[@fenderfox5080]

Thanks Ryan this is really cool, I love all these old 90s songs

[@RyanLendt]

you misspoke. 90's is current ;)

[@fenderfox5080]

@@RyanLendt 😆, I really wish all the 90s stuff was coming out now, it would get the radio back to something a little more exciting. Maybe someday, one can only hope right?

[@wictortamburi4083]

Omg, I didn't know that he did a cover of this song! 🤔 Nice!

[@RyanLendt]

[@mabo2059]

Short and very good lesson. Thank you Ryan

[@cdusty308]

YES!!!!!!!!! Thanks Ryan

[@brinkybrinkz]

Wow! Just listened to Eddie's version. Very nice!

[@backlom]

I had to first to appreciate the lesson as well

[@brinkybrinkz]

@@backlom Check out R.E.M. Austin Texas you will enjoy.

[@RyanLendt]

Austin Texas means ostentatious

[@brinkybrinkz]

@@RyanLendt Yes it does Ryan lol! You're a wild man. I would love to sit have a couple beers and listen and share stories with you about concerts music etc. It would be cool to see Eddie Vedder and Michael Stipe sing this together. I believe they sang together before on a R.E.M. track. Peace!

[@bryanroutledgetube]

Thing One and Thing Two!

[@RyanLendt]

they can do anything anything anything under the, um, shoe?

[@ImNotOld_ImVintage]

Complicated, but I feel compelled to give it a shot to learn, though I doubt I'll be able to remember it all and play at the same time. Side note: Elizabeth Taylor is sounding quite nice.

[@RyanLendt]

just pluck that Dm however you care to until the fills - and thank you she is blushing :)

[@kevinryan3692]

Thanks ryan👍

[@RyanLendt]

[@felipepinheirobrasil]

@@RyanLendt thank you my hero!

[@brinkybrinkz]

I think the R.E.M. song and video for drive is great. I am huge Pearl Jam fan and I did not know Eddie did a cover of the song. This looks like an interesting lesson to try. Hey kids rock and roll nobody tells you where to go baby! Rock on Ryan!!

[@RyanLendt]

the lyrics are so REM

[@jaspalsidhu9456]

Yayyyyyyyyy!!! Let's go duuuuuuudddddeeeee!!!

[@RyanLendt]

[@richardbladehartstewart8675]

Dude this is awesome… classic….

[@RyanLendt]

cheers my man

[@jamesflanagan3875]

Smashed it again ryan. One of my fave REM songs this and Eddie kills it. Thanks man. Oh have you or could you possibly do a video on Hey jonny Park. I've searched high and low and can only find a couple of sketchy vids. Thanks in advance 😉

[@RyanLendt]

great idea James thanks :)

[@twodogmom]

You did this one before I even had the chance to suggest it. 😎 👍 Peter Buck is the best arpeggiator (is that a word?) in the business.

[@RyanLendt]

not only is it a word, it's a way of life.

[@hunterhass04]

nice song, never listened to Eddie very much, but pretty cool riffs!

[@RyanLendt]

cheers Hsquared

[@GDavis49]

I hope you’ll do Eddie’s cover of Liberace at some point.

[@RyanLendt]

now that's a fun idea.

[@klohr26]

Sweet, didn't know he did this cover. (clears throat....) ya know........ Hitchhiker would sit shotgun with Drive quite well (elbow, elbow, nudge, nudge) ;)

[@RyanLendt]

say no more!

[@Barcodeali]

Hey man can you do a lesson of Eddie V- Skipping thanks!

[@RyanLendt]

[@RyanLendt]

Great suggestion!

[@ronleblanc4518]

Can you please transcribe Eddie Vedders daughter Olivia Vedder "my fathers daughter"?? Please. I think a capo on the 3rd works but I'm missing something. Thank you kindly! There is no lessons on KZbin yet.
