Ryan, you consistently impress me. The songs you choose to make lessons for are literally my daily playlist. Thanks!

[@RyanLendt]

it's because you have spectacular taste in music Chandler :)

[@ralphcarter6652]

i guess I'm kinda off topic but does anybody know a good place to stream new movies online?

[@geistreichtube]

I agree that this song is just too good to be true. My absolute favourite!

[@geistreichtube]

I mean, who comes up with riffs like this one? Surely, must have been aliens from the future!

[@RyanLendt]

me too!! that was redundant...

[@geistreichtube]

Limo Wreck is the other killer riff by Soundgarden and a favourite of mine.

[@JohnHWelch63]

I totally agree with your assessment of Soundgarden's songs. They blow me away! First time I ever heard them I was awestruck!

[@RyanLendt]

they are written with a unique quartet of brains

[@nickcds3419]

This has always been a top 3 for me. Love it. Great lesson as always. 🤙🏼

[@Tbobaggins89]

I cannot thank you enough . This is the first complete song ive learned since i started around 2 months ago you made this so easy i watched this video this morning and i have the whole tune down . Like i said i cannot thank you enough

[@RyanLendt]

what a first song! clap clap clap to you Trevor. Not THE clap, mind you :P

Mine was Electric Funeral

[@morbidcorpse5954]

June 5, 1996: Finished hitting two doubles in Jackie Robinson little league on a cloudy day while my grandfather watched from the stands. Came home, ate pizza, and Pretty Noose came on MTV. Best day of my life!

[@RyanLendt]

how on earth do you remember the exact day??

[@morbidcorpse5954]

@@RyanLendt Because it is the most memorable day ever and summer. MTV was on point with Cranberries, Smashing Pumpkins, Butthole Surfers, Nada Surf etc. I'm a 39 yr old disabled veteran now.

Soundgarden's/Chris Cornell's genius shines in the outlandishness of this song. Thanx for posting this.

Wow, the special tune is everything in this song.

it is indeed the crux of it all

One of the best songs from my favorite Soundgarden record. I also love that Schecter PT, got mine last week. It sounds fantastic.

Your the greatest instructor the best sir

[@DepthWish]

Your tutorials that I've seen are great. Thank you. How confident are you on the verse starting 7-8-10. Lots of tabs show 7-9-10 and you also have your pre-chorus ending with 10-9-7. What do you think?

[@RyanLendt]

thanks man. one zillion percent confident. It's a weirdball interval, and we hear what we expect to hear more often than what is actually there. I just checked for ya.

[@migueldecarvalho8012]

Great lesson! It would be interesting to learn the setting and gear you are using to produce that sound. All the best.

[@RyanLendt]

Thanks Miguel! for this one I would have found something roughly along the lines in that magic line 6 amp, and completely forgotten what it was after. I'm moving towards using real amps and pedals now so I will share that info when it's interesting :)

[@motorfinger_media3506]

Haha, Aliens came down and wrote the song!! Chris sings notes that opens portals! PORTALS I say.

Been playing pretty noose almost daily.. Thanks again. I've got a request for you, just tonight I got into "been away too long", it's got some great parts in it, I especially like this part that starts around 02:15, so unexpected. Anyway if you dig the song, it would be nice to see how you dissect it

with all your love for Seattle music, do you live in Seattle? If so, have you toured London Bridge Studios?

[@JeffMiller-ci7mn]

@@RyanLendt gotcha, I did a tour there recently and it is amazing to be in the same space where Temple, Soundgarden, AIC and Pearl Jam did their first records. Got to stand in the vocal booth and listen to Jeremy off the board. Keep making awesome videos, Ryan!

[@akskills101]

Another great tune, thanks Ryan. The Day I Tried to Live would be another great one to learn. Would you ever consider doing lessons by Screaming Trees? Specifically from their Sweet Oblivion album? I love all your content, PJ, Soundgarden, AiC are my favourite bands... all we need now is some Mark Lanegan thrown into the mix :D

[@RyanLendt]

It would appear that I have done two screaming trees songs, and I definitely intend to do more :) I have done the day i tried to live, but adapted it for standard tuning because I think I was tired that day and I couldn't process it the real way :P I'll put it on the list the real way as well

[@jasoncarrasco7682]

"Oven roast" that's great. Hahaha

[@RyanLendt]

that's as far as I've gotten with that mis-hear :)

[@mistycelaya6214]

Thank you for your videos! I look forward to them every day. I’ve wanted to learn this song for awhile! Side note: I was really impressed with Ryan Adams version of ‘Fell on Black Days’’ at the I’m the Highway tribute concert. Nothing compares to the original version IMO buuuuut Excluding the strings, can you break down his version/part? Thank you! 🤘🏽

[@RyanLendt]

Hello Misty! It makes me really happy to know that, thank you :) I'd love to break that version down - actually I was watching intently while I was at the concert, and it's ridiculously simple :) Thanks for the great request!

[@mistycelaya6214]

Ryan Lendt Thank you! Our seats were in the 200’s...we were so stoked to be in the building! I’ve been watching utube videos of many of the performances and I still can’t believe we got to attend. ‘Hunted Down’ ( William Duval/Jerry Cantrell) was another favorite of the evening for me. Just seeing everyone stand in awe listening to Chris’ guitar feedback at the end of the show will be a long-lasting memory.Still Gives me chills. 🤘🏽✌🏽
