[@ccarlos_97]

@Henker • vor 50 Jahren x2 is this a coincidence?! 🤣

[@TheGroovyGuitarDude]

Dig this style of video man! Cool to see you sit down and break down how he is actually playing it live, piece by piece! 🤙🏽

[@DerrikRockne]

Thanks man! Appreciate it

[@ariankovax1623]

Groovy guitar dude here!

[@nihalcr]

Trueee!!!

[@bhagmanchanda4215]

OMG !!!! Bid fan groovy guitar dude

[@user-qp5xh9ky4t]

So when are you releasing "down up down up down" because it's a bop.

[@DerrikRockne]

Lol coming soon!

[@olivia.102]

Hey this tutorial format is kinda new and refreshing! Keep up the good work! And please consider doing "102" by the 1975 :D Thank you!

[@DerrikRockne]

Glad you like it and thanks for the suggestion!

[@oscarperez6982]

YESS ANYTHING 1975!!

[@drucullen1931]

102 isn’t that difficult you could see Matty playing it and know what he’s doing

[@magicrobharv]

I agree. Great leson format.

[@graceelizabeth3050]

Yeah Harry first started learning guitar from Niall Horan when they were in 1D. But he’s taken it more seriously during his solo career, but I think he’s done well for a beginner. Thanks for the tutorial. 😁

[@DerrikRockne]

Interesting! I didn't know that.

[@SmoovyNovaFan]

his music grew more matured too

[@alejandraz9351]

@@DerrikRockne Yes!! Maybe you can look for Niall performances, he usually plays guitar in them. Love your videos

[@seaofstrangers7148]

honestly this guy never fails to amaze me on how he can pick up on the chords so easily, i’m just a newbie so maybe that it BUT WOW

[@shureemunden4504]

That's what I thought😮

[@palakdamani9842]

‘She’ by Harry styles has a little more complicated guitar work, you should try that!

[@DerrikRockne]

Thanks for the suggestion!

[@gregbaker3701]

Not my usual type of song but cannot deny how catchy it is and super easy to play. This will be one I bust out for my high school students to increase my “cool teacher” status lol

[@shureemunden4504]

😂❤ a solid plan🎉❤😂

[@coluccijulia]

To play like the original (studio) version the chords are Dm/Am/C/G being: Dm on 5th fret, Am on 5th fret, C on 8th fret and last is a G on 3rd fret (as in major F form)

[@coluccijulia]

You could always use the easier formats, but to sound just like his version you need them all to be bar chords

[@elliekjeldsen8967]

thanks!

[@muhammadrizkiazharialfath1917]

I dont get it? What u mean Dm on 5th fret? Pls explain if u want to

[@alanmatkovic3221]

nothing here bar the 5th fret with your finger and then put your other fingers exactly as an Am chord on the first fret. So 5 6 7 7 5 5

[@coluccijulia]

@@muhammadrizkiazharialfath1917 as in a Bm shape, but in the 5th fret. That is the Dm bar chord

[@sealy999]

“Exactly like he/she does” is what I need not some stupid “easy” version

[@P0wderMonkey]

Hey guys MaRty SwHaRTs HerE.

[@a.n.584]

Sorry for being an begginer

[@eamonmac2751]

Eric Arteaga whats your problem with Marty?

[@P0wderMonkey]

@@eamonmac2751 he plays just about everything the wrong way and substitutes essential fundamentals with bad habits.

[@richman117]

This whole song is like 4 chords, the way Harry plays it is so lazy and easy. The way Derrick plays it is better and he doesn’t use the lazy chords. Like the way Derrick explains that.

[@carleymillette9338]

"he has a cool band" YES HE DOES THANK U FOR NOTICING 🥺🥺

[@user-qp5xh9ky4t]

Yeah didn't expect it to be complicated because he only started learning how to play instruments when he went solo. Niall on the other hand has been playing longer so I would expect him to do something less simple

[@THOMAS2910able]

I doubt he came up with it though , I think he wrote the song with his guitarist Mitch.

[@faizamughal4897]

Can you do some video on Ed Sheeran concerts ..?? His guitar guitar skill kinda cool ..

[@DerrikRockne]

For sure. Ed is one of the artists that inspired me to pick up guitar in the first place!

@@DerrikRockne when did you stary playing guitar?

[@shahil11]

I don't have a guitar neither do i know how to play it but I'm pretty confident this guy is pretty talented.

