[MyUnclesNameisGibson]

dude seriously its d a d g b e

[bleachmonster93]

the colors and neck and headstock almost make it look sorta like Kurt's univox hiflier that he used to record bleach, and in the music vid for heart shaped box... but not the body style... just thought I'd say that

[andedi1]

@kukelekuu hahha thats what i said XD

[JuanNirvana100]

suckk!

[growguyuk]

I like ur guitar..the body is shapped like brian mays "Red Special" but with a more gibson-esque neck. Nice...I?ve never ever seen another guitar use that shape except actual copies of the brian may axe.. Your is a nice change. What is a brand??

[DGuitar22]

@growguyuk, it's actually a limited edition first act made for people who bought volkswagens 2 years ago. I don't think you can buy it anywhere except maybe ebay. They only made them in white, and then the pickguard was the color of your car. It was my oly guitar when i made this vid, but now it is my backup.

[eumatovocemuito]

What's your guitar? i liked that,

[eumatovocemuito]

Nice

[synth3333]

whats the point of it bein a half step lower

[ArkAngelSlave]

So it's in the right tune.

To see what I mean play it regular against the music and you can hear how it doesn't quite fit.

When it's half step it blends with the original piece.

[synth3333]

I kno I meant y Dora Kurt cobain make it a half step lower in the first place

[xander403791]

its helpful for vocals maybe. you'd never know what went on in kurt's mind

[ashepherd89]

the intro is the easiest part its the chorus and solo wat we need. but anyways nice guitar man.

[NirvanaRules4Everz]

i don't know how you do it, its so hard :S

[ashepherd89]

the intro is not hard u just need to practice it.

[fwaa122]

its not the hardest song but with practice youl get better lol

[xe989]

dude it's easy what are you talking about this was like the first song i cloud play & ps don't play in a c scale play in drop D it sounds way better & it's how kurt playes it 2

[osporto]

It's hard to believe that you figured it out all by yourself. Pretty impressive, that's for sure.

[jocomat9]

in the description it says he learned it from tabs on the internet lol

[osporto]

I guess I missed that.  Oh well - still impressive.....

[LisaChenon]

weel, it's kinda cool for being so young. i learned a lot actually. thanx hunn :*

[Myselfofme]

Well you are making some mistakes :D but looking to your age and your experience - it's ok ;D

[Myselfofme]

How many years are you playing guitar?

[DGuitar22]

Not Even 1 during this old vid.

[DGuitar22]

Well, actually... this is the second song i learned to play, and i had been playing guitar for two weeks when i made this vid, so at the time of making this video, 2 weeks.

[queenrulz135]

Turrible, just turrible.

Knucklehead... i'm joking, pretty cool

[DGuitar22]

Alright, Bro.

[gormanbc]

How old are you?

[DGuitar22]

Old enough. I look really young in this vid...

[gormanbc]

You're so cute!!

[DGuitar22]

Thx??

[puckbutt]

[DGuitar22]

I haven't met many!

[mawl73]

great stuff man you really helped me :p

[Ikimaru2]

i suck... i suck hard... but its alright, i just got mine and i cant read music, WOOT (i just died a little)

[DGuitar22]

It's alright. Tab is the next best thing if you can't read music.

[lionabc01]

aw thats cute,"Thanks and God bless!" lol... same to you buddy:)

[glendamarie89]

pretty good

[DGuitar22]

This is also a response to 82TheGodOfWar... Play the strings i mentioned, but ignore the ones twos and threes... it is supposed to go from the highest string, 123456, but i said from the lowest string, 123456. For this song you also need to tune your lowest string to a d, so that it matches the other d, but an octave lower. Thanks!!!

[82TheGodOfWar]

iight im completly new at this. I just bout an acoustic and the dude said actually its a classic type guitar so anyway. I really like this song and i wanna know could i play it on a acoustic? 2 3 sounded about right but when i hit 4 it didnt sound half as good as when u did. oh by the way umm i forgot how to read music iwas a percussionist b4 i decided i wanted to play guitar. HELP? where can i find info on how the chords go , E A D ? ? E and basic melodies to practice. Thanks!

[DGuitar22]

To Tune the guitar, you should tune from the Lowest string as an e, and then, as you said, A, D, G, B, then high E...

for the guitar, the easiest way to learn a song is with tab. Tab is included in every guitar piece, under the music itself. Tab is simple, but hard to explain in a short amount of words. Expertvillage has great videos that teach tab. I may come out with a video later... I am sorry about the fours and threes... I messed up. 1 should really be the highest string...

[kevzzyz]

That rocked,any videos with the chorus?

[DGuitar22]

Not Yet... Maybe in a couple weeks!

[spl100]

Actually the correct term is D Tuning down a half step.

[DGuitar22]

Yeah, Man! Thanks...

[nirvanarocker311]

[FinalKnight6]

[DGuitar22]

Thank You very much.

[poopds]

dude just try drop d tuning.

[DGuitar22]

You can and I have, but in order to match the recording of the song, you have to use the funky one I refer to.

[maca12345678]
