Conor Murphy What’s funny is that they aren’t even British.

[@joemama4313]

Any night club tbh

[@josh9592]

PrometheusTV but mr. Bright side is our national anthem

[@IThinkYouLookLarvely]

@@prometheustv6558 Yeah I remember back in 2003 being surprised they were not British. They got recognised in the UK first too and did their first headline tour there. I guess the influences are from British pop bands of the eighties (along with The Cars from the US), plus, Brandon Flowers sounds less American than some UK singers!

[@TokyoKazama]

Takes me back to uni during freshman year. Every Friday night the DJ would end on this song. It would never get old, the crowd on the dancefloor would lose their shit and you'd have strangers all singing (screaming) the words to one another. That's what this song reminds me of. Good Times.

Been watching Marty for almost a decade. It's crazy how he keeps pumping them out. I don't even need the lessons anymore, I just come to brush up on tunes before gigs

[@Billy23562]

Watch guitarzerotohero you’ll thank me later he’s better no offense

[@OfficialTygo]

sometimes i put on this song to cry. my ex absolutely loved this song and always sang it with me when i played guitar. now i cant play this song without tearing up anymore. the power of music is crazy man. I always cry when playing it live with my band haha

[@marv3n506]

Broo I have the exact same problem

[@animeminians7451]

Right? It's an amazing song and it's awesome how music has an impact on us and affect us psychologically. I find it beautiful how you perceive this song. I wish you well in your life onward

[@EtheRenard]

My ex sent me this song before we were even in love. That was an AMV and this song really impacted me, it really put me down for a while, and it was like it helped me discover my own weaknesses, that I was in a very bad position.

[@damooncrabXD]

Tried to learn this. Twisted my fingers in 27 different ways. Gonna stick with Rock and Punk that has power chords lol

[@avyonelston3898]

[@derekli2919]

please do a separate tutorial on how to play this standing up

[@gaffer2602]

Guitar strap as high as possible. It also serves as your exercise for the day

[@Sapient_Army]

I found a separate tutorial which uses a capo on 4th. I've never been one for capos, but it makes this song sooo much easier to play, and you don't have to tune down. As you've already obviously watched this vid, I am sure Marty won't mind me suggesting you check out Danny Eddy's vid on this song. Its up there for an alternative that I for one (being a lefty playing a RH guitar), found a lot easier to get my head around. Still struggling on the hybrid picking though.

[@FinstaDaMinsta]

Lol

[@JackDenholm]

Every time i hear “this song is a half step down” i get so mad

[@Tuhqa]

😂😂 I know what you mean! I used to be so annoyed especially with E flat but tuned to Drop C instead and I was like, ffs man gimme a break. But now i actually prefer different tunings bc it makes things a little more interesting

[@H20nas]

U should only get mad if u got a floyd rose.

[@SG-go4gu]

Tone your guitar to -11 it’s a half step down pretty easy that way

[@DragonNinja180]

@@SG-go4gu thank you

[@Trey-jl9ru]

Well you shouldn’t, half step tuning is badass and takes like 30 seconds to do. Welcome to the big leagues kid

[@iiamnev]

Marty Music, the legend teaching kiddies how to play legendary songs. Bless your soul.

[@0416Rigby]

Thanks dude, this tune still gets called on gigs often and the problem is a lot of singers call it down a half in C rather than up to concert D (and then shoot me a look like "why doesn't the intro sound perfect"). I don't know why, but you just inspired a solution of tuning the high E down to D and letting that baby ring out like it's supposed to!

[@JonathanMarsala]

Who else agrees that The Killers are one of the most underrated bands of all time? They have soooo many great songs!!

[@ianleonard3760]

Hitchin A' Ride bruh they aren’t underrated they’re pretty well known

[@JonathanMarsala]

@Thelonius Mitchell yea on this song and I might say this cus Im fron Montreal. ppl know mr b and somebody told me. thats all

[@justinspagnuolo3341]

nah bruh fuck this band why they gotta make this song so hard 😭

[@maddisonevans8957]

Agreed

[@Ggnosyss]

they are not underrated is just that they had their time around the 2000's, they kinda didn't come back to the mainstream

[@mistrrZ]

Teacher: What are you laughing about Me: Nothing... Also me: *Marty Martside*

[@keithwoodsdesign]

I’ve been playing guitar for 25+ years mostly as a rhythm guitarist and songwriter and Marty is hands down the best guitar teacher on KZbin! If I want to learn anything complicated he breaks it down so easily.

[@danielphillips2963]

This is a song that I’ve wanted to try for about a decade but always put off, thanks for an awesome tutorial.

[@kevintroko]

Every now and then I come back to this song to see if I have become good enough to play it. The moment has not come yet

[@RC32Smiths01]

Dang does that look physically enduring! Looks like a challenge, but that makes it so fun! Great work here!

