Complete beginner but the strumming helped by visualizing 1 1 2 1---2 1 1 2 for the strum pattern in the beginning. 1's for the bass chord and 2's for the strumming all the way through. Hope this helps
Found this 6 years after it was posted and I'm very excited to try it. I think Justin's grown a lot in how he makes videos and structures his explanations, but this still seems easy to follow. FWIW, I'd love an updated version of this with clear explanation of the notes making up the chords and not just the positions. I find that getting both helps reinforce learning the fretboard for beginning. As a side note, I laughed out loud pretty hard at his bashful Colour and Shape joke. That was good.
You are a gifted teacher Justin - you explain what is happening really clearly helping us to get many different things from your breakdown of what is going on with both hands - thanks :-)
Thank you so much for the this amazing lesson on one of my favorite Foo's songs. Your style of teaching is precise and fast, any beginner or advanced player can learn in a minute. Keep up the good, Justin. You're a great guitarist and teacher.
Dude. Great tutorial, Justin. I have scoured the internet for many years watching all of FF's live versions of this song trying to find the approximation you describe as Chris's part (the second guitar/bouncing pinky part). There are countless tutorial videos and almost every single one skips this note which, in my opinion, is the most crucial in nailing this epic song. I have performed this at shows and have jammed it acoustically for people after learning it from a Hal Leonard sheet music book many years ago. The problem was, this book described the most awkward and painful finger positioning for this part, leaving me convinced that Dave Grohl has six fingers, and I've always left this progression out of my performances until now. Your approximation is by far the best I've seen to date. I'm going to practice re-learning this song as soon as my finger tips cool off. Thank you.
you probably dont care at all but does any of you know a way to log back into an Instagram account?? I stupidly forgot my account password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me.
@Skylar Kylo Thanks for your reply. I found the site through google and I'm trying it out now. Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Oh my god, I’ve been spending two hours looking for a guitar tutorial that actually explains the rhythm on the pre chorus I don’t know why it took that long but THANK you I’m finally done
Glad you liked it! Cheers 😊 | close 2u | JustinGuitar Official Guide [ www.justinguitar.com/ ] & Moderator on JustinGuitar Forum [ justinguitarcommunity.com/index.php ]
Love your work Justin. I was struggling to find an easy-ish song to get more into drop-d tuning and everlong is turning out to be very fun to play. Cheers.
I realy think this song sounds more awesome on an acoustic guitar but for obvious reasons you chose the classic version. I would like to thank you for all the hard work you are putting in to this channel and your website. I've been following you for years now and your lessons are the best i can find on the web. Keep up the good work an i wish you all the best for 2018.
Hey Justin, why dont you make a video about your gear and equipment. I would like to know about mics, guitars (inc. pc soft&plugins), pickups, amps you posses and use to make your videos. It seems you have quite an inventory there! Happy New Year!
Just brill Justin..a great driving song full of energy! Love the way you describe all the nuances..started learning today more or less have "that" sound! Gave my daughter Lydia a demo when she called on me..she loved it..well she's in love with Dave Grohl! 😊 thanks for the lesson Justin, cheers, John
i just realised when i play this song my pick is just barely touching the string the nail of my pointer finger is actually doing the strumming it adds a pretty cool effect
Hey Justin, been subscribed for a while and your guitar lessons have helped me out a lot. Beginners need a place to start and someone to guide them. A suggestion for your next lesson should be "October" by Broken Bells. Thanks for the videos
Thank you for the great lesson, I really appreciate the arrangement of the different guitar parts for one player! The only thing that could be improved imho is the rhythm for the intro. If we write it as straight 16th notes (1e&a 2e&a...) the rhythm for the first two chords (0-9-11 and 9-9-11) is: xxox ooxo xoox ooox with x meaning unaccented (i.e. only the two lowest strings being played) and o meaning accented (i.e. all three strings being played) For the second two chords (5-5-7 and back to 9-9-11) the rhythm is a constant xxox xxox.... As you go back to 0-9-11 it just repeats.
Thanks! one question - what amp/combo setting you d suggest? I'm using Fender Mustang-1 and aiming for that clean grungy sound. I believe I can't ask much of the Mustang here but maybe a hint towords a direction. Thanks!
Nice job mate. Not only do you nail the chords in the songs you teach, you nail all of the tones as well !! You must have tons of gear....Do you use real amps & pedals or do you use computers & DAWs? If it's software, what do you use to get your tones ?
So stupid question, why is it that I cannot get my guitar to sound ANYTHING like it’s supposed to? Is it my amp? Incorrect tuning? Cheap guitar the culprit? I’m a complete noobie, no actual lessons or formal training. Just trying to teach myself this song, it’s my favorite song of all time and holds such deep meaning to me.
Justin....question for you....I have four acoustic guitars and all the body widths are different...does a wider body have a better sound They range from 4 3/4 down to 4 5/8 to 4 1/2. And the last one which is an epiphone dove pro at 4 3/8....interested in an answer on this
I am beginner guitar guy few weeks in I only have acoustic I want to learn how to tune in drop d where is a good place to start anything helps I’m prob looking rong places

