Thank you Ryan. You have a great way of presenting your tutorials.

[@RyanLendt]

why thank you smedz.

[@FeelItRising]

Play some Goo Goo Dolls! hold on. Give me some time to tune

[@RyanLendt]

gimme ten minutes haha

[@Jamby88]

I would learn this one, but I''d need to get a backup set of strings just in case things go wrong during the tuning.

[@chadwickgaines3600]

That is such a good tune. Totally forgot about this one.

[@RyanLendt]

forgetting about this one is a misdemeanor in the state of wisconsin

thanks man!

[@bthurman35]

Thank you Ryan, I dig your teaching style. I want more!

[@ericisenhart4762]

I think I've previously seen teachers suggest getting the B string up to an E or replace the B string with a second E. Your tuning is much better!

[@RyanLendt]

yeah, even if that's correct it's not reasonable so I went with this one

[@eagles_s]

B to an E? Is that even possible?

[@kilrahi8696]

​@@eagles_sI do it all the time. It also sounds better.

[@kilrahi8696]

That's because that's the right way.

[@eagles_s]

@@kilrahi8696what gauge string or do you tune down?

[@generalwrex]

Yup, you could teach guitar anywhere, probably even to someone on the street! Your approach is awesome!

[@scottfaudree7201]

This is one cool tuning. It’s a no fail for me. Easy. Just tuning is the only key. Other than that. Wow. I’m amazed. Learned the song and away we went. Good content.

[@joenosser]

You are a great Teacher young man, really enjoy your videos.

[@RyanLendt]

appreciate you joe.

[@tschantz]

I’ve been teaching guitar for 21 years and am very critical of other teachers. You just taught this so well that I was able to memorize the whole video. When I pick up my guitar in a few minutes I’ll know how to play it. Outstanding job.

When I'm nervous i comment too much.

[@chronotrigger6746]

Please someone create a P string. I have reasons.

[@RyanLendt]

however many reasons you have, i have one more.

[@racegrubb2152]

Eeegh. I'm just gonna put a capo on 2nd fret and play it that way. Already have 5 guitars all tuned differently. Not trying another tunning method. Not yet anyway lol. Until then capo it is

[@xennialmusic]

I don't bother with this weird tuning. I just play this song with a capo on the 2nd fret and its simply G G/F# Cadd9 Em7 Asus4 Cadd9. So much easier this way and it sounds just as good as playing it this way.

[@robertdimauro7999]

[@natec29]

I won’t tell ‘em your channel name

budum

[@komaichan99]

The secret of this song is, it actually is played with DAEAAE. And 3:30 most hardest part of this song, it’s originally played in 3rd and 4th frets. Not 4th and 5th

[@kilrahi8696]

Dude no ...tuning is DAEAEE. The B is not an A. Doing it your way adds a tangy country sound that is not supposed to be there.

[@TheBROWLAND]

You have the most amazing ability to make hard songs approachable for me . This is excellent instruction!!!

[@NickB5882]

This song has always been a special one for me. Love every single note and every single word. Love every sweet and painful memory that come with it but the "move of destiny" and the" strummy solo section " are my most favorite parts and also the parts that I will unfortunately never be able to completely play. Regardless... this song will always a part of me. Thanks for the wonderful and clear tutorial.

Hi Ryan! AMAZING! Do you know if that's how Johnny Reznick tunes his guitar at the live show for this song? I saw a FB video of a young guy named Jake going up on stage playing this song with The Goo Goo Dolls and John warned the kid about the tuning. It's what brought me to you. Thanks for amazing teaching abilities.

[@MrJoekrajewski]

Collective soul or collective stroke 🤣

:)

[@eagles_s]

1:30 is that like a collective soul?

[@brandoncalloway8779]

Awesome !!! I have messed around with so many different tuning over the years trying to get this right.

[@robwagner7545]

Same. I've fought my way through a few versions that never sounded right...

[@brandoncalloway8779]

@@robwagner7545 I will probably drop this tuning down a step to lower the tension on my neck.

[@RyanLendt]

then capo 2 - i thought about this but then E string would be awfully wobbly

[@brandoncalloway8779]

@@RyanLendt it's not too bad wobbly , I tried CGDGGD and it wasn't too bad. Of course you'd need a capo to play with the record but if you're just playing yourself it seems to work.

[@dionforrester8391]

Ryan, is there a way to play this in standard tuning?

[@RyanLendt]

there's a way to play everything in standard tuning, but I think for me too much of the tastiness would disappear on this one

welcome!

[@fenderfox5080]

Ryan I figured out a campfire version if you wanna try? Standard tuning, capo 2nd fret , start on G cord keeping your ring and pinky fingers in place and walk G to 2nd fret E string to C E D C , then the Diddy hammer ons are in that C that is played like G , does this make sense? I love your campfire versions so I thought you'd like to try this way. Then there's no tuning, I can try to explain more if I'm not making sense lol, 🙃 🤘🏻 rock on

[@PooFace2030]

Im trying to play like this. There is a cover of this song by some dude on youtube who gives it a country twist. He plays it like that and it sounds 🔥

[@jameslong4929]

Attention Ryan. If that works we definitely need a campfire version 😜 That tuning sounds a bit to much for my ol acoustic to stand. I shall have to try capoing it.
