toby thank you very much for this video... eds fingers was anoying me trying to figure out where they where and Im not very good by ear but i have a pretty solid cover of this song all thanks to you... i will responed with a video when im done ^_^ just a minor pick though I think your guitar is ever so slighlty out of tune. I put my capo down to nd fret and you was to sharp when i put it up to rd you was to flat... no dig intended btw

@hixxyspliff I know mate but i wasn't too concerned about it. I just decided to make the video spontaneously for a mate and was trying to get it done before he went on holiday. It's great you noticed though! Thanks for the constructive criticism. It is indeed appreciated! =D

[ReubenSam]

could you please do a response video on how to do the "beat slap"

[TobyMould]

@Everyone Anybody else who would like to request the same, leave a comment. I just like to know the numbers really.

@ReubenSam Sure thing. I had trouble learning how to do it myself but, once you understand, it's simple and really changes the way people view the songs you play. You will notice more people will be impressed by the skill you possess in comparison to other guitar players- who just play the notes on their lonesome. :)

I will get onto it and let you know when it is up!

good lesson m8y!as a noob Ive mastered this song the only problem is when i copy the small bump sheet music several notes are different and it doesn't sound right and i cant get my head round them,it seams like ed is plucking more and his finger position is well different in some parts,this is the next best thing to the original but i want to learn everything and i cant find any videos that show you the original like the sheet music shows you.any suggestions?
