Guitar Lesson: How To Play Mouthful Of Cavities by Blind Melon

[@sergeybrin9765]

"first you open the window, then you note the cats" , actually laughed out loud bro 😂

[@RyanLendt]

:)

[@lorimichelle9995]

This is literally the best and easiest to follow guitar lesson I've ever had. I looked this up just to see if I'd even be worthy to attempt this and I'm overwhelmingly happy with these directions.

[@RyanLendt]

cheers and thanks Lori - good luck!

[@davidmurray2404]

I was on my way just to say this great instructional style at just the right pace with the emphasis on the right parts really made this easier than any other time I tried learning this song

[@brenthinson9114]

Ryan, my hat off to you. A bold choice and a deep cut. Thanks for keeping the spirit of Melon alive and well.

[@RyanLendt]

great to hear from you Brent :)

[@carmelojerome9214]

i guess Im quite off topic but does anybody know of a good website to watch newly released tv shows online?

[@lammaking333]

My favorite blind melon song ! Gets me in my feels every time !

[@RyanLendt]

cheers to that TP :)

[@sameoldtunes7110]

Same!

[@jasonboyce6050]

I cannot express my gratitude for putting this together. I have searched for years trying to find the proper tutorial and there has never been one that I felt was accurate to the actual song. This is it. Thank you so much! Amazing!

[@RyanLendt]

woohoo! glad it helped JB :)

[@chriswollmuth3510]

Any "Toes Across the Floor" by Blind Melon coming soon?

[@RyanLendt]

thanks for the suggestion Chris!

[@ozzyrussell7422]

You absolutely nailed it man, love the way you broke down each section unlike a lot of tutorials

[@RyanLendt]

glad it was helpful :)

[@cross6601]

Could you do Soul One or Sleepyhouse by them? Finding good Blind Melon tabs is much harder than it should be, more tutorials on any blind melon songs would be awesome.

[@RyanLendt]

thanks for the BM requests Tox!

[@kvstrickland]

There’s never a bad time to play Blindmelon ✌️❤️🤘

[@RyanLendt]

especially when it's time to brush your teeth

@@RyanLendt that horse has unfortunately bolted, excellent video 👍🏻👌🏻

[@sk8erz6721]

I'm so excited to try and finally learn this song. I watched the first few minutes and thought it sounded way better than the way I was trying to play it.

[@RyanLendt]

good luck johnny!

[@adambkelly]

Ryan is worth my first KZbin comment ever (I think); he is the absolute best guitar teacher. Thank you, Ryan!

[@RyanLendt]

Certainly worth a reply - thanks Adam cheers!

[@ziggybaker3446]

A major shame Shannon is gone, but their new stuff is still amazing. 🥰 Thanks for doing this! Such a good tune.

[@RyanLendt]

I'm glad you enjoyed that Ashlee :) now go do legumes properly for lunch.

[@daveyhudson3143]

Awesome lesson! One of my favorites to play. I play it slightly different and can’t wait to implement the new things I’ve learned from watching this. Thanks and keep up the great content!!!

[@RyanLendt]

yeehaw! I'm happy you're happy Davey thanks for the shout :)

[@bourdox75]

@RyanLendt I can't believe it took me so long to find this. I asked for it a while ago and you delivered. Thanks for the shout-out and as usual you nailed it.

[@lucasferra431]

"alright today we got some Blind Melon AND IT'S NOT NO RAIN" 😂😂

[@RyanLendt]

😇

[@hashbrown8670]

Can’t wait to finally play this. It’s become a life goal as it’s one of my favorite songs! Great tutorial 🙏🏼❤️

[@RyanLendt]

Have fun!

[@brianhornbuckle9911]

Nice one. I have a request for "soul one" please

[@RyanLendt]

thanks for the request Brian :)

[@chrismarle959]

Ahh, I love a slice of melon 🍉 especially on a sunny spring day!! Thanks Mr. Ryan.

[@RyanLendt]

Happy Spring Chris!

[@MrBlackShadow8]

Yes! Love this album so much. Thanks Ryan!

[@RyanLendt]

you are most welcome MrBS :)

[@enricofugazzi5206]

You did it! Fantastic. I had the verse (a part a little nuance) figured out a long time ago (I play with lifting my fingers from the C), but the central part was always a mystery.

[@RyanLendt]

I was very happy when I saw you had requested it Enrico :)

[@remusgel]

wow! I was trying to learn this song yesterday but couldn't figure it out, thank you once again ryan!

[@RyanLendt]

what timing! thanks for the shout Billy :)

[@Soviless99]

omg i love blind melon!!! they are why i wantsd to learne guitar! pls do more blond melon. i also know this song but youve explained nuances in shannons playing that i did not know how to replicate which ill now incorporate into my version

[@RyanLendt]

so glad to hear it Sov - good luck with this one!

[@Soviless99]

Ryan Lendt ty man!

[@olivebella27]

Thank you for all the simplified lessons. I have learned a lot of PJ and AIC from you. I would love to see some more blind melon, maybe a little “soup”. There seems to be a lack of BM guitar lessons out there

[@RyanLendt]

cheers olive thanks for the idea :)

[@redbeard365]

Anyone: What were the 90s like? Me: *plays this song*

[@RyanLendt]

hehe

[@songsfromthecanoe]

I just gave this tastily tuteled tune a try on Elizabeth the 12 stringed Taylor, and now my earballs are pleased. Thanks for making me aware of this great song, Ryan :)

[@RyanLendt]

had you written out twelve you would have gotten another half point for the alliteration ;)

[@songsfromthecanoe]

@@RyanLendt I'm ashamed that I never thought of that...

[@benallmark9671]

What an amazing song eh folks ! Love the T-shirt brother.

[@RyanLendt]

MLB forever. both the band and the sport :) my student who works for MLB gave me this shirt so it's extra special.

[@benallmark9671]

Ryan Lendt that’s awesome. I few years back I was in a car accident and became a paraplegic and ever since my days are spent lying in bed watching sports and learning guitar. I miss the ball more then anything. Thank God for music though.

[@benallmark9671]

Ryan Lendt there’s an MLB band ?

[@L1VeMu2iK]

This is great! Been waiting for a good tute’ for this song. Thank you! Hopefully you’ll do some more BM. Would love to learn ‘wooh DOG,’ ‘St. Andrews fall,’ ‘soul one,’ or anything other than ‘no rain.’

[@RyanLendt]

thanks for the suggestions L!

[@OIP_1]

fantastic lesson, thanks! one of my favourite blind melon songs. the rhythms are pretty tricky

[@RyanLendt]

thanks friend :)

[@andysheriff7971]

Thank you so much for doing this lesson. Love the 90s!! One request for Toad the Wet Sprocket- Something is always wrong

I love so much this song, I already watched the video twice..

[@RyanLendt]

yessssss!

[@JimmayTheHuman]

Yea more blind melon! Love the band and another great song and vid. Maybe do sleepyhouse for the next blind melon lesson?

[@RyanLendt]

thanks for the suggestion kain nice to hear from you :)

[@itsMBWAAA]

such a god damned good song. YOu may have already done so (cuz I'm just stumbling across your channel and this is 4 years old now lol) but Soup would be another great guitar lesson. Both songs are "how to sound good at guitar in front of people who dont know how to play guitar" songs lol. Many thanks!

[@markwulff655]

OK awesome! I'm going to go find it! Will let you know when I do!

[@RyanLendt]

i loved them as a child, I didnt know what Pusher meant when I learnt it

BRO!!! thx for this

[@aw2367]

And there’s so many awesome easy acoustic ones, the reason I learned to play was the soup and nico albums. Though I’m far from being able to play the actual tune soup lol. Hell and LFaP or St. Andrews fall are fun, life ain’t so shitty, pull, galaxy, walk, the pusher version they do, time, all that I need, wow there’s probably 6-8 more that are great beach tunes.

[@RyanLendt]

thanks for the ideas AW!

[@Sixpoint7five]

Not bad. This is one of those songs where the tutorials are inconsistent across KZbin. I need to know though, how did you learn it? Why my brain keeps telling me "play it exactly like the record or not at all" I will never know, but on a scale of 1 to 10, how accurate do you think you are? You're ridiculous btw 💯 keep it up 🤜🤛

[@RyanLendt]

i remember feeling very comfortable with my analysis. I would bet someone $500 that this is correct. thanks Cam :)
