do a regular D chord, then just lift your middle finger up.

[dianaroxs007]

[babesbikesbeer]

".....the noisey part"....classic!...love it!

[lt2540]

The beginning is good but then goes churchy with (If I lay here). Maybe, if the lord lays here?

[irontuskman]

what does dat have to do wiv this video natashabedingfield04

[thelynchykid]

with the intro i got lost on the next bit tat was the shitest lessen eeeeeeeeeeeeeeevvvvvvvvvvvvvvv­vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvverrrrrr­rrrrrrrr

[marconeuk1]

that's great, helped a lot thanx for the video.

[oneofthesenights1974]

I'm sorry but this isn't how you play chasing cars, you've just shown some basic chords with a basic strumming pattern that barely resembles the song. I understand making songs simpler for beginners but you can't take a picking song and just cover it with basic strumming and open chords. = [

[ORRify09]

a, e, and d what?

[charliesg101]

D sus 2 witch just means a d chord but with the 3rd fret of the high e string instead of 2nd fret.

[mendelievium]

nice, thanks! =-)

[tandogg2195]

i was wondering what the strumming pattern was..other than that...YOU BEAUT... :D

[JoshIsWatchingYou1]

cheeres buddy helped a lot !

[saadsohal]

OMG THANKS :D you rock.

[dazzy8]

greetings from ireland mate really enjoyed your vids, cheers.

[ferrywever]

thanks man your real good:P

[oldbloke135]

Thanks for this. Encouraged me to have a go. I tried it your way at first but when I was doing the strumming bit I realised I was hearing the picked notes and it suddenly dawned on me they are part of the same three chords! I find it easier to make the full open chord shapes and pick the 3rd and 1st strings on the A and E chords and the 4th and 1st on the Dsus2.

Easier for a beginner like me than trying to find the seventh fret!

Thanks again.

[ja48123]

You're GREAT! Thank you for such a great lesson! I LOVE this song! I am so inspired as I am a beginner and I think there is hope I may be able to actually learn this!!! THANKS

[ACO438]

Some people have no manners... He's taking time out to teach you ungreatful people a song. Have some respect.GOOD JOB!!! Thanx for the help!!

[330Jakal]

wtf y r people baggin him?

and wow when he sings he doesnt sound old its so weird

[steveowen1982]

idiots.. this guy takin the time out to teach u so dont be so ungrateful.. nice video mate ignore these morons

[incinorated]

You SUCK ol' man

[iThyrfing]

Well, you should consider killing yourself.

[hsmlover1111]

There is a much easier way that I teach

Picking- 2nd finger on the 2nd fret on the G string and then a loose high E (2 bars of that) Then 1st finger on the 1st fret again on the G string and high E (2 bars of that) Then a loose D string and high E (2 bars of that) then back to the 2nd fret

Strumming- 4 bars of A Major, 4 bars of A Major 7, 4 bars of D Major then back to A Major then back to the picking

[MrBrandonkee]

whats the strum pattern you use?

[TonyMcWatt]

Thank you

[sgim43]

This is not a good version, the correct way to play this song is easy enough... dont waste your time on this version - play it the right way

[kingerdadinger]

i just got my guitar a few days ago and this is the first song i have learned!!!

[mYcHeMiCaLCaThY]

i got my guitar 2 months ago, and the first song i learned to play was Lucky from jason mraz!

lol just saying! lol

[PaTrIcKLiKeSBaSeBaLl]

you should check out wonderwall by oasis its really easy to play but still fun

[agusbacan]

the first song i learned in the guitar was a Shakira song lols

[MagicHetero]

ring of fire's great for beginners

[lilmarzi1904]

2 middle strings frets 7 and 9 then 6 and 9 and the just 9 and then start again =D

[johnsmith200814]

people wodering about the strumming pattern just play the chords along with the song and it will come naturally

[abzdabz27]

Thank You!!

[antipestoluv]

Soo, the chords are A, E, D 2? :s

[HippieChick123456]

[Archaeleon]

You are an excellent singer.

