[13buthead]

So it goes:

5th-2th-3th-4th-2th-3th

5th-2th-3th-4th-1th-2th?

thats the fingerpicking right? Also can you tell me what finger belongs to which string on the right hand? (my left)

hope ur there and you answer.

thanks

[gally042]

the tab is in the info box, it tells you what to do

[Kivizu]

you can actually do it with two fingers only

(index and thumb for the bass notes.)

thats how I play it.

[gally042]

you could do that but then you would have to play two notes with the index very quickly, that would be more difficult, but props to you

[wynnewoodswim08]

a string thumb, d sting thumb, g string pointer finger,b string middle, e string ring finger...thats what i do

[rolas0912]

in what tone are tuned your guitar???

[gally042]

tab in the info box should say it

[spartan117xz]

when you say half step down do you mean D tuned?

[gally042]

nope, i mean each string is tuned down a half step from standard which is EADGBE

[Anthony92841]

NO half step is when you hold everything on the first fret and its in standard tuning. did that help?

[gally042]

no, that would be half step up, half step down is when each string is tuned DOWN a half step, placing a capo or holding down on the first fret raises the pitch a half step UP

[Anthony92841]

NO i meant like when you hold down the first fret its in standard so when its open it will be a half step down =)

[gally042]

well you shoulda said that the first time then lol

[Anthony92841]

My bad....... i was being lazy =)

[StrialMage]

I love this song, and I like play this :)

Thanks a lots, this is so great, for me :D

[gally042]

glad to help!

aaron

[richcoumont]

Hey thanks for the help man.

[gally042]

glad to help!

[domdizzle22]

iam a girl who just started playn guitar and i learned this intro in like a couple of hours its really easy

[gally042]

thats great to hear, take care

[BillyTheKid723]

i've been playing piano for 5-6 years and have been plain guitar for about 4 days andi can almost finger pick this i would call it early to late intramediate

[gally042]

good deal

[bingocage]

on the workers are going home part i bar the 3rd fret on the a string then go up and overto the 5th fret then drop back to the 3rd on the 6th srting 3a 5e 3e

[gally042]

yeah i cover that part i believe dont i?

[bingocage]

ye u just do it a diff way i was just sharing the way i do it and mabe u can try. u might like it or u might not idk

[gally042]

hey there, i tried it and it just sounds a little off to me, but im not criticizing, the one thing i stress is that make the music your own, find what you like, and thats what i think is important

[crossback7]

I wish I wasn't, ya' know, horrible at finger picking. Ha, this song isn't bad if you just pick it normally though, I wouldn't call it advanced.

Solid lesson though. There are so many different ways to play this song that still sound good, it's ridiculous. . .I capo on the 4th :-p

[gally042]

The speed that you must pick it at to keep with the original version is pretty fast for a beginner, but glad you liked it

[69Homersimpson69]

while ur in new york tell the giants the eagles aint done wit dem

[gally042]

i dont go to new york anymore, and i dont live there either, did i say something about new york in the video?

[guitardav123]

ya u said i have to go to new york tomoorow

[gally042]

gotcha, i recorded this video about 6 months ago so kinda hard to remember that

[RxOxXy]

haha he said g string

[gally042]

haha i say it in just about every video

[Gammarklar]

u forgot to mention that ur tuned down half a step.

[gally042]

yea, that is instructed in the info box and tab

[Gammarklar]

my bad. great job. helped me learn it.

[gally042]

no problem at all man, im glad you mentioned that because id rather have it said too much than not at all and someone not see it, take care brother

[alexgillingham0149]

[gally042]

[alexgillingham0149]

[gally042]

[wcutrumpat]

[gally042]

thanks, glad to help

[Uandr4]

artur burro!

[arturpgaleno]

iam brasil

eu naum consigo acompanhar a musica!!!

[AWESOMEFREAK1]

YU!

[gally042]

lol

[ChristopherSEAY123]

Do I really have to finger-pick like that?

I can play up to speed but I only use my thumb and index finger...lol

[gally042]

you can finger pick however you want, if you can keep it up to speed using just those 2 fingers then great

[ChristopherSEAY123]

But is that a good habit? I'm able to practice quite often so should I try to use the right fingers? (About 3++ hrs a day)

[gally042]

i would recommend using the right fingers, but thats your call, as you get to more difficult songs it will be a great asset to have practiced

[dragon8u2times]

HOLEEEE.... i got it!

You really know ur stuff!

Thanks and KEEP GOIN!

peace,

 jdragon

[gally042]

thats awesome, congrats, good luck and take care jdragon

[gally042]

[bescherelle01]

what songs do you recommend for begginers?

[gally042]

glycerine by bush, everything changes by staind, or la vida by coldplay

[Discodwill]

I was checkin out weezer's song from GH3 and found your tutorial. I see your at it again with another wonderful tutorial. Even though your a good teacher, the song is a little too advanced for me. Someone asked for a switchfoot tutorial, and I would like that too considering they are my favorite band. If you can do a tutorial on any of switchfoot's songs that would be great dude.

[gally042]

sure thing, that song is coming up soon, take care

[torren16outlaws]

can u do a video on how to play i dare you to move by switchfoot

[gally042]

sure ill take a look at it

[fakedick]

great video. i own a guitar again for the first time since moving out west and this was the first song i wanted to learn. thanks for helping me and my roommate bother our neighbors.

[gally042]

that is awesome, where out west did u move? i would love to get a place in wyoming on montana sometime when im older, its so gorgeous out there, but cali and washington are nice too, but yeah man i have lots of videos that should help you with learning the guitar, your roommate should learn too, its more fun to learn with someone who can help you out and you can help him, take care

[dakss3]

thanks for all the time you put into these videos :) they're really easy to understand

[gally042]

you are welcome, i appreciate it

[Semestis]

THank you! :D really helped tho i have problem with the f5

[gally042]

[fryman18]

[ilikemagic52]

[gally042]

yes sir

[DontEatYell0wSnow]

thanks! =D

[gally042]

you're welcome

[DontEatYell0wSnow]

i just havn't done much finger picking before that's why.. i gues ill need to lern it one day =S

[gally042]

yeah, you should try it with this song, i think you'll be shocked how fast you pick it up, but either way good luck with it

[gogetta95427]

thanx man its hard with the pick but better then finger

[gally042]

i would have to argue, i think fingerpicking is much easier, but different for each person

[DontEatYell0wSnow]

super handy! but i played with the pick cos i smell at finger picking, thanks a ton

[gally042]

haha its much harder with a pick, but as long as you get it down god job, take care

[shaggyneron]

I'm a guitar noob and finger picking has seemed pretty daunting to me until now. I gave it a try using my thumb, index, and middle finger and didn't realize how easy it was! Thanks!

[gally042]

thats so awesome dude, this song is fun to play and once you build the speed it makes you seem like a stud, try busting this out on your guitar next time a friend is playing guitar hero with this song, they will go nuts lol, ive done that plenty before and its fun

[ryanlim94]

lol hahaha good idea

[gally042]

haha thanks

[batakero11]
