When Your Mind's Made Up- explained exactly how Glen Hansard plays it in the movie, Once! If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask and be sure to check out my channel for more Glen Hansard songs broken down.
Thanks a lot man. Was having trouble sleeping, lots on my mind lately, and saw this. Its 2:30 in the morning, and just got to get my guitar to play this now!!
I'm a songwriter and basically a pianist but I've been playing the guitar for ages without getting any far, your tutorials are soooooo useful and I thank you so much cause I'm learning a lot. I'll make a statue of you and worship it one day.
My friend…what a great teacher you are. Thank you. I also learned "Gold" thanks to you.
A couple of years ago after a concert. I live in Dublin so I regularly go to all of the places that were shot in the film. Have you ever been over here?
Hi Jason thanks for the lesson!!
Can’t believe I’m just hearing these songs now from this great movie!!
Great job!!
Nice tutorial--for the music theory buffs watching this video, the original song is in 5/4 time, which might account for a little bit of difficulty learning the odd picking and strumming patterns (one extra beat for every measure)..Hansard gave an interview after the movie and said the bass player and drummer from the movie had trouble with the 5/4 time signature, so they overdubbed the drums and bass post production with the bassist and drummer from his band The Frames.
Thanks man
Cool Story! Thanks man
That's great! Thank you for your lesson! I'm working on it now. It's really difficult to play, especially in the using the right hand. But everything is possible when you spend enough time for playing.)))
Thank you. You made that nice and easy. Appreciate it.
Thank you so much for this, I always enjoy learning new ways of playing the basic chords! Needless to say, this is an amazing song and I can relate to it very much as well due to life's experiences. Definitelly going to check out your other videos after I'm done learning to play this song the proper way like you showed here. Cheers!
You're so welcome! Thanks for your note and cheers back at ya!
Could you show how to play some songs from Hansard's album "Didn't he ramble", please?
thanks for making the video... (helped me learn the odd time)
for the f and g, i think it may be played just a bit differently. by putting another finger on the 'A 'string on the same fret as the d string....(so 3rd fret for f, and 5th for g) then deaden the E....or use your thumb for the bass note. .... i couldn't tell for sure, but it's all in the way an individual chooses. but yeah, good video
Thanx for the video man. Though I had already known the chords, until I was unsure of the order of playing the strings in the verses.
Since you like Glen & Mara along with the The Frames, I suggest having a listen to David Gray. His music is great and for the most part, very simple to play.
Great man!! I appreciate it. I love Glens songs, but there hard to figure out.
thanks man. back when i did the video i had been playing almost a year and now i've been playing about 4 and a half years
Getting down the 5/4 part was definitely one of the hardest parts of this song. Just practice tapping your foot to it and counting "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 1...." Once you've got that, I just practiced strumming while driving with the CD in and this helped a ton. Getting down that fast "ba da bum" strum between chords in the chorus gets easier that way. I still air strum even now when I listen to it, haha. I LOVE this song. Lemme know if there's anything I can do for ya.
This helps, but the clue to the song is to know that there are 5/4 in a bar, like in "take five".
it is kind of: 1 - 3 4 5 1 - 3 4 5 with accents on 1 and 4.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
this was really helpful when i work this song out shout outs will be voiced
You are the first and only person to tell me that. I can see it a little though
Thanks mate. Well done! Appreciate it. Love the song.
Nice. I'd like to see you play it in 2020. Bet it's come a long way.
Im very gratefull for your efforts in figuring out Glens chords and strumming patterns!It means i don't have to :D
I hope you'll be doing the same with Strict Joy and you should work on some of The Frames aswell! Thanks for all your vids.
Please would you do a tutorial of "love don't leave me waiting" also! you are very accurate with your covers. Glen is impressed with your talent
Happy to help, Michael.
thank u a lot ... its a very dear song...
Its not that he just strums randomly, the song is in 5/4, meaning that theres an extra quarter note in a bar. To simplify, there are 5 beats in one bar. Just count to 5 along with the tempo and youll understand. It may take some time to get used to.
I was gonna point that out but you took the words out of my mouth. Thx man
Thanks for your video!!! I really love this song and want to play it well....It's really good thanks alot :)
You're awesome dude, this has been very useful for my, thanx a lot ^^
thank you mate :) love this song.
Thank you for making this video.