Can you try giving the actual chord names as well as only just the strings and frets. Like I'm thinking the first is D7 chord with the dropped D.
Complete beginner but the strumming helped by visualizing 1 1 2 1---2 1 1 2 for the strum pattern in the beginning. 1's for the bass chord and 2's for the strumming all the way through. Hope this helps
The first guitar teacher who plays the bridge correcly !
Where? Not here that's for sure.
Not at all.

Justin always does a good accurate job of explaining how to play a song. He is usually my first "go to."
Yeah. Marty is terrible. Will never use him
You are a gifted teacher Justin - you explain what is happening really clearly helping us to get many different things from your breakdown of what is going on with both hands - thanks :-)
Your rhythm teaching is the best !

I tune in to learn , but find myself watching you play time and time again..... great entertainment. ....

Long time subscriber...never tried to play a Drop D song before until I saw this video. What a fantastic lesson, thank you!
Glad you liked it!

Justin I just played the second riff!!! Thank you!!!!
Best version on TH-cam, amazing.
thank you very much :)
ive been waiting for this lesson for everlong! Thanks justin! :)
Dave Grohl said in a public interview that he thinks of the guitar as kind of like drums.
Wait a sec...
Yup he did.
But actually, it`s a guitar.
His timing is perfect on guitar because he is such a good drummer.
I’ve actually heard many people say guitar is a percussive instrument so maybe there’s something to that
Oh shit. I am so stoned that until he talked I thought that I was on a Marty Schwartz video..When he looked up I thought it was NORM MCDONALD.
Rick James hahahahaha
lmfao im so glad im not the only one who thought the same
Me too. 😂😂😂
Ha!
no shit dude!
Love your work Justin. I was struggling to find an easy-ish song to get more into drop-d tuning and everlong is turning out to be very fun to play. Cheers.
Brilliant guitar playing!Loved it!Wish I could do that,looks tough for a late beginner/just getting to intermediate.But glorious sound.
We appreciate your work man, i'm a guitarist because of you and no one else....you are a great teacher! Thanks for teaching me guitar...CW~
Wow!... Thanks... What more does a guitar player need to learn a song... Again... Thanks!...
Great tutorial mate, my favourite FF tune. Great tone on that old Gibbo too.
I realy think this song sounds more awesome on an acoustic guitar but for obvious reasons you chose the classic version.

