Teenage Werewolf - The Remus Lupins - Guitar Tutorial

[Voldie4]

See you at the El Rey! Hoping you'll play this!

[mushitsme]

i like how you say via, its funny

[shaupage94]

omg "i love d7 :D" you're the cutest

[singstudysmile]

*sobs* USED TO BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE...

[lae1819]

Could you please do a tutorial for" oh dear my dear "?

:D

[delaney68720]

Could you please do a tutorial of Young Serius Blacks Flying Motercycle?(:

[PigfartsMaddie]

Also POTTERMORE would be good to play ;D

[PigfartsMaddie]

I'm getting a guitar for christmas, things like this will be really useful for me, thanks! (:

[SpindipRob]

Looking for Trouble, plz

[holliztr831]

I like how your face went when you said you liked D7. It was funny. Oh, and can you make a tutorial for " No Place for a Girl on Fire". I like that song.

[xOliverTuesday]

I love D7 too. Let's be friends.

[lunathewarrior]

Can you teach us how to play Origin? I love that one!

[ozg28]

I love how you love D7 :) Cute and charming :D

[Ginijory]

Ive been looking for these chords for ages, hopefully I can transfer it to the uke! :D

[owlsneedlove]

link in the chamber of secrets ....i like that

[msflapotter]

this makes me want to try to teach myself guitar again :)

[waffles032]

Teach us FINAL BREATH. Just saying. xD Loved it, though! While I've always been more interested learning the drum parts (Cause Aaron Burch is such a boss, also because I'm a drummer first and guitarist/bassist second), this stuff is really cool too, and now I can finally take my guitar-ing to the next level. Another out-there request... Tyler's bass part in Alone on V Day. Freaking love that.

[slytherinforlife]

can you teach me how to play the 12 string guitar?

[twinkletoes121]

Huge fan of these types of videos! I'm a very weak guitar player but hoping to get better, and it really helps me to watch someone playing and hear their tips on the song rather than just looking at a printed list of chords. I would love to see tutorials for "Lovely Lily" and "Perfect for Each Other."

[DoogieRace]

"I was a Teenage Werewolf, doing the best that I E minor!" :D

[penguin112493]

While I think these kinds of videos are awesome, I would love it if you were to just post the chords to as many songs as you could somewhere, which would be easier than making tutorials for all of those songs, and would allow more people to play them.

[GallifreyanGirl40]

Next time can you show the chords as you play them on the screen too? That way we get an idea of exactly when the chord changes.

Also I can't find "Don't Let the Muggles Get You Down" on iTunes-Am I blind or is it somewhere else?

[aVividImagination]

Ok, so I just watched this video, right? I click into iTunes to start up my NerdRock shuffle and the first song that comes up is "Teenage Werewolf." It's almost like my computer has psychic powers. :D

[aVividImagination]

I love watching you teach those who play guitar how to play your music. I would love to see you teach "Lovely Lily," because I'm fairly certain that it's my favorite WRock song ever (don't tell Jason and Luke that I even like it better than "Only Power Remains" :D).

[missy4423]

You should teach us how to play The Weasleys. That song is my favorite. :)

[m00nytunes]

I love that you did a tutorial! :D I had this one down but one Remus Lupins songs I've been dying to nail is "Wake Up and Dance With Me". It's one of the more unique ones and quite possibly my favorite. :)

P.S. Sorry the fangirls didn't take your gesture more seriously.

P.P.S. But you're used to it, champ.

[kelseyli23]

You're really cute. Just letting you know.

[quotezy]

I love D 7th (:

[PeetaPettigrew]

This was awesome! I'd love the guitar part for "The Fate of Severus Snape"

[IAmNerdHearMeRoar]

I wanna know how to play Reeping Day. That's such an amazingtastic song.

[marybibik1990]

Teenage Werewolf brings back so many memories...I miss the Remus Lupins. Show me how to play Maybe Tomorrow next! I love that song!

