[@jaredhared]

How did it go

[@lowccperformance4059]

nearly 2 years ago I looked at this song and was like nope too hard.. now after lots of practice this is pretty easy to play! Practice guys you’ll get there!!!

[@Adomavo]

I wonder what my guitar playing skills will be in 2 years.. ive been playing for a month. Its going pretty alright. I dont make too many mistakes playing with fingers and i remember chords very easily and know like 7 so far. Im triyng to play this song but switching from E to the barre chords is hard lol and needles to say i cant evne play the barre chords properly as they always buzz and shit

[@lowccperformance4059]

@@Adomavo cool bro guitar is a great instrument to play 🤙

[@Adomavo]

@@lowccperformance4059 Yeah good decision i made

[@mrdreax]

@@Adomavo how do you play the guitar now

[@Adomavo]

@@mrdreax Its alright. I still struggle wirh this song but i learned how to play a different one very well.. Im thinking im just gonna get a teacher because it becoming very hard and annoyimg to learn through the internet.

[@Multiroester]

little trick: lay your index finger on the 4th fret on b and e. this way u dont have to move it and just have to remove the middle finger :) have fun^^

[@skoalie01]

just bought my 1st guitar at 40.... this is great. thanx so much. the bar chords are not that bad.

[@Adomavo]

Hows it going?

[@Liynkx]

a month or two ago I had just picked up the guitar and could only do the two string intro, now Im getting a handle on the bar chords and this is much easier than I thought, now to get it flowing and sounding good. Thanks for the lesson!

[@Baker5874]

So cool, I never considered learning this song till now! Thank you.

[@guitarmadeez]

No prob Chris! Thx for watchin'!

[@samuelcommons4393]

This lesson is great and has helped a lot. However, only begin with an up strum the first time you play the E chord ( from there its DDDDU with emphasis on the third Down strum) and Play the B chord on the 7th fret of the E string with an F major shape ( it gives it the power the song needs) Also when you play the last part of the lead guitar riff, play: 4s5--5s4--4s5- with the high e at 4,5 and 4 while holding it a bit after you slid into the 5, 4 and 5. The last time you play the riff (just before the chorus) it is as explained above. The Solo is Spot On! I really appreciate the time and effort that went into figuring it out.

[@millielacson6180]

chord progression: E, C sharp minor, G sharp, A (5th fret)

[@JC19021]

Great lesson, now if only I could sing the damn thing haha.

[@ReservoirThing]

wow, a gorgeous lesson!!

[@guitarmadeez]

ReservoirThing Thank you so much! Glad I could help

[@weedshot]

Thanks, I recently bought Rocksmith in order to improve a bit to the guitar. It's a good game but it won't explain me the strumming pattern. You did that well! The only thing that is missing to be absolutely perfect would be to have the tab while you're playing but in this song they are useless.

[@guitarmadeez]

Thanks weedshot! Yeah I try to make it as easy as possible and I've heard a ton about rocksmith but havent tried it. Would you say its best for beginners or works for everyone? About the tabs, I used to tab everything out but due to current court cases over tablature I'd rather not go down that road. Besides, the best thing I ever did for myself was to quit going online and looking for tabs. It becomes a crutch. If you try to figure stuff out by ear, you activate a portion of your brain that matures incredibly fast. Yes, the comfort zone is gone but the musical world gets INCREDIBLY BIGGER!!! Thanks for watching my videos :)

very cool tutorial! I'll mess around with this song sometime. I have a request if you can do a tutorial on Creed My Own Prison especially the breakdown of the short solo before the bridge. I can play the song but that solo I can't seem to get. The other song is Pity For A Dime. please and many thank you!! 😁

[@guitarmadeez]

Ren!!! So funny you asked. So I heard one the other day while buying a vitamin water at Circle K and it reminded me of that song. I went home and listened to the whole album and My Own Prison was such and underrated song. I would love to my man! I've got a bunch I have to do before it but I will add it to the list and hopefully get it up shortly. You and I are on the same page ;) Thanks Ren! Keep Rockin' Bud!

[@galsmok6392]

Really good tutorial !

[@SikoSoft]

During the 3:00 minute you seem to do 2 different strumming patterns for C#m. The first time, at 3:08, you do up, down, down, down, down, up (in the same way as the E chord). But seconds later at 3:23 you are saying down, down, down, down, up (omitting the first up strum, in the same manner as the following G#). I am suspecting that the first bit at 3:08 was incorrect. Can you clarify?

[@spennickproductions]

+SikoSoft it doesn't really matter, it happens so many times no one will notice, just listen and play it as close as possible. With that said, I'd say it's up, down, down, down, down, up.

[@guitarmadeez]

+spennickproductions Couldnt have said it better :)

[@SikoSoft]

thanks folks. I noticed from playing it a lot lately, that omitting that first up-strum on E (in all but the first time you enter the song) is what works best to keep the rhythm of your hand consistent. I admit I'm a little overly anal here and focusing on the wrong things. My guitar teacher explained to me that it's not about necessarily copying the exact strumming verbatim but making it come out good on time (I've only been playing a year now so sometimes I am focusing on the wrong things)

[@guitarmadeez]

Yeah I hear ya, Don't be too hard on yourself. There really is no right or wrong here. Of course play what you want to play and learn the rendition that sounds like the original to you but at the end of the day, most people/listeners won't hear the difference... :D
