I don't know why youtube results are full of Marty or Andy guitar tutorials, those are awful to learn, you are awesome Ryan, you made it very easy for a beginner like me, I've been working on learning this song for few days to the point I almost gave up, your teaching style is so smooth and catchy I almost cried, thank you so much Ryan

[@RyanLendt]

I appreciate you Syd, thank you for enjoying my videos :)

[@peterwesterman2613]

I think Marty is okay

[@hexxteria2387]

Andy is good, you as you've said in your comment you give up because you're not used to putting effort in which both creators do and you think that watching a tutorial on youtube makes you a guru on the spot, you need to learn more if you want to know more

[@eagles_s]

Theyre not awful. Marty had started pandering too much to the people in the comments who just came to leave sob story comments about how hard it was. He was giving too much time to explaining the fingerings of basic open chords every video, and the solo line instructions would plod on forever. Then he had to pander to the people who insist that he play every song in its entirety to hegin the lesson. He seems to have moved away from that as of late and is more streamlined. I personally dont see the point of the playthru. The guy has thosands of lessons and his accuracy shouldnt be an issue. The best way to learn is to dive right in with as little talking as possible. Ryan does a great job of balancing the witty rapport with the meat and potatoes of the lesson.

[@syduzzamansyd4530]

Sorry I meant awful for beginners like me, and also who is not good with chords' name

[@scotthamilton5]

Ryan, your humor and teaching style is fabulous. Keep up the good work. I can only imagine that life in and around your family is a bunch of fun. Thanks for doing this for all of us.

[@RyanLendt]

haha I appreciate the kindness very much Scott, and it's wonderful to know you find my videos helpful and fun :) Cheers to you!

[@redbaron8989]

Best lesson for this song anywhere! Thank you!

[@edson720]

Almost didn’t watch this, as it was my first song I ever taught myself, which was by ear. Didn’t know about the blah blah blah open string part. Now I do. Thanks man!

[@RyanLendt]

cheers nug!

[@eagles_s]

Songs About Jane was the biggest tease of all time. Great album

[@RyanLendt]

I secretly love that album. but have you heard "myself" by kara's flowers? LMK what you think...

[@TheKidBrutus]

getting my first guitar for my birthday in a couple days, its electric and this is the first tutorial Ive found that does this song correctly. Cant wait to try to play it. Thank you Ryan!

[@RyanLendt]

this is my favorite comment of all time. Good luck KidBrutus! and happy birthday :) when is your birthday? mine is the 8th

[@TheKidBrutus]

@@RyanLendt The 15th. Happy early birthday! And thanks for the wishes, glad I could make your day.

[@davidriel7805]

Thanks Ryan I am really enjoying your videos!! Great stuff.

[@RyanLendt]

thanks david!

[@kenthompson5201]

I chuckle about sell outs. This Green Day album is chock full of power. Is it popular? Hell yes because the entire album is well written and simply kicks ass. This is my first visit Ryan and I just subscribed.

[@RyanLendt]

very well said Ken, I couldn't agree more :) welcome to the party!

[@kvstrickland]

Ahhhh why didn’t I think of that!? We all loved Greenday back in the day... they were pure teenage fun!! Great choice RL

[@RyanLendt]

Why thank you KIC :)

[@bradysmith3400]

Good song. One of the first I learned. Thanks for “selling out” and teaching anyone interested. People who say “sell out” probably have nothing to sell. Hell Yeah, You Wouldn’t Know?

[@RyanLendt]

this comment now makes sense, since I've read your email :) Well said Brady

[@bradysmith3400]

If I could learn it on my own, I would. Just like my Lisa Loeb request. Even my tin ear knows it’s wrong. Strumming is not too hard for me, it’s the right(or close to) notes I really struggle with. Anyways, just suggestions. One day, I hope to teach also. And, I’m happy to say, you have helped me. I’ve been idle and since, trying to get back, being so nice and patient is a real gift. That has helped me more than I can say.

[@bradysmith3400]

You’re one of the best teachers. Let’s get more complicated?

[@bennymcgehee3305]

Thanks. Alot of other KZbinrs did play this alot differently like some skiped the open strings you played in between chords in the beginning. Anyways thanks this helped me understand better

[@RyanLendt]

I'm very glad to hear that :) thank you for tossing us into green day!

