Thank you sooooooooo much !!! I was becoming crazy and just thought I suck in guitare (wich is maybe right...) Kiss from France
Thanks so much for the compliment! Glad you enjoyed :) always keep playing and learning! It's the best experience ever :)
In my opinion, this song is the English Beat as covered by Pete Townshend and EV's version is a cover of Pete's version. You Tube Pete Townshend, Save it for Later, specifically off of the White City Album (Expanded Version). ua-cam.com/video/KpD_6CgouNQ/v-deo.htmlsi=uHihvTh23GgP9gHh
John, you are so cool ! Thanks for teaching me "Under My Skin" Your presentation is awesome, one can really see that you feel your voice right down to your bottom. Move over Frank!
Thanks so much for the kind compliment!
could you write out the strumming pattern
thank you so much! was looking for a tutorial and yours was the best i’ve seen!
Thanks so much for watching! Glad you enjoyed :)
It's a timeless classic, also cool cover. Definitely coming back when I learn guitar
Something I've noticed about FJM's singing is how he enunciates every letter, but especially the last letter. Listen to just about any song and you'll notice it. Just a small thing like that that makes him so captivating imo
Thanks very much!! Glad you dug it ;)
Make more content without standard tuning 🥰
Nice 😊
I like you contents ❤. Make more videos on coldplay songs. For guitar 🎸
I don't think it changes much throughout the song. You could probably loop it and noodle along, adding some dynamics etc if you wanted to sing. Great video. thx
Thanks very much!!
Sounds good in open D tuning as well - he does this sometimes
Wooo thanks for the tutorial!!!
Glad you enjoyed!! Thanks for watching :)
Great job. and thank goodness no sax
lol thanks very much! Glad you dug it :)
Maybe dadgad tuning. 000770.000790.000770. 777600..507700. With the right fingerpicking Also works.
I'm 100% positive DADAAD is the tuning used by English Beat, Pete Townshend, etc., but whatever floats your boat!
Love this song!
This is the best tutorial for this song on UA-cam and it doesn't even show up when I search UA-cam for it. I had to use a Google search to get here. Great job man. Love this tune. I was playing it within two minutes and loved your choice of chords compared to what the tab sites are listing.
Thanks so much for watching and for the kind words! Really means a lot :) Rock on! 😊
what a great tone
thanks! Those little orange amps pack quite a punch :)
waaaw Thanks alot dude!!! 🔥🔥🔥❤
Any time enjoy!
Thanks for the lessons learning a lot i like the alternative tuning. Can you possibly do a tutorial for "Strawberry Swing" 🍓 by Coldplay acoustic. There hasn't been any online. Thanks!
Sure thing! Love that tune, will get to work on it right now!
thanks looking forward to it super excited! 🍓

Thank you! Great teacher! I love this Dylan song covered by Richie Havens, specifically the Dylan tribute version. You've unlocked this mystery! I have been watching Richie Havens ' tutorial, but he doesn't break it down like you! Thanks so much! Here is his UA-cam tutorial: Richie Havens Plays "Just Like a Woman" from his Homespun Lesson The Guitar of Richie Havens.
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed 😀😃🤩

John, what a great lesson. I like the way you teach. You remove fear and just break it down. I am a learner and have seen countless videos on how to play this. I would just watch, but you put me at ease with fingers on fretting this incredibly hard tune. I love it and the fact that you dressed up, UA-cam should give you extra points. I am also playing a great Taylor 324CE.
Thank you so much for such a kind compliment! I'm glad I could help, and enjoy grooving with this great tune!! Thanks again for watching :)
Nice job, really cool sounds . 1st time I tried tuning my 12 string to open D. ✌
Awesome to hear, and thanks so much for watching!!
Love this song. A great lesson and looking forward to having a go! Thanks so much 🙂
Thanks so much!! Glad you found it helpful. A tricky tune, but super fun to play once you get the hang of it!
Tuning is low e is CACGBC
❤
Thanks so much for watching!!
Great tutorial, you help me a lot. Thank you❤
So cool to hear! Thanks for watching; glad it helped 😄
sick watch. is that a santos de cartier?
Good eye! Indeed it is :) Helps with the guitar playing for sure :) Thanks for watching!
I was just about to comment on the same thing 😂
Nice Lesson...Thanks...
Thanks so much!
That's amazing! The better guitar performance I've seen of this song. I recommend you add some text information in the videos to complement them. Thank you.
Thanks so much! Good idea too; will do :)
my new favorite guitar teacher
awww thanks so much!
show muito bom..
Awesome brother
Thank you!!😀😃
Very good, thanks. And worthy of many more views lol
Thanks very much! Glad you enjoyed :)
Great job. Always loved this song
Thanks very much! Glad you enjoyed 🥰
Came to this from Isto's version. Your voice suits this perfectly. Well done.
Thank you!!
Great harmonies, brilliant explanations as always, I'm learning so many new songs. Thank God, this one is in standard tuning! Unfortunately there are a lot of beautiful tunes on your channel in those weird open tunings, sadly I don't get it.
Thanks so much for the compliment, and I'm glad you enjoy the videos! Always happy to help out with the trickier open tuning songs, so feel free to contact me via DM on instagram @jschmergs if you are ever interested in a lesson via Zoom! Thanks for watching :)
@@JohnSchmergel thank you!
