How to play computerman

[Santhian]

@ThKinG9German you are right, there are just five chords, but maybe some of us want to play them with the correct picking and hammer on and etc.

Nice video dude, saludos desde Argentina!

[calinedua]

how to play 1:28

[majikman6294]

im havin a little trouble with the hammer on part...are you playing 4 3 open then hammering string 2 on fret 2 or string 3 on fret 2...if thats an understandable question...and the second half of the song i cant nail it right, i agree you should make an in depth video man, even tho its only like a 40 second song lol its still challenging for some of us retards surfing tabs...but as for the video thank you very much man u did great, it just needs a how to for us slo-dudes, but thanks again

[calinedua]

I could write guitar tablature

[bullard1707]

I contributed 5 views trying to get this right great tactics for most viewed video of all time

[KillasaurusArcade01]

can u put a vid more explained cause this kinda sucks i mean you can play but its just weird like you were in a rush to make it

[ccampbell949]

@KillasaurusArcade01 yea inno. im gonna try to make a better one lol

[KillasaurusArcade01]

@ccampbell949 alright kul! thanks man(:

[nclram1]

which F are you using? Doesn't sound right when i do it

[ccampbell949]

@nclram1 variation of the F barre chord, instead of barring with your first finger, put it on the first fret, second string

[123456789118]

dunno how to play the bit at 0:45

[ccampbell949]

@123456789118 ok, well, what don't u understand?

[littlez67]

Well hello there Samwise Gamgee, I didn't know you played guitar :)

[Canblm]

Lol its just 5 chord if you can't play don't play guştar anyway

[SniffySniffles]

what is this tuned to?

[ccampbell949]

@SniffySniffles well, its meant to be standard. may be slightly off in the video

[sasukeslayer1]

i just cant get the little g part down.. its not a full strum but ive tried a few different things and i cant seem to get it.. any tips?

[ccampbell949]

@sasukeslayer1 what part do you mean mate? like, the hammer on on the G?

[skillzdatkillz900]

you say play f twice but when you play through it you hammer on once, and play it once, i think. is it fine either way?

[ccampbell949]

@skillzdatkillz900 yea mate, inno. Yes, play the f twice, thats how i play it wen im jamming. sounds much better :)

[skillzdatkillz900]

@ccampbell949 ah good lol i can do the whole song but cant put two parts together simply because of the F. Damn my begginer..ness..

anyway nice video :P

[KayahW]

hey, great video, but do you think you could do one with the tabs on it please?? cos i really wanna play it but i cant find any tabs for it!! :) thanks

[ccampbell949]

@KayahW there should be a link in the description for a video of tabs that was based on my tutorial video :)

[KayahW]

@ccampbell949 ahh you legend! thanks!! :)

[skillzdatkillz900]

i love this song just for kicking back and just humming it like in school of rock ahah

[chiragrh91]

Dude Thanks a TON! Love this song, wanted to learn it from some time.

Im still an amateur at playing the guitar, the hammer-on's are Really tough for me. I managed to get all of them pretty ok, except for the F Chord Hammer-On, i just play it, the hammer-on does not come for me its too damn tough to hammer-on that chord so i just play it without hammer-on. Is it ok? i mean the sound is almost exact to the actual song so im happy....

Please Reply back if u get time

[ccampbell949]

@chiragrh91 yea man, i think thats how i do actually play the song (not in the video, but when im just playing it), i dont hammer on the first 'beat' of the f-chord, i just play it lol :) So, it sounds fine :)

[chiragrh91]

@ccampbell949 Lol, nice..... you play good dude! Thanks once again for the awesome vid, take care bro.

[warmaker911]

awesome lesson + awesome accent.Keep posting :)

[nagamora]

[juanmicobra]

eyyy man can you do another video more explained ? please man

[monoclemanXD]

awesome accent!!!

[cDekKk]

you must play it first and then show it.. :D

[jgreenjs]

hey man, awesome video but I'm not clear on the hammer on to the G chord you do before it starts from the beginning, you kind of just grazed over it quick. Could you possibly clarify that for me because I'm pulling my hair out over here lol

[ccampbell949]

@jgreenjs emm, k, theres 2 downward strokes on the G-chord, rite? so the hammer on is inbetween these two beats, if that makes any sense? if not comment me back again

[jgreenjs]

@ccampbell949 thanks man, now I got it! Jack Black eat your heart out! lol thanks again mate

[ccampbell949]

[JonFromIcelandz]

[ccampbell949]

no problem, i'm glad it was of help to you bro! :)

[SilentTutorialsEtc]

i'm pretty sure thats not a F a f is barred on the first fret

[ccampbell949]

its a variation f chord that tenacious d use in all of their song (which have an f-chord in them)

[saschadobro]

wow....great lesson...

with your help i was able to play along that

song within maybe 1h....

really good tutorial :D

THANKS!

[ccampbell949]

thanks bro, i'm glad you found it so helpful!

thats pretty good progress for 1hr! u should post a vid. :)

[skiny998]

is it hard to learn this piece? and can you do it on the acoustic that only has 3 bass strings and 3 higher ones (forgot it's name)

[ccampbell949]

when you first start playing it, i suppose, its hard to get the rythm and timing, but once you get the hang of it, and you practice, it gets fairly easy.

