Be patient. I'm in the process of finishing this give me like a week

[@fed9931]

this deserves way more likes and views than it has got you've got a way of making instructional guitar videos that works really well with my learning Great vid, 10/10, first I've seen and instant subscribe

[@ryanguitargodfrey]

Wow thank you sooooo much. That's awesome. I only do these to share knowledge. Such kind words. You rock.

[@alexcorll90]

Super clear presentation with the tab overlayed with your playing, one of the most helpful guitar videos and tabs I've seen on KZbin. Having fun learning this song.

[@ryanguitargodfrey]

It was a tough one to learn I'm not going to lie. She's so good

[@se7enthsoul]

Thank you so much for the effort you put into making this video and finding the mistakes in the tab and fixing it for us all. Your work doesnt go unappreciated

[@iDigsGiantRobots]

Yes yes make more! I taught myself the whole thing except for the very last part just by watching youtube videos of her and covers (first song for me on guitar so it took a while) and already your video corrected a couple of things. Make an instruction video fro the rest of the song, please! Nobody else did it! Cheers!

[@ryanguitargodfrey]

That is quite a tough song for a first to learn. I promise I will finish making the video and post it soon.

[@ondigy]

This is amazing! Appreciate peeps like you who take the time to make Videos like these! Really change peeps musical lives in a significant way! thank you

[@ryanguitargodfrey]

Thank you so much for the love. Someone made this request on one of my other videos and I was like challenge accepted and then I listened to the song I had a big swallow. Lol but I took my time and learned it knowing that It was going to help others.

[@DeathSensei]

I listen to this song whenever I need to cry and I’ve been meaning to learn it. Thank you SOOOO much for making this video it’ll bring me a good way to vent.

[@ryanguitargodfrey]

Dude you're welcome so much and I'm so happy you watched. it's crazy man because I'm getting so many comments on this video as of the last few days it's almost like KZbin algorithms started feeding it to people. It's crazy. I don't really have a popular channel so I don't get a lot of traffic. Man I'm so glad that this video helped you and I'm a pretty big dude and I cry all the time. Thank you so much for watching and making the comment. I'll have the video for the second part out in a couple of days

[@anuvette]

Aww thank you so much for this.

[@kelbydurnin165]

This tutorial was rad! Love love love your attention to detail, something a lot of people really miss when trying to learn music. Especially the bit about accents towards the end of the video. All of those little details are what make the song special, and you nailed it. Keep it up, definitely going to browse the channel after this :) Thank you

[@ryanguitargodfrey]

Thank you so much Kelby. Keep rocking and thanks for watching

[@Juxtaposed1Nmotion]

Yes yvette is a genius

[@howdylol]

Such a beautiful song. I love Yvette's work, you should definitely do another tutorial !

[@ryanguitargodfrey]

I will. I'll finish this song with another tutorial within the week. Thanks for the comment. Her style is brand new to me so I hope I did it justice. 😎

[@kond1e]

[@ryanguitargodfrey]

[@LethallFruit]

[@kabeerrajoria]

You are the savior, i just couldnt get some parts from ear as i didnt have the tab, great tutorial. Please upload the rest of the song. 👌

[@guitarmaniac2121]

Best tutorial i've seen of this song. Couldn't figure out the tunings she uses so this was very helpful!

[@crabs.6818]

Spectacula tutorial. Thank you for taking the time. Instant sub! Keep up the great work

[@Beatlesfan151]

Thank you so much for this man! I made more progress after 1 watch through of this than I have since trying to learn this!!! I definitely need a lot more practice but you made it feel a lot more doable!

[@ryanguitargodfrey]

You're so welcome man. There's even a pet 2. Keep it up.

[@keenanocansey802]

Covered it perfectly

[@henka1321]

This has no business being as good as it is - niceee

[@ryanguitargodfrey]

Lol. Thank you. Hope it helped. I even made a part 2 to finish the song

[@davidsonngo9373]

love this video, no crazy over the top explanations muddling the tutorial, straight to the point and succinct. looking forward to part 2 ryan!

[@davidleung3548]

Came here from the Out Loud tutorial and was surprised to see this. You’ve got great taste and great playing!

[@ryanguitargodfrey]

Somebody that likes to watch my Weezer videos asked me to do this one. I really do love everything from Beethoven to Slayer and gain skills by learning it all. Thank you for the kind words and thanks for watching I really mean it. I'm going to do a two-part series on this one. Putting the tab on the screen was the first for me and took a little extra time to do in movie maker. Someone recently told me the out loud video I did was the worst instructional video they've ever seen so it kind of gave me a conscious. Lol

[@Juxtaposed1Nmotion]

@@ryanguitargodfrey lol forget the haters, you keep evolving

[@Zronium]

much appreciated! cant wait for part 2

[@ryanguitargodfrey]

My life got kind of busy and I never did it. I'll start working on it.

Awesome sauce thank you for the comment

[@prestonmeadows5947]

This was a great thank you! Could you do a song comfort zone by boondox I love that song but I can't find tabs.

