Murder in the City Instruction for Guitar

[@niffbear]

As a "I need a quick learn for this song" you nailed it man. No long intro. No baby walk with every pick and note. KZbin needs more like this

[@gabriel.stone21]

14 years later you helped a 15 year old learn how to play his favorite guitar song this is great

[@AllThatRemains5]

K that's pretty fricken cool!

[@jamesmclean1520]

Love how confident you’ve become through your journey with the guitar! Love your videos Josh. Great tutorial! Keep it up 🙂

[@shmadsta]

Wow this is the only tutorial I've seen that actually sounds like the record. Well done!

[@Madibro262]

06/26/21 (DFW) - I see this was posted 11yrs ago- I just saw this. Thanks for helping me “murder” the intro! And I sure hope you’re still playing, sir.

[@rudafunk]

This is a really good lesson, your emphasis on using dynamics to pull the tune out of the chords is great, thanks man awesome job!

[@bryan18244]

Hey man, Just wanted to say you are AWESOME and very helpful! It's great you take the time to do these tutorials, because you sure don't have to. I can't believe someone would actually get upset with you, GOOD GOD! I played at a wedding last weekend and I had to play "Swept Away." I agreed to it before I attempted to play it. Thank God for your tutorial, you did a great job and I don't know how I would have learned it without you. THANK YOU!!!

[@NickSortin]

Nice job man! I like it on the 2nd fret, but there's no doubt you got it better than me. I appreciate the lesson. This is a new favorite song of mine, Avett Brothers are song writing masters! Keep up the great posts.

[@scottdenis4110]

thanks a lot man this really helped me i still don't play it perfectly like you but it gave me more than enough help to do my own half assed campfire version

[@TheKongz360]

first guy on youtube who actually knows how to play it!

[@franceinayear]

you saved my life! thank you for such a great tutorial. i hope to be able to play it like you one day! If you could do any other avett bros tutorials i would appreciate it seriously! maybe when i drink? thanks!

[@cascarpful]

My friend, you have nothing to apologize for. it is inconcievable that some would say you should do this or do that. Its obvious that you have it. thank you for sharing it with us.

[@maxburton117]

Incredible video! Sounds amazing! If you have a chance, would you mind writing down the tabs and the finger picking. I found it a bit tough to follow. Thanks so much.

[@soundphed]

Dude you are awesome, thank you!

[@loganrinehart5742]

Thanks for sharing this. I was really getting frustrated with not quite being able to nail the intro, but it sounds much more accurate thanks to your help! Good going!

[@discoministerify]

I thank you for this lesson! Maybe the best on youtube for this song. Next time you make more of these, please explain more what you are playing. It's really not that easy trying to figure it out from a low quality video. Keep on going! :)

[@hilarysmith4442]

Thank you for making this! Sounds great..and now I get what I was doing wrong...

[@SkippyHatesMe]

Great job! 10 years later...

[@nornielovesavetts]

Thank you! I've been watching different videos of Scott playing this and trying to figure it out but this is much more helpful! Thanks again =]

[@bradschmidter]

Great teacher!!

[@WesMoTron]

I don't know what all the whining is about, just cause you can't learn the song without a 56 year old music teacher writing it on a blackboard and holding your hand. I learned the whole song form this vid. Thanks Dude!

[@davedavis1152]

Hey Josh, thanks for this amazing video, I love this song, Perhaps I might be able to do it justice. Can’t believe there are negative comments!

[@oliverderos1]

Hi mate! I want to ask you about the 2:15 finger position. I have many problems with my pinky finger on the 4th fret so I decided to watch the video of the Avett. Exactly in the second 0:02 Scott shows a different position... any solution? Anyway, you have done such a great work! thansk for sharing!

[@wpf312]

Who has the energy to hate on this vid lol. Amazing melody.

[@stand4d37]

Thanks for the lesson...I love this song

[@Dereckburgess9999]

Awesome thank you

[@mcasey12]

Well done lad, great job!

[@jackevans7336]

You literally murdered it!

