[ivanellokito25400]

[basas00]

one day... one day i'll do it.

[ScottTsai]

@basas00 today is the day!

[Justforasses]

thumbs up for rainbow strings

[marcos20480]

what are the strings that play on the second 42

[mainsqueez13]

how do you read those numbers in the description ? 0_0 and i love how you play it! and i would love to learn it but your so confunsing

[smores83]

the tutorial is pretty good, but it seems like the strings you picked changes, so it's not always top 3 strings. I would be better if you tell us which strings you pick as it changes.

[ScottTsai]

@smores83 its no that important which strings you pick as long as the chords are right. i never really play it the same way either

[misadeptrai1011]

Thanks for the excellent tutorial. By the way, the chord you said you don't know what it's called at 2:38 is a D7

[misadeptrai1011]

E7, sorry my bad

[LeeShiwei]

this is hard. but thanks for the vid, it really helped me a lot

[VanilaTwilightz]

what the hell is that in the 5:02 - 5:10? T_T

Please explain more detail.

[locke20]

@VanilaTwilightz hes alternating between open chord G: 320003 and Gsus4: 320013. You can do the same thing with the G bar chord

[0904coney]

easy but looks  hard.. :) good job.. :)

[ayen1997]

it sounds so good but it's really hard!! T T

[VanilaTwilightz]

@ayen1997 yeah man. this is damn hard.

[abbyyip24]

[TheAfterIife]

That chord at 2:38 is E Major.. as long as you only play the strings your fingers are in. (A,D,B). Nice job man.

[claptonfan951]

[z0mbieninja]

Very nice. Thank you.

[YourEyesSpeakMore]

Okays im COMPLETLEY new to the world of guitar, but how do you play the first 3 strings with only two fingers? Like you did at 2:04 ?

[ScottTsai]

@YourEyesSpeakMore use your thumb index and middle finger

[21sonido]

@YourEyesSpeakMore

if you cant play these simple chords, learn an easier song!!! LOL like: "happy birthday" LOL

[Msvocalista1]

can you make tabs for this??

[xpaulmanx]

@Msvocalista1 I think that is asking for too much now

[Msvocalista1]

[rolandweb91]

[AllOfYourLove21]

Thank you.

[g00b3rsVAN]

Thanks plenty for the tutorial! some questions about your guitar.. Your guitar's a 414ce, what's your pickup? and what year did this model come out?

[ScottTsai]

@g00b3rsVAN I'm using a 2003 taylor 414ce. This was before Taylor came out with the expression system, so I installed a K&K pure western mini pickup. I think its a great pickup and it is also passive! (doesnt use batteries)

[g00b3rsVAN]

@ScottTsai a passive thats good? hm... sounds awesome! how do you control your volume and EQ? or do u not use/care about these?

[cosmicgirl910]

How do you that D min. chord thing at 2:15? Mine sounds different.. Please tell me the fingering stuff!

[ScottTsai]

@cosmicgirl910 x57565 let me know if it helps!

[cosmicgirl910]

@ScottTsai ?? um.. well. im just a beginner so I don't know how to read tabs or those numbers and stuff..... so like.. i try to copy your fingering on your guitar, but it sounds totally different on my guitar.. :( like can you tell me which finger goes in which fret and stuff. thanks! :D

[ScottTsai]

@cosmicgirl910 x57565 means u bar on the 5th fret with your index finger. ring finger on the 7th fret of the Dstring. middle finger on the 6th fret of the B string.

[cosmicgirl910]

@ScottTsai ooh!! THANKS SO MUCH! :D

[RuntLaLaLa]

^__^great

[xxwoahxxitsxxemma]

for some reason th3 3rd chord in the verse sounds wierd i dnt hear the high string

[fabriziozn]

You got alien fingers.

[kristhedrumer]

gonna play this for a close friend of mine...you're awesome i got this shit downpact just by pausing and writing every now and then

[creation966]

I don't get how you palm it

[ScottTsai]

@creation966 just lightly rest your palm on the strings near the bridge/saddle.

[spongeboblz]

you are a.m.a.z.i.n.g!

[ScottTsai]

@spongeboblz hey thanks!

[AmbieMercado]

great! got it!

[toscano316]

I mention strumming!

[ScottTsai]

@toscano316 did you see the video response i made? its called "detailed strumming pattern for lucky"

[toscano316]

I can't get the part of the striking in the chorus. Send me a message? Besides that, a great vid and thanks for the tabs!

