Guitar Lesson by Vampire Weekend on Q TV

[@benlafond753]

And during the chorus, u don't have to worry about anything, cuz there's no guitar. Chill out, relax, you don't even have to do anything for the hey hey hey part. Roughly the most inpirational quote for a stoner right there

[@shania5305]

Add 1:33 he's play 5th fret high E and 7th Fret of the B string. Then he bars the 5th fret on the B and E strings. Lastly he goes back to the shape we learned at the beginning which is 2nd fret high E and 3rd fret B string. (For anyone who need help with that part) 😜

[@Skat9]

@Bingus Khan I think it's a girl, bruv...

[@TheCrkelley]

i like how patient and reassuring ezra is. He could teach me anytime. :)

[@fatalwin]

I hate when my bad strumming turns this song into Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa.

[@xMeAndMyMusic]

haha i loooooooooove how he says; I dont know if we should even talk about the notes. he's fantastic, gorgeous and adorable.

[@mycargoesvarun]

imagine him being an 8th grade english teacher again. he'd do a pretty damn good job even now, as evident by this video

[@nydeco]

Totally cool that you gave this lesson. Thank you. Great song, great band, and you are, obviously, one amazing individual. Rock on!

[@Chameleam]

I like the way he says "shape".

[@astoit1323]

Look at the transcript every time Ezra says "shape".

[@Francessxx]

Omnomnom. Him and that guitar, woah

[@sturusk3620]

Very simple but elegant.

[@chalkhills]

Not only is he gorgeous and talented, he's a good teacher! : )

[@jasleenbrar5673]

[@virginiasnow123]

[@Tshirtguy2020]

Love Ezra

[@Ashbosh]

[@RonB999]

@Cjarreola93 just try concentrating on only strumming those two strings. It shouldn't be too hard.

[@monkeyguitarist]

Serena Ryder, The Swell Season, Vampire Weekend... Why Q TV always have the greatests artists around ? ?

[@cannabisally]

[@Try2mod]

@TheEmoUte you misspelled misspell lol

[@oceanicpears]

[@Lolilillisjdjdhddj]

He was an English teacher before vampire weekend. It really shows

[@welookedlikegiants12]

He is just so cool. :]

[@alejalalita]

oh good God, a guitar lesson turn me on... Oh, you Ezra...

[@thisisthegloaming]

yeah you can just try and mute it with the finger that frets the b string

[@Cjarreola93]

How do you strum this without hitting other strings? I got the notes down except for the strumming part. =( Great tutorial though =)

[@alicemargaux]

@TheThrillington you messed up "Koenig"... twice...

[@crittlewho]

i think i would be less interested in learning the guitar to this song and more into jumping his bones

[@plectrumKing]

[@heybej]

[@TheRaveenaTV]

this is so easy and he is perfect aaaahhhhgggg

[@cultcrush]

I still don't understand how. Private lesson with Ezra anyone? ;D

[@tmtulmm]

@hmmmX3 "LUCKY!" [Said in Napoleon Dynamite voice...lol] :)

[@15graciegrace]

yes he is

[@The1EyedDoughnut]

1:55 I think i'll just walk through here and pick up my water...

[@FrannieBannanie18]

0:34 okay, that's cool.

[@TheEmoUte]

@VampyWeeks4ever you miss spelled "spelled" haha

[@Johnsan9]

what are the tabs?

[@RonB999]

I learned this on guitar by myself a few years ago. I guess I've been playing it wrong this whole time : (

[@dialaname]

@rss313 Well sorry to bust your bubble, But do you perform in front of thousands of adoring fans at glastonbury? Do you currently have 2 number one albums? Do you even have any hit singles? His songs may be simple, but they are catchy. He's not going around screaming he's the best songwriter around or the best guitarist. He's a chill ass dude who actually won at life and you hate him cause you can't stand the fact that you might be better than him at guitar but he's at the top..

[@cosmicheather]

omg what is his accent it's hot and I wouldn't mind him being my guitar teacher~ although I do like the one I've already got /coolstorybro

[@xopandaloverxx8]