[teamdumbledoresarmy]

lol, he looked like he had NO idea what he was doing. ooh I love you Alex

[spotismycat]

@allshalldelight Yeah. I learned the chords. The C7 is the hardest one to hit but it's manageable.

[MegTao]

"used to be"

*sobs*

[HanzyBinanzy]

More tutorials would be awesome!!! I love the one that starts "I went to your house but no one was there. For the first time in years I was scared" but I can't remember the name of it right now and my itunes wont open >:(

[TonksftMemories]

Yesss I'm going to go try to play this on ukulele. It was so amazing live at Leakycon. I'd definitely be interested in more tutorials - or even just somewhere to find the chords (maybe on tumblr?)

[allisonwonderrand]

@TonksftMemories I just did it on uke! Pretty simple, actually, except I always have trouble with D7 because I have tiny hands. XD

[NoellaBear]

Ahh, I'm so glad you did this!

[blackhawkgirl97]

"down in the Chamber of Secreets"

lol Alex you are awesome!

[ClassyMuggle]

Wait... "Used to be"?! The Remus Lupins is forever B)

[mittaBlack]

@ClassyMuggle THANK YOU! I just get depressed by hearing used to be! I will not accept that as the truth! :)

[ClassyMuggle]

@mittaBlack xD Nor will I. It's just like that horrible lie that Harry Potter is over - complete nonesense in my opinion.

[rnotghi]

i lovvvvee hearing the guitar w/o the voice cause then I hear it better when you sing with it.

[spotismycat]

The chords work great on piano too.

[allshalldelight]

@spotismycat Really? Awesome! I'm going to try it out on piano then.

[behindthesun02]

"Doing the best that I - A minor."  <3

[ErinMusikk]

hehe, I'll add this to my list of songs to cover. :D Which is way too long and includes way too much Wrock. XD (too much Wrock? No such thing.)

[dumbledorerox98]

I lost my only guitar pick right after I grabbed my guitar to play this. UGH.

[Ravenclaw2313]

I think tutorials are a great idea. The best part is all the lyrics laid out. I've wanted those since an embarrassing Wrockstock sing along when the entire room realized we actually only knew half of the lyrics to this song. All fixed now though. I want to learn Reaping Day next!

[VollZiegeuner]

god that's hard! I'm sitting here and try to play along but i keep getting distracted x D

"i like D7 *smiling*"

[BelieveSteed]

Love this tutorial! BRB transposing to baritone Uke.

[Scramalope]

I loved this video! Yes please make more! I don't really care what song you choose because they are all so great! Can't wait for the next one.. Now time to go figure this song out!

[adamsalyce]

awesome, will learn. I always thought it would be so cool if a band would get a fan to play with them for one of their songs-and then Evanna Lynch played bass for HatP. Coolest part of the show.

[geekcombatters]

Love this! So useful, thanks! Could you teach us Alone on Valentines Day next, please?

[naturallyemily]

This song was the first Wrock song I ever heard and because of this song I became exposed to the whole harry potter fan community. So, I just wanted to say thank you.

[everythingrandom13]

Loved this! Can you do another one for Pottermore please? :D

[teenagelobotomyjake]

Video tutorial of "doomed to meet"!!!

[katien22]

Oh man, I am on this like white on rice. *retrieves guitar*

The Remus Lupins were my favorite wrock band. I cried when I found out you guys played your last show. I mean, it was probably partially because I found out the day after DH2 came out and I was already fragile, but still. There were many tears.

(I'd love it if you'd post a tutorial for the song 'Wizard Rock' off Spells from a Broken Wand. I <3 that song.)

[theoriginalmoda]

Alex, the guy at Starbucks liked my Wolfpack shirt.

[xperpetualmotion]

I love that song. If I could play guitar I'd be all over this.

[WritingDisaster]

*Gone to buy a guitar to learn how to play this*

[xolarisxo]

your such a dream boat!! :)

[4evaGTB]

UKULELE FOREVER!!!