[jaxhin]

very nice^^ tnx

[RuntLaLaLa]

great video ^-^

[rgttgi]

wow this is an amazing song. I always thought it was an easy learn song, and it kinda is but those are alot more complex chords then i thought they were lol

[iLLbreaker]

thank you.. very much lopl

[11DanceKing11]

is that a taylor guitar??

btw thanks for the lesson. easy to understand:) we really appreciate it:)

[ScottTsai]

@11DanceKing11 yes its a taylor 414ce guitar. thanks for watching! glad you like it

[windsurf7772]

those cords that you said you dont know what they are, i dont know what they are either, but i just called em spider cords, i wrote that down in my book as i was learning off you, thanks for the lesson dude

[bjrhea11]

i think this guy is cute... love his lips...

[TheVALENTINEINC]

@bjrhea11 i wish i could like a million times! HAHAHAH

[DerangedXParaXBella]

@bjrhea11 ahahahaa xD

[timignaccio]

Thank you for the tutorial

[christianrockr08]

hey, I don't know if someone already told you, but that first chord you didn't know (in the verse) is an E7 chord. the root note (7th fret on the A string) is an E, the 6th fret on the D string is a G# (the third of the chord), the 7th fret on the G string is a D (the 7th of the chord), and the 5th fret on the B string is an E again, the root. you probably don't care that much about all the music theory behind it, but there it is. :)

[20sportgirl]

love this song, reallly good tutorial. thank you very much :)

[jamesgaspard]

Great vidoe man. Beats the hell out of playing the song with just bar chords :D Thanks.

[TLPisME]

this part, you know, the bottom of your palm. lol :)

great tutorial, thanks!

[ScottTsai]

@TLPisME haha thats actually really important though, using a different part of your palm will mute things you dont want to mute. and thanks for watching!

[MaCgyver29195]

You sound like a robot!

[ScottTsai]

@MaCgyver29195 dont worry, im not!

[lwoodmeister]

Sorry for a second post.. just caught something else..you're having trouble with chord names.. so.. the chords are Verse: C, Am, Dm7, Em7, Am7, Dm7, G Chorus: Am, D7, G, C, C/B, Am7, Dm7, Gm7 (and switches between Gm7 and Gm7Sus4), Ab (only on the E string.. which of course is your leading tone to Am) . The "oooh" part is: C, Am, Em, G. Bridge: Dm7 (switching back and forth with Dm7sus2), Am (sometimes I swear I hear an Am7), G. :)

[lwoodmeister]

Not bad for off the cd, but live he plays it a little differently..you're missing something on the Am in the verses, pinky to fret 3 on the B string (making it an Amsus4), and then up to the Dm7 chord, and when you go down to the G, you're missing another pinky part..pinky to fret 7 and then let it hit the rest of the barre, which makes it a Gmaj7add6 into Gmaj7. Also, he plays as many as possible barred, like in the chorus, he barres the Am, Dm7,G, and then the C he plays open and same with Am

[123playmate321]

heh he kinda looks like Nick Jonas in the beginning.. like his mouth hahah cuz Nick's always got a blank face!

[aleiva101]

Your guitar really amplifies well, gives it a nice clean sound. What is it?

[playerz999]

wehh.. u didn't mention the other plucking parts.

[markybgoode]

Excellent job. I'm stealing what you taught and passing it on to my students. THANX

[chrispama]

you teach well man ! i just need to keep practicing :)

[spriiix]

Damn you're explanations suck, I don't know if I'll ever get it right, 'cause just what understanding what I'm supposed to do is close to impossible.

[guitarnoobie07]

@spriiix you suck more. he already explained it in a simplified manner yet you still don't understand.

[BrightnessKnight]

It's Called E7no5... go figure.. E maj add 7 with no 5th in it

[FLIGHTCOMPANY]

I would like help with the picking. I'm still kinda confused. Especially with the bass notes.

[marionneoseo]

hes a wido ^^

[nicilloyd]

you can be a DJ couse you have a good voice

[lfcivan1994]

I am a super beginner on guitar...can u tell me why my G chord is different of yours??I play G chord on the first 3 fret but you play in the middle

[DearKelseySing]

@lfcivan1994 There the same (:

[KatJCAleen]

o damn ... ur great

[Thenamesblandon]

This is an amazing video! I could have used a little slower pace for myself, but i just watch it again! I'm still learning this but it looks way fun! Thanks for this, I usually play the way simplified version of this, but this sounds so much more melodic! Thanks again man! God bless and keep it up!

[MrInnocentvincent]

can u give me the chords .. icant see it clearly ..

