[MrThetranspark]

[flameboy122]

you have a great voice man! your series has helped me even though i've been playing for a few years lol

[bikernerd88]

i like this vid, but i think you should do a video detailing again how to do the chords in the first part of the vid.

great vid!!

[paloma90210]

Hey rico. I don't mean to sound rude or mean but I really don't think singing is your forte, however, your guitar playing is simply fabulous. I love your vidoes and think your a really good teacher. Your tutorials are better than any of the other tutorials on youtube. I subscirbed and can't wait to learn more.

[wolfkiba1000]

I love when you playing, and you sing really great!

[jacoline0simpleplan]

yoyoyoyo

[NUTAC555]

OMG you sing rlly good! you are just awesome!!! u helped so much thank you !

[billyb0yy]

hey rico! first of all great stuff :) got a question tho. the B barre chord is not at the same place in your 1st movie as in the 3rd one when playing the cure.. as I'm a total rookie when it comes to guitar playing in any way and I'm prolly wrong in someway and I wouldnt mind knowing what I got wrong here :)

[Briant27]

you are awesome! and seriously, you voice is very good. Chasing cars was awesome.

thanks for the videos you have no idea how much they've helped.

[darkzetsuei]

You play very well and you sing way better than me.

P.S: STUPID CAMERA!! :x

[ladaluv91]

[kiradum]

[radrico]

tyhank you :)

[baraka099]

the whole series of vids really helped me out thanks man

[radrico]

glad i could help

[Ridwan13ws]

Hi

I'm confused because there's a lot of guitar type and does it matter what type of guitar you play??

[radrico]

this applies to acoustic, electric, and bass guitars (except bass guitars have only 4 strings E A D G)

[atreyu98]

jw dude do u think dive and wish you were here by incubus would be good?or no?

[radrico]

dont really listne to incubus so i dunno

[atreyu98]

oh ok

[movieguy420420]

hey thanks for these vids man, i really dont know a thing about playing music but i pick up my guitar everyday for a few hours, and i just figured out how to palm mute lol so thanks (Y)

[radrico]

glad i could help man!

[C3Z4rtv]

are you mexican?

[radrico]

yep yep.

[Celticgal95]

Your really good at the guitar :).

Do you kno if its easy to play any of the Blink 182 songs :P ? x

[radrico]

yep all songs are easy just about, especially punk songs ;P

[Celticgal95]

Lol ok thanx :-) x

[OHWolves1694]

Is Frampton music easy or no? Baby I Love Your Way is one of the first songs I wanna learn.

[radrico]

great song. it depends, if u are doing it with barre chords any song can be easy. now if you want to play it the same way he does then the difficulty rises. but just google the chords i think it starts with an F, or theres an F somewhere in there. i havnt played that song in awhile.

[RGBreed88]

These videos are crazy good for helping out!! On the chorus of Chasing cars are you still holding the same chords but strumming all strings?

[radrico]

yeah just doing a palm mute and strumming them like a barre chord pretty much :)

[canice123]

Thank you for giving your time and great talent to teach lesser beings, such as myself, learn how to play the guitar. I have a request..is there any chance of teaching the riff to MCR's Disenchanted? Either way THANK YOU!

[radrico]

haha well your welcome. and i dunno if ill ever get to that, but if you learn yourself through the vids you can easily do it by tab :) make sure you subscribe and check out my other stuff too please!

[isaac14723]

loved the vid and stop saying your singing is bad, it is very very good, and a hole lot better than mine!

[radrico]

srry habit. i criticize myself too much :P

[isaac14723]

lol, its ok

[shelldogg2]

I'm confused about where the bar chords are on teh frets, cause you run through them really fast and i don't know what frets they are. can you go like 'A' which is on blah fret. Yeah, cause i get confused easily.

[radrico]

just replay the video :)

[ebaybizman]

u need better lighting

[radrico]

sometimes.

[westcoastg213]

its awesome when show how to play a song, keep up the good work!

[radrico]

no problem. keep watching and check my other stuff

[mikepwn2]

im a bigginer .. my dad is good and tryed to teach me but it confusing and he works alot and dont have time to show me to much so ur helps help me alot . thx ( and btw u not bad teacher ... =p)

[radrico]

thank you very much glad i could help

[SebastianMcK]

whats songs that?

[killodollars]

could you do a cover of My Chemical Romance's Its not a fashion statement its a deathwish?

[radrico]

i prolly could, but i dont really do requests all that often, if i did a mcr cover it would probably be one of the songs i really like - like helena or im not okay.

