my guitar doesn't sound anything like this? :( and it's in standard d tuning!

[stevefromtheuk]

@gaza404 The tuning for The Great Escape is in Standard E tuning. Top string is an E not D. Thanks for the comment :)

@stevefromtheuk can this tut be used for the acoustic as well?

[stevefromtheuk]

@IROCKOSIRIS its exactly the same but if you want to play The Great Escape Under The Sea, then the chords are G A C D

@gaza404 Your comment is a year old, but maybe you're still having trouble lol so I'll help anyways: the sound has to do with your amplifier mostly, Peaveys usually make a good crisp sound like the one in this video, so I would recommend testing out a few new amps to find the sound you like.

@gaza404 put a cappo on the first fret.

I dont get the chord after the first two chords where you play your index finger on the low string.
