Would love some tab /notation for the chord shapes you use. Best version of Cath I’ve seen.

[@26ANdre91]

[@trguitarlesson]

@zachisthname
the push happens on the "and" of "4" giving it a pushed feel

[@thePumapunku]

[@slotstikskimboards1]

[@cass49er]

Many thanks for this video. One of my favourite Death Cab songs!

[@joshuarazon4852]

BY any chance can you explain the interlude picking part? Some quick tabs maybe?

[@tahakhan1926]

hey! nice work...which guitar do you prefer for a beginner(it must be easy to use)

[@doublekorv]

Thanks broo... the song's not hard but I didn't really think of using a capo. :)

[@gpm479]

Your tone is absolutely killer, what's your setup?

[@genieinabottle1031]

very good tutorial. Can you please post the strum pattern?

[@jacobbentley2562]

Hey, just wondering what the fingering for the major triad is. I'm not a novice guitarist but I've never hear of one before and can't find the fingering for it.

[@trguitarlesson]

I'm assuming you are talking about the reference at 4:19. It is a G position triad using the pinky ring and index. (Pretend your index is the capo or nut and you are only playing the first three notes of a G chord form) if you'd like to discuss more I'd love to help. available to talk via Skype or on the phone I give lessons professionally from beginners to professional working musicians. Let me know.

[@MrTubedude999]

Actually, I think the major triad referred to is the C you formed by fret 8 on the low E, fret 7 on the A and fret 5 on the D, which will create a C chord

[@haamishmcgarry]

ur not a novice. ..but uv never heard of a triad

[@zachisthname]

Can you explain what you mean by "push it" ??

[@MichaelAlso]

he means to hit that note/chord louder than the other chords. Accent it or bring attention to it

[@trguitarlesson]

@macs1515
its a custom fat strat i built

[@macs1515]

sorry if it sounds ignorant, but what guitar is that?

[@haamishmcgarry]

yeh wtf is push it. and you dont show how to form most of the chords properly

[@trguitarlesson]

A "push" is to move a song forward. In this case an unexpected change on the "and" of 4.

[@slotstikskimboards1]

I know bro. Shit annoyed me tbh