[@jprmac1]

+Jack Evans *figuratively.

[@nicknielsen2042]

dude. you're amazing. great job on the video make more!

[@seventoedsloth]

I think you did a great job! Keep making videos.

[@bkershaccount]

can you please do a vid for "i and love and you"

[@lamuanduca]

Good job dude. You should tab this out as I have yet to find a good version of this song other than this one.

[@jackrainbow560]

oh it makes sense alright, boy.

[@battmuha9]

I spy an avett poster in the background.

[@connorlangley44]

well done brotha, top marks.

[@WilliamJeffersRealtor]

Say, don't you play banjo wicked good? Nice job on this. It's all in the singing but it's nice to see how to play it. Thanks

[@mithraneere7901]

Where is the cover for this??

[@lovesjoyajm]

Wow. So much better than the tabs I found for this song.

[@obodude71]

Nice job, thanks for uploading!

[@cbdunster]

You did a really nice job on this. Anyone complaining shouldn't be trying to learn this song anyway as it's clearly above their current ability. Thanks for putting this out there. I'd love to hear you play and sing it all the way through!

[@JimmyCrumbs1]

is there a alternate tuning here? I'm playing the same frets with a capo on 3, but it sounds wrong, when I play the notes on different strings, it sounds fine.

[@heatherhaase9641]

Sounds beautiful! If you have time, could you please tab this out?

[@010010ryan]

man if you can show us the other part (capo 8th) thatd be killer

[@Drewssp]

i learned it?

[@postmanwilldeliver]

If you guys get the chance, go check out my cover of this, and let me know what you think! Thanks! "Murder in the City"- Avett Brothers Cover

[@will7162]

Thank you for this

[@PS3SROCK1234]

Thanks mate.

[@garrettrecord7260]

Has anyone taken one for the team and made sheet music for this???

[@Methos06wd]

Thx =] I had a few things wrong and I didn't even know it

[@UnclePoloT]

great video! But like everybody else says... you should tab it out :)

[@chupawix]

awesome

[@gradenhill6851]

nice poster

[@JimmyCrumbs1]

never mind

[@trippw10]

thanks for the lesson!!!...i posted a video of course i don't think i play it exactly the way you do

[@PicturesOfLive]

thanks a lot!

[@jimcappadona]

@DLBCPIBY i would suggest starting with something easier to play then

[@krushnij]

Scary thumb nail mate

[@DLBCPIBY]

@MattRives76 I'm sorry for the bad comments, I was just very upset at the time after trying to learn it for 1 Hour. I know he plays it really good and accurat, but when he first decides to make a Instructional Video he should do it step for step so people can understand which notes he plays.

[@gradenhill6851]

great job im way better now

[@MrPajf]

Or possibly there is more than 1 person named Josh Turner.

[@alanpdag]

"you do this, then you do that..." oh okay dude lemme get 3 inches from my screen and watch what you do one more time.

[@justinwalsh420]

You play the song amazingly well, but you cant say “and then you go like this” and expect us to know what’s going on. Thanks for doing this for us though, i do appreciate it.

[@street0ibanez]

Hey people need to be criticized to learn what to do better people. But yea some of these comments are to harsh

[@mabma67]

King Catastrophe not harsh enough

[@gonzolov]

letz jam anytime, man... hugs & kisses-jj

[@TheRemyRomano]

Hey, I like you. You come across a bit angry, like you are pissed off about having to make this video for me. It’s almost as if you knew it would take me nearly a decade to find it. Yeah, sorry ‘bout that. You have some mad skills though.

[@DLBCPIBY]

U DONT UNDERSTAND HOW FUCKING DIFICULT THIS SONG IS!! When you are first making an instruction video make it proper! Dont just play in your tempo without teaching, you are saying: Do this and that, then you play a riff. You expect us to learn that, once i have struggled through your "Instruction" video I will make a Guitar Lesson so people understand how to play it, btw the first notes of the intro is wrong.

[@deadfishboy1]

Get better at teaching LOL

[@jessesutherland7412]

Painfull to watch! get on with it!
