So is this a cover or just a Tribute?

[@joshuanelson7986]

😂 🎉

[@aus-rider]

The title says it lol

[@joshuacumming4132]

You gotta believe me

[@RyanLendt]

I wish you were there

[@danyhocine]

@@aus-rider I don't know if you didn't get the reference or you're just joking but i'll just say this so other people will know : Tenacious D are famous for their song called "Tribute", and no spoilers, go check it out and you'll get the comment above.

[@neilsutherland2857]

Been looking for this version. Thanks from windy Scotland

[@RyanLendt]

cheers from humid north carolina

[@azaraath6450]

First video I see your YT channel! The tone, the instructions, the sense of humor...I love it.

[@ffortner82]

Another fun way to hit that bend: grab your high strings on the headstock side of the nut, squeeze and release. Super easy, sounds all wonky like it should. Don't go crazy til you get a feel for it. If you run lite strings like me you might just cut yourself screwing around!

[@hflugleman8355]

Dude super tutorial!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼I’m like an intermediate/kind of beginner still learning bar chords. I like simple songs as I add it once in a while and it helps me learn appreciate it.

[@Neckoslash]

Always like your videos and I love how you press the importance of learning by ear. Also an inspiration to big handed people who play string instruments! Keep up the good work.

[@RyanLendt]

I do have mickey mouse hands.

[@fenderfox5080]

Today must be a jack black day lol, this morning I watched the AU 60 mins interview with him, then watched the peaches live game awards, and now you got this guitar lesson, it must be a sign I gotta learn from😊

[@RyanLendt]

[@RyanLendt]

Hey ryan. Could you do a lesson on eddie vedders rendition of bruce springsteens - my city of ruins?

[@user-tw5un9jz1s]

I first saw you correctly breakdown Sirens by Pearl Jam, where everyone else was way wrong. Nice job on this one.

[@RyanLendt]

why thank you

[@skeggoxoverland4824]

Yessssssss!!!!

[@patprime7320]

Slash used the neck bend once and the neck exploded. One if the whipping strings sliced right through his lip

[@RyanLendt]

that would have been good info BEFORE I tried it!

[@rickf6375]

Tommy Emmanuel does it all the time and nothing ever happened to him

[@razhua]

Tenacious D?! lol awesome!

[@rshone99]

If you are too "enthusiastic" or persistent with this neck bending technique you can actually pop the entire fret board off your guitar so don't do it with one you care about.

[@old2begin]

Top lesson. And personally I’m here for Tortoise Husbandry with Jack Black 😂

[@RyanLendt]

:)

[@songsfromthecanoe]

Petition for "and we'll see you more time with stuff helpful oh god goodbye" to become your new signature outro :)

[@RyanLendt]

i miss one word and the whole thing goes to Lars' Field

[@luised1799]

Can someone tell me how to play the A chord at the start like that

[@thegreenthumb6134]

Thanks for all the deadly lessons. Can you look into a song by FACE FIRST and song is called Oasis on the Wall. Please 😅

[@michaelstisi4570]

Dude I sent you a message about your way of teaching not only are you easy to follow we have a very similar way of thinking and comedy style . I think we could make good friends I'm not a freak or anything I'm just disabled and don't get out much . So making a good male friend would be awesome . I'm not saying it will be kismet we can talk see how it goes buzz me back . there is something I do want to know I can't remember but there was a show from the 1970 s I presume you may know the show where the guy would hit the bell in a news cast skit or something I think it was Hee Haw ! Its making me crazy you have to tell me come on dude. I don't bite , well anymore lol connect with me !

[@jasonc2376]

Could you just bend after the nut?

[@RyanLendt]

that would still be an up bend

[@userbrentcarter]

Reverse bend.

[@peteryoung9991]

poor bent guitar :-)
