"Sure Thing" - Miguel - Guitar Lesson/Chords - DRUTORIAL #2

How to play the hit song Sure Thing, exactly how I play it every night onstage!
This is the second installment of DRUTORIALS, a little vlog series where I'll show you what I'm thinking and how I play some of the songs I play with some of the coolest artists out. I might weave in some general tricks and licks and stories from the stage and studio, and if you keep it up you might just learn to play rad guitar in the meantime. Rip it up!

"Don't let it get stale" is probably the best advice I've ever heard. Great tutorial as always.

Excellent stuff Dru, The way you play is inspiring.

[@RomoDosOnce]

Dru, you’re the truth, Brotha. I always look for your live stuff with Miguel. Thank you for going through all the variations of chord progressions and your inflections. Super dope! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@vrajapho12]

Excellent Tutorials! You encourage us to come up and make up our out tunes

[@drewplaysmusic]

[@katyrobinson8355]

Super cool that you made this video of yourself teaching how to play I love. Thank you👍

[@ihadsomelagears5553]

Plus I always keep in mind what you tweeted to me a while back about guitar: The more you know, the more there is to know :)

[@SightsofaDrew]

You're my guitar idol. Can't believe you shared all this amazing stuff. Totally inspired to push my playing beyond the comfort zone of the basic 4 chords.Thanks idol Dru!

[@hetharia]

Beautiful chords selection! Thanks for sharing! Amazing!

[@drewplaysmusic]

Thank you!

[@twinngunna1]

Thanks for doing this.... I learned the basics if this from watching you and Mig on Perez Hilton

[@ihadsomelagears5553]

Yeah! I love that one. Sure Thing and Quickie. Quickie is where I personally learned some new chords

[@guitarfan8855]

Dru, you are the absolute man. Your Spotify Sessions version of this song was off the hook - I spent a year learning and refining it, so now all my housemates have heard it a billion times. How does one learn so many voicings for a single chord? Do I have to get a Bachelor's degree in guitar performance, or is there an easier way? You're an incredible player, and so cool of you to do these drutorials. Looking forward to more!

[@drewplaysmusic]

+guitarfan Right on! That spotify session was rad. How to learn tons of voicings? The good news is, if you learn one voicing, you've effectively learned 12 new chords, because you can just move it stepwise up the fretboard. But it definitely doesn't require a degree, just curiosity, and a general understanding that any cluster of D (E) F# A (C#) in any order, anywhere, will get some cool results. So you just get in the zone and start making shit up.

[@frommmmmmm]

In love with that version. Do you have tabs for it or a video that I can learn it from?

[@accetom129]

guitarfan

[@lauren9714]

[@drewplaysmusic]

Thank u! High fives all around

[@0001ReMi]

LIT BRO, WHAT A VOICE

[@zbulloch]

DREW! I really want to learn the thrill the way you played it in the Spotify session! I can’t find a video where I can see your movements :/ A drutorial on that version would be AMAZINGGG. if you get some spare time and it’s convenient for you I would be super grateful. Rock on drew

[@marcoolivera2644]

[@drewplaysmusic]

Right on man, everyone's on their journey. Glad you got something out of it

[@ninkwillow]

Your voice is so good

[@davidchounlapane1946]

Can you do a tutorial for "use me?" One of my favorites! watched you and Miguel play it live and it was amazing!

[@fordhammie]

Believe it or not, this helped me on Bass! :)

[@drewplaysmusic]

100% believe it

[@LesterFD]

came for a guitar tutorial, went with some philosophical lessons

[@johnlopez3944]

Video starts at 1:48

[@markaj_]

you deserve more subscribers

[@drewplaysmusic]

Well hell thanks man! They'll figure it out on their own time;)

[@ianahumuza7198]

Hey dry Please do a quickie cover

[@oboyy]

Dru brother I am back. Have you done a tutorial for that sick acoustic you and Miguel did for Quickie way back in the day? You played that so sick. If you haven't is there any chance you could?

[@jajotokes859]

Please do a drutorial for simple things by Miguel

[@angeleduardoestradasoqui3208]

I liked the way spotify live session played it (:

[@drewplaysmusic]

I was pretty much using the same ideas. Always listening & reacting to what's happening though, so everytime it's a bit new & different

[@dc2guy2]

6:19 - but can you teach us how you dislocate your pinky like that? 😅

[@funyun000]

Thanks for the lesson. Ive noticed when you play live you use a Boss GT10 correct me if I'm wrong? Do u use it just for effects, amp sims ect.? Im sure you could use whatever piece of gear you want, just wondering why u choose that.

[@drewplaysmusic]

funyun000 Yup that's the one. I use it for all kinds of things, it's usually the only thing between my guitar and amp. I have a ton of other pedals at home, but none as instantly customizable as the GT. There are a lot of ways for it to sound bad, but if you dig into the signal chain there's a lot of ways for it to sound flippin huge.

[@twinngunna1]

Can you please do a tutorial for "the thrill" and "coffee" especially coffee

[@drewplaysmusic]

+twinngunna1 Coffee is on the way

[@ihadsomelagears5553]

+Dru DeCaro oh man. I can't wait. Even tho I'm confident that I have certain sections down pat, there are areas that I'm slightly uncertain about. The Wendy Williams Show and Kelly & Michael performance of Coffee i have recorded. Play em non stop

[@spenceryazzie765]

Is their an official sheet music for the live performance of sure thing on billboard?

[@melo7331]

Could you maybe put a video up of you playing the whole song using those chords?

[@drewplaysmusic]

There's a bunch of them:) kzbin.info/www/bejne/emfTY4WIl9qeoas kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWnEh554bqubf80 kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3rJqnarnZdsgsk

[@melo7331]

+Dru DeCaro wow man I did not expect for you to actually reply. Thank you very much that means a lot to me. I'm working on playing the song right now and when I'm ready I'll put up a video of me playing and singing it

[@drewplaysmusic]

Dope. Do it!

[@MaddDaWgggggg]

post more bro

[@GrotesqueDeth]

Do a tutorial of "all I want is you"

[@drewplaysmusic]

+Raelyn Baroldi on it!

[@Sunrise_blueSky]

Dru DeCaro would love to learn that song from you, can’t find the video though

[@PatinaEdochie]

💯🔥

[@roroandleesha8044]

Can you do a tutorial on the live version of "Pussy is Mines"?.. 🎸

[@drewplaysmusic]

Haha which version? That song is all improv

[@ProtectedClassTest]

How did he get to the other chord progression, i mean what is the reasoning or theory behind going from D, F#m, C#m, Bm to Dmaj7/A, etc. is it voicing?

[@drewplaysmusic]

The Dmaj7/A is, at it's heart a "D" chord. So it replaces the first chord in the progression || Dmaj7/A | F#m | C#min | Bm ||. The lesson is: there are many ways to play a D chord (Dmaj7/A is one of them), find one that is truly your own, or one which fits the song and moment perfectly. Try not to always reach for the same thing.

[@ProtectedClassTest]

cool. thanks for the explanation!

[@yungbre100]

please do a tutorial for 'all i want is you! and "leaves' :)
