  • what model taylor is that?

  • @GibsonDude900 414ce

  • where did you learn this?? ear??? tab??

  • I watched a bunch of videos of Aaron Lewis playing at his live acoustic shows to get the basic chord progression. Then I picked around by ear until I got that right.

    Intro/Verse = A, C, G, D

    Chorus = Am, C, G, D

    Bridge = G, D, Am

    There are some variations in there, but that's the basic structure.

  • Are you in standard tunig?

    Thanks.

  • @Bailynagy 1/2 step down

  • @azb24 the D at the end is thrown off a bit because the lead is playing a standard C behind it. (it's done with the baritone guitar in the song - I think). Right after the G in the chorus, using an open C chord and feathering the C note on the B string (off and on) will give you the "change" at the end of each measure ;)

  • I love the intro. It's not exactly the way they're playing it...But I like yours better!!!!!!!

  • If Napoleon dynamite could sing he'd sound like this

  • You've done well. Congrats

  • @azb24 anyway you can give me a strumming pattern to work with???

  • What is the strumming patter??? I have a horrible time trying to figure these out by ear and want to learn this so bad! You are awesome man!

  • wow that guitar has alot of high end twang, but I like it that way, great job

  • Don't let this go to your head (jk), but this is my favorite version on you tube that I've found. The Taylor sound SICK . Very, very nicely done.

  • You got skills bud! Sounds great

  • F***ing Awesome cover bro XD
