hey man, I'm sorry but what is the strumming pattern for the verses? It was hard to hear you at times. i appreciate the video by the way!

[insaneguitarist314]

@HeirOfJezuz except for when you play the intro, it's a down, down, up, down, up strum pattern.

the intro is just a basic alternating strum

What an awesome guitar :) I painted one my self too som time ago, also with completely white 3, 5, 7 and so on, frets :)

[insaneguitarist314]

@Asger17 haha thanks man... I loved painting my guitar because now it's an expression of me and it's unique (:

[Asger17]

@insaneguitarist314 Yeah, same here :) Though, it wasn't because i saw yours i did it, it's just a coincidence :)

[insaneguitarist314]

@Asger17 oh yea, I wasn't trying to imply you were copying me or anything... I think a lot of people paint their guitars and I doubt I was the first to do it

[TTKAiReMiiX]

@insaneguitarist314 could you please make a tut on this song but with

-LIGHT

-A VOICE

PLEASE THIS IS SO HARD TO SEE WITHOUT ANY LIGHT AND UR VOICE MAY BE LOUDER

[pharcyded]

Next time you do a tutorial, either turn on a light and have it pointing at your guitar or face the other direction towards your window, so the sunlight shines in on your guitar instead of casting a shadow. Otherwise, thanks for your hardwork.

u look familiar, do i know u? message me

[Bailthesnail]

probably the best guitar tutorial ever

[avbove38]

definitely need better lighting and much louder. I have very loud speakers on my computer and i cant hear a thing without headphones. other wise good lesson.

Hi thanks for this video. I know this is a really dull beginner question but the hardest bit I find in the first half of this song is the Am7 right in the intro. Do you mesh your index down on the 2nd and 3rd string at the same time? I just can't do that with duffing one of them or the e string. Is there some kind of magic trick? thx