[@chrismarle959]

That was the easiest learn yet, took me back to when I was 14, Longview was my favorite. Would be good to do some early doors Offspring as well, Self Esteem anyone? Great lesson Ryan, as usual.

[@RyanLendt]

Self Esteem! Love playing that song :) thank you Chris!

[@pjbsailing]

I was doing the solo all wrong! What the hell man. Thanks for the tutorial. You know, its hard to "unlearn" a solo.

[@RyanLendt]

well, at the end that's how I teach the kids. it's really on both the G and B strings higher up the neck

[@benmitchelmore2996]

Really good tutorial Ryan thanks 🙏🏻

[@RyanLendt]

My pleasure!

[@ryanlinderman1700]

Awesome classic that is not out of reach for a noob to shred on - Thanks!

[@RyanLendt]

cheers!

[@ChrisMedici]

Talk about timing, Ryan - Dookie was recorded 25 years ago (Sept-Oct 1993)! One of my favorite albums. Bands like The Ramones, Green Day, among others, showed me that playing guitar was within my reach plus the songs are great! A lesson request, Ryan: I'll Stick Around by Foo Fighters maybe for a future Throwback Thursday lesson...Thanks!

[@RyanLendt]

For the record, I consider anything made after 1991 VERY CURRENT :P Definitely yes for I'll stick around :)

[@ChrisMedici]

Excellent - thanks!

[@tonym7051]

Loved this!

[@RyanLendt]

I'm so very glad to know this :)

[@nesta8518]

Well done mate! You have great song choices and teach really well. I appreciate your work

[@RyanLendt]

cheers Scott, I really appreciate the kindness, thank you :)

[@SLIPKNOT4LIFE69]

Thanks for explaining the strums between the chords i think I get it now

[@RyanLendt]

my pleasure CDS

[@emilpr8119]

Coming Clean from the same album would be great!

[@RyanLendt]

YAAAAAAS

[@itsjroses1591]

Thanks for this lesson I was having trouble understanding the strumming patterns

[@RyanLendt]

thanks for stopping by ITJR :)

[@caldwell9-0]

the solo makes me think of the piano bit on closeing time, y'know that supper overplayed song that you can't escape.

[@RyanLendt]

haha yes it does!

[@Aryanof99]

Green Day is great, you are too!!

[@RyanLendt]

I agree with you on one count, and my mom enthusiastically agrees with you on the other :P Thanks mate!

[@redstonepick]

Very easy to follow, thanks! suggestion: smashing pumpkins (1979, Tonight Tonight)

[@RyanLendt]

yes to both! Thank you Fyre :)

[@jeimy6377]

You can also play a minor version of the E on the verse and it'll sound great :)

[@RyanLendt]

you gave away my secrets a day early :P

[@vegasdad]

Also, Adam Levine at the Howard Stern Birthday bash. One of the best Purple Rain renditions You’ll ever see.

[@RyanLendt]

say what you will about him - he can hit those high notes

[@RaffLagatta]

Question. If we're only playing power chords and we're not going lower than the low E, why do we need to detune one half step? Couldn't we just play everything up one fret? A few other Green Day tutorials say to do this too so this is why I'm wondering. Thanks Ryan!

[@RyanLendt]

you can't do the solo quite right in standard (the way i taught it anyway - it's actually a little different but i like this way) and since all of dookie is a half step down I prefer to honor green day's preferences. But yes, you go right ahead and do that, you have my blessing :)

[@RaffLagatta]

@@RyanLendt thanks Ryan. Yeah, I remember the first Green Day power chord song I learned was Oh Love and even tutorials for this say to go down a half step but the entire song is power chords and you don't go lower than the bottom E. So why detune? Grrr. But yeah, if there's more going on in the song then yeah by all means.

[@JustinTaylor1098]

I forgot to ask if you could put Babe I’m Gonna Leave You by Zeppelin on the list please? I’ve also forgotten if I have already requested it, sorry if I have.

[@RyanLendt]

heck yeah brah. I hate it when people say that.

