Frusciante is a guitar genius. He’s so original and artistic.

Thank you so much, I checked out quite a few lesson videos on this song, but I think your Tutorial is by far the best one!

Hi Matt, have you ever tried any of The Frames songs (Glen Hansards band) like Revalate or Fitzcarraldo?

[@LetsPlayAll]

Hey Ian, I haven’t but I’m a big Glen Hansard fan, have seen him several times live with his solo stuff and with Swell Season. Will have to check out the frames too!

[@richardbladehartstewart8675]

I was wondering if you had any tips for those of us with a small little finger. Hitting the 10th fret is real hard. Do you have any advice for perhaps adapting or changing the note to help? Just interested to what your thoughts may be. 👍

[@LetsPlayAll]

Hey mate, just play a standard E7 instead so from the A it would be 7 9 7 9. For the top E you can either play the 7th fret or just omit strumming it! Just bar the 7th fret with your 1st finger and add your third finger for 9 on the D and fourth finger to 9 on the B. Same chord just diff voicing. Hope it helps!

[@prowlers]

Wow !! Great !! And I have to record this song, now I will.

[@LetsPlayAll]

Do it Lucas 🤘😀

[@DaveAllum]

Super Duper!!

[@LetsPlayAll]

cheers Dave!

[@raysparks3161]

I just broke a string trying this out, D too which is rare for me, too much strumming attitude lol

[@LetsPlayAll]

haha nice work! means you must be doing it right Ray :-)

[@KowboyUSA]

My girl was already broken when she found me.

[@LetsPlayAll]

Well i think we all are in some way amigo. All part of character development and lessons learnt as we bungle our way through life :-)

[@fax164]

A bit manouche

[@LetsPlayAll]

Indeed, it's that 6/8 feel and jangly-ness i guess!

[@Koman17]

Too fast
