Learn to Play Volcano by Damien Rice Guitar Lesson How To

I NEED YOUR HELP! Hey everybody, I need you to help me come up with songs to cover soon. I found someone whom I hope will do some singing for me, and I need some help choosing songs. Any acoustic songs will do, but don't restrict yourself to only those. If you know a good song, let me in on it, as we may try to take some songs and make them into pieces that would fit well with the acoustic. Just post here on the video!

Anyway, on to today's lesson. We're checking out a song by Damien Rice called "Volcano" (an excellent version of which can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=259uK-4OqWA ) In this lesson we'll cover a few barre chords, a couple of licks, and the ever-present Hendrix grip, only this time it'll be a full 6-string grip (a little tougher!)

I hope you enjoy the lesson, and dig in!

I find when I am playing this song I tend to slide my thumb with each note from the 4th to 5th fret when playing aminor and then hammering the first fret on E when playing F major. Don't know if anyone else uses that but its easier for me instead of hammering g string on a minor. Btw great video. Been trying to play by ear but this cleared it up. Thanks!

way too long and drawn out for such little material. couldn't hold interest in it, ended up learning by ear.

I am very new to guitar. I couldn't quite catch the strum pattern. Would you mind telling me what it is?
