  • 1:06 Thats what she said.

  • 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.

  • I gave my love a cherry that had no stone....

  • @mandris08 *smash smash smash smash*...sorry.

  • thank dude, great easy way how to learn the song.

  • Thanks a lot, man, you made it really easy.

  • Very good tutorial on Wreckless Eric's, "Whole Wide World."

  • well explained!  thanks alot!

  • Dude! I just picked up the guitar, searched up the lyrics, and watched how you played the song, I can't thank you enough man!

  • I'm a beginner and haven't managed to learn a song off the internet before now. Well Done!

  • thank you, you fucking legend! this is the first song i've learned :)

  • awesome lesson my friend. you do have a gift and great tune for beginners to impress the ladies.

  • damit women i said to do your hair later!, im recordin the geetar!!

  • Nice!!!! Thank you so much!!!!

  • good and easy song to play thx

  • This stops playing for me at 3:51 no matter what.

  • Thank you, this tutorial helped a lot. You're a good teacher, not bad singing voice either.

  • 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. 

  • You're the best teacher, really. Just heard reckless on FUV so I came home and utubed it. I know I canPlay this, now. Thanks!!

  • i felt in love you!!!! what is the sound behind you is it vacuum cleaner or washing machine :)

  • 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.

    Peace

  • mmmmm... Trader Joe's beer.

  • i speak spanish but i understood all..... youre good teacher.......

  • This is very helpful, thanks.

  • Thanks for this. Thanks to you I learned my first song via chords on guitar. (Before I was using tabs.)

  • youre very good teacher... : ))

  • this was great. :D you should for sure do more!

  • 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

  • this is the easiest song ever, good song tho

  • 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:)

  • Nice teacher, nice song.

    Just got a guitar and this is tremendous help.

    Thanks for the upload...I can play this now.

  • thanks. awesome video. vacuum or hair dryer in the background is kind of distracting. BUT dude. you're cool.

  • Just watched Stranger than Fiction. This is the easiest song I've tried to play. and it's the very first song I know fully. Thanks!(:

  • i hear a vaccuum cleaner. xD

  • strummin pattern for chorus ? the up and down one.

  • his face is funny as hell when you pause it!

  • geez just get to your point

  • Thanks man, really.

  • 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

  • @adalab same! I heard this the on Stranger Than Fiction, and now it's my very first song I'm ever gonna learn

  • wow i've always wanted to play guitar and after i saw this movie i decided to go for it. this is the song i'm starting with. thanks it's so helpful!

  • Can't wait to get home from work and learn this song :-)

    This is the video and the song to start me on playing guitar... bought it a while ago, but I haven't gotten started playing really yet.

    Thanks for making it understandable :-)

  • Excellent tutorial you have that teaching gift

  • 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?

  • ok first...great vid, u taught me the song real quick, thanks alot.

    second.. to all the retards that left comments about a vaccum or hairdryer...stfu, its a PC fan

  • Comment removed

  • tell your mom to turn off the vacuum...

  • 1 e and uh, 2 e and uh

  • to much talk

  • lol nice dryer. good vid

  • ahhhhh i can't get thr right sound out of my guitarrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!

  • maybe you should tune it first.

  • Great lesson, the vacuum or hair dryer is a bit distracting, but I really enjoyed your style of teaching. Keep them coming.

  • 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.

  • Girlfriend. Hairdryer. Oblivious. Lol.

  • who's vacuuming

  • really detailed! i like this

  • 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 love you for that!!! thx a lot.

  • my guitar sounds better with a minor and e minor

  • yes i would also love to learn caught myself by paramore, the music is excellent

  • 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

  • sounds better on bar chords!

  • Thanks for this video lesson! Very detailed! And I'm a total beginner.

    (I'm gonna guess its a laptop fan that's making that noise.. or someone started a hair dryer)

  • Awesome video, except ~5:30 it sounds like someone starts vacuuming. Great otherwise!!!

  • I'm guessing that's his computer fan kicking on.

  • oh my gosh you're so good at explaining this it's the first time I've ever understood how to do any of it haha

    not to mention you're also very cute so that helped lol

  • 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.

  • Great job! Very helpful for a newb like me.

  • can u get ur mum to stop vacuuming ur bedroom next time?

  • Nice.

  • ..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!

  • this was probably the most in depth and informative video for a true beginner that i have ever seen. I appreciate the starting point

  • 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.

  • play dont sing

    no im just kidding thnx for the TUT it helps a lot

  • Scheiße

  • Thank you soo much i can now play my first song thank yuu!!

  • man that fan is so loud! cool tutorial thanks a lot

    thank you sooo much! rock on.

  • Your video is very helpful. Thanks!!

  • this is great man. is someone vaccuming in the background?

  • Ur cute:P

    And thxx it helped me :)

  • very good instruction, i finally found the way to play it. thanks, and keep it up. patience is key and i believe you have it.

  • man you really should be an instructor, great job

  • 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 !

  • thanks for the lesson. thank u so much dude.

  • great lesson.. im trying to figure out why you guitar sounds so much better then mine though.. same chords.. but your sounds more on point

  • 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.

  • I love this song

  • thank you, that was pretty helpful. ;) 5 stars
