[Averyveryrandomguy]

excellent video, thanks. I knew the chords but I couldn't get the rhythm right (another video suggested 'down down down up down up'). Your strumming rhythm was much smoother for me and my transition between notes was no longer a problem

Thanks again

[PearlsAndGemz]

thanks so much, but do you think you can teach us

the strumming patterns?

[TheKaratyChicken]

he Could you do yackety axe ? ^^ its an epIc country song (cartoon tune-ish)

[care4women]

you speak a lot.......

[yourguitarsage]

@care4women Yes, ever since YouTube progressed from it's silent videos days, I have taken advantage of the whole sound phenomenon thing. Too, it's so helpful when teaching, instead of pointing and grunting like a caveman. Thanks so much for noticing!

[TheMisaku]

[badness5]

cheers mate great help

[GeekG]

hey thanks for that. COULD it be that also the last part of the chorus is C, D, Bm, Em??

because to me it sounds off when i play the G-Em. i mean after one plays the C, D, Bm, Em, the last bars are also the same chords.. what do you think? so 2 times "C, D, Bm, Em".. i thnk to me it sounds better

[monex6694]

[Stonewall5]

* its "seas would rise when i gave the word..."

[dmanmoka]

lol that was awesome..!

[sucmylefnut]

lee7653 there's no way to for anyone to recommend a brand of guitar for you.what you have to do is go to different music stores in your area and play different guitars to find what you're comfotable with.if you're a beginner look for one with a low action,that means one where the hieght of the strings is closer to the fretboard,it'll be much easier to fret the strings especially when you're near the body of the guitar. then pick the one easist for you to play that closest to what can afford.

[yourguitarsage]

Thanks sucmylefnut!

:) Well said.

[sucmylefnut]

no prob. that's how i chose my ovation celeb. keep up the good work on the lessons, between you,justinguitar, & jamplay i've got about 4 or 5 songs that i' m almost able to play all the way through since i started playing 2 months ago

[HLGMostWanted]

when you buy the ebook is there updates for the guitar tabs thingy magigars

[hiphop2318]

by any chance are you discovering new artists?

[lee7653]

Yourguitarsage. I got a question. I'm trying to buy a new acoustic guitar. What do you recommend for a beginner?

[bigboobz]

How much you willing to spend? haha

[LuXxenatorX]

the acoustic beginner guitar 3000. about 100 euro, i dont know the prices in $...

[hitomekakera]

k. your talking about me with the capo part. XD

[sallurta]

You're the man! You make it so easy. Sweden thanks you. And by Sweden, I mean me. Tack! (Thanks in Swedish)

[yourguitarsage]

Thanks my friend! I visited Stockholm last November and fell in love with that town. I want to go back!!!

:)

[rainbowmania10]

[SPARKiie19]

[daniel93daniel]

[aneianape]

[Danielavrasinec]

[yourguitarsage]

HAHA! So sweet! Thank you :)

[petter331]

You´re awsome!

[vignesh12300]

DUDE UR THA BEST!!!!

[guitarguy316]

Holy crap! Thats my guitar dude!

[yourguitarsage]

HAHAH!! I have never seen another!

:)

e

[guitarguy316]

I have had my yamaha jumbo now for about....17 years! Wow, that just made me feel old! I will try and dig up a video with a good shot of it and send it to you. Peace.

[Inutenma]

Now that you play this, I realize it sounds similar to Take On Me.

[jtonessimo]

how about you teach us how to play if i could fly by joe satriani? hahahhaah

[mickey2196]

so the chords are:

E, D, G and A?

thank you very much! :D:D

[eroberson1977]

No they are C, D, G, Em for the main part then C, D, Bm and back to the C, D, G, Em

[TylerDurden779]

Just want to say that this was another amazing lesson. thanks

[thirdcoastfreak]

can you do kings of leon sex on fire

[indielyness]

I second that please!

[katrina150]

how much is a kapo ?

