Taught me how to play a song i’ve listened to for years, thanks Ryan!

[@RyanLendt]

like bein' low

[@imikewillrockyou]

Everyone misses this, and it's critical to the song. When he goes to the third on the electric guitar riff he bends the B string downward almost a half step while not bending the G string which creates dissonance between the notes. It's the little something that makes this song so great.

[@TheMorbidFascist]

Ive watched a lot of your videos. I really appreciate all the extra info you throw in. You do it in a way that it is unobtrusive to the video, still managing to keep everything relevant and speedy. I know this video is 4 years old, but I appreciate you!

[@indeedindeed]

Dude this is fantastic: thanks Ryan. I’ve always loved this song. So cool to be able to play it now

[@RyanLendt]

yay! pleasure.

[@spacefrogmogg]

Would like to say a massive thank you to you. I’ve been trying to learn the picking notes by ear but stumbled across your video. Fantastic tutorial, easy to follow and clear instructions. Well done you! Thanks again

[@RyanLendt]

cheers frog thanks I'm glad that was helpful :)

[@jack-wi2jw]

🤘 best instructor I've seen break down this song. You explain everything in detail. Thank you so much

[@RyanLendt]

I'm so very glad you found that helpful Bo :)

[@johnlagreca6288]

Excellent breakdown. I can hear and apply what a lot of creative guitarists are doing in their music, but this one puzzled me quite a bit. Johnny is interesting for sure. I obviously need to listen to this guy some more.

[@ranfromtheherd2553]

Thank you for all your great lessons . Been working on Someone saved my life tonight by Elton John . Great version starting off with D , G and C , Capo on 2cnd fret . Can't figure out the rest tho . If you ever get the urge that would be awesome . Keep up the great work ! Good stuff .

[@RyanLendt]

thanks for the idea RH - I have been meaning for a long time to do some Elton.

[@D0Nmega666]

Awesome thanks. I love the strumming pattern stuff

[@RyanLendt]

I'm glad you enjoyed that Don :)

[@robynmariehawkins4153]

This one was a fun one I actually learned on my own, love this song.

[@RyanLendt]

definitely one of the funner songs ever, IMO

[@greggaedeke2386]

Luv all your videos brutha, always some good humor Involved. Thx for it all!🎸

[@GuitarN3rds]

I'd never heard of this song before... but after the lesson, I had to look it up.. now I have a new song for my playlist so thanks for that. :)

[@kvstrickland]

Kaname Hoo it’s a fun song

[@RyanLendt]

love it Kaname - cheers!

[@dannyharrington4978]

Great stuff!!! Makes things easy to understand.

[@RyanLendt]

Glad it was helpful!

[@dannyharrington4978]

Yes sir! Keep going, faithful follower here😎👍

[@kvstrickland]

Whaaaaaaaaat 😆 thanks Ryan.... when I saw the title I got excited ..... now doubly so! ✌️❤️🤘 PS headed to Vancouver for work tomorrow... Gona sneak in The Who show..... Eddie did a cameo last night at the Seattle show.... pearl jam adjacent !!

[@RyanLendt]

way way more than PJ adjacent. I really need to dedicate more time to The Who... I hope you've already added Low to your repertoire!

[@kvstrickland]

@@RyanLendt Low got some love from the Jamily... guilty pleasure alert. I'm sure by the time you read this I would of already told you that Eddie did a song in Vancouver last night, Quadrophenia ... the stranger next to me got a half hug...it was awkward.... for him lol

[@tiorio9551]

Yes! I love this song. Thank you Ryan!

[@RyanLendt]

you're welcome in a major way uncle river!

6 minutes of life saving. Forgot I had to perform this tonight! Thanks Ryan

good thing it wasn't Drown Me!

"Hey hey don't you want to go down Like some disgraced cosmonaut". I believe this to be poetry!

[@brandoncalloway8779]

My God thank you for this lesson!!! Been trying to figure this out correctly for years.

[@RyanLendt]

my god man you're welcome! Lovely to hear from you Brandon :)

[@RickyPisano]

Thanks Ryan. Had it down but my strumming was off. Great 🎵!!

[@RyanLendt]

glad it helped!

[@PeteHemdem]

Same as the bassline. Like it!

[@RyanLendt]

one of the better non grunge 90's tracks

[@greggaedeke2386]

thanks teach!

Man I am officially old after seeing this come out of my youth

[@RyanLendt]

i feel compelled to chime in with the cliche you're only as old as you feel :)

[@michaelball7830]

@@RyanLendt some mornings @530am are better than others

[@hotelbravo88]

OK, trying to work on this whole music theory stuff more and more. Even on a simple song like this, it's sometimes hard. Is this actually in G major, with vi chord played major? Seems like it, since the E major seems dissonant and the solo is in E minor pentatonic, G major's relative minor. Am I right, or is this another example of someone just throwing some chords together and seeing what they like?

[@RyanLendt]

Nope - you nailed it chris! Perfect analysis 🤗

[@richs1505]

Amazing teacher!!

[@RyanLendt]

thanks Rich!

[@doobyscooby2970]

Hey Ryan, could you do a lesson on “whale and wasp” by Alice In Chains for the acoustic guitar? It’s seriously so beautiful, and there’s no good lessons on KZbin to follow plus I can’t read tabs that well lol

[@RyanLendt]

thanks for the AIC request Scooby Dooby! I can assure you I'll consider it every time they come up on the wheel of destiny, and it will get done eventually :)

[@dlo2334]

That one takes me back! Hey Ryan can I request "I Will Dare" by the Replacements?

