You are amazing, but you gotta lose the hairdryer. Is it really a blowdryer? How rude of the person doing that; I've heard it on several of your videos. That's just disrespectful. Thank goodness, we respect you!
Hey Mike, It's great that you took the time to do this, but your not quite right. Yes, it's E and A, and your verses are correct, but you've got the count on the chorus wrong. I can't believe no one has caught it.
Never played guitar til I saw this video. You made it look so easy I grabbed my wife's guitar and went to town. Thanks dude! By the way, the beer is a nice touch.
Thanks man, thats got to be the easiest song to learn, what I mean is I never knew it was that easy, I'm not sure about the chorus tho' (does it matter?) I found where you were playing A I played E and I think it sounded better, but as others have said you are a good teacher, I have got loads of songs that I would like to play on gittar from this period, most of them are 3 chord wonders, but I still find them hard, or maybe when they transpose them they lose some of the chords.
dude, your a good teacher. you gave details like strum patterns and alternative ways to do chords which other shit on youtube doesnt. good on ya. and hey i looked up this song for the same reason as your friend. stranger than fiction is an awesome movie. before this i learnt the song jim carrey did in yes man. jumper by thrid eye blind
i was looking for help on the chorus specifically and you never said the line. "id go the whole wide world id go the whole wide world to find where they hide her". which is the tricky timing part....so maybe you should include that
i think your an awesome teacher! I got the song! thanks so much. Just please tell that selfish jackass with no respect for your artistry to take her hair dryer and stick it in her ass:)
Thanks! I watched Stranger than Fiction last night and I love this song. I grabbed my husbands guitar and found this youtube. I now know how to play my very first song :D
dude thanks man...helped...been looking for some good lessons on how to kick off guitars for begginers like me...thios did the trick!! anyone know where i should be starting with easy riffs?
Great video! I suggest playing a bit of the song normally in the beginning so viewers know what they're going to learn to play. You're a good teacher.
Thank you very much. I have been trying to figure out 3/4 timing, but to no avail, on "House of the Rising Sun". I know, different songs, but this song helped me learn another one, as well as how fast I should play, so thank you.
I very much like to teach these songs and several groups that I appreciate that, but I wanted to ask whether I can teach you the song I Caught Myself by Paramore on acoustic I look in the coming days or weeks and so the thank you very much to learn
lol never really played a guitar but I've been playing bass for years now.
I've had this song stuck in my head all day and the guitarist I'm playing with left one of his guitars over at my place so thanks for putting this up it helped me learn something new.
..so awesome! I'm learning to play this for my sweetie and I have NO clue what I'm doing but I actually am strumming along and think I can actually pull this off! THANKS!
Actually, a true "E" chord you only strum the top 4 strings. For the true "A" chord, you strum only the middle four strings. This isn't very important, as the lower strings are drowned out, but it's good to know.
Your a good let us call it a `teacher´. if you get the chanse to become be a music teacher, than i think you should take the job. Your exelent keep up the good work !
it could be your guitar is out of tune, you can buy a tuner at your local music store for ~$20. Another factor could simply be price / brand. I mean, I don't know what your guitar is, but there is a huge difference in the $2000 guitars vs. $300 guitars other than just the price.
Thanks for the tutorial. Great lesson which you made easy for beginners to pick up. I was able to play this song immediately after watching. Thanks again
You fricken rock. good teacher which makes it easy to learn. and you sound like the song too.
I need your help, I've been tryin to learn Vindicated by Dashboard Confessional. I can't find a tutorial anywhere. I'm having trouble with the strummin. CAn you help please!
Great vid! I just started playing guitar, and I do mean just started, and I was able to figure it out! This makes it -officially- the first song I've learned on guitar :D
You may find those "sweetly mysterious" chords by holding your twelve dollar guitar aloft (gripping it by the neck) and bringing the edge of the body hard down upon your head. Repeat this several times.
This is awesome. I just start trying to play guitar and I've been watching a lot of youtube videos and this was definitely the best one I have come across, i like you how you showed palm muting and ways to jazz it up and incorporating the singing. great job man i look forward to more videos
