thanks for the great tutorial I LOVE how you go throught the song :)

BTW:

is it normal for a beginner to have some pain in the wrist when playing power chords? or am i doing it wrong? :)

@rozac155 It's not unusual for it to hurt in the beginning while you're still building up strength, but you should make sure you've got the right posture and rest when it hurts.

There is some good advice in the first results when you Google 'pain in wrist power chords'.

Are you Irish???? Great tutorial!!!! I just started learning guitar for a month and I always want to play this song... At the age of 25 and being a petite woman with small hands make it so hard to playing. I need to practice a lot. X

I'm tempted to dislike the video, just because it has no dislikes.. But gah I can't, it's too good!