[emmainthealps]

I love your Wrock music, it is pretty much what led me to have 500+ Wrock songs on my iPod. :D my favourite from TRL is probably Home, Marauders Forever or Lullaby. Thanks for making Wizard Rock so amazing.

[SMK5885]

YES!! Tutorials would be awesome!!!

[amyevekeegan]

Best fucking song ever. Yep.

It's what got me into Wizard Rock. You're the best. YOU'RE STILL IN THE REMUS LUPINS! What about your last music video?! <3 yooouuuuu

[sidewalkxlines]

"Remember Cedric" was the first Lupins song that I heard, so I would love if you could do a tutorial of that :)

[mercedeshj]

I can't buy the albums, I'm from Mexico, and iTunes does not allow me to buy it.

its a shame

[fanofallthingsdorky7]

Could you do some Oceanic Six songs like Monster Eats the Pilot, or Christmas on the Island?

[killsarawr]

awhh. D; USED TO. </333 I saw you guys live in 2007! Best year in HP ever. <3

[flowerfades]

I'm not crying.

I've just been chopping onions. I'm making a lasagna... for one.

[Cypresswhisker2]

rip the year before Deathly Hallows came out.

[Cypresswhisker2]

THIS SONG FILLS ME WITH SO MUCH NOSTALGIA. 2006-7. :(

[bridgetotheotherside]

Thank you so much for this! :D I'm only a beginner guitar player, but I've been working on learning a lot of new songs - including a few Lupins songs - lately, so this came at the perfect time. I'd love to see more tutorials in the future!

[acciorachel]

i loved this tutorial! maybe alone on valentines day, lovely lily or looking for trouble. i love all of your songs though, so any tutorial would be amazing!

[PrincessFrany]

Hey Alex! I really enjoyed this video! You should definitely do more tutorials. I can't play the guitar that well, I've been trying to teach myself, but hopefully I'll be able to play this because it's my favourite TRL song! Please could you do a tutorial on Alone On Valentine's Day?

[lavviexx]

You should do the same with "Maybe Tomorrow" that's my favorite ^^

[InEssenceDivided]

I'm not crying, I swear, what are you talking about?

This was awesome.

[tsunayoshisawada]

Alone on valentines day!

[theermyohnee]

I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS FOREVER. But the "used to" kills me.

[pygmypuff85]

Can you put The Next Great Adventure EP on itunes? I really want "Don't let the Muggles get you Down"!!!

[WendyWonderland]

"I love D7 *flashes cute smile*" ahaha

[FunSunGrl]

Become a guitar teacher. PLEASE!!!!

[allisonwonderrand]

I don't own a guitar, but this seems like it's a pretty simple song on uke! Yay! You should teach us Seven Potters or The End. Even though The End would be like the longest tutorial ever.

[MagicalMansion]

loved this tutorial! when I read the title of the video in my subscriptions I immediatley ran up the stairs to get my guitar! I would love to see more tutorials!

[pushpullify]

This was great. I usually have a tad bit of trouble following some peoples tutorials. I had no problem with this one. :D

[HannyPaiy]

I sang along during this whole video. <3

[OhMyDeity]

I loved this! It was very informative and helpful! I don't mind what song you do next! :)

[professortorcoolguy]

I remember trying to learn this last year by watching live videos. This is great =] Maybe lovely lily next?

[slammusaran]

Loved this video!!! You should teach us how to play APWBD!

[skye1985]

"used to"

/cries

[nix1032]

I enjoyed the silliness :)

[jeezmeldc]

More guitar tutorials, please! Your other videos are enjoyable but this by far is my favorite.

[3525lucy]

l subscribed because l love your personalty:)

[SweetTalk1o1]

yeah. i didn;t geek out when you said you liked d7s because that's one of my all time favourite chords of all time. absolutely not.

