    Well done! Thank you. I love the scrolling tabs on the bottom. Makes it SO much easier to learn songs like this. I hope this becomes the new standard for how these sorts of tutorials are done.

      Hey, thanks a lot! And you're very welcome. I'm glad see that you feel that way about my tutorial video! Means a lot to me since so much work goes into making them. I've got four more tutorials like this on my UA-cam channel, so be sure to check those out as well! Also be sure to check back in the future as I will occasionally be uploading more. Thanks again!

      hey what does the ''palm mute'' above the tab in minute 4:13 means?

    • @jesteranonymous4434
      @jesteranonymous4434 8 років тому +3

      It means to rest the side of your hand on the strings real close to the bridge to get a heavy sound.

    Around 4:00, while practicing this part at the beginning, I recommend skipping the mute and playing very close to the bridge. Then move on.

  • @connorcoxmusic5942
    @connorcoxmusic5942 6 років тому

    I am barely an intermediate guitar player (mostly a rhythm guy, not so much of a lead), but I'm just curious - to all of you advanced guitarists trying to learn this right now, how would you rank this on the difficulty scale? I know it's all relative, but for me this is about a 9 out of 10. And if you do find it difficult, what part specifically do you attribute that to? Thanks!

  • @nicksken1308

  • @6lliot
    @6lliot 7 місяців тому

    I know this was 9 years ago so i don't really expect a reply but i'm having a lot of trouble with the 10 (hammer-on) 7 because my guitar just completely cancels out the note no matter what i do, even if i break my finger pushing down on the fret.
    any clue on how i can stop this would be greatly appriciated :D

    Hey what guitar are you using?

    • @adamontheguitar
      @adamontheguitar  9 років тому

      This guitar is an Ibanez RG370DXL! I am a left handed guitar player, so this is a left handed guitar, but I flip the video around in all my tutorial videos since the vast majority of people watching this video are right handed, and doing so makes helping all those people learn the song a little easier. Thanks for watching!

    • @Edventuris
      @Edventuris 8 років тому

      +Adam Pieper hey I'm left handed too, but I play right handed since I have no access to a left handed guitar (too young to get a job). do you have an tips for picking faster with my right hand? I play fingerstyle btw.

    • @adamontheguitar
      @adamontheguitar  8 років тому

      Edventuris Hey there! All I can say is just practice a lot. Regardless of whatever handedness you are using, fingerpicking involves developing a ton of dexterity, so pick a song that isn't too hard since you're only a beginner and learn it forwards and backwards. After that, slowly work your way up to more difficult stuff. And be very patient, because fingerstyle playing can get pretty difficult and it just takes time to get a hang of it! Good luck!
