The beginning, sounds a bit like. All Along The Watchtower which also starts with, a D minor !

05.40 (sarcastically) as simple as that ?! That's way too hard, I would be there all year, it's incredible !

[@RyanLendt]

thanks bro! crazy on you! Eddie referenced that song at my first PJ show :)

[@CharlieRootsMusic]

@@RyanLendt love me some Pearl jam. can you do a Mother Love Bone lesson bro? Like Shangri la or stargazer . Nobody teaches them .

[@CharlieRootsMusic]

@@RyanLendt my bad dude! You beat me to it. I probably should have looked first. You got the whole damn apple album covered. Lol

[@wadepatton2433]

8:50 Gold! Because we don't trust the teachers who edit out all their missed notes, Ryan earns our trust here! and a laugh. He also does a great job of editing.

[@RyanLendt]

I've been learning for years, never been very good. Played wearing a hat today, all of a sudden I can play now.

[@RyanLendt]

golf hats backwards work best

[@cdusty308]

Great lesson Ryan. Thank you. I heard you mention LaFayette. Would that be Lafayette Colorado. I live 10 minutes from their. Maybe if you do lessons in person maybe I can look you up.

[@RyanLendt]

Lafayette CA I'm afraid - but I'm near Philly now. I don't teach in person any more, just on skype/facetime. If you'd like to more info send me an email [e-mail] :) either way, thanks for asking!

[@PompeyMatt17]

Great Christmas gift Ryan, as soon as I work out Can't Change Me, I'll start on.......actually. .I'll do this one first !! :) :) :D

[@RyanLendt]

[@michaelavarice]

Thank you for this.

[@RyanLendt]

you're most welcome Doc thanks for stopping by :)

[@DW-wl2rr]

Hey, great job on all your videos! Do you think the c#m and the g# should be c#m7 and g#7?

[@RyanLendt]

hey thanks DW :) well yes, that's why I said that in the video :)

[@DW-wl2rr]

Ryan Lendt Missed that the first time! :)

[@willsmithmusic7468]

ryan can you do a lesson for an acoustic version of doesn’t remind me by audioslave/ chris cornell?

[@RyanLendt]

Will smith!!! well, it would be the exact same as the electric version, except with an acoustic guitar in your hands. have you seen my video on that?

[@willsmithmusic7468]

Ryan Lendt i have not, i will go check it out now, i saw a video on instagram of chris playing it and it kind of sounded different than the audioslave version, but thanks!

[@MSMonkShare]

You da man!

[@RyanLendt]

thanks Monk :)

Great job Ryan! Great acoustic song. Christmas day I turn 45. Anyway we can get crackerman unplugged for a sweet gift of grunge? Please sir. Can I have some more?

[@RyanLendt]

Happy birthday Gianes! it must be a deluge of gift-ery followed by a long draught :) crackerman on the list :)

[@patprime7320]

The good news for me is that how I taught myself to play a Dm oh so many years ago. But true story, I know of this song but have never heard it.

[@RyanLendt]

oh whew you're better than everyone. hey we must live under the same rock! I never know about anything.

[@patprime7320]

@@RyanLendt convenient for a Dm.perhaps..now there's just the 15,000 other things I do that aren't useful.

[@flxdcatbruce9416]

After 50+ years of playing this is the first I've ever seen it played this way and I love it. So versatile for many other songs I like in Dm. I was kind of curious though, how can you possibly know a song having never heard it before?

[@bennymcgehee3305]

Hey ryan can you please explain sometime soloing in other keys and the difference between these keys and everything about that because it is so confusing

[@bennymcgehee3305]

Also merry Christmas

[@RyanLendt]

indeed sir, this is for our soloing series :) I think the logical approach is do do the music theory series first. that's probably going to start right away in the new year

[@RyanLendt]

also a great livestream question ;)

[@MrRobertFarr]

Eblusion !

[@RyanLendt]

bless you!

[@Mr90sMusiclover]

The teacher has become the student....just like the karate kid, and just like in real life!