[@KoPlaysGuitar]

Since my first year I played the guitar, I have been watching your awesome video’s. You learned me soooo much, so I just wanna say thank u, your amazing. Now I make covers myself and I don’t need your tutorials anymore, but I still watch them because I love how well you can teach. When friends of my ask me to teach them a song I just say they have to take a look at your channel. So keep it up and pleas never stop!

[@draisine1609]

Mate. You published this at just the right time. Thank you. I am working through this slowly but you have made what seemed impossible seem like I could middle through it. Thank you!

[@mikepelow5952]

So my cheat is tuning up the G string to A to make the intro more comfortable and easier to play and adjust the way I play the other chords. The audience couldn't tell the difference they were too busy singing and dancing along.

[@Seventeen_Seconds]

Me: always wanted to learn this Watches video: nope I'm good

[@gnarlycharlie9401]

Every time I think of a song I wanna play, you literally make a video that week or the day after 😄 your literally the go to when I wanna learn a song 🤘🏻

[@dshrute6622]

This riff will not only annoy my family even more now, but it will inspire at least one singalong loudly at some point too, long overdue tutorial search...thanks Marty! Great instruction.

[@hutchklutch2594]

I'm impressed Marty. You are putting out some serious content. I still won't stop until you make a lesson for Jimi Hendrix Mannish Boy! Keep up the good work!

[@evilhunterj_0228]

YES!!! I WAS LITERALLY LOOKING FOR THIS TUTORIAL AND NOW I FOUND IT JUST IN TIME!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[@Diegoromero2006]

Marty takes what would have taken months or a year to figure out to you understanding it in less than 20 minutes a million thanks!!!!

[@oppes0815]

Awesome! Thanks. Everytime i hear this song i remember all those partys. I'll learn it just for nostalgia 👍

[@NoMartialArtsKenny]

IVE BEEN WAITING SO LONG FOR MARTY TO DO A TUTORIAL OF THIS SONG

[@LavenderSageMusic]

Powerful emotion in your playing- even though its a tutorial- your guitar sings.

[@chilledbrazilianrocker]

Marty you are a superstar, thanks for showing us that. I feel it’s much easier to achieve the string picking by dropping the pick all together, and just finger picking like an acoustic, just pointing out, in cases others struggled like I did

[@prajwalsadashankar6972]

You are the one who teached me to play guitar from beginning until now a lots of thanks to you

[@aanstadt]

Three days in a row?!?! Three awesome rock tunes!!!! THANK YOU!

[@jamesobrien9747]

I’m big into Tomo Fujita because he’s all about triads and harmony but when I’m looking for someone to tell me where to put my fingers Marty is my man

[@terrycurtin1008]

They knew this was a hit waiting for the right time when it was written. A true garage band that made magic. 2 videos were made and the rest is history. Brandon and Vanucci are still in the original band. The bass player I think is with Pumpkins. Good Mormon boys from Vegas. I bought my Polaris ranger from Vanuccis brother in Apache Junction AZ. They still fill stadiums.

[@austin33785]

Mormon. Not good.

[@yugifan34]

OMG I was wondering if there was a lesson where Marty teaches Mr. Brightside yesterday and BAM! you're the best, Marty

in todays episode of riffs that sound awesome and easy but in reality are hard af and make you quit guitar:

[@scotlandhughes219]

Literally every song I look up Marty music has a tutorial for it!

[@simongarcia5358]

Some of these songs are played exactly as they are heard, making them really simple.

[@chicuongvu1806]

But like most dont know the tab or the chord cause if we do it would have been so easy

Man I gotta get a guitar and try this this guy makes awesome videos explains how to the best I've seen

[@jg.g5977]

tip for those needing to get to half step down if your new or don’t know how, place capo on first thret tune guitar to standard take capo off and your in half step down

[@jimrobinson208]

The trick for the intro is to tune the G string up to A. So your starting on D9 shaped chord on the 17th fret. Makes it much easier.

Good Job, Marty!

Favourite song

[@spaghettiman3757]

These chords are are torturous! But I find it the easiest when you hold the guitar in the classical position (resting between your legs, rather than on only one leg).

[@TwistedTornsTirade]

I want to learn this song so bad! It's great to be a Michigan Wolverine!

[@PRODUCTASANTI]

I am so learning this!

[@grantniddrie4032]

I’m going to re invent the guitar just so i can play this godamm song start to finish without going into full finger lockdown cramps !!!!

[@felice5149]

Marty you're the best!!☀️

[@theJoshClark]

I just got the noti for this. They just let Marty out of his cage and he’s doing just fine.

[@xisagegaming5058]

note: if you're a lefty using a right handed guitar with the strings inverted your hand will not slide down far enough on the fretboard, not impossible to do but its going to be much harder than it normally should keep that in mind as you practice.