[heartsongsKat]

The kind that works best for cheapest is about 20 - 25$. I don't like elastic type capos. The metal clip ones work great and they're about 25. :)

[TheReasonBeing3]

cheap crappy capo's cost £5 and good ones cost £15 but it is worth it!

[gazillionandone19]

i got mine for like 5 bucks...and its still working pretty well.

[coolstufftt]

Thanks - I really want to learn this song.

And thanks for the advice to brush my teeth ... Very funny.

[GreenIsRob]

I didn't like ending the lesson with brushing my teeth!

You should do Sleeping Sickness by City and Colour :)

[monst3r91]

i like to use the term pump rather than choke. great video. thanks alot!

[mattkf4aej]

thanks for the videos you put up and the time you do them. thanks again.

[Lamsam123]

Would be nice to play.. The Sound of Silence

[EAJ1523]

you look like the comedian dane cook. a little bit.

[smokingunnz]

Nice lesson. Great to be called a 'kid' again after so many years. LOL. Anyway I feel like a kid inside as long as i don't look in the mirror.

Thanks.

[yourguitarsage]

That's the attitude AND my sentiment!

Thank you!

[blablalblalblal]

Great lesson!

[billyjackblue]

maybe a blues lesson--perhaps some John Lee Hooker?

[JuliaVicenza]

You know I love you!!!

[ahippohunter]

Thanks for another great lesson!

[StevenBuchan]

I love your lessons! :)

And your singing is great ;)

[Mrpuntosuspensivos]

hey you're such an amazing guitar player! :D

I subscribed to your acoustic videos since I'm trying to learn how to play and sing with an spanish guitar.

I have another request for you(well, I have a lot but I'll go with this one) could you do Poets of the Fall-Illusion & Dream??thank you so much for all your work!it's so helpful

A fan from Spain ;)

[StupidEarthlings]

sweet.

[p44v9n]

talking of capos, don't some damage your strings or is that just some cynical rumour ?

thanks :D

[yourguitarsage]

Never heard that one. That might could bend your strings, but I've never had it happen.

[p44v9n]

'that might could' ... :S

:) ok thanks :)

[neXib]

Damn that capo, you always use that, I gotta buy one now. Do you work for the capo industry? :D

[theultimaterockr]

Thanks for teaching me the rhythm to "If I could fly". Satriani Rocks

[yourguitarsage]

:) YUP!

[TheGuyYouKnow2]

lol brush your teeth on a guitar lesson

your awesome man o(^_^)o

[hskjfg3321]

haha, this is the first time you posted a video of a song i already knew ;) but i did learn a slightly different strumming method for this song in this video :)

your videos have made me a much better guitarist! thank you very much!

**here comes the request**

i was wondering if you could do "Poets of the fall - Fragile"

i know it is not that mainstream or really popular but i think it is a technical challenging song and iv'e tried to learn it for some time and could use some help.

NORWAY FTW

[yourguitarsage]

NORWAY!! If it all goes to hell in a handbasket, that's where I am moving. I'll just eat herring all day and play guitar...hold on I do that already..."Poets of the fall - Fragile" is going on the VERY long list!

:)

e

[kenygrek]

[yourguitarsage]

Bob's creepy...his arm and legs have been separated from his body.

[Conacostock]

How do you choose your songs? And if it's by giving in to popular demand, then you should do some more Radiohead.

[yourguitarsage]

LOVE Radiohead!

[Jayco119]

good question. Another song he should do is Dead or Alive by Bon Jovi. I'd love to see him do that one.

[teamwhenslunch]

Out of the 40 songs or so i know i've learned around half of them heere thanks dude lol

[yourguitarsage]

Sweet!  Thank you! Tell your friends, feed a cat!

[AlbieTom]

This would be better known as the Lesson on "If I Could Fly," by Joe Satriani.

[yourguitarsage]

I agree!

[dioseolo]

lol Indeed.
