Holyshit dude.. This is amazing..

[DonBarnetti]

Are both guitars capo'd on the 2nd fret or just the rhythm guitar?

[matthewscott92]

@DonBarnetti Just the rhythm guitar uses a capo. The lead doesn't :)

[Epicsound124]

[Epicsound124]

[xXxChato829xXx]

[matthewscott92]

[353228086]

What is the strumming pattern? good cover ;)

[lachy251197]

could you tell me what is the strum rate for this song your playing

[SuperNirvana93]

With The Chorus it Goes Am7, C, G, What chord is after G coz the TAB says is D/Fm but dosent sound right ?

[matthewscott92]

@SuperNirvana93 It's D/F#, not D/Fm, which I play as 2nd fret on the 6th string (low E), 2nd fret on the 4th string and 3rd fret on the 5th string. It should sound identical with that :)

[Luukeeeehh]

@SuperNirvana93 its d/F# but without the high e string 

[ssjpocket]

ultimate guitar brought me here :D

[paradisepantglas]

strumming pattern PLEASEEE?!!

[MrKeviNOvich]

inspired me to learn.

[matthewscott92]

@MrKeviNOvich WOW Really?! that is just insane :D you should put a vid up once you've learnt some stuff :)

[Jordan96CND]

TUTORIAL PLEASE

[matthewscott92]

@Jordan96CND Literally don't have the time to do a tutorial, however chords and guitar tab are in the description :) more videos coming soon hopefully!

[Jordan96CND]

@matthewscott92 why must you be like this

[matthewscott92]

@Jordan96CND Like what?

[Jbedwell7]

hi mate nice guitar playing but how did you learn the song

[matthewscott92]

@Jbedwell7 Thanks :) and I did the lead myself (guitar tab link in the description) and I learnt the chords on Ultimate-Guitar (link also in description). I wouldn't rate it too difficult to learn, but I have been playing for a long time. I'd say most people have trouble with the strumming pattern in this song though, but once you've got the swing of part of it, the pattern's pretty much the same all the way through :)

[rexybexy134]

wow you are really great! could you please post a video on how to actually play it please? i would love to be able to play it! thanks x

[dom252]

Quick question.. in the very first chord, the G - in the UG tab that's described as 300033. Don't quite get why that isn't 320033 (with the 2 instead of a zero), isn't that what a G chord is? Can't quite tell what your index finger is doing, not sure if you play that 2 or not!

Cheers!

[matthewscott92]

@dom252 Hey, thanks for the question. I actually didn't tab out the chords, only the lead guitar tab. But I played around with both and generally just played the one my fingers went to first, both sound relatively similar when you're playing the song anyway but in the video I believe I was playing it with the 2 :) Hope that helps :)

[dom252]

@matthewscott92

Yeah cheers! To me it just doesn't sound right if you don't play the 2.. when fully *strumming* the chords anyway. Was wondering if maybe whoever tabbed it was basing it on a guitar part where that A string doesn't actually get used, like mabe just picking the lowest E for the bass note and doing the rest with the 3 highest strings.. cause then I suppose there's no point fretting the 2 on the A string. Was just wondering if you had a better guess :D

[tomhent27]

whats the strumming pattern ?? this would realy help

[AneesoX]

i know nothing about chords, tabs etc, please teach me the little square screen on show please!! :)

[matthewscott92]

@AneesoX As much as I'd love to help, I literally don't have the time to make a whole video just for the lead guitar. I do seriously suggest learning chords and learning how to read tabs though because this will dramatically improve your playing.

[AneesoX]

@matthewscott92 thanks for the reply, wish me luck!! :D

[rhythmtown]

top notch

[nothingpersonal21]

Your UG tabs are great :D

[matthewscott92]

@nothingpersonal21 Thanks :)

[MrsCrazyForSmarties]

Thank you SO much for the Tab link! Really helped a LOT ! I was looking everywhere for it! Nice guitar, and really well played! :)

[matthewscott92]

@MrsCrazyForSmarties Thank you very much :) x

[MrsCrazyForSmarties]

If only i could play like you...

[NatalieC120]

Love it!

[matthewscott92]

@NatalieC120 Thank you :) xx

[MrJIMBOfred]

Nice version. Check mine out

[YeahAndMe]

Complicated strumming pattern D: D: D:

[MegaThomas119]

Awesome tab ! Thank u so much, i sad for like an hour trying to find out my self.. keep up the awesome work!

