A couple of years ago I tried to learn this from Adam Rafferty's performance video. This simplified version is easy to follow and allows further embelishments like the ones Adam uses to be included later after the basics are mastered. Thanks!
I was a little bummed that you didn't play the whole song too but I'm not complaining. I learned the song by watching the videos and I thank you! What a fun song to play and It gets a lot of attention when you play it!
Yes you certainly can. I chose to fret that note because of the difference in tone- I prefer the (what I consider) smoother sound of the note when it's fretted on the lower string.
hey bro sorry about requesting the play though at the beginning. I just looked at the comments. it is a great lesson and as you said it's free. I appreciate the effort you put in. thanks dude.
thanks man now i can play billie jeans, ur explanation is so clear that it make it easy to learn. i would like to ask u if u can show me how to play you rock my world by mj plz, i love this song
Hi Kris the base line can be played on the 4th & 5th string with less finger movement IE like an Em but I use one finger on and off in a rocking movement or small bar check it out would you agree.
Nice lesson. Efficient arrangement. For more advanced players looking for quick fingering references... it would be nice if the clips began and ended with you playing all three sections together. Thanks for the post. Ill be using your arrangement tonight. D
Great thanks ( I was previously aware of the great Mr Rafferty, saved his stuff on viddler, but still came here - so for what difference it makes, I think you're great too.)
Thank You Very Tone Much My Friend... You Helped Too Much With This Tutorial.. I'm Glad If You Teach Us How To Play the The Really Don't Care About Us By Michael Jackson... Salutes>>>
Hey man I know ur probably a busy guy and stuff but do u think u can make a tablature of this song for me??? I mean I like the tutorial and all but if u can do u think u can make a tab?? if not thn it's ok..
@scottmason86 Once again, I can't "copy" something I am unaware of. I have seen Adam's arrangement of the song after the fact, now that people have mentioned it to me, and yes they are very similar (though his of course incorporates the melody as well). I suppose we simply both found the most efficient, obvious way to play the song.
you are the first one hier in youtube who gave such a nice and clear lesson for this tutorial.. big thx
it seems to be a good idea to show first what will happens, what is the result of it. aftrr that the viewer can decide to do the tutorial.......

lol 6 years later I'm reading these comments doing exactly the same after discovering his lesson a few days ago. Did you ever get his version down?
This is the perfect tutorial of this song, what I was looking for all the time
Just a tip that made it easier for me. For the bass line when you are supposed to hit the 7th fret of the low E you could just play an open A.
Thanks man for giving us this lesson for free. God bless ya!

Finaly get it,a 1000 times thank you for the details in your lesson.
Always a good Teacher Kris.

thanks for taking the time to teach this, I am getting it very slowly, but it makes sense!
Great lesson thanks. It's taken me a couple of weeks to get it down. Adding the vocals will be a bit harder. The King of Pop LIVES!

Obrigado! Não entendi nada do que você disse, mas aprendi a músicas, muito obrigado! 😅👌
Great lesson. But why don't you use open strings for base line instead of 5th fret (or 7th with capo)?
Excelente leccion, muy agradecido
@tehdog22 I don't know who Adam Rafferty is. This is my own arrangement, thank you :-)
awesome! thank you so much.

Hey man I know ur probably a busy guy and stuff but do u think u can make a tablature of this song for me??? I mean I like the tutorial and all but if u can do u think u can make a tab?? if not thn it's ok..
Respect from Kazakhstan! :D
P.S. I think that you don't know where it is)
Jeka7319 no I know where it is I think h know where I am from but not next Kazakhstan it starts with uz
what if everytime im playing the base notes i move my fingers and then u hear squeaking noises because of base string changes??
Thank's a lot)
hi Guitar Lesson cade other parts of the video class?
thank you great tutorial !!
you said this is the simplfied method of playing it so do you know the unsimplified method lol
Can you play this on Electric Guitar??
Thanks
good
thx
thank u :D
We call this device a 'Snozzwangle-slapper' in the UK.
do you think this will work with fingerpicks?
grat dude, thank u
is it possible to use a pick
What model guitar is that?
What kind of taylor guitar are u using????
can u post a video lesson for the tabs of this song ..
thnk u ur veru gud!
multi tasking! 7:53 - 8:07
@scottmason86 what's the big deal man, he's giving a tutorial of a beautiful piece. respect.
Instead of 7th fret on 5th and 6th string, why don't you play 2nd fret on 4th and 5th string? Seems easier to me...
@scottmason86 Once again, I can't "copy" something I am unaware of. I have seen Adam's arrangement of the song after the fact, now that people have mentioned it to me, and yes they are very similar (though his of course incorporates the melody as well).

Holly fuck, im actually capable of playing it. Those pentatonic exercises worked up to speed up my fingers.
have any body write the tabulatur down or can send me a link pls????
Why the capo? Just to sing with the record?
Each part 3?
Part 2 plz
dude that is one tough riff man....
The chord voicings are purposely simplified here in order to make the total arrangement more manageable for people.