[@ryanguitargodfrey]

I totally will. 😎 I just went and figured it out. Thanks for watching my stuff.

[@kyh.9791]

Arigato

[@ronnoc902]

I don't mean to but in and correct you since you're the one making the tutorial that I'm trying to learn, but, I believe you made a mistake at 8:41 with the tablature. On the D string (tuned to C in this case), the tab says to play the 4th fret then slide to the 7th fret. During the rest of the tab, you're marking the frets relative to open tuning, which means it should say 8 instead of 7. I confirmed this by slowing the video and watching closely. Otherwise I've been more than grateful for the tutorial. No song is ever too hard to learn as long as you put effort and practice into your passion!

[@ryanguitargodfrey]

Hey I just went up and retuned my guitar to see what you were talking about. At first I thought you were correct but I think my tab is correct. It is definitely confusing with the first fret capo. Ignoring that the capos on the first fret and that becomes zero and the second fret is actually the first fret on my tab and such. Also meaning that 4th fret in my tab is actually the 5th fret on the guitar and the 7th fret on my tab is actually the 8th fret on the guitar. So pretending that the first fret is actually zero The slide actually happens from 2 to 4 and 4 to 7. Which in reality is actually 3 to 5 and 5 to 8. However since all of the numbers are actually n - 1 The tab should say 2 to 4 & 4 to 7. if I'm not making any sense is there anyway we can exchange numbers and I'll talk to you about it. Honestly that would be no problem.

[@ronnoc902]

@@ryanguitargodfrey You're 100% Correct. My apologies about that. I know what happened. I'm currently struggling at this part specifically on my timing with the slides. Im not able to cope with stringing the hammerons on the g and b strings together with those slides on the d string and my brain kept registering the offset of the capo to my dots on the frets. Interestingly enough, only for that specific note. I'd always love to talk about other parts of the song however if you're still interested. That part is solely up yo you as you've been more than generous with your video, time, and response, but just wanted to say that you're probably one of the best instructors on the platform considering the advantage that larger channels have. Shows that while fancy equipment is super nice to have, it's never instrumental to the overall quality of a lesson. No pun intended there! I would even be willing to pay you for some of the time.

[@ryanguitargodfrey]

@@ronnoc902 too kind man thank you and yes I know I need to get better quality recording equipment as my video quality sucks. I make videos with my phone and no I shouldn't be. Hoping I find more followers as I go as I seem to pick up two or three a week. I'm @rytrader4 on Twitter. Hit me up there and you can DM me. I will help you however I can that is no worries at all and not looking to take any of your money man don't even think about that. Even after I get a thousand followers here I doubt I'll be able to make money with this channel because they're really cracking down on copyright videos and all of my lessons are copyrighted because they're someone else's songs lol so in the end this is just all for fun. It's very confusing with the capo and the tablets are trust me I know. Especially since I don't have any visible fret dots on my Takamine natural

[@ronnoc902]

@@ryanguitargodfrey ok, thanks! Follow me @MausConnor so that I can DM you. (you can only dm followers)

[@brianferris1]

Is it a B string in alternative turning? Still confused by that concept. Very good tutorial.

[@ryanguitargodfrey]

So yes you're correct If you change the tuning of the string it totally will become whatever note it's tuned to. However I only speak like this because the standard tuning of the strings are locked in my head and I assumed that's how most other people are too. I'm not a professional instructor lol. I did my best with this when someone asked me to learn it. I know I keep calling something a B string that's totally not tuned to a be so you just have to bear with me while watching the video lol.

[@harlanivester2415]

Great video. Are you uploading part 2 soon?

[@Suhmantics]

more please

[@phobiac281]

In second part (one at 4:00 mins)from a video i saw her play i think shes not playing B(in standard tuning) string like you and sliding 2/3 3/5 5/7 but she plays G(in standar)sliding from 4/5 5/7 7/9 and other part is is same jsut 4/5 5/7 7/5 at least from this video i watched kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4LEn2ali7Gof8k also it looks like (how she plays e and B in first part ) in second part second time insted of playing A and sliding she plays D too could be wrong but it looks like that to me.

[@ryanguitargodfrey]

I really appreciate the addition and the comment. I can only attest to me doing my best and totally doesn't mean I'm 100% correct. Like most music journeys, I bet if I revisited it I'd find something else as well. Thanks for dropping the comment. When I get some time I'm going to check that out

[@Dowdus]

You gonna do the rest? :(

[@ryanguitargodfrey]

I was thinking about finishing it this week. I haven't forgotten about it and just got really busy. Since you sent me this message I will focus on it and put out the video

[@123fimb6]

The tuning from d (standard) to g seems so far away. I wooried my string would break

[@breadsanta6414]

the tuning's facgae. You tune your d string down to a c, it's only 2 semitones. The G string stays the same as it would be in standard.

[@anuvette]

dont tune your d up tune it down
