    I learnt guitar almost a year back and all I referred to were your tutorial videos back then. At present I'm able to play the rhythm to almost all the songs you put up online and I would like to thank you

    I've been watching your videos for years and my favorite lesson videos start with you playing and singing along. I wish you didn't stop after a brief intro and would just do a full cover of the song. I wish I had a decent singing voice but I just let my guitar do the singing and its got a better voice thanks to your videos. Keep 'em coming!

    some tutorials on amp set ups would be brilliant.
    even just adding into these videos what settings you per song.

  • @darrenaitcheson1675
    @darrenaitcheson1675 9 років тому +2

    Yet another classic song. And great that you include the octaves thing. Pls always include the more intermediate stuff.
    Perhaps a lesson in song structure would be good? Eg the technique of key changing to give songs a lift etc. Cheers

    • @AnxietyAddict
      @AnxietyAddict 9 років тому +2

      +DMSProduktions It came out in March 98' so I barely would have been ten. I could have heard it without knowing though. It's a good song either way.

    • @DMSProduktions
      @DMSProduktions 9 років тому +2

      ASMRWhisperLight.
      Yeah, it's not a bad tune.
      I think they were fans of Cheers, so this song is like a tribute or an homage to the show/it's theme song.

    @lynxone7039 2 роки тому

    Another great lesson - you have a wonderful teaching technique! Just an idea for us old fogies with some ("semi") hand arthritis - a capo on the third fret makes it much easier to practice the power chords, and then move the capo to the second fret to practice the octaves. Even on a guitar with good action, it can be tiring and discouraging to have your hand cramp up, holding those four barred chords over and over.

    hi, i love your guitar videos, the intros especially- hands down- amazing! I wanted to ask if you have a course on tone, cause i can learn the 'text' of the songs, but never really quite manage to make it sound like the original, or in this case, yours :/ Could someone tell me how you'd get the tone for this song?
    If someone could help me out i'd be super happy, thanks:)

  • @jessrehe5456
    @jessrehe5456 10 місяців тому

    I love it when you sing the melody of the song but call out the chords instead of the lyrics. I really like the song so when I’m trying to strum the chords, I get distracted with the lyrics. Singing the chords with the melody helps tremendously. Thank you, good sir.

    @marybertke6890 3 роки тому

    Are standard tuning power chords really just playing two or three strings each? That seems counterintuitive, but the link to the tablature is broken, and when I search your past videos for "power chords", it brings up a lot of videos of specific songs. Help? Also, thanks! I think I'm going to have fun with this channel I can play barre chords and some melody, but have almost no idea how to use different strum patterns.
