[@Mr.Bailleux]

This feels like a friend teaching me. Yes, the lyrics he makes up are great.

[@oliogarchy]

[@MrEastwood65]

Just amazing, way better than any tab I could find online. Cheers!

[@kristosowl9357]

Your playing and singing are beautiful, and your teaching allowed me to start enjoying playing a much better arrangement than my botched one! Thank you!!

[@rcjdpt]

Great tutorial on a great song! You have a great voice!!! Hope I can play and sing it as well! Thanks!!!!!

[@janemartin2416]

Thank you. This is great... You sing and play beautifully!!♥

[@ianhayes8832]

Thank you so much for this. I can't put into words what this song means to me, and now I can play it to my hearts content

[@purepakable]

really good cover thanks! But for those struggling with the barring of the 3rd fret (its a tricky chord shape), you can tune your bottom string back to standard E and fret the bottom string (3rd fret) with your index finger and creating a sort of A chord shape with your remaining fingers underneath, also on the 3rd fret. The modified F/C Chord at the end can also be played quite easily by just moving that bottom string down two frets again!

[@coopdaloop07]

thanks man! i was trying to learn this song by ear for awhile. first i figured out a way to play it with no capo in standard tuning then i found out about the kapo 6th fret by watching vids. I had a feeling it was in a different tuning because i was playing these chords the same way people on these vids were but it didnt sound right lol.. crap was driving me crazy!! but thank god you made this video... i almost gave up on learning it haha kudos!

[@elimarr17]

hey - lovely playing. can you come back and revisit this song? maybe with the chords displaying, and strumming pattern, along with a breakdown of when to sing?

[@un-enlightened]

I finally found the right progression for the "but sean don't.." part! that C and then Bb. thank you!

[@brennanbennett1393]

I think that your Shawn don't get careless sounds better than what other people do. Very nice tutorial by the way!! This helped alottttt!!

[@fersen3]

Thank you so much Doron for this tutorial , I needed you to help me play this beautiful song. Again a big "MERCI ! " from Paris.

[@neonwolfstudios]

Hoozah. We now dub thee super-cool-protector-pants of all the little Fleet Foxes around the globe. *plays guitar with might*

[@archie9505]

Thank you! And Merry Christmas! 😉

[@MrPenguinFingers]

I know you don’t really need the lyrics, but at some point you must have realized that “In the quivering forest, I’ve been doing my grandfather” is uhhhhhh

[@cowboytekk]

last time i was at a bon fire evry other person was like " do you know how to play ""Blue Ridge Mountains?"" NO,NO I don't.....but now i do:)

[@soapybestie]

You're my hero right now.

[@TheSwali]

thank you so much my good friend. you've brought happiness into so many people's lives for doing this hah

[@SyntagmaStation]

really good, man. really appreciate this lesson. it sure sounds right.

[@leafbeaver]

He even says he doesn't know the lyrics. I think he did a good job not knowing the lyrics... still hilarious though.

[@jacobmoore7527]

I love this band and this song. thanks so much for the tutorial keep it up!

[@SnakeyJakob]

Could you make a video explaining the strumming pattern?

[@t8br00k36]

[@WheelThing-dt4kf]

I'm finally doing this one, dammit. Thanks Doron!

[@GabrielCutrim]

Thanks for the help, mate!

[@danieldominguez7684]

Awesome video

[@whetherman01]

Did you figure this out by ear? You did a fantastic job of teaching this tune.

[@vahidaRehman1]

[@jezzatakla]

[@TheIinInterconnectedness]

[@youviewme]

really good. Much appreciated!

[@MichaelAyden]

Wonderfully done my friend :)

[@raffaelstritzel6285]

great tutorial, thank you very much

[@lvanhulst]

It is just a double Drop-D. Tune both E strings to D and capo the 6th fret

[@coman91]

How did you learn the chords? Only by listening to the songs/watching videos? Or do they have sheet music? Thanks a ton for posting this btw, VERY helpful.

[@TheChristinemp217]

perfect, i got it so quick much thanks~

[@gavinkeller8271]

Lmao 6:08 I was... dodoin my grandpa

[@abrildel85]

Very nice ! Thanks !

[@gastonlefkovics]

thanks a lot man!!!

[@Julia-pn2xh]

What is the strumming pattern?

[@oliogarchy]

Btw, I meant that good naturedly! Those lyrics are true gems!!

[@baronmorris]

is that a carbon fiber guitar? it's sweeeet. :-)

[@zoozercattacrezooz4646]

Great work, ALTHOUGH🤔I got confused on the chord before the a minor right at the end... you said it was like a g minor?

[@Kazzintuitruaabemss]

thanks bro

[@MesEnigma]

Thank youuu! :D

[@moegreen77]

Ah ha! Ah ha! Ah ha! and thank you! Well taught.

[@danielkantor3429]

thank you man :з

[@cajetanfeldkamp2259]

Hey brother we have the same guitar.

[@xsadsappysuckr6710]

the lyrics make the song

[@altwilzu5149]

I dropped both to D, but it sound like my D's are a bit higher then yours, so the song isn't working. Does someone know what I'm doing wrong?

[@Matiyanezc]

5:01 its a Am chord :D

[@IOIOIOIOIOIOIOIOIOIO]

It sounds perfect, but it would be perfect for us noobs if you took just a tiny bit longer at the beggining to explain how to get the tuning right

[@alvinsalo5292]

Anyone know the strumming pattern?

[@tomtube155]

D D - UDU sounds pretty good, not sure about the second part though

[@MammaTuta]

D-D D-U-D-U

[@steve0sheetz]

@@MammaTuta @alvinsalo first D is a bass, second D is a chord strum

[@vander1009]

What kind of guitar is this??

[@georgebyrne9324]

Capo should go on the 6th fret here. Great video though

[@jadeedmundson5715]

No, because as he mentioned, he has all his strings tuned down a half step, which means he needs to capo up a half step, which is one fret;)

[@lenejaV]

I don't have a fuckin capo!!!

[@negoblle]

jealous

[@sidneysmith3426]

*insert makeshift lyrics here*

[@beaudupre2804]

What strum pattern are you using?

[@IOIOIOIOIOIOIOIOIOIO]

Because it doesn't sound right to me -_-

[@xRainbowMangos]

@IOIOIOIOIOIOIOIOIOIO

[@samuelsmith6468]

bruh this is tuned like a half step too low edit: wait you specified

[@ivycee]

if you didn't completely butcher the lyrics, this would be perfect haha

[@eseXD1]

Thanks bro!!