[@JonahCheadle]

Dude you would help me alot if you put out a paper lanterns tutorial with the solo im dying to learn it please put it out

[@RyanLendt]

thanks for the request JE

[@patprime7320]

Not sure when they would have sold out. I mean sure their sound has changed, but not a ton. The production got a lot better but that comes with more money. Also seems silly to want someone to write the same music they did when they were 18 when they're almost 50. ANYHOO...coincidence as I was just listening to Dookie this morning! Amazing what this guy can do with power chords. If you're gonna do Green Day I'll throw a request for a "One of My Lies". My favorite of their catalogue.

[@RyanLendt]

i mean, some folks view a progression towards pop as being less tasteful. It's all subjective. I personally enjoy poppy music to a point. For instance, I think Train went way overboard with it and now they are crap. That's my personal opinion of course, but their are probably more popular than ever before, so I'm sure they are happy. Matt Nathanson (one of my faves but I'll never admit it) is about as poppy as I like stuff, and his new album just got a smidge more poppy... which has me worried about his next one. I hope he puts the brakes on. Anyway, green day started out miles away from pop so even their progression has left them FAR short of Train, and like you said, a lot of it is in the production, which, who knows whose decision that is for them. I happen to love playing any and all green day. LOVE. I'm glad to see this video was received with open arms because there are tons of their songs that are an absolute riot on the guitar. To make a long story short, thank you for the second green day request!

[@patprime7320]

@@RyanLendt Agreed. I do think Kerplunk was pretty poppy though. Really just 1039 Smooth..Dookie and Insomniac feel less poppy. The rest of their albums I always felt leaned more towards a more pop sound. Which like you I do not mind at all! Though you can go too far, the Last Weezer album (Pacific Daydream) heads way too far in that direction for me (the first time I can say that about them). Regardless go "Green Day" they were my second live show ever (even got me on MTV crowd surfing..well falling) so the more Green Day the better as far as I'm concerned. Nimrod has some absolute treats to play.

[@abrymer4127]

Pat Prime YES! I don't know why but I always come back to one or my lies. Begged a guy I knew in college to play but he wouldn't. Now I'm trying to learn guitar and hope I'll make it some day. Ryan. Thanks for the video. Make one of my lies, please. I have the tab book but it may as well be Greek at this point in my playing career

[@douglaschristine8387]

How you doing Ryan? Can you play She gathers rain by Collective Soul, thank you.

[@RyanLendt]

fun request Doug thanks!

[@gymbo3968]

Not a fan of Green Day but this is useful for my palm muting and power chord practice... believe me I need practice!! Cheers

I read about Karas Flowers years ago. I know they were still using that name when they went to Five Towns college(Long Islands poor mans version of Berklee)Im listening right now(picture first time reactions). Very Britpop with that M5 funky bass/Guitar. I like. Kara and Jane made great Muses. Thanks! Now how about the Toad Sproket lessons......

[@RyanLendt]

Myself is definitely on my top 10 non pearl jam songs favorite songs of all time list :) the album is good but gets a little repetitive. I like soap disco too.

"Bother by stone sour" Please 🙏🙏

hehe definitely one of these days!

Any, one for the razorbacks?

[@Theengalu]

@@RyanLendt it's on kerplunk. The solo does not have a good lesson anywhere.

[@mlgshark472]

Is he strumming all the strings??

[@RyanLendt]

usually, however muting the ones without fingers on them

are you suggesting to me that E is major in the key of G?

Kara’s flowers 🌸 Hee heee

did you check out the song? its maroon 5, but not crappy, totally bizarre!

[@kvstrickland]

Yeah better before multiple producers and execs ruined them

[@stevenw5955]

The solo is completely wrong dude.

[@peterwesterman2613]

Billie might’ve done it differently and he saw him do it that way or he did the solo by sound

[@RyanLendt]

billie does that end bit on the GB strings, I like the open E string ringing - I reverted to my preference in a fugue state :)

[@Alpah-77]

This is completely inaccurate i know because i watched their concert in Chicago 1994 10 hours a day 7 days a week and practiced what i saw for another 4 hours i wouldn't even let my dog watch this because of how inaccurate this is compared to Green Day themselves

[@RyanLendt]

you let your dog watch videos?