[CarlTheDestroyer]

yo rico, i been doin ur 3rd vid over a few time(the drop D thind on the 2nd threw me off) and i get lost on the chord change, after you do the F sharp to G six times i cant get the strumming down for the B & E. any suggestions? Either way, great videos man

[radrico]

if you can turn the video up kinda and play along with me. -i had to rewatch to even know what you were talking about lol, but i think your getting thrown off because it holds a little long on the b and the e..

the whole song is like 1 2 3 4 switch, 1 2 3 4 switch (on chords) but when it gets to the b and the e its like 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 switch 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 then back to the 1 2 3 4 beat. just tap your foot to keep the beat/timing if you need to.

[razz0900]

hi ive been playing since was about 7 so bout4 yrs but still cant get the bar chords plz can u help

[radrico]

just keep watching the videos i have 4 parts :) watch over and over and keep practicing.

[Skaajj]

thanks mate, awas useful:), and btw what guitar do you have?

[radrico]

i have an ibanez electrc acoustic :) its ok. id liek a fuller acoustic but ilike the best of bothj words and smallness of this one so yeh. hope you subscribed man

[Skaajj]

yh i am mate, no worries

[radrico]

[HotGothicPrincess124]

[radrico]

thanks

[HotGothicPrincess124]

lol np

[zeronyskater]

amazing. please make more videos of popular songs like snow patrol! i love it.

[radrico]

no prob man.

[gnwhite]

Love ya man. Thanks for the help.

[radrico]

no problem man

[godwriter]

I remember the cure (old man here) I like this song. One question, I am not sure what happens with the strumming. (sorry) when you form the chord do you strum across all the strings or just the strings involved directly in the chord?

[radrico]

depends if you do it the lazy way or not. if ur being lazy just strum the strings your pushing down on the frets . if ur playing the full barre chords then it should be ok to strum all the strings to get a fuller sound.

[whiteboy9364]

thanks man this really helps me im gonna go try it now

[radrico]

hope it works out for you man (i dunno why this didnt post last time)

[whiteboy9364]

thanks man this really helps me im gonna go try it now

[radrico]

sweet glad it helps, subscribe if you havnt yet and see the other videos as well!

[freakbehindu365]

thank you for these videos they really do help alot so once again thank u, but i was wondering do u think u could make a video showing how to play dance tonight by paul McCartney because it seems very simple but yet i cant get it. and i understand the chords from ur first video.

[radrico]

try seeing the 4th video to read tab better, then just look for the tab to play it :) also please subscribe and show your support

[friselpill]

are these songs tuned for drop d or regular tune?

[radrico]

regular tune only part 2 was drop D. or if its drop D ill be sure to say so before playing odnt owrry ;]

[TheReynoldS]

in the cure song.. are you playing just the first string? or all of them? i dont get it.. :(

[radrico]

playing the barre chord (see part one of the video how to do that)

[lizzles13]

The Cure! I'm glad you started with that song...most definitely one of my favorites! I didn't know it was that simple...thank you.

[radrico]

yep it is! and yeah its a great song :)

[pedorrero2112]

hey man i finally got my guitar, i have a question.. how many frets does ur guitar have?..

[radrico]

mine has 21

[pedorrero2112]

i see

[shanehibbs]

hi you probably already went over this in one of you vids but when you look up chords on google how do you know which fret(s) to do the chord on or how many times to use that chord

thanks

[radrico]

well the first video will show which fret = which chord

[seeya36]

[radrico]

[iLastSummer]

- paul

[radrico]

well thank you man. i appreciate you taking time to thank me. and subscribing. thats cool of you. i cant believe how many ppl i've helped with these, it feels good. and its saving them like tons of money on guitar lessons too probably. but im still broke! lol j/k, but definately stay tuned. ill get more up soon.

[biker23184]

haha I like your humour mate, I agree with you that it would feel great helping us poor hopeless souls haha I would too if and maybe when I become more experienced such as yourself. As for money you should go on tour after viewing a few of your vids you have got the talent to make it man so you should try. :)

- paul

[radrico]

[radrico]

[kokohawk]

You seem to have a good teaching technique. I have a guitar with a broken string and is terribly out of tune. If I ever had the time or the place (I live in an apartment building) I would definately take instruction from you on how to play it. It's nice to see you passing on your knowledge to others.

[radrico]

well thanks kokohawk. and its my pleasure to pass music along. music is great!

[krazykul89]

Awesome. Thanks. This really helps.

[radrico]

[crazymadonna]

Hi Rico, thanks for this video.

I have hoped so much for another guitar lesson by you.

I am really impressed how good it well it can sound if you play something easy on your guitar.

But well, what I would not call it easy anymore what you are playing in this video.

[radrico]

hey man no problem :) my pleasure

[Ridwan13ws]
