Ryan, I know you do so much for the kids,you’re awesome. This song is fun and easy. What jam!

[@RyanLendt]

cheers Brady!

[@Fatstrat1079]

Ryan, very clever here by the tuning. After knowing this song with regular chord patterns, this is refreshing change!

[@RyanLendt]

thanks!

[@davidmiller180]

" Earballs", Love it!!! What a great sing along song! Sounds so cool acoustic!! Love how you transpose and explain it!

[@RyanLendt]

[@cornett0]

Yes I've played it the usual way :) I saw Tears For Fears a few weeks back on their UK Tour. An excellent show

[@RyanLendt]

[@eagles_s]

Yeah i learned The doodly bits at the beginning studio version. But the Acoustic need to get some action as well!

[@DilsonDuran]

Amazing shape chords ! It looks simply beautiful to my ears !

[@RyanLendt]

[@Sussypx9798yt]

I knew you’d save the day and have this! )This is Stevie, my son changed my KZbin name) My third grader wants to sing this in the talent show and I’m going to play guitar for him and I was like I bet Ryan has done a campfire version. Thank you sir!

[@dagro8639]

One day I have to send you a fan package from Germany. I've already learned so much from you.

[@RyanLendt]

that comment is fan package enough friend

[@TheToddcole]

Excellent video!!!!!!! The detuned strings give it that Andy McKee vibe I’ve been chasing.

[@RyanLendt]

thanks!!

[@darrelldunn4618]

I thought I heard Horse with no Name for a second while you were strumming the chords.

[@Sussypx9798yt]

I have! It’s one of my favorite songs. No idea why but I love it!

[@RyanLendt]

best of the 80's baby. A decade of music i missed entirely due to my obsession with TMNT. never too late to discover.

[@Sussypx9798yt]

@@RyanLendt 🤣🤣🤣 My obsession was NKOTB. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@INDAmedia]

Thanks for this Ryan! Sounds so much better with this tuning.

Hey Ryan love your lessons do you think you could do one in pinegrove “ old friends “

[@RyanLendt]

[@hunterh7674]

@@RyanLendt yes willie does but it’s not same song as the pinegrove one (pinegrove song is great you should definitely check it out )

“I’ve been through the desert on a horse with no name…”

[@RyanLendt]

isn't that Em - D? a few people have said that but I'm picking on you :)

[@backlom]

@@RyanLendt morning. It could be. But as soon as you started the breakdown, that’s what came to mind. Perhaps another video? Unless you’ve covered it already. Have a wonderful day. Started a new job now I can’t sleep enough in anticipation of missing my bus.

[@juananzaldo1062]

Is it possible if I could request a song? If so may I suggest “ zero chance “ by soundgarden please 🙏🏽

[@RyanLendt]

i've done that one

[@kevingreen8677]

Ryan, what kinda strings you playing?

[@RyanLendt]

elixirs

[@warmoth68]

If you drop the low E to a D..you can do the keyboard vamp along with chords. Just saying. I play the song in my acoustic duo.adds a lot of bottom end and background.

[@poopoopants7088]

As a lifelong open tuner I've never been happy with any version this song I've tried. I finally swallowed my pride and came to see how someone else might play it. Boy oh boy have I been overcomplicating things! 😂 Thank you for this, brother! If it's ok with you, I'll use this to buid a version of my own??

[@lukeclarges5386]

I sure haven't ever thought to play Everybody Wants to Rule The World like THIS before!

[@RyanLendt]

haha then this is the video for YOU! :P

I definitely look more like dan aykroyd than Oprah

[@Jayhawk_Micah]

@@RyanLendtHey man great tutorial. I was watching Ghostbusters and he reminded me of you. Also Who said you look like Oprah?

[@Bhh-j2s]

I’m sending socks anyway

[@RyanLendt]

good i need some!

[@mcburnski]

So why did you change fingers for the Em?

[@mcburnski]

@@AnimationByDylan i think you need to watch the video again 😜

[@RyanLendt]

Dylan speaks wisely (hey buddy!) - I'm comfortable enough switching fingers that it's more of a pain in the butt for me to use ring and pinky for Em since that's not something I ever do

[@oblio125]

I can't play guitar , but I did get the reference, so at least I go twenty points out of this. I do get twenty points, right?

[@RyanLendt]

twenty points coming your way!!

[@mollymaggieandmemollymaggi5189]

8/22/22. You’re a good dude and I like you... That being said, I don’t like what you did here because you DID NOT MENTION THE BEAUTIFUL SIMPLICITY OF THIS SONG! First of all, play it in standard tuning! The SIMPLE 2 chords to the first verse are played: X X 0 2 2 0 to X X 0 0 0 0. You resolve the MAIN verse to just playing the first 4 open strings: X X 0 0 0 0. The stuff you’re doing is interesting, but doesn’t sound as good as playing the simple version! The beauty of this song is how simple chords can sound so beautiful! And your video totally misses that point! Why did you change simple chords into harder chords that sound worse than the simple chords? Take care, Ryan.

[@RyanLendt]

what about the C that doesn't belong?

[@mollymaggieandmemollymaggi5189]

@@RyanLendt 8/24/22. What “C” are you referring to? I heard the original recording is tuned sharp above standard tuning, which may sharpen the “B “ string up a half-step to an open “C” note, is that the “C” note you’re referring to?Who cares? It doesn’t improve the sound over just playing it in standard tuning. Just play the song in standard tuning , and play the 2-chord main verse as: X X 0 2 2 0 resolved to: X X 0 0 0 0. There is an acoustic guitar player playing along with Curt Smith and you see the guitarist playing what I’m telling you. Check it out for yourself on KZbin “Curt Smith unplugged- Everybody Wants To Rule The World.” Take care, Ryan.
