Btw I just found out that you had done the guitar part in this song on reddit by a random user. I was surprised cause I’ve heard the song a million times and had no idea. Great job man
I just can't believe Mike wrote this riff, I grew up listening to Incubus and it's weird seeing him doing collabs for this kind of music. Many tutorials (if not all) miss that closing #F major in the chord progression; nothing better than watching it from the master himself!
In today's world, where many artists are very protective of their work, it is so refreshing to see an artist embracing, sharing and encouraging his music being widely distributed among fellow music fans. Thanks for the upload!
Mike.......YOU'RE FUCKING AWESOME! You've been a huge idol of mine since the Enjoy Incubus days until the If Not Now, When? times...This is much appreciated. You're an amazing guitarist and (I'd say) even better human being. Thanks again!!
So cool you took the time to do this. Not many artists would. You should deff do more songs from this and incubus or just your originals that are not published and your all time fav songs in general. Thank you
Its a fantastic song Mick, for me its real, its rich in soul and rocks along like a turbo charged locomotive. Thanks for sharing the fantastic feel you developed for the song and I cant wait for more from all of you guys.
thank you - this is exactly as my instructor Kev had called it from listening to you play - great to have it slowed down for me to learn - very grateful ...yours from the UK
Just started getting in to learning the guitar and this was very helpful. Thank you so much for putting this out there. Huge fan of your work with Incubus and had no idea you wrote this too. It was great to see you slip up a few times, makes me learning the guitar feel less intimidating when someone as good as you can still make mistakes and not be bothered too much by it. Thanks again!
Geez Mike your're freakin amazing for doing this. You and Brandon are my idols and I admire and support everything you guys do. I hope you and the rest of Incubus NEVER stop makimg music. Your music and talents are seriously the only things keeping me alive and have me wake up everyday and proudly put my feet on the ground. Thank you Mike so much. And congrats on your wedding/marriage!! :D...I love you and stay freakin unstoppable. Bless your guitar playing youthful soul. Thanks so much.
Love you Mikey!!!!! You are so talented!! Glad you are out doing other awesome projects,!! But as also a die hard fan of Incubus, cannot wait until we see you all together again, making your magic! 2015-Possibly a new album??? :)
mike you are amazing mate! a true fan, you and incubus changed the way i sing, played music and the music i listened to, even got a tattoo of the morning view cd on my chest :). thank you
That guitar sounds so smooth, thank you Mike I totally look up to you as a musician :) and I loved this song you wrote I'm waiting for you and the boys in Chile - december!
Hell yeah!!! I wish you could give lessons like this for each Incubus' song!!! well... now you've got your own UA-cam channel... I think you'd be... just a little :))...blessed and hero-worship for that too!!! thanks!We love you Mikey!!!!
True, in other covers and tutorials the proper, specific transition between versers is missing. And chords G / E alternate are also missing :) Michael thanks for your tutorial :)
Yah, for some reason I was surprised to find this was you- just seemed such a departure from stellar work with Incubus. Great right hand man- I show many students this one!! Cheers.
i love your tutorial videos - nothing quite like learning songs directly from the musicians that make the music! Please Please Please one day do Anti-Gravity! Its one of my personal favorite rifts from incubus!
I was thinking 'finally someone actually playing those quick leading fourth chord changes each cycle in the intro... Turns out it's the actual damned guitarist... Thanks a lot for this!
This is Hans Zimmer's personal guitar? The same Hans Zimmer who composed the music for the spectacular Batman movies? Wow you have great connections in the biz. And yes I love this song and thank you for showing how you presented it!!
The singer for Incubus doesn't sound anything like Aloe Blacc, who sings on the Avicii track. I'll admit it'd be interesting to hear his take on it though
Mike, when you play the bridge live with Aloe Blacc, you play a partial chord and slide down. Can you tell us what you are playing there? Thanks for the tutorial man, so awesome!
The real person who actually played the whole guitar part of the song... So awesome
Jeong Seo Agreed
Electric Guitar played by Nile Rodgers
@@sf1292 wow for real? There is not of electric work in this song tho
@@talkswithvigy7860 there is in the build
No shit
I love when famous musicians actually take time to make a video on how to play a song. Such a down to earth cool thing to do. You’re awesome mike
Btw I just found out that you had done the guitar part in this song on reddit by a random user. I was surprised cause I’ve heard the song a million times and had no idea. Great job man
I love it when musicians make use of simple chords and make such amazing songs.
One of the best Guitarist Michael Einziger.
I just can't believe Mike wrote this riff, I grew up listening to Incubus and it's weird seeing him doing collabs for this kind of music. Many tutorials (if not all) miss that closing #F major in the chord progression; nothing better than watching it from the master himself!
I hear that. I loved Incubus growing up and this song was SO catchy.
Now I know why!
agree
hey man really cool of you to actually come out and post a video tutorial most artist wouldn't even bother. you got my support.
Mike is such a down to earth and humble dude.
You are ONE with the guitar and its so cool to watch. I love that quick bridge playing too.✌
Absolutely no one can play it as you do... So much passion and character. Thnks!!
Avid fan from Cebu Philippines here. I've been following this band and Mike since my late high school days.
Always been a massive fan of yours, and Incubus. Phenomenal guitarist.
Thanks Michael. Regards from Peru
This song is an EPIC WIN, Micheal. Congrats on its success andHUGE THANKS for sharing a lesson with us.
In today's world, where many artists are very protective of their work, it is so refreshing to see an artist embracing, sharing and encouraging his music being widely distributed among fellow music fans.
Thanks for the upload!
So fkn awesome! So simple chord shapes but so powerful!
So generous to explain this beautiful song and its intricacies. I'm down for reviewing what I taught myself years ago. Thank You, Michael
He auditioned for Alanis Mourisette when he was 15, gives you an idea of the kind of talent your dealing with.
great guitarist and great human, have always admired your work and skills, you're an inspiration mate
Mike.......YOU'RE FUCKING AWESOME! You've been a huge idol of mine since the Enjoy Incubus days until the If Not Now, When? times...This is much appreciated. You're an amazing guitarist and (I'd say) even better human being. Thanks again!!

