Guitar Lesson: How To Play Pearl Jam's Black - Campfire Edition!

Others, including myself, have shown you how to play the "easy guitar chord" version of Black by Pearl Jam. In this video you will find more doot doots and noodly doos that I strive to include in my campfire versions. I hope you enjoy it!

All your lessons are awesome, but when you do a Pearl Jam campfire it’s even more awesomer. You know the originals so well it’s fun watching you truly enjoy yourself campfiring them. Always fun, always helpful

[@RyanLendt]

thanks buddy. how are things in the future?

[@The_sinner_Jim_Whitney]

I think you meant more gooder. And yes, it are.

[@Aenimus1984]

I stopped playing guitar 5 years ago. You made my day, great lesson, I´ll start playing again today

[@RyanLendt]

:) an honor

[@GerardoHernandez-kw7eb]

I was expecting a good tutorial, but this one is a piece of art

[@RyanLendt]

too kind friend

[@mtichris12]

I love his tutorials. It's great for people who play. It's like here's the parts, you're only here cuz you know the song, and you know how to play. Have fun. Perfect for me

[@b.elzebub9252]

I've been playing guitar off and on now for a couple years. What always brings me back to picking it up again are your videos. I always feel like I come away with some new insight and a new enthusiasm from every video, and I just get that itch again to go and practice a new song. Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to make these wonderful videos!

[@RyanLendt]

the guitar may spend time in the closet, as long as it comes out eventually :) thanks for your kind words B

[@andrefalkao]

Impressive how can you still surprise us with "simplifications" of this legendary tune with so many tutorials available without losing its singularity. Congrats to you and lets continue praising your talent and dedication to these videos :) thank you once again

[@RyanLendt]

why thank you andre - always my pleasure :)

[@klyemudrock8868]

Another gem that goes right into my song lesson playlist. Appreciate all you do Ryan

[@RyanLendt]

cheers Klye.

[@AngelJul]

Maaan... So much info in a single video! Love it, as always! Beautiful song, and a super cool lesson! Thank you my friend!

[@RyanLendt]

cheers angel :)

[@fihtah8243]

i've been practicing this for about 2weeks now and have nailed it. i will carry you on my shoulder through the gates of music heaven ryan. you're the boss.🙏

[@RyanLendt]

good work friend!

[@taylormade17]

this was and still is my fav from PJ. we played this so much as a tribute band called No Code up in Ontario, thx 4 this one Ryan

[@RyanLendt]

i played in a tribute band called riot act in the bay area - wayyyy back before being in a pearl jam tribute band was cool. some of our vids are on youtube somewhere...

[@curtolin7170]

Thanks Ryan, one of my favs and super easy to play. For the folks that just want to strum along during the intro, they can play a D shape on the 4th fret and then another D shape on the 9th fret.

[@martinc5118]

Really fun and helpful Ryan, your videos are great 👏👏👏

[@RyanLendt]

thanks martin!

[@WildChuco]

Thanks for your lessons. Enjoy the camp fire simplicity and the style of your lessons.

[@RyanLendt]

thanks for being here friend

[@garethroberts6988]

One of the best ever YT lessons! Must admit discovered this by accident (thinking Ryan's done a few Black lessons) but really like how you throw in the tangy notes!

[@SimonH77]

Another gem of a video. I’ve been trying to figure out the do do do dooo do doo do do bits down there for a while but kept hanging on the C for it like you did as couldn’t figure out the next bit! So thank you Ryan. As always you make it look so easy lol. Also I use use your original the proper/ for real way of playing the intro and first verse bit on my acoustic. I’ve still learnt a lot from this video though so thanks again.

[@RyanLendt]

my great pleasure Simon cheers :)

[@brysonz]

[@martina.8718]

Haha - this is a refreshing one. It seems like you recorded it one-shot on a Sun morning, but you certainly knew what you wanna show us. Very useful and exactly what I needed. Cheers!

[@RyanLendt]

generally how I roll :) thanks Martin.

[@titep1329]

[@Idbuythatforadollar9]

My favourite Pearl Jam specific Internet celebrity does it again!!!!!!!!! Cheers

[@RyanLendt]

cheers!

[@songsfromthecanoe]

To be canoed, most certainly :) That throwaway pinky finger C-note of Stone's is just such a Stone moment. Hardly makes a difference and yet makes all the difference. And now you've open chordified it to great effect :)

[@RyanLendt]

i'll never get over his switching from E to E

[@neiladdison4457]

Love it, as ever! Thank Ryan🙌

[@RyanLendt]

yeehaw!