[thesexycaveman01]

great cover and lesson, keep jamming my man! Peace out from the UK

[WarNova]

Haha that NZ accent is really coming through there. But cool vid =)

[xDomePiece]

2:40-2:50 is all jibberish what are you saying there? =(

[maph3rs]

Basically its a power chord mate. First finget on the top e string and put your little finger on the a7th fret of the a string. Then keep your hand in that posistion and move it up one so first finger is on the 4th fret of the e string and your little finger is on the 6th fret of the a string.Then its the same for the bit after but its first finger on the a string 5th fret and little finger on the 7th fret of thed string.

[DragonPH1]

Thx u my man for the chords !! :)

//Best Regards, Patrik "PH" Larsson.

[Joe3612]

Sub titles for all! Intro: Finger 1: 7th Fret of 4th String Fifth finger OR Third finger: 9th Fret 3rd String Then Finger 1: 6th Fret 4th String Fifth or third: Same as above. Then Finger 1: Open String Fifth or Third: Same as above. For the rest of the song, Play A, E, D(remove second finger). Just play those chords over and over again

[Joe3612]

Seriously, can someone type out what hes saying? The accent and poor audio quality make it almost impossible to hear him!

[cmacmuiris]

i think he's a kiwi.......its a lovely accent, i love it. if u listen very carefully you can hear him say....Joe 3612 is a knob jockey!

[Joe3612]

Can I get sub titles?

[azthanos]

awesome tutorial... LOVE THIS SONG!!! :D

[clovergirl22]

About a month ago I found this old guitar that someone had thrown away. Other than a few scratches on the back, I can't really see anything wrong with it.

So far, I've been learning fairly quickly; however, I broke a string. Now, I can't seem to replace it without breaking it.

I tried going to a music store to see if they would show me, but they wouldn't.

What am I doing wrong?

[Tanim1993]

GREAT TUTORIAL! i was playing the whole song within an hour! Thanks for your help!

[grayso07]

excellent tut m8 gr8 work very well explained, keep up the gd work

pretty good leson, except i think you could have gone into detail a bit more. and i agree with some others at the end it did get a bit confuseing, but im a beginner so that could just be my lack of experience lol. probably.

[1995martin]

[Sweatyo7]

[coffeecane]

I couldn't make out what you said about the first 2 chords?

[bebe6ora]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah i cant understand your accent maaaaaaaaaan , great info but only for people who would understand your accent.

[Aerodynamics123]

hahah how can you not understand his accent? u must be severly retarded.

[carantgarmac]

Wow sir, you play and sing awesom, could you share the tabs and chords with me?? i cannot play it that well

[blujufirst]

Fair Dinkum cobber! couldnt make out half of what you were saying mate, but it was still a very good lesson, short sharp and to the point. Your not Justin Sandercoes old man,are you by any chance?

[kitazan]

He is definetly a Kiwi mate fair dink he use to play with a Kiwi band called the Warratahs Aussie tree, Kiwi band

[Daionisio]

Thanks so much! Youve just helped me play my first (real) song.

[dasse13]

[rosaliemartha]

Thank you.

[barrysxxxgirl]

Fantastic!!!.

[adam5k106]

Thanks for that mate.... really helpful! :-)

[min8989]

[superduperbri]

[chelsapao]

thank you!

[markmckaytnt]

im just learning guitar and your lesson is most welcome and well put across. thank you so much Mark

[lachrise83]

nice!

[JMitch150]

will anyone help me out and tell me wat the strumming pattern is for each cord?

[wildflowers323]

On the record he plays it just straight down. over and over, eighth notes. The "next level guitar" instruction thing is a bit easier to understand. He goes over everything. I got it in about an hour sooo... yep. It's in the related pannel off to the side. :) First one, I beleive!

[warrax111]

You are good dude! I like your version.

[rgbrock]

Hi, Just to let anyone who is learning this song know its not an E its Amaj7, just drop down the middle finger.

[celtic135]

thats not it look at the other vids

[Vickie007]

dude you rock thansk so much
