dont have).. so I have to just play it lower...I am pretty sure that when they play it (and I've seen them live a few times) they don't use a capo....just a thought....oh yeah and can you put some Black Crowes on here (sanz capo)

[yourguitarsage]

Thanks zmahaney. The Capo is more for you all. I can play bar chords all day long, but too bar chords don't allow you to "noodle" across the fretboard. Acoustic typically resonate better with open chords too. So to answer your question. Yes, I play a lot without a capo, but to make the songs easy for folks to play, I suggest a capo. If I'm playing a C, capo'd at the 1st fret, just bar chord a C#. Love the Crowes! We'll see, I have a LONG list :)

[rahkenrole]

@yourguitarsage i noodle bar chords. like 7ths with extensions and 2nds sound great ( like a 9 but no 7)

[J2a2n]

@zmahaney u guys really need to stop complaining about the Capo. just go to a store and get one for 5 bucks..it really cannot be this hard to do

[dskorjanc]

'bout time you did some of my music, E! You know I love "the crows that are counted thusly..." :D

[bigdawg8744]

could you do No Rain by Blind Melon???? seems like it would an easy one like this one.

[bigdawg8744]

Or Maybe even Lost Children by Tom Petty would be another good one

[lostinspase1]

I love this song it means so much to me
