You Can't Be Dave Grohl... but You CAN Play "My Hero" the Way He Does on His Acoustic Guitar!

- What a brilliant unplugged version of such a brilliant song. It's meta-brilliant. My Hero by Foo Fighters is one of my go-to's when I play covers live and acoustic. In this video I combine several different options of how one might play the requisite chords with how Dave Grohl has been spotted doing it in the wild for a myriad of tasty options. I hope you enjoy it and good luck!

Every time I learn a Foo Fighters tune, I think about the Dave Grohl interview where he explains how he learned guitar by treating the fretboard as a drum kit. Very interesting.
indeed!
I think alot about that one as well 😀
That c# minor with the little hammer ons is tricky! Typical Dave treating the guitar like a drum kit! Great lesson as always mate💪🤙🍻
that Dave. Cheers to you CKM always nice to hear from you.
Oh I actually had the easiest time with that and a hard time with the rest
@@RyanLendt this guy knows his stuff. but i think he is on crack
Yeah it’s tricky because the chord is hit hard but the lick has some finesse to it
Strumming hand is def underrated in the guitar world! Down down up up on E Chord then you slide ring finger to the 6 fret and bar the rest on 4th fret with pointer... your right hand is in position to go down up down up repeatedly and just add hammer on's accordingly on the 7th(pinky) and 5th(pointer) fret of G string... On every third stroke there's a hammer on so the strumming direction changes each time too. As follows:
Down, up, *down with pinky finger, up, down, *up with pinky finger, down, up, *down with pointer finger, *up with pointer finger again...
Thats how I was taught almost identical to this video, hope the detail helps!!
Do I even have to say it anymore?? Ok. I will.
I LOVE CAMPIRE VERSION OF ANYTHING. So steamy. (😀)
even though I didn't say it, that was for you too Nick :)
Making chords ringy outy is always my preferred way to play!
especially when solo acoustic!
We all know what ringy outy is. 🤣
One of the best tutorials I’ve seen lately, straight to the point. No bs, thanks for this tutorial. Great job!
thank you for that Javier :) cheers!
Agreed 100%. Found this channel in the last month. And have learned several great songs quickly. Really great breakdowns.
Still working on this one. Super happy that you gave so many good choices of various difficulties. You are an amazing teacher.
I'm just happy you're happy :)
Dude you are awesome! I have been watching the Howard stern version over and over trying to figure out one little part where the focus was on Dave and not the guitar. It was driving me crazy keeping me up at night! I can sleep now. Thank you Ryan Lendt you are my hero😉
haha what timing!! sweet dreams Glenn :)
glenn bastarache I experienced the exact same thing
@@rageagainsthememe71 Ryan is the best teacher on TH-cam hands down his approach and humor is second to none!
There aren't too many tutorials out there where a person can watch the video and walk away being able to play the entire song in either a simplified manner or more correct actual way the artist plays the song. He is really good at filling in holes that others are leaving out or playing wrong.
I just wish Ryan would look at me in his videos instead of my wife who is usually standing behind me and slightly to the left🤔
I watch that video at least once a day
one day I'll play this song on my guitar.. gonna practice everyday !
good luck Daniel!
did you learn how to play it?
Ok so I just found this channel like 10 minutes ago. I like it so much that I'm watching his videos without even trying to play the songs on the guitar (because it's 3 AM and I'd wake up my family). I just love his positivity and energy, keep it up bro
Thanks so much for finding me Mega Rockstar, and for inviting me into your home at 3AM :) I'll be excited to hear how it goes with a guitar in your hand
Holy shit. It's 3 am. I'm watching this without playing while my guitar sits in eyesight. Just discovered this channel about 10 minutes ago.
@@hoardlydad lmao, I passed on my legacy
@@RyanLendt dude I started actually playing the songs you teach and damn it was really helpful. Thanks a lot for all the work you put into teaching us!
Same bro
At the back here, closing the distance, one song at a time! Thank you brother.
As always x
Great teaching, great lesson!
I was looking for this song.
Thanks!
cheers FB!
Love all the variations that you explained! You're a natural teacher 👍
thanks for that Mukul :)
Congratulations on hitting 20K subscribers, well deserved!
Thank you so much Tom Tom!
you put quite the effort to give us a lot of subtle information you don't get from tabs or other youtubers, thank you! overwhelmingly underrated and awesome teacher. enjoyed alot and insta subbed
thanks yoni! I'm glad you found me :)
Amazing lesson! I'm going to try to rock this one! This is a perfect song for me at this time. Wish me luck, I'm going in! There Goes my hero, he's ordinary! You rock Ryan!
Thank you BB :) I wish you luck!
Congratulations on the 20,000! And happy Foos Day!
Thanks Kevin!!!! Thanks for being here :)
What a fun way to teach a song. I enjoyed the presentation as much as the new ideas I got from the actual video!!
thanks so much DOD! Glad you had a good time :)
awesome tutorial. Great job weaving in the elements of the acoustic versions
thank you so much max mah :)
Iam so glad you made this video, the way he did it in the HSS is the best version I've ever heard...just shows how talented Dave is...cause the way he did it was just awe...Thanks for the song choice and that version...
cheers Jamie :)
Wow dude!! amazing lesson! One the best i've ever seen! Thank you for your work!
thanks so much for hanging out :)
You’re my Hero, awesome explanation of options. Love your videos. Thank you.
dawwww thanks Andre :) Cheers!
Ryan, thank you so much for making this video. I remember listening to this live and it was definitely a reason why I wanted to learn the acoustic guitar.
I love this lesson.
glad you found it :)
Not only thank you for all the awesome tutorials you present but also the school boy smile you put on my face like I was in 1st grade hearing my first diarrhea joke. You're amazing. You've definitely evolved in a positive way with you tutorials. Not to take away from the refreshing exuberance of your early tabs with all the Pearl Jam videos.
cheers Benjamin - I definitely recognize your name from way back when - thanks for hanging out for all this time :)
always come back to your lessons for tips and tricks that no one else does right! much love man!
much love Hsquared :)
Very Nice tutorial, liked so much, Straight to the point! Tks , cheers, from Brazil
cheers Paulo!
Great job, man! There are a lot of incorrect tutorials out there but yours are on the money...and funny. You capture all the nuances & proper chord voicings. Thank you!
cheers greg!
I already like your tut for Silverchair's Tomorrow - but this one even more. Strumming it this way or the other ... or however it floats your boat. Love it - thank you 👍🤠
It's music my good man, your only obligation is to have a good time 😋!
Wonderful tutorial one of the best truly. I like the variation
why thank you Trev :)