How long, have we been waiting for this lesson 😁
too long... I throw myself into... more foo!
How long? ....... Ever long?!?
Yep, great tutorial. Thanks Justin, awesome as usual. First one in 2018 please can you do.....Run?
Thanks for you interpretation Justin. Much appreciated
Awesome as always, Justin
Yo Justin thank you for everything you do. You rock man!
Hey Justin, why dont you make a video about your gear and equipment.
I would like to know about mics, guitars (inc. pc soft&plugins), pickups, amps you posses and use to make your videos. It seems you have quite an inventory there!
Happy New Year!
Agree with you, especially here the guitar,amp,mic etc.
Just brill Justin..a great driving song full of energy! Love the way you describe all the nuances..started learning today more or less have "that" sound! Gave my daughter Lydia a demo when she called on me..she loved it..well she's in love with Dave Grohl! 😊 thanks for the lesson Justin, cheers, John
very good and understandable video as always, the best lessons on youtube :)) thank you :)
This is the best tutorial for Everlong I’ve seen. The fingerings are perfect. Even his tone is perfect. Great work sir!
Great sound ! Still using the kemper for these lessons ?
For sure! :)
Thanks Justin. More Foo!
more Foo planned for 2018
i just realised when i play this song my pick is just barely touching the string the nail of my pointer finger is actually doing the strumming it adds a pretty cool effect
Wow.....impeccable transposition/rendition!!
Justin, could you possible share your eq/tone setup for this please. Cant quite nail the same sound as yours. Thanks!
thay tone so beautiful!
Get your head phones on!!!!!! That sounded amazing. Goosebumps man.
Always to you first in search...ThanQ Man.
thanks, fantastic lesson, you made my day !
Hey Justin, been subscribed for a while and your guitar lessons have helped me out a lot. Beginners need a place to start and someone to guide them. A suggestion for your next lesson should be "October" by Broken Bells. Thanks for the videos
This is the best song ever written
OUTSTANDING, BROTHER!
nice intro, cool t-shirt, great lesson
Hell yes! You kept the high notes!
Great lesson! What amp, and or pedals are you using in this video, the tone is great?! Thanks so much
Playing this song acoustic. Do you recommend a thicker Pick or a thinner pick
wicked thanks for all the great tutorials...
Thank you for the great lesson, I really appreciate the arrangement of the different guitar parts for one player!

My favourite teacher
Another awesome lesson! Thanks Justin, hope you have a happy new year!
We love you Justin
Happy new year Justin
Thanks! one question - what amp/combo setting you d suggest? I'm using Fender Mustang-1 and aiming for that clean grungy sound. I believe I can't ask much of the Mustang here but maybe a hint towords a direction. Thanks!
Sorry dude, I just don't know! Too many variables!
Believe that's true =) I imagine there's pedal boar in front of you...
try a semi cranked ac30 model ;)
Justin - would you be able to do an acoustic version?
I think you'll find that Pat did play on the original recording. Chris joined the band later after Pat had left.
Very cool J.
For anyone looking to be a badass, play all of these riffs on an acoustic.
learned it on acoustic first
also my first song i learned
Not that hard brother😉😎
Love it!
That’s amazing... thank you so much!
ur welcome!
AWESOME VIDEOO😍😍🤩🤩🤩
Great tone wow. Also I’ve been playing it wrong for 20 years, regards.
Wow. Very good break down of all parts. So feels like I'm cheating. Thanks Justin
What do you set the amp to? Sorry very beginner here lol
killed it!!
I dig what you do
You sounded fantastic
Thanks, my all time favorite!
Justin, will you teach how to play
“ Here without you” by 3 Doors Down. I know you get a lot of request but please add that song to your list...
ahh so good😍
Another good song!
Keep it up man!
sure is! Happy New Year!
hes almost having too much fun I love it
Hey Justin can you please do a lesson on pretender because I have to learn it for my band thx if you do
Justin Your Awesome
You're a good egg, Justin.
I can pretty much play this acoustically and unplugged buy just can't get this sound on my Katana Boss. What amp setting would be best for this
I'd love a good acoustic arrangement, Dave does it live sometimes but I don't know if he keeps these odd voicings.
You're clearly enjoying playing this song😁
awesome! what great rhythm!
What a jam
what amp settings do u use??
Nice job mate. Not only do you nail the chords in the songs you teach, you nail all of the tones as well !!
You must have tons of gear....Do you use real amps & pedals or do you use computers & DAWs? If it's software, what do you use to get your tones ?
Can you do a lesson on all along the watchtower by Jimi Hendrix?
ohh this
Hi Justin can you please make a video for extreme- unconditionally
So stupid question, why is it that I cannot get my guitar to sound ANYTHING like it’s supposed to? Is it my amp? Incorrect tuning? Cheap guitar the culprit?

Good job 🙂
thank you very much!
Justin....question for you....I have four acoustic guitars and all the body widths are different...does a wider body have a better sound
They range from 4 3/4 down to 4 5/8 to 4 1/2. And the last one which is an epiphone dove pro at 4 3/8....interested in an answer on this
I am beginner guitar guy few weeks in I only have acoustic I want to learn how to tune in drop d where is a good place to start anything helps I’m prob looking rong places

Wishing you the best for 2018!!!!!
That D string breaks up so nice.