And also, do all 6-string guitars not hve 3 bass strings and 3 higher-pitched strings? i dunno

[ccampbell949]

yea, it is a good song, i play it all the time.

[PrestonZero]

thanks man...it's a good song :]

[eduenriflolop]

inbecil no sabes esplicar...

[ccampbell949]

What?

[ArmandoKolombia]

aprende a escribir primero y luego quejate pinche analfabeta

[ccampbell949]

What?

[ccampbell949]

¿Qué es supuesto que significar?

[ArmandoKolombia]

sorry dude i was saying that to one asshole that was saying shit and he didnt know how to spell in spanish.

[ccampbell949]

oh right! soz! :)

[ccampbell949]

no probs. i'm prob gonna redo another one over the summer when i have some free time

[ccampbell949]

thanks, and i'm glad u like my accent, it tends to become pretty broad at times! :)

[northernireland2008]

you've got a quare accent there boy! been using access lately boy? talking like that will give you the squits!

[ccampbell949]

what the hell is access? and don't get me started on the squits.

[fragmentmondayxx]

You're awesome and oh my god I love your voice/accent. <3

[ccampbell949]

Pestañas son bastante fáciles de leer. cualquier cadena que tiene una marca, juegas (lectura de izquierda a derecha) si theres una "h" al lado de la marca, que en esa cadena de martillo.

por cierto, su querido decir "martillo-que en cadena". Espero que esta ayuda!no sé si esto es correcto o no!

[ccampbell949]

Tabs are pretty easily read. whatever string that has a mark, you play (reading from left to right) if theres an "h" beside the mark, you hammer on that string.

Other than that, i don't know how much more i can help you, cuz i cant speak colombian!

[recordmasta001]

i love irish people . gd tutorial m8

[ccampbell949]

Thanks! and i'm glad u liked the tutorial! :)

[Kaitlyn9481]

are u irish....if you are yay....so am i!! =)

[ccampbell949]

Yea, i am! whereabouts did u live before the carribean? :)

I'm surprised you had to ask, my accents pretty broad!

[Kaitlyn9481]

Lol, Belfast!....I miss it so much! You?

[ccampbell949]

Lisburn. so, not that far away! :)

[northernireland2008]

for flips sake connor why dont you get some decent lighting?? what were you playing at trying to do this tutorial video with that level of lighting?? disgraceful!!

[ccampbell949]

you, son, are an arsehole. :)

[ruudj2]

its nice song to learn but i can't see you'r chords clear you should try the camera on an other position.besides that if you count you'r strings you'r first sring should be the high e string at the bottom hihi.

but for you'r first toturial its done pretty nice .

[munkymanmatt]

dont know if its just me but youre out of tune, with my guitar anyway maybe youre half a step down? but its driving me nuts so im gonna look for tabs.

also turn on some lights

[ccampbell949]

think i tuned mine online. if you type in online guitar tuner into google it comes up. abd i think its standard tuning. and yea, im sorry about the bad lighting! if i find time, i'll make another tutorial! :)

[00Skilz00]

can u tell me the finger placement on each string for all the chords cheers

[ccampbell949]

k, (ill take the low (i.e thickest) e as being string 1)

Am- 1st fret- 5th string, 2nd fret -3rd +4th string

E- 1st fret- 4th string, 2nd fret- 2nd +3rd string

F- 1st fret- 5th string, 2nd fret- 4th string, 3rd fret- 2nd and 3rd string

C- 1st fret- 5th str., 2nd fret- 3rd str., 3rd fr.- 2nd str.

G- 2nd fr.- 2nd str., 3rd fr.- 1st +6th str.

I think this is wot u asked for, if not, leave another comment and ill get back to you. :)

[syncdancer]

Yes can you change the position of the camera because thats not like any F chord Ive ever been taught and I cant see where your fingers are. Lighting would be nice..just turn on some overhead lights

[MPaans]

Okay.. tip for your next instruction: get some decent lighting, aim the camera at a decent position so we can actually see what you're playing, and play the entire song SLOWLY for at least once, i've watched this vid 10 times, and i'm still not quite getting how you're playing it.. i know i'm a novice, but I know how to play those chords, just not the stuff in between which you make so hard to understand (for me anyway).. where'd that video go with the animated tabs of computerman? :(

[ccampbell949]

dunno, i think da guy removed it, and his version from youtube, but dats how i learnt computerman from da animated tabs. is there any particular parts which your really stuck on and i cud try to talk you through them? and soz about the lighting, cuz its my first tutorial and also i find it alot harder to play it slowly as you need to keep the rythm and hammer-ons for it to sound any thing like the original.

[bails2003]

FANTASTIC man! i'm gunna learn this today!

[ccampbell949]

thanks, glad u liked it. if u learn it, post a vid of urself playing it, that'd b cool

[crakesdog]

This is KICK ASS!! thank you very much mate... :)

[ccampbell949]

thanks for the comment, glad u liked it.

[08GSmith]

[blaatorizor]

Thanks for this, dont play the guitar, but its a fun piece to fiddle with, perhaps i can memorize it :)

[ccampbell949]

[imerich]