[@rosieeccles2909]

I’m a beginner guitarist and a huge HS fan and love the guitar sound on some tracks on the new album Fine Line. This was a great tutorial for someone as novice as me! Can you do the song Fine Line next? 😁

[@kaunaosborne8083]

Fine line is really easy... it's just Cadd9 Em G DD UUDU

[@JohnOhkumaThiel]

I had never listened to Harry Styles before, being a bit turned off by his celebrity, costumes, ... but a few days ago my wife was playing random songs on Apple iTunes, this came up, really liked it, asked who it is, and so now I'm a Harry Styles fan. So then I looked up tabs and such for it and they didn't seem quite right, then went to Marty Music. He plays it in a much more advanced way, but that too didn't seem right. Then I watched the same Tiny Desk video and saw they were playing fairly basic chords, nothing like the tabs and Marty versions. So happy I found your video. That's exactly what I came up with, but since it's a whole band I thought maybe I had to either play all the parts into a looper or that Marty's version was best for just me with one guitar. Thanks for showing how easy it actually is. I love the band though. It's very Sheryl Crow like.

[@emmanuel5672]

I dont even play the guitars, but this vid is just so satisfying

[@DerrikRockne]

haha thanks for watching! I appreciate it

[@aimeegrace5886]

I struggle playing guitar because I’ve been taught it so many different ways - music teacher, friends and music classes all taught me different ways - but this makes it so much easier. I love seeing it broken down, it makes it much easier to understand, thank you so much!

[@AscTuber]

This was a fantastic break down for me. I've been playing for 3 months and really appreciate it.

[@DerrikRockne]

Glad you liked it! Hope it helped

[@osomar4029]

I love this videos format. I prefer it way more than the other KZbin tutorials

[@DerrikRockne]

Thank you!

[@taylorsullivan3837]

I just came across this video and I have never learned a song faster. This is such a cool way of teaching! Thank you!

[@stefanl.4067]

Thank you for that tutorial. I love the chilled athmosphere and the calm Art of how you explain Things. Now i am able to Play the Song without any mistake. Thanks!! Greetings from Austria

[@wepranaga]

I like this format where you show how you observe how they play and emulate it. and talk about the details of how that is

[@kylegroninger1566]

Can you do this with the whole set? I would enjoy watching you break down each song and other peoples Tiny Desk or live sets. This was perfect IMO! Thanks!

[@desdermoaner809]

Excellent as always maestro, Clear and concise chords and explanations, cheers

[@pluralisticatheist]

Dude you’re a natural.

[@bikashth8539]

Dude just look at the video for like 5 seconds and he immediately knows the chords, time signature, key, strumming pattern. I can also do it but it takes like 20-30 minutes. I've been playing for a year now so i am not that quick. Thanks for the video man. I appreciate it.

[@DerrikRockne]

Thanks for watching!

[@bikashth8539]

@@DerrikRockne hey man, this is a random question but can you recommend an acoustic guitar at $200??? I would appreciate it

[@DerrikRockne]

@@bikashth8539 hmm...that's a tough one. I don't have a lot of experience in that price range mostly because I just haven't found one I like. If you increase your budget a little bit, the Martin LX1 is a great option. Ed Sheeran played that guitar for a long time. You might be able to find a used one in the $200 range. I really like the stuff Epiphone is coming out with lately too, so that might be worth checking out. Hope that helps.

[@Daniel-do2mh]

Love the format! Maybe at the end of the video try to do a full recap? Like try to play the verse, chorus etc so we know when and how to change the strumming/chords.

[@geoffbronson6035]

Water melon Sugar best tutorial i have seen had me playing this in no time, you was the only person who showed how to play it as it should be played capo on 4th and not 5th excellent please do more

[@kevinsims987]

Derrik, You did great, really showing me that you know your stuff. I had just saw Harry's performance and looked up how he did it....and here you are! I like how you quickly got it and showed us right away. Definitely do these type of videos for popular live performances.

[@nixmix6278]

I love your channel, man. I just discovered it today but I'm glad I did. Love how you analize the songs and your vibe in general. Keep up the great work!

[@max-ex2el]

this format of video is so amazing, i've been working out songs like this for a while now and it was so difficult at first. great work man

[@DerrikRockne]

Glad you liked it!!

[@chrisofnottingham]

My theory on song writers is that it helps if they are not too good on any instrument. Nearly all the best songs can be stripped back to the cowboy chords and capo to get the pitch right.

[@DerrikRockne]

Agreed!

[@TheMarkpolis]

Great tutorial. Been trying to play this song for awhile but you really broke it down and simplified things. Thanks so much!

[@jeremiegraveline4213]

Refreshing tutorial! Very nice i appreciate that kind of tutorial better!

[@EyeWatchU2B]

Hey great tutorial! While it is great to watch a traditional tutorial. I think it's even better when you break down how a version of the song is played in real time by the artist, with the artist. The way you've done this reminds of the importance to watch live performances! So good. thanks again!

[@DerrikRockne]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Niall Horan showed him some stuff while being in 1d but even niall never jad guitar lessons. Harry is better on the piano but I love how he practiced since beginning of his solo carreer on the guitar. (I'm really really sorry for my English, I'm german)
