    Ryan, I am teaching my grandsons guitar…. They are 10 and 7, this song is perfect for them to play and sing…. I believe the timing to be not so difficult…. Thanks too, for not stretching your pointer to the D, and just using the open D string, these kids have small hands, and moan at the prospect of stretching their fingers…. Lol, thanks again, Mike

    @Birkguitars Před rokem +1

    I have seen a lot of chord charts tabs and videos showing some form of E chord but I have also seen a video of Gary Lightbody playing it solo with an acoustic guitar and he definitely played AM7 based on the E shape barred at the fifth Fret. For the AM7 he dropped his finger to play G# on the low E string.

    • @RyanLendt
      @RyanLendt  Před rokem

      ah yes, however that wouldn't be a softball sunday AM7 :)

    • @Birkguitars
      @Birkguitars Před rokem

      Fair point. It does reinforce the idea that it should be some form of AM7 but as you say the version played around the first and second frets is easier and sounds good.

    Hi Ryan. I was wondering what strings you are using on your guitar? Are they lighter gauge? I have been buying different ones but just can't to find the tone. This sounds great on your guitar.

    Hi Ryan
    Im following you for a little bit now and i love your work, but im a really really poor guitarist, like terrible. But i would love you to do Foos February stars or generator as if i ever could play guitar, these are the songs i would love to play. I spent a long number of years singing in bands but never playing. Do you have any idea where is a good place to start. I follow your videos but i think that they are a few steps ahead. I play along with what i can but give up on harder parts

    • @RyanLendt
      @RyanLendt  Před rokem +1

      love the question Dom - find the easiest possible song and play it until you're bored to tears of it, then branch out from there. May I suggest Long Road by Pearl Jam?

    • @dominicberry3635
      @dominicberry3635 Před rokem

      @RyanLendt I will gladly take both suggestions on board. I was a singer in various rock bands between 19 and 33 but I'm 44 now so trying to learn to play better. Just to play a few songs from start to finish is the goal, so trying to teach an old dog a new trick. I'm talking about me here. I don't even have a dog 😀
      Thanks. I'll keep checking your videos but try concentrating on your suggestions too. Maybe one day you could try those two songs. I'm sure others will be interested too. Thanks again

    7/23/23. Great song with a great video by Snow Patrol! I’m going to watch that Snow Patrol “Chasing Cars” video after I write this comment. Hey Ryan, I’ve got an idea for you: Why don’t you sing this “Chasing Cars” song while lying down on the floor in front of an escalator at the mall, and let people walk over you. Let your son repeatedly get off the escalator, and every time he walks over you, he accidentally spills something on you, like an ice cream cone, or a milkshake, or hamburgers and french fries smothered in ketchup. Eventually your son drops a whole watermelon on you, breaking your guitar, and making your body bounce-up in the air, but you still continue playing the song on your now broken guitar. ... Do a SATIRE version of this song, changing some of the words, so you own it like Weird Al does... ESCALATORS are cool!!! You’ve got to do this video!!! And have some “hot” women wearing dresses walk over you, so you have a nice view of... This video would be hilarious!! Ryan, will you do this video? Take care, Ryan.
