Hum playing this song on 120 min is the most 90s thing ever.

[@RyanLendt]

[@missplaced369]

Or the Howard Stern Show 🖤

[@jeff7764]

Heavenly droning, endless feedback, pummeling drums and bass. The almighty Hum 🥰

Waited 28 years to learn / find this gem since I saw it play on MTV. Thank you so much, dude.

[@coalcat5417]

Recently got obsessed with hum’s music I’m glad you made this 👍👍

Now that we've dipped our toes in the Hum pond I'd like to request I Hate It Too by Hum. One of my favorites from them!

[@hosebee1529]

YES PLEEZ!!

[@jpicard81]

Hum is highly underrated. Their new album rocks too

[@RyanLendt]

THEY HAVE A NEW ALBUM!??

[@jpicard81]

Kinda new, from last year. "Step into you" is crazy good. The palm mutes in the main riff rock my socks off. Solo is good too. No tabs for it but one on reddit, u should work ur magic on it

[@fuckgoogle8661]

@@RyanLendt they have an awesome new album. It’s called inlet.

[@ttskaff]

Ryan I’ve been trying to make that break down simpler and you just showed me how to dial it in. Thanks!

[@RyanLendt]

woohoo! welcome!

[@Barcodeali]

This is such a great song! i remember the first time i heard this song. it blew me away. i was like 14 years old. it was amazing. thanks for the nostalgia Ryan. def gonna learn this.

[@RyanLendt]

[@cdusty308]

Excellent choice Ryan. Thanks for another great lesson.

[@RyanLendt]

[@chrisw4192]

I remember the 1st time I heard this song grabbed the cd a bag of green stuff and had a moment with this album. Absolutely underrated and beautiful!!! Album

[@RyanLendt]

One of my anthems in the 90s! You sir are righteous! 🤘🏽😎

One if my favorite tunes! Thanks for covering it! :)

[@RyanLendt]

pleasure!

[@motorcyclematthew5741]

Much thanks! Also the open D ring finger on the intro loop sounds legit too!

[@RyanLendt]

pleasure!

[@mitchaelhollingsworth4069]

After the first massive distortion d, when it goes back to clean, it sounds like a clean tone with a chorus pedal, building on the intro which sounds more like a straight clean tone

[@smoshbooz]

Awesome. Finally a Hum song

[@RyanLendt]

:)

[@nelsonw2096]

Well done!!!

[@RyanLendt]

thanks!

[@arottie4097]

THIS IS THE WAY! A fun band to see live back in the day!! In The ATL GA!!!

Another great lesson Ryan... Would love a lesson on "Shelf in the room" by Days of the New :)

[@RyanLendt]

Great suggestion!

This songs great! Can we get a lesson for hums “if you are to bloom” I can’t find any other videos on it PLEASE AND THANK YOU!

[@RyanLendt]

thanks for the idea!

[@MoneyBooBoo]

this song effin rocks so hard

[@RyanLendt]

yep

[@ImNotOld_ImVintage]

Great video and thanks for calling out the software you use. That's something I've been needing to get as merely slowing down playback speed on KZbin doesn't preserve audio quality.

[@RyanLendt]

exactly. game has fallen back into place - 81 and 80 for my last two rounds, including a 36 and two birds in a row, i'm delighted to report.

[@Likeitornot91]

Nice, I've been getting into Hum recently, listening to Electra2000 a lot. They're a cool band!

[@RyanLendt]

indeed!

[@layoung.]

I’ve been holding back, but wanted to say you look so much like my own brothers it’s strange watching. Always enjoyed . You even said his name crazy 😜.

[@RyanLendt]

bananas!

[@nigel7880]

First hit on Goog for the tab from Ultimate Guitar gets the bridge riff right. It's straight 16th notes and the key is the slide from the 5th to the 7th on the A that's one 16th. Nail that and the rest makes sense. Smoke one to confirm, you'll know it be true and your turning to the Stars Side™ will be complete.

[@rhyocarlos2800]

great! ♥♥♥

[@RyanLendt]

thanks!

[@recon_freakon4688]

Wow great song! Never heard of the band until this video! Look forward to checking out more from the group. Huge 80s-90s alternative fan. Glad to have subscribed. What a cool dude! Your are inundated with requests, obviously. But on the off chance. Been trying to find info for “Riding the Nightingale” by Mark Lanegan. Or “Overfloater” 😝

[@RyanLendt]

glad to have you RF - thanks for the requests!

[@brendangallavan3787]

Brilliant! “I have absolutely no idea what is going on”

[@tman55free41]

I like how u explain things u make playing guitar 🎸 so much easier also did u ever check out some of badflower music man

[@RyanLendt]

thanks for that tman :)

[@jpicard81]

Thanks for this. Tabs for it are kinda all over the place

[@RyanLendt]

[@Cabooselover79]

I've looked all all over for who this was ever since I heard it in a Cadillac commercial with Kate Walsh .... that was a long time ago!

[@RyanLendt]

hilarious

[@elrusokow1698]

Make a turorial of hum “shapesifter” please🙏🙏

[@the_art_of_displeases8160]

Ryan, some lesson from Lustre band. Pure 90s

[@RyanLendt]

good thinking

[@fuckgoogle8661]

What about “I hate it too” my favorite song of that album.

[@RyanLendt]

rock on

[@SuperDooDoo93]

What distortion pedal are you using? Great vid!!

[@RyanLendt]

thanks! probably my siren airavata (which I love)

[@stephenbucedi3051]

I know that song!

[@RyanLendt]

good times!!! was thinking of you and scott (not eric) the whole time I was doing this

[@savethedandelions]

there's a band name i haven't heard in years!

[@RyanLendt]

now you won't be able to say that again for years

[@lautarohernandez4998]

Ryan, would you be willing to do "Fix This (Acoustic)" by Nonpoint?

[@RyanLendt]

thanks for the idea LH

[@edgytryhard]

I struggle with the part at 1:22, can't seem to reach the 4th fret with my pointer finger - maybe I'm doing it wrong or maybe my fingers are just too small? 😅

[@marigold4157]

Really great lesson, if I may request I’d like your hair long also by hum :))))

[@RyanLendt]

thanks!

@@RyanLendt 😂

[@reruka3479]

What is skill level required to play this pls?

[@djefferson5669]

Just a suggestion Ryan, but "on screen tabs" and starting the video by showing you play the main riff goes a long way in making your videos attractive for people to learn. On screen tabs just make this so much easier to learn, and starting off your video showing us how you play the songs or main riff lets us know from the beginning if the lesson is even worth watching.

[@RyanLendt]

if I did that it would make my job feel like work

[@djefferson5669]

@@RyanLendt Good luck with that.