that's what i live for sony - cheers, welcome, and thanks for the shout!
Same!
I've been looking at a few different versions and this is a great video. Thanks
thank you sir
Damn Mr Lendt, - you just made my favouritist Foos song accessible, you right legend ya!! - Cheers!!
cheers Sy!
I love how you just did a lesson on the names of the individual parts if songs and then use the term "inter thingy". Well done
haha I assure you that was a happy accident!
Easily the best demo of that song man and i saw the show to which you refer.......absolutely the real deal. Thank you.
I appreciate that very much Electric Voyage - cheers and thank you!
This lesson is so good that I'm back for a third helping. Love those Foo riffs :D
haha awesome Kow - cheers :)
That is such a great tutorial. I tried to replicate that Howard Stern version through a thousand pauses. Not easy! Now I have it. Thanks!!
my pleasure brad cheers!
the best guitar teacher on the internet, thanks for what you do, really thanks 🙏
thanks for that Fab :)
Thank you so much Ryan for answering my request!
thanks for the great request and the tip robert - had you not mentioned the howard stern show to me I would have missed at least 3 really cool things. You saved the day!
Just found your channel. Enjoy the way you teach. Very easy for a late blooming beginner. Thanks!
welcome to the party Brian thanks for the shout!
Nice as usual. Can’t believe this free!!
:)
Hands down the best tutorial of this epic song! Great humour and hacks 👌 I'm going to try it but probably out of my depth as I struggle with some oasis chords.. (-:
hahaha well give it a shot until your brain is full, retreat to your oasis chords, and come back another day :) Good luck Brad thanks for the shout
Thanks Ryan, good stuff. Makes me feel better that you thought parts of that song was hard too. I don’t feel as dumb. Keep up the good work!
don't you worry, I teach plenty of stuff I can't actually play :P
Very helpful how you showed all the variations on simple chords
cheers JB
Dude that was great man. I like the way u teach man
welcome to the party new friend :)
I like that you talked about all the different versions of the song, leaving us to choose our most preferred.
cheers friend
That’s exactly what I don’t like about this lesson… maybe show alternate methods at the end…
😍😍😍 I love Foo Fighter Tuesday!! Can’t wait to play this.