[@maximilianoarielmartin6608]

[@adambutlerltd]

Great work champ

[@RyanLendt]

thanks dad. (in the 1950's sense of the word)

[@masonaka47]

Dude you’re awesome!!!!!

[@schifhappens]

I was listening today to the Ed concert from Las Vegas (1st Nov 2012), where someone on the crowd donates cash to the cause for him to play black, and he doesn't know how to do with guitar so he gets Boom out to do some chords on the organ and manages to get it through. Now this comes up and it just says to me that Ed needs to subscribe here, as the break down with the doot doots and noodly doos even I can (or will at least try) do. Would have saved him on that night in Vegas if he could see this breakdown! Great job Ryan!

[@RyanLendt]

thanks for that Mitch! I find it both hilarious and perfectly logical that it seems the boys know surprisingly little about what the others do in a given song.

[@PoppinSmoke223]

Can you share the link to that video from 2012 Vegas

[@marcf905]

Eddie needs to do alot of things but the first is to stop promoting climate change, it is fake. He goes on and on and doesn't realize he got worked by a corrupt, racist, lying, Democrat Party.. He does have an unreal voice, kinda like Aaron Lewis but Lewis is better in my humble opinion. Happy New Year!!

[@daverinospenceroni]

Thanks very much- this song is the reason I picked up a guitar

[@B04RDER]

Amazing!

[@RyanLendt]

thanks!

[@simondbarnes]

Excellent!

[@RyanLendt]

merci!

[@johnlancaster5145]

Yes! the Em to E is definitely one of the coolest moves - I thought it was just me 🙂

[@papatechie]

Ah man thanks I’ve been aching so long to get this song down! Appreciate all the opinions for creativity!

[@iflyrattraps]

Wow, awesome. Thank you

[@RyanLendt]

[@kvstrickland]

[@deanhambry5208]

That lesson on Black has more “gnash” than anything I’ve seen……really cool lesson mate.

[@RyanLendt]

hehehe

[@christiansoleta7556]

Great lesson! Hope you do my vote for The Toadies "I come from the water" (please)

[@RyanLendt]

Great performance I'm from Brazil 🇧🇷

[@RyanLendt]

appreciate you william.

[@jayluikart487]

Thanks so much.

[@RyanLendt]

very welcome

[@nathanricetalks]

Awesome Video! Could any Patreon-Folks maybe suggest you do a version for Jerry Cantrell's hurt a long time?

[@RyanLendt]

thanks nathan!

[@mikeschertzer941]

Not sure if anyone else does this...but for a green belt intro (get it), slide your E and Asus2 chords up 12 frets. Then you can still use the open chord fingerings and not have to worry about more complicated shapes because playing the open strings is fine. I think it sounds better on my 12-string than on my 6, but that might just be the intonation on my 6 string. It's hard to do some of the fancier stuff on my guitar up there though because I don't have a cutout. Can still get that E and A though. Pretty easy to hit the harmonics when you're up there too.

[@patprime7320]

I was quite curious to see if you did the " do do doodoo do" part the same as the way I did. And you did not dissapoint

[@RyanLendt]

we do it much differently. you use your fingers and i use my own.

[@Jack-qv9cb]

Could you do a Release campfire video?

[@RyanLendt]

i think the only good way to play release is the way it's played

[@stefanpohlmann6857]

❤ Cool! thx

[@RyanLendt]

pleasure!

[@andrewreich530]

Could you please do a lesson on Rather Be Home by Eddie Vedder off flag day soundtrack? Love your channel and lessons.

[@RyanLendt]

thanks for that idea andrew

[@vincevaughn2488]

Do you offer tabs of songs?

[@RyanLendt]

Can you do a lesson on In The Fade by Queens Of The Stone Age?

[@moldyjames439]

Hey man I know you probably have a long list of requests but if sometime you could get around to doing a lesson on Tell me why by Leo Nocentelli from his acoustic album I’d greatly appreciate it.

[@RyanLendt]

thanks james for the idea

[@miracle1812]

Please do where I stand by Days of the new

[@StigPrice]

I keep getting asked to cover this because of how my chest voice suits pearl jam songs... so thank you for this

[@RyanLendt]

pleasure!

[@senditffh7919]

Strumming pattern?

[@senditffh7919]