PS

PLEASE DO A TUTORIAL ON BOW TIES ARE COOL! No one ever puts your chords online! :(

[spiffy427]

I love this song and this album. It was my first WRock album and it's very special to me <3

[holliztr831]

And I plan to get a guitar anyway.

[holliztr831]

I loved it! I've always wanted to go to a Remus Lupins concert. But I can't. Oh, can you do " In the Hunger Games "? Please!

^_^

[XxCheekyPaddyxX]

You're awesome :D

[ArtemisMoon12]

Used to... oh my god Alex, this breaks my heart. You know you inspired me to create a wizard rock band and yours was the first wrock show I ever went to. I felt so proud I knew all the lyrics to this song when you played it live; I'm glad you shared the chords with us. Thank you.

[lunathewarrior]

The first song I ever heard by The Remus Lupins was Origin, and to this day (and hundreds of wrock songs later), that's one of my favorites. I do appreciate the beard, you're awesome! Also, my friend and I were inspired by you and we started a wrock band called the Marauders.

[lunathewarrior]

Like @JuLietteBloody, I've always been kind of in awe of you. I saw your show in Oak Park, IL, this year. I didn't know what to say to you. I ended up just kind of pointing to which cd I wanted, and as I was trying to get my money out of my pocket, you offered your hand. Being the awkward person that I am, instead of getting my right hand out of my pocket I sort of twisted around my left hand and we shook hands like that, 'cuz I freaked out. I've been cringing about it ever since. Sorry, Alex!

[outsidergirl]

This was awoosome! You should do one for What's Coming Will Come, since I kind of love that song. Or anything from Freedom in Panem. Really. Anything.

[CheyenneXeno]

This video was so great! Definitely do more like it! I would love to know exactly how to play What's Coming Will Come, I've tried to do it by ear, but I just can't seem to get it right!

[bananabobo789]

you should do either 'In the Hunger Games' or 'For all the Hufflepuffs'

Or both :)

[biteme32092]

i loved this video. even though i dont play guitar, i like watching videos that show how to play songs (i've learned how to play songs on the piano that way lol). i think you did a really good job on this :) and, if you were to do another one, i'd like to see how you play literary echo :)

[pattinsonluvr17]

do a song off tardis key

[20jesusfreak]

You are my fave you tuber

[20jesusfreak]

This was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo awosome

[ajswanson91]

Videos like this make me wish I knew how to play guitar. But with my hand eye coordination, everyone would be begging me to stop :P

[librisyo]

I would totally watch more of these - especially if you did Reaping Day!

[AlannaPwnsAtDebate]

"I used to be in a wizard rock band called the Remus Lupins." Sorry, there's a just a forest in my eye.

[JuLietteBloody]

*takes a deep breath*

Alex you are hands down one of my favourite people in the whole world! :) This is my first comment ever on your channels, I've been following you for ages but never commented because I'm kind of in awe of you! Your songs are amazing and your videoblogs always cheer me up, honestly I wish I could be your friend irl! Really, whatever you do is awoosome. Just wanted to thank you for making my days better! :)

*end of rant* ...love from a far-off place, Italy! Sofia

[Justinbieber6144]

Why did you quit the band Alex? I love their music and I just wish that you would get back togethor because you guys ROCKED!

[lunaology]

the weasleys? or um maybe looking for trouble ( the best song ever)? i love learning how to play songs

[KimsGlitterChatter]

Why are you not in The Remus Lupins anymore? :'(

[hawthornandunicorn]

This was really cool! I would love to see more of these

[kateisanerd]

In The Hunger Games would be pretty awesome to learn :)

[houseofawsome]

Alex could you please please please teach us how to play Oh Dear My Dear please please please

[aammaannddaa9]

AWESOME!

[coherencynotrequired]

I'm not going to lie when I saw the title of this video in my sub box I thought this was going to be some ridiculous sketch video of a board game version or video game version of Teenage Werewolf. But you know, guitar tutorials are cool too xD

[devilishlypure]

This was fun! I'd like to learn to play "Snape".