I'm so happy you're happy vomit guy - say hello to Rome for me!
You got me playing from total beginner in the first uk lockdown, and Now as we enter another your channel will be my companion. You're ace. I wonder, can you possibly do an acoustic tutorial of spinning in the daffodils by them crooked vultures. There are none I can find 👀 big love
it's an honor Helen, thanks so much for having me in your quarantivities - and thanks for the request!
This is one of the best tutorials I've found on YT.

What a great tutorial! Loads of little eccentricities to work away with there!
why thank you GW :)
Best version on youtube so glad you made this. The Howard Stern version is the best acoustic version so much emotion
thanks so much ML - cheers to you :)
I love that guitar lesson, so popular. But hey, can you do a cover of My Hero and use your acoustic guitar, SG bass, Les Paul guitar and Telecaster with Gibson burstbucker pickups, please?
Big congrats on 20K subs, Ryan!!!
thanks Bob! And thanks for being such a friendly piece of the puzzle :)
Your screen presence is awesome man like your playing! Amazing job thank you, shout out to Kermit 👍
hey thanks for the shout Lenz - Kermit says hello as well!
I am grateful for you. Playing like crazy. I feel like people like think I’m nuts. And they would be right. Because I am nuts. Love your channel dude. You are amazing.
like, cashew nuts or chili lime almond nuts? Thanks for being here Mark :)
Cashews I think. Possibly peanuts. Not almonds. Boy I am having fun with your lessons. Thanks dude.
Great stuff, I already do that one but will definitely layer some of the alternate chords shape and little things you do in there, Faaabulous darling(said with a british accent)!
hehe thaaaaaaank you dahhhhhling :)
More foo fighters please!! Maybe some more unknown tutorials of the Foo fighters!
Fear not kind Lucas, we will get deep with foo :)
Great video bro! Helps a lot! Defo subscribing
welcome to the party Will!
That link I sent you has the same F shaped G that Eddie used on “Thumbing my Way”. And he does the regular G too. The “cheat” to do the D shaped G on the 7th fret was super helpful. Crazy reach that Eddie has, especially with more or less 0 mistakes. Anyway, thank you for your craft.
in our defense though he plays a teeny tiny guitar when he does those things :)
Thanks for the tutorial man, It helped me a Lot
cheers and thank you CH :)
Fantastic, looks so easy good job man
cheers friend
Thats a great hack for the chorus. Was struggling to play it before I saw that. Thanks.
welcome.
I love how you replied to every comment .that’s dedication
I refuse to respond to this comment. oh, oops!
Druthers is a contraction of “would rather’s”?? Why has life taught me so little and this gentleman so much?! Mind blown.
ha! I love using that word because my grandpa used to use it :)
Hey Ryan. First I want to say I found this tutorial very very valuable, thanks so much for putting it out here on youtube!
Also, here is what I do for that "8, 9, 11" part...Would you take a look and let me know if I'm missing anything?
Thumb mutes Low E string, pointer finger wraps around and mutes the others on fret 6.
Open A, pinky on 8th fret G string. Move the whole shape up to 8, 9, 11, then 8, 9, 6
Then E string open. The pointer finger is still muting the same strings (fret 6), but frets that A string. Pinky frets fret 8 G string. The whole shape moves again to do the same thing: 8, 9, 11, but then 8, 9, 4
Numbers are relative to the pinky.
Does this all make sense? It's different than how you explained it, but there's freedom in how you play guitar.
Please let me know if I am missing something, or please let me know especially if you like this way.
Banging mate. This was brilliant
thanks Connor :)
Ohhhh dang.... what a day!!! 20K subs!!!! 🎺 🥇🍺🎂

Maaan. I know I am late but this tutorial is the best video on your channel.
thanks for that kabeer :) I must have taken my vitamins that day
Nice! Saved to play tonight!
get it Josh!
Just so ya know... when I search for a lesson for a song, as you know there are a lot of guys who teach it but I now choose your videos first. First, your videos are usually more detailed. 2. They are usually more accurate. 3. They are DEFINITELY more entertaining! I just noticed this is the acoustic version. I hope you have the electric version.
I appreciate you dear friend :)
This was nice tutorial, man! thanks!
thanks peter!
Subscribed because of your Van Halen cover. So glad I did.