The song is in 5/4 so there will be ten beats per chord, which makes for a relatively unusual strum pattern. In the verse play the notes in the video, and you play 1 2 & & 4 5 &. In the chorus and the bridge he uses DDUUDDU which is counted 1 2 & & 4 5 & again. Hope that makes a little bit of sense. It's difficult to type out, so cut me a little slack.
Thanks a lot for this tutorial. I definitely love this song and I want to start playing as soon as possible, so... I'm follow your instructions! and, do you realice you look quite alike Glen? XD Anyway, thanks, thanks, thanks.
I would have to repost the video if I did. Is there a question I can answer about a part of the song or something?
@Musiikki93 thank you! and you're so welcome! hugs from New York City!
@sierraaawrr you're too kind! :) so happy you like the vid!
Fantastic
I'm glad I was able to help out :) Let me know if there's anything else I can do for ya.
NIce job, Thank you!
nice thanks man.....how long u been playing
thanks, great help
haha, all the way from Chile. Sweet :) glad to help
@carccaro Well thanks! :) glad to help and you're very welcome!
Yes please do!
thanks for this, made it much easier
Takamine EAN10c. It's the closest available model to Glen's NP15, which was 100% the reason I got it.
Any luck with the exact strumming pattern for the chorus? I know how the piano part goes and incorporated it into the guitar strumming pattern (D-U-D-U-D-U-D-D) but I don't think that's how Glenn strums the chorus. The 5/4 is a bit tricker, as I am so used to 4/4 time. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Did you write this?
It was nice.
thanks you so much. man. i appreciate.
thank you bro ! from Tunisia
THANX MAN; you are the best
hey im so excited for you you've made me jealous lol ive been playing the guitar that glen plays everyday at the music store and im going to buy it and sell my current acoustic and danelectro i can'T wait PS nice beard ;) the frames sent me a msg on myspace they wont be in toronto until next fall :( im saving my money lol cant wait to meet glen there is def a trip to ireland in my near future
Did you mean to type another song, because Say It To Me Now is 100% in open E tuning, no doubt about it. I thought you might have meant When Your Mind's Made Up since you posted on it's page, but I tried it and it made me cringe, haha. Lemme know :)
@dfish58 yeah 5/4 is a bit tough to get down. the strumming pattern I use (not including the double fast strumming at times) is this:
1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 &
D -- D U -- U D -- D U
is this open E tuning or standard?
@21guitarrocks its DDUUDDU. The hardest thing about it to get down is that it's in 5/4
thanks man,helped alot ! :)
I haven't yet, but I really want to.
Where did you meet him? Isn't he the greatest?
glad you found it helpful :)
@Lexisjj that's really so kind of you to say. and you're very welcome! I'm happy to make these videos and haven't in quite a while, but I feel a couple days of grinding out a bunch of videos coming soon :)
very good .!!
Lots of thanks from korea :)
I take that as quite a compliment! haha :) thx a lot. I'm glad I was able to help
AH You're awesome!!!!
Thank you. If you can learn this. Just think of the doors for songs opening up. Cause this isn't easy🤕
Please help me, what is beat for the chords?
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

+hyrule109 yes, standard tuning

THANK YOU!
u saved me :D
i REALLY cant figure out the strumming pattern
can someone help me out???...please?
thank you
freaky ! bt helped :) thx :)
nice video
I really wanted to see the right hand strumming pattern
alright thanks!
@derekwaddell510 LOL!! I was gonna say he looks like a cross between Ryan Howard from The Office and Ben Affleck.
mi thumb is not large enough to play the 3x543x :(
wow I see it too
Need the tabs on the screen. Lost from the start lol
play it as a bar chord if your thumb cant reach around
The song is in 5/4. That is my biggest problem. I keep adding an extra note.
PS - Thanks, I was watching the movie trying to get it, this is much better.
@CraterMuffin Nope. Just standard :)
The beard!
Hey, kootenaylad wrote that before me. At least now I know I am right.
standard
@yankee15 It's crazy how many people give me this only on UA-cam, haha
your cute :)
thanks for the help, ive been searching for this song.
buddy it's good, but you must to be careful with the tempo and song's metric (5/4) 5/4 is hard to play, so is need to try so hard to get better. Anyway, congratulation, the chords are so good, you have a good "musical ear"
Man, I hope someone has told you by now that you look like BJ Novak. Please tell me I'm not the only one.
if Bj Novak is the guy on the office then you really look like him haha
I met Glen once, pardon the pun.Thats my claim to fame.
2:36 EAR F**K
Thanks Seth Rogen, good job.
Well Your extremely adorable(:
