Guitar Lesson: How To Play X-Static by Foo Fighters

[@Slenderchunk]

Forgot I love this song, well done!. Pocket watch demos has some awesome tunes too: petrol, Winnebago, milk etc. Is there a hybrid tuning where top3 strings are for Dave and bottom(high) 3 are just open tuning set to the chord pat plays?

[@RyanLendt]

I mean, anything is a tuning... i suppose if you tuned G up 3 half steps you would have that tuning though so you could truly just strum away... or down to D#, either one would be pretty wonky though

[@Slenderchunk]

Ryan Lendt I wrote that question before I heard how rad your tuning worked for the chorus. Plz disregard that silly question.

[@twodogmom]

Love the Foos, love Pat Smear and love the beautiful outside setting for the video. 😎

[@RyanLendt]

no dogs, but there were three cats staring at me through the sliding glass door :P

[@KowboyUSA]

Great lesson on a sunny day! Got one for you. Maybe a Softball Sunday.. Wicked Game from Stone Sour. An awesome cover and only a few cords. There are a few plucky parts that could be fun to break down throughout the song too!

[@RyanLendt]

[@MrTones1979]

6/11/19. Near the end of this video when you mentioned the SCREAMING TREES, I heard that scream in my head from your previous Screaming Trees video even though you didn't do that scream in this video........ How about Mick Jagger having heart surgery? I mean, I know he's 75, but he seems to have inherited good genes with his father living to 93, and his mother to 87, and with his diet and all that dancing, and he still develops a heart problem. But he's supposedly doing well a couple of months after the heart surgery, and will be back on stage with the Rolling Sttones by the end of this month doing all his dancing again.

[@RyanLendt]

muahaha i have pavlov'd you :P I did not know this about Mick - good for him! sounds like we'll be enjoying pearl jam for at least twenty more years then :) I'll still love them when they're 75.

[@Whatserface3]

I love you but i gotta ask WHY do you keep your capo there (above the nut) WHY WHY WHY

[@RyanLendt]

because that's where you're supposed to keep thalia capos. I love you to ahmed.

[@brandoncalloway8779]

THANKS SO MUCH DUDE LOL !!! Yep... You know I'm an alternate tuning nerd hahaha

[@RyanLendt]

your tactics worked ;)

[@brandoncalloway8779]

@@RyanLendt lol been busy with instrumentals lately but don't worry... I'll find another song to harass you about hahaha.

[@rodrigomendes4474]

"Pretty penny" by STP Pretty please..?
