How To Play "Brothers On A Hotel Bed" By Death Cab For Cutie

A couple of viewers specifically asked me to do a tutorial on this amazing song. This is the main part of Death Cab For Cutie's, "Brothers On A Hotel Bed." I spent all afternoon watching doublsh0t's tutorial (Give him credit for learning the song by ear). For my video, I slow it down a bit, and point out each key that I hit. I know the tempo is way off from the original song, but that was the least of my worries. Anyway, enjoy! :)

Comments are appreciated.

man, why not say Ab, and Eb? since its in the key or Ab.... it's a lot easier then "G#"

@Elliot84 I made this video prior to having any knowledge in music theory, so give me a break... man.

You have the perfect voice for telling children bedtime stories. I could listen to it all day.

This song is almost too sad to handle but I'm glad it's so easy to learn. Thank you for posting this. Now if only someone would cover the whole song on piano WITH vocals, then I can copy that video. :)