[@RyanLendt]

fun request D Lo thank you :)

[@mrjonnyburkecovers]

Oooh loving your choices. Great song this. Subbed, not sure why I wasn't already

[@RyanLendt]

greetings Jonny and thanks for the shout... welcome to the party!

Love having Kermit along for our lesson

Yes! Thank you for this tutorial

[@RyanLendt]

Any time!

Good job covering it

[@RyanLendt]

thanks friend

[@douglaschristine8387]

Hi Ryan, I haven't heard from you for awhile. How's things in 2024? so far. I just got a Yamaha Revstar element, which is probably the last guitar I buy. So good song to break it in. I've heard this song a million times and just found out the name and band that plays it, not good huh? How's your band getting along?

[@douglaschristine8387]

Hi Ryan, well I came back to freshen it up and realized I returned the Yamaha for a Squire telecaster with humbuckers, really cool. Hey what's the name of your band? Are they on you tube?

[@andrealaureano3251]

I have a perhaps odd request, Ryan- I Don’t Wanna by The Call. I don’t know if you’ve ever heard it before, but you should if you haven’t

[@RyanLendt]

I have not - but I would like to... thank you so much for alerting me Andrea :)

[@andrealaureano3251]

Ryan Lendt oh cool! I would like to know what you think of it regardless of whether you put it on the list or not!

[@azismann]

Ok- how are you getting that tone!? It’s right on. 😮

[@RyanLendt]

usually just with a blues jr and some fairly hot pickups

[@lucretia4925]

Bloody hell ive got this new fender amp and it’s so confusing I’ve got like 200 different preset sounds and I don’t know what one to choose for this song

[@RyanLendt]

hehe. those things are a double edged sword aren't they :)

[@ramoncardona4651]

Good stuff.

[@jonathanburdine4271]

He rocks

[@RyanLendt]

thanks man

[@seansebastiao6475]

Can you teach angel eyes by Jeff Healey from the album songs from the road. He does a cool near the end that I really want to learn. Thanks, Keep up the great work

[@RyanLendt]

Thanks so much Sean - I have placed angel eyes on THE LIST for future consideration :)

[@seansebastiao6475]

@@RyanLendt thanks for the reply

[@jv2781]

Awesome stuff as always! Maybe in the future do Refugee by Tom Petty :) ?

[@RyanLendt]

I think it's safe to say that all things Tom Petty are fair game - Thanks JV!

[@ktrock77]

I gotta un-swing it in order to get that mute which is tough to do on the upstroke

I got a little bit, out of this. You're funny as fuck. 👍👍👍

Lol no problem man

[@mollymaggieandmemollymaggi5189]

10/20/19. Hey Ryan, thanks for sharing that your last 3 videos were demonetized because of a word in your thumbnail. Wow! That’s ridiculous that you were demonetized over that word! Did they demonetize you after the first video or the third video? But a corporation like CBS TV can use that word a bazillion times and their videos wouldn’t be demonetized. I said in my previous comment that I would say a prayer after you used that word in your last 3 videos because I was taught as a young boy in my Catholic teachings that you don’t go to heaven if you do that. Take care, Ryan.

[@RyanLendt]

they curiously did not catch the middle video! It's all that one guy's fault for going into the japanese forest a couple years ago... while that was wrong and shouldn't have happened, folks are too sensitive.

[@RyanLendt]

I mean cause it's not my fault that's the song's title :)

[@jonathanburdine4271]

Damn right

[@RyanLendt]

darn tootin'

[@songsfromthecanoe]

It saddens me that KZbin has flagged the Like Mew-icide videos over a silly word that isn't even that offensive... Now people will miss out on three tremendous instances of good time-ing to be had :( I also bring you a question and a request on this fine Sunday. The question: Is it to be concluded from the absence of a Like Mew-icide Soundgarden acoustic version that it is exactly the same as the electric version? (Or close enough to render a seperate video obsolete?) Specifically the bridge part as discussed via email, I know the rest of the song is the same :) The request: I think you would enjoy tinkering with Chris Cornell's cover of A Day In The Life by the Beatles :)

[@RyanLendt]

I'm glad to report that it's not that tragic - just no ads will appear on the video. I'll just lose out on a few bucks a month. Nothing too bananas :) (depending, i suppose, on the price of bananas)

[@jamesalvarado8793]

Thanks

[@RyanLendt]

Welcome

[@SMart7751]

For some odd reason, Em sounds better in place of E Major. Guessing it’s because it’s the 6th degree of G. I really think this tune is in G Major.

[@KowboyUSA]

About as much fun as you can have without breaking the law!

[@RyanLendt]

AND with your clothes on

[@KowboyUSA]

@@RyanLendt yup

[@JackDenholm]

I’ll be with you girllllllll i like being lowwww

[@RyanLendt]

hey hey hey...

[@TonySlug]

That E isn't a minor ???

[@RyanLendt]

I do believe it to be major

[@TonySlug]

@@RyanLendt Okay. I can accept that. but for some reason in my spaced out brain a minor would make more sense, given the chords, you're gonna have that open G string in the Em, and then in the G.

[@RyanLendt]

@@TonySlug indeed, it is an out of key chord

[@patprime7320]

Oh this has to end up in the guilty pleasure playlist surely

[@RyanLendt]

you know me well :)
