    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!

    • @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.

      The band originally was formed in Minneapolis, MN, USA in 1995. Closing Time was written by Dan Wilson and is about the impending birth of his first child.

    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

    @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 8 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
    @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.