[SpellboundSama]

I also dislike the past tense of your first sentence, but this was fun to watch <3

[itsme123445678]

Hey Alex. Marry me.

[OhHeyJade]

I thought you were in Ministry of Magic?

/jk

[blackhawkgirl97]

@OhHeyJade at first when i saw your comment i was like "wow... idiot"

then i re-read it and i thought "oh no they're just funny"

lol

[georgeordraco]

I would love to learn teddy and victorie or the rest is silence or graduation day!!!

[jinxinart]

wait USED TO BE?!

[LoonyMads]

Now, if only I could play guitar!

[donnyhouse]

Cool video. I really need to learn how to play my guitar! But, I think videos like this would be awesome from time to time for those who can play their guitars. o_O

[lilymiststar]

I would love to learn Lily :)

[debloveshollywood]

Alex, I enjoyed this type of video! I would love to learn "Maybe Tomorrow" or "Alone on Valentine's Day". Actually, it doesn't really matter, does it? ALL REMUS LUPINS songs are pretty much fantastic and would be happy to learn them all!

[KrullLina]

"D7. I love D7"

adorable<3

[iLisaaar]

OMG <3



[liamjfloyd]

You should make a tutorial for Pottermore!

[ohmyitskai]

I would learn the guitar if you taught Freedom in Panem. I freaking love that song. 

[bookrazy]

WAIT!? What happened to the Remus Lupins and when?

[yelsaewnor]

This was great! Please make more :D I don't play guitar but I think now I will learn. In the mean time going to get my brother to play this!

[SophiePieroni]

This is kinda weird, I Was A Teenage Werewolf was the first wizard rock album I ever got, I guess I shall learn this at some point.

[dumbledorerox98]

Thanks!!! That song really doesn't have any chords I don't know, and I've only been playing for a month. I'll definitely try it out(:

[lilypadsturtle]

This was really cool. You should make more like it!

[psychosamable]

this was a great video definitely going to have a go at playing this now, just learning the guitar but going for it anyways thanks

[MissRandom10]

Making tutorials is a brilliant idea! Make MOAR :D

[evilsisterslol]

a heart as the top comment...thinks to self 'this is an oppurtunity for something witty to take top comment'

[twigirl49]

i'm going to go listen to this song and cry to myself BECAUSE THE REMUS LUPINS ARE OVER!!!! :'(

[jaimehalifax]

Woo! just made the under 301 views club :)

[grohllikeatroll]

[lintyisntaname]

[Caitlinnie1]

Oh the times I wished I could play guitar..

[7Nargles]

I don't own a guitar and I can't play one, yet I watched this video anyway.. ;)

[Browerchick]

Under 300 club! Also, you were ADORABLE when you were talking about d7, like just to let you know! <3

[DoctorWhat3]

Lullaby!!!!!!

[LivelyLor]

i'll immediately go and grab my guitar! i hope i get along with it. usually i don't have a problem but with the strumming and the rythm:)

[awatchfinder]

Oh, I wish I could play guitar.

And I do love that Beatles 60s feel. :)

[AlExAnDrA4669]

a bass tutorial would be great :P cos i play bass, and not guitar, cos its bass... :P

[BFace91]

Tip for future me: This works better when your guitar is in tune and is not missing a string. Great video! Thanks =)

[OliverEcks]

<3

[FrancisBelldonna]

I don't play the guitar, but I really like the tutorial anyway.

Please continue doing more tutorials

[4inawhilecrocodile2]

"I used to be in a wizard rock band called the Remus Lupins."

"I used to be in a wizard rock band"

"I used to be"

"used to"

"USED TO"

*sobs to self*

[ImTheUnamy]

please, please, please, please, please, please, PLEASE do more tutorials in the future :D

[kateisanerd]

I took 8 years of classical guitar, but I haven't played for a year (the place I played at made me kind of hate guitar) but this made me want to start playing again. LET'S DO THIS.
