How to Play "1901" by Phoenix

www.yellowbirdproject.com
An acoustic version of the song of the summer (I'd argue anyway). It's not perfect, and it's nowhere near as powerful as the full band version (or even the acoustic versions they've been playing) but hopefully it'll help out some of you and provide a good base. God, I love this song.

This is great, not only do you teach things at just to right pace (too many people go too slow) you've also got a knack of picking out great songs! This is one of my fave albums of the year. Thanks for doing this.

[@AmazingNadia]

Sounds great!!
Hey, do you think you could do another tutorial for Phoenix's other song, Lisztomania?

[@IrishBog]

Hear hear.......great stuff man....great taste in music ....

[@Obakedake]

Cool thanks for this!! I wanted to learn how to play this song and this helps a lot. Thanks so much!

[@nubbs1320]

yeah for new videos!

[@sumanoharan]

Thanks man. You simplified it for some of us beginners.

[@chipinsalsa]

Thank you so much man! The tabs online suck, your video was a lot of help, though I play the higher G in the chorus.

[@00legoman00]

can u do fences i have not found one howto on it

[@n1ya4u]

thanks so much dude!
totally helped

[@laughingcrows]

Awesome, I was hoping somebody would break 1901 down.
(and you're right, it's "fold it," but I still like singing "falling.")

[@LeoCast96]

GENIUS

[@47starlord]

Could you make a tutorial on how to play Liszomania by Phoenix?

[@HDoss70]

Good Job Man. I approve and I very rarely do. Keep Rockin!

[@bearpitrock]

Thanks for the tutorial. Made easy. Cheers.

[@puregroove]

good job dude!

[@winsomelosenone]

i did what u did ad it taught me how to play so thanks and i didnt watch the whole vid so dont troll or anything but when i listened to the actual song i found out that u skip the 5th string and wrap ur thumb around to the 6th string to get that bass sound

[@AdamoMoreno]

Job well done!
Thanks alot!

[@dsmann12]

Could you post a tutorial showing the intricate way?

[@chrleegaard]

Never mind it's not perfect, it's helpful. good job!

[@heyavtonewyork]

Awesome video! Just one thing I want to point out, when barring the fifth fret where you cover the 4th, 3rd and 2nd with the A base note, you can just use the A-minor 7 jazz chord. With the Ami-7 you only need to use your ring finger to bar the 4,3,2 strings and use your middle finger to cover the A base, if that makes sense haha. Probably irrelevant at this point but definitely makes that chord easier to play rather than using your thumb.

[@gohugo25]

what are the chorus' chords they really play in the chorus ? :) But whatever it relaly helped thks :)

[@candybelle]

thanks for the tutorial!

[@jeteyes500]

thankyou... ur awesome!

[@jpscool4u]

What are the actual chordsin the beginning? I play piano, not guitar, so I can't really figure out what chords you're playing
can you please post a comment, thanks!

[@dspirit77]

5x5555 would be a tab, the numbers refer to the fret number and it starts at the top always. The x means muffle and a 0 means leave it open. so its pointer on top string the big E then muff the second, then bar the rest on fret 5, there ya go..

[@sexoandpsycho]

is there a good tab for this anywhere?

[@learyan]

can u do the hard version of chorus instead of simple? =D

[@crazypaul5]

Thanks for the video Doron! Great song. I think he might be saying "Fall Dead." But who knows. Crazy Frenchmen.

[@freshcuzheride]

thank alot man

[@bladesaint21]

Thanks!

[@juicebox19911]

the reson we watch the videos becuase its a good way of learning. the level of a musian has nothing to do with how he learns. all we want is to learn the best way to play it.

[@midocrimsonfate]

L.O.L. its funny when he shows you the song with words as an example
He always says the wrong lyrics xD but I know he's just showing us how it would sound with words
Great Cover Cougar!

[@jaynette2011]

but what are the notes?

[@MalloryTomiuk]

Funny. I was just looking at buying the bon iver shirt like yesterday...the whole vid i was like uhmmmm is that?..no...by the end of the vid I was right! =] good job.

[@lastofmykind8]

[@mightycock]

[@PinkTheSphinx]

[@JERADS3D]

I agree the G,G6,and G7 portion of this video is all mashed up. I can figure it out looking elsewhere but overall good vid

[@billtillo]

[@soullesplain]

@lolz9795 what that guy said :p

[@dragonkin9]

to even more simplyfy it on the chorus part you can just use power chords

[@CarlosBravo94]

[@learyan]
