[swingfire19]

@Klagho Thanks! And I hear you. I just can't figure out how to make tabs for the slap picking part.

@WolvesDen25 Wow. No one is disagreeing with you. Cool your jets, Starsky. I'm not going to call it "John Mayer's Tom Petty's Free Fallin' Tutorial".

[Phoenixwright1231]

Can you do a cover of this song?

[Facepalm9779]

man your videos are awesome we want more of'em . . . and i agree that u should use tabs =)

[imprezzi]

Yeah I have to agree with the comment below. It's really important to emphasize the base structure of the chords and how the finger-picked intro uses elements of it. For beginners like me: It still goes Dmaj, Gmaj, Amaj. It all goes off of that. Good video though, otherwise.

Sorry but It's gettin pretty annoying when I don't know how your holding your chords.. and It doesn't fit the descriptions when I search for it..... Would be nice if you added the "chords" (how to hold them). In the video! :)

+ I'm tierd.. could be that?

[Kongstad24]

It would be really cool if you added the Chords and finger placement in text form over the picture when you do it. I really liked your video and learned alot and i think i got like 60% of it down now. But its really hard to see your finger placement on the fretboard at times.

But as anything thats free - I really appreciate your video :)

I really need tab....

[BlackGuysBand]

The hammer off on guitar 2 is in the wrong spot, should be at the ( G ) chord before the chord with the open B and G string. Also, I'm not sure if he uses the high E string at all. I can't hear when it's added, or see him use a full D / G chord in the video. Still a very good lesson though, thank you!

[homereatsdonuts]

This is really good! Can I ask you though, when you do the A, do you just use your index finger to cover the strings or do you place your index finger on the D, your middle finger on the G, and your ring finger on the B? Because I find when you do the trill it sounds different depending on which way you do the A. I was just wondering how you were doing it because I can't quite make it out from the video :)

[loverorloser]

what kind of strings are you using?

[KillinDaWelfareMCs]

@guitarvinity1 bullshit.
