[@stevebirks1]

Excellent... been looking for a way to play this in standard. Now I have to chart out all those variations.. top drawer lesson.

[@hennareytutorials]

Cheers Steve!

[@MegaPirate-xo1ly]

Sir, it sounds almost similar, and it's really very cool in standard tuning, and it sounds exactly same, thanks for the video, and it's not at all good to tune guitar every time differently

[@FreckledFoxx]

Thank you so much! Fantastic interpretation and great delivery👌

[@michaelbluethner1250]

Exceptional work! Thank you for this one.

[@LuigiFTMario]

Dude, perfect video! Thank you

[@glorioskiola]

Thank you for this.

[@christopherdavidson4382]

Thank you for doing this video! I am really just trying to get back into playing guitar again after not really playing much at all in probably around 20 years for various reasons. My hands and even my shoulders just don't seem to want to do what my brain wants them to do yet.

[@meganlivesay8442]

You did very good. It sounds beautiful to me. This is such a hard strumming pattern to play. Thanks for showing your work. You are doing great at teaching.

[@BnMProductions11]

If you think about each individual up down it will always feel next to impossible. You need to think about the feel of the sound. Your brain will hit the strings at the right time.

[@devrajjj8787]

Learning the excact strumming pattern is pointless

[@braammoriartybartels1865]

Thank you so much for the tutorial, finally i can play my fav song with my guitar including the intro

Nice video brooo, very niceeee

[@zipzapzoom04]

Hi, thanks for the excellent lesson! I had a small request, in the strumming patterns could you mention in the description the beats on which D and U strums are falling? (like 1 e and + ). Thanks!

[@tajbirsingh5205]

You got a couple of chords wrong there buddy.

[@hennareytutorials]

Technically, they're all wrong, because it's actually played in a form of open G tuning haha But would you elaborate on what is wrong? So other people may see this and be able to play the right chords

[@tajbirsingh5205]

@@hennareytutorials well for example the opening riff... Just slide the G chord along the neck (without having your index finger on the a string) and use Cadd9 instead of regular C major when singing,"on the ground." ... These chords translate to a voicing which is very similar to the shapes in the open g tuning.

[@hennareytutorials]

@@tajbirsingh5205 yeah, I saw the sliding of the G chord up the neck in a different standard tutorial, but to me it sounded kinda off... Maybe I have a bad pitch! I think there are some different ways to play this and the chords I give in the tutorial, which I play in the intro of the video, are actually just variations that I suggest. When I explain it in the video, I also stay on the Cadd9. Of course, you don't have to like my version and the variations I'm providing. Each to their own. I think is spices it up a little, and when Myles Kennedy plays it live, he also adds a couple of those melody variations. I wouldn't say it's "wrong".

[@tajbirsingh5205]

@@hennareytutorials i mean everyone is free to make their own version of it. I'm just the kind of guy who like it as close to the original version as possible.... So that is what i meant by "wrong."

[@hennareytutorials]

@@tajbirsingh5205 yeah alright, I get that! Thanks for the constructive feedback, mate