[langoose]

What is the chord being played around 10/11 seconds please?

[pqowieuryt101]

I can finally play the lead...but you can play it so much better :(

[matthewscott92]

@pqowieuryt101 Nice one! and thanks :P but I'm sure you'll get it soon. Just a little bit of practice :)

[Nycyraa]

This was fatastic help Cheers mate!



[matthewscott92]

@Nycyraa No problem! :)

[TheShakey90]

thank you so much brah!...also you shred on guitar.

[MrGacklekid]

whats the strumming pattern :) ?

[SamuelDDryden]

wtf is C1 chord??? :)

[matthewscott92]

@SamuelDDryden I think the person that wrote out the chords used '1', '2', etc... so that it's easier for people who don't understand 7ths and all the other musical jargon :) The chords diagrams for C1, C2, etc... are located at the bottom of the page.

[SamuelDDryden]

@matthewscott92 K cheers.... the cover is good by the way

[matthewscott92]

@SamuelDDryden Although this way of doing things isn't going to help people trying to learn chords one little bit...

[xSmashxBlackops]

@SamuelDDryden did you ever find out? lol

[matthewscott92]

@xSmashxBlackops I've already replied to his comment. All of the chords and positions are listed in the tab on Ultimate-Guitar. I didn't write the chords, only the lead tab.

[notyourbasicprincess]

This is great!!

What strumming pattern do you use for the chords?

[Milk12Sugars]

Same guitar as me. Very well played*

[Milk12Sugars]

Same guitar as me. Very well planned.

[TheMattyKenyon]

Thats awesome lmao, i love the song and this tab is bang on :D now for me to learn it :') cheers

[pqowieuryt101]

[gluedtomylaptop]

[blueridgebr163]

Thanx matthewscott92 great easy to follow if ya cant figure out the chords from this maybe ya should not be tryin just yet hey amazing lead really really impressive i will be recommending cheers mate

[GiizemHayta]

strumming pattern one of the things i suck at... where is it?. :D

[jmzhorne]

@GiizemHayta

(down down, *palm mute*, up down up) <--- 1 Bar

(down down, *palm mute*, up down up)

try it while you watch this video. you will get it in 30 seconds

[GiizemHayta]

@jmzhorne Thanksss! I Had given up, but I'm backk :D

[ashleyjamesthomas93]

did you tab the lead yourself? its literally spot on to match the vocals

thanks a lot :)

[matthewscott92]

@ashleyjamesthomas93 I most certainly did :) Took bloody ages! haha. No prob :)

[CollectedInnocence]

whats a hammer on? <3

[matthewscott92]

@CollectedInnocence Say you're playing the 7th fret on the A string, if you literally hammer your finger onto the 9th fret of the A string whilst the other note is still playing, this is a hammer on - so you're only playing the string once but only you'll be hearing two notes basically :) <3

[SecondDoorToTheRight]

Strumming pattern if you don't mind me asking?x

[thejonesy6996]

I REALLY dont get your chords on the site, please include diagrams :L

Anybody else not quite get them.

However THANK YOU A MILLION

[matthewscott92]

@thejonesy6996 They're not my chords, they're the ones I followed. The only tab on Ultimate-Guitar that is mine is the one for the lead. And no prob :)

[superflyingmonkeyboy]

please tell me the chords!

[matthewscott92]

@superflyingmonkeyboy They're in the description along with my guitar tab for the lead.

[Music321Freak]

[matthewscott92]

@MrShyMusicMan Wow thanks man, yeh no problem :D

[ITSJODYCRADDOCK]

This is amazing, the tab for the lead is amazing, such a tricky song to get the hang of though!!

I wish I could get the strum pattern, would be a really cool song to just chill and jam with. Any chance you could help with the strumming?

[RandyFernando1]

[menci11]

[CDLEGO]

[matthewscott92]

@Naaaaaaaaaaaaaahh Yes it is :) Sorry forgot to mention that in the description :S

[Ngriffywiff]

Any chance you could do a talk through of this, i'm only a beginner and cant tell just from watching this (the chords part).. I would love you so much if you could!!!!

[yongtube91]

[boffin28]

[MrMarchee95]

You are quality mate :) recommend you do a voice over on how to play it though, its not very clear in the video :(

[annajazzcasey]

[matthewscott92]

I'll be putting up the tab for the lead on my ultimate-guitar account so I'll put the link in the description sometime this week! Thanks for all of the great feedback, it's much appreciated :) x