[Jetstorm369]

nice video. takes a while but i think i'll get it. thanks

[LoveandGrace77]

The little transition after the intro is kinda vague, I'm not sure which strings to mute.

[att3sor]

I'm doing well with the chords, but I'm having trouble with the strumming. I'll replay this again and again and I'll tell you if I improve!

[sacobosheena]

i love your lips.. uuuuhhh

[vidadict378]

4:50 is a C/B

[Estudiado]

[jmaypitman]

"Palm mute them.... with this part of your hand" Hahahaha love the specification. Hilarious. Great lesson though. Thanks for the post! Totally gonna use it!

[crossingzero]

Hey everyone check out the link above..Scott's trying to get some help with getting some better video gear so he can put out some better quality lessons.. Have any of his posts helped YOU..? Comon folks...lets help out a truly talented and selfless

brother he spends alot of time on these posts and they are worth a little support..Its easy to do safe and its an investment in your self..everybody wins!

[rafayealmeida]

the strumming is wrong. juss sayin'

everything else is correct though.

[ScottTsai]

@rafayealmeida show me then

[rafayealmeida]

@ScottTsai

just palm mute the strings and strum lightly so youll get a slight harmonic sound at the same tempo.

[Aminder7]

@rafayealmeida

strumming could be anything fool. as long as its singable and it sounds fine.

[rafayealmeida]

@Aminder7

Not if you're sharing a lesson. Don't put a video out and say it's the way to play it if it's wrong.

[eazye1968]

awesome vid only thing that can make it better is if u had a studio or something

[KPlankeel]

Well I havent even had my first guitar lesson yet but I guess I can try to teach myself this :) Thanks

[Lenchika82]

THANKS!!

[94fruitopia]

nice taylor right there T.T

[crzdtube]

best tutorial ive found on youtube...ever

[middlekid95]

AWESOME! you are playing it EXACTLY the way he does! Now i just have to watch it a million times to figure out how to do it... haha

[kimiluvzyou]

thanks <3

[RuntLaLaLa]

i really like it =)

[GuitarJunkyPete]

Dude! Love your teaching style. You remind me of my guitar teacher here in Los Angeles. Great lesson. I'm adding you to my site!

[thinktrish]

your really good at playing the guitar . . you suck on teaching tho:) haha

[77KHSS]

Hey Scott, thanks for posting this! You definitely have the best guitar part for this song. =] I'm stuck on a part though, I've gotten along fine until the end of the chorus right before the "oooo"-ing part, and then the strumming patterns changed! Right when I thought I had it down... Could you please tell/show us how you play this part - 3x000x,3x001x,3x000x,3x0003? Thanks again!

[LukeyDukey678]

are you playing the 4 strings the A,D,G,and B Strings for all chords for the first section??

[anthonyT01]

So during the pre-chorus you pluck the 6th and 5th strings?

Great video by the way, I learned it so quickly and it sounds great!

[OlyFREAK2604]

you play really well but u suck at teaching

[kewlgeko]

I'm a beginner guitar person, how in the world do i read/interpret the chords from numbers like "x5356x" and the rest of them? someone plz help.

[Theifofheart555]

@kewlgeko its tabs :)

x means you dont play it, 5 means 5th fret on the second string (a string), 3 means 3rd fret on the third string (d string), the next 5 means 5th fret on the 4th string (g string... lol) and 6 means 6th fret on the 5th string (b string) hope that helps :)

[angelzidane20]

love ur voice!hope u'll sing it! :D

[jussjosh]

Hey i've watch this video bunch of times and tried singing along with it, but i think you have couple more notes on the ending of the bridge. Please check and let me know if you notice the same thign!!! thanks!!!! love this tutorial!

[xXcuppycake16Xx]

wow..nice hands..

[SandyGuitarist]

Sweet! Has a rich, full sound. Totally better than just strumming. I don't understand y I can't get my guitar to be that neat and clear though, any suggestions?

[juanpablo0019]

@ SandyGuitarist it could be your strings ...

[r4z0r84]

@SandyGuitarist make sure your left hand is above the other strings not touching them, grow your nails on your strumming hand abit more, or use a plectrum or thumble thingo =]

[SandyGuitarist]

@r4z0r84 Thanks ! Really appreciate your help. Here's to clearer sounds :)

[BMPhuc]

x)

nice tutorial thanks a lot!

[TheJHXProductions]

Interesting comments. Lol. Nice video.

-CL

[xagustinx64]

but awesome playing!

[tinyatk]