Thank Mike! Finally I learned this beautiful riff!

Well done Mike. A musical genius in the eyes of us mere mortals.
Really Great! So humble and talented! Can't thank you enough for teaching this to us!

True, in other covers and tutorials the proper, specific transition between versers is missing. And chords G / E alternate are also missing :)
Michael thanks for your tutorial :)
that was an excellent tutorial thanks man
Yah, for some reason I was surprised to find this was you- just seemed such a departure from stellar work with Incubus. Great right hand man- I show many students this one!! Cheers.
i love your tutorial videos - nothing quite like learning songs directly from the musicians that make the music! Please Please Please one day do Anti-Gravity! Its one of my personal favorite rifts from incubus!
legend.
Lovely Song. Thanks Michael. I've just covered this song and uploaded just now.
I was thinking 'finally someone actually playing those quick leading fourth chord changes each cycle in the intro... Turns out it's the actual damned guitarist... Thanks a lot for this!

your work is great!
I love this version and thanks a lot for the lesson brother.^^

MORE VIDEOS!
This is Hans Zimmer's personal guitar? The same Hans Zimmer who composed the music for the spectacular Batman movies? Wow you have great connections in the biz. And yes I love this song and thank you for showing how you presented it!!
He is the guitar player (sorry for the bad english there) from a band named incubus, so he is a little bit famous
Man that's sweet! Did the guitar ever get back?
Thanks Mike, you're too good to us :)
Imagine if Incubus performed this song, should perform it as a tribute for Avicii.
The singer for Incubus doesn't sound anything like Aloe Blacc, who sings on the Avicii track. I'll admit it'd be interesting to hear his take on it though
Great info here!
Mike please breakdown and explain Nebula and New Skin!
Oh wow I didn't know you co wrote the song! Awesome!
Nicest, coolest guy on the planet.
Thanks for making a tutorial video.
9 years ago :v, nice sir
Mike, when you play the bridge live with Aloe Blacc, you play a partial chord and slide down. Can you tell us what you are playing there? Thanks for the tutorial man, so awesome!
Thanks Mike
How the heck am I only discovering now that he co-wrote this song? Incubus is in my top 5.
So good....
hi - can someone tab the bridge plz. Cannot work out a couple of the notes... I have the rest down now and it sounds great :)
Thanks for the lesson :)
