Jesus loves you and he died for you. The Love of God Love is sooo big. He can listen to your sorrow, to your doubt, to your depression, to your joy, to your anxiety... Literally everything ! He cares about you, start to care more about him. Read the Bible if you want to learn more ❤❤
I wish your template was used more often for songs I try to learn. It is upper well done and hyper efficient for my style brain. My only suggestion is to play it in the entirety at the culmination of the lesson. Either way it’s the best format I’ve found by far; youtube or otherwise. Thanks
Glad you like it! As for playing the full thing, I should start doing that for sure, but it takes a lot of editing to do 5 mins of song. If I can ever manage to hire someone to help with that, I'll definitely upgrade my format.
Although you explain the song on an acoustic guitar, for me this is the best tutorial of the song. Your way of explaining is encouraging, calm, sympathetic and above all encouraging.
Better than staying up till 3 am playing WoW. I don't want to be a bad influence or anything, but when I started guitar in Grade 12.. I would go home at lunch and skip the last 2 blocks, just practicing guitar for the rest of the day.
good lesson, i have been looking for a while for a lesson of more than just the intro riff, you are right about trying the solo on acoustic (can't get the right sound by pushing the strings, i dont think the strings can even bend that much) ,all in all thank you good sir
I like how you explain these songs, you do a good job getting across to a beginner like me. This was my very first time picking up a guitar to play seriously, and I already got down the intro part of the song, one of my favorites by nirvana btw, and I’m gonna keep practicing the solo and the rest. Thank you
it about 7:00pm and I have five guitars and four sore calloused fingers on my left hand and writing out the tab to give me a break. James, you are the man.
@wrestlegamia productions any song name???? I can't move cords that good It's been 2 hours since I picked up a guitar and I only know 2 riffs I feel so demoralized My fingers hurt
My man you are a god tier teacher I bought my Dean electric one week ago and because of you I was able to play all of this you are my fav teacher and you make everything easier for me than other TH-camrs on here thank you
Ist 6:10 in the morning, I've learned playing guitar for like 12 hours. My fingers hurt so bad, I should go to bed. The last months I've learned with an application for my smartphone and though it was good. Because the TH-cam tutorials I've found in the past weren't good. BUT. your channel is insane, thank you really much for your time and help! With your tutorials it is so easy to learn guitar and it makes really much fun. Thanks!!!

Hi! Just wanna say THANK you! Just got my guitar today (total beginner) and I learned the song!(almost😜) just on a few hours 👌👌 thanks for explaining this so slowly, watched lots of video’s but this is the one where I learned from🙏
From my experience of doing EADGBE and DGCFAD, it's much easier to bend it on the former, but it doesn't bend as much as I would like. What I do is I pick one higher note and then bend. It sounds good enough for me in my opinion.
I just saw the headstock so i know the answer. Thank you for the lessons they are helping me brush up fantastically. I started playing when i was 7 and carried on until my early 20's, 22 actually and got quite proficient but then my father passed away and through grief i never picked a Guitar up again for 27 years. I'm finding it easy to refresh, not sure why but i think it's the mere fact i've just caught the bug again and i got looking through his Guitar collection, full of vintage Guitars and it reignited the need for me to start playing again. So thank you.
Excellent. Thank you for taking the time to share this in a way that empathizes with all of us who were born without rhythm, coordination, an ear for music or any natural ability or talent whatsoever. Really. One day I am going to learn how to play one song on one of my 5 guitars, and I think Come As You Are might be the one.
James thank you so much for this video. Your teaching method and speed is just perfect for beginners. I haven't learnt the entire song yet but I'm making progress. Thank you for doing this!
@@Mike-fj6xe I downloaded guitartuna app, its very easy to use, I learned in this week how to play Satisfaction, Come as you are, The Man who sold the world and Smells like teen spirit, thanks tho
Hey thanks for the lesson man. So I've been struggling with the chord changes from F5 to A mostly because it is a complete change in shape and I can't seem to get the timing right at all. But maybe for beginners when they aren't so familiar to changes in shapes of chords, you could teach them to an alternate way. What I did was I played A5 on the fifth fret, sixth string. You're keeping the same chord shape and moving it down the fret board. I found this to be much more easy than changing to a different shape.
Dude 🤣🤣 I was messing around with my guitar and I managed to play the first 3 notes of the song... So I paused and said... Nah man I gotta see if I'm right 🤣🤣 AND I WAS🤣🤣 man this is how I'm gonna impress my family and friends thanks man awsome video... Easy to follow and really fun to just watch
You made this shit super easy man. I can almost play the whole song. The way you break things down is perfect. I subbed. Can you do Nirvana- Polly next?
Thank you so much for this video. I am new to guitar and I am working towards playing this song. I was practicing for hours today and got the main riff down pretty decent and it feels pretty cool making this progress. This video is very easy to understand and follow. :)
Thanks for this tutorial, i just have one question. I have a lot of trouble to place my fingers on the tab, i feel like I lack fingers flexibility. How can I do?
it's fun to lose and to pretend I'm over-bored and self assured oh no I know a dirty word Hello hello hello how low hello hello hello how low hello hello how low when the lights out it's less dangerous here we are now entertain us I feal stupid and contagious here we are now entertain us a mulado an albino a mosquito my libido yeah hey!
Good to find this after checking out a fair few other channels. Delivered the lesson so clearly for a beginner like me to understand. I’ve subscribed. Thanks a lot and very well done to you.
Thanks bro.I started to play guitar a week ago and i knew this song but i felt that something went wrong.I couldnt imagine how to use my fingers and then i watched this video.It helped a lot.
thank you i learned very fast not gonna lie your a really good teacher i thought simply guitar would but nope if get the wrong cord sometimes it may count it as right
It’s four in the morning, I don’t even own a guitar
Lol
Felt that
I bought a guitar after watching this video at 4am in the morning
Nice.. Rest in poop!
i feel for you man 😂 ik what it’s like
My brother said there were only two cords to learn to this song, he said it’s super easy, but I’ve been awake since 1:30 am and it’s 7:27 pm rn.
Nah its a hard song to learn especially for a beginner
that goddamn up up part is what makes it so hard for me. like letting the bottom two continue ring out but not hit them on the upstroke
@@cameronhumphries2377 😂 i have big hands so its somewhat difficult for me to play guitar
@@Elasquantum idk i find people with big and long fingers easier for them to learn instruments doesn t put much pressure on their wrist
L.J. Small I relate lmfao
“The challenge is to mute the string” nah my challenge is not muting them 99% of the time when I don’t mean to
Same, my teacher will be like "play an open chord" and I will end up playing the most complex of all chords on accident because I will mute all of them

I didn't think I would ever be able to learn to play the guitar, but your video was so helpful! Now I'm learning to play my favorite band!
Nirvana is the best
Must I suggest Alice in chains and the foo fighters.
Are you like really good now?
@@tommy1___106that’s what I’m wondering
I love how he explains the riff cause most just throw it at you but he actually explained it and now I can play it
It's great but then you try to sing after this easy intro, you understand the real power of nirvana
ikr LmAo
Lmao
I tried to sing it while playing the riff, but it took a lot of time to sync in.
Ikr its hard
Preach! Lol
very easy to understand for beginner
keep up the good work
Thanks, Nguyen! Are you watching from Vietnam?
yes i am :)

Pls help, I want to play a chord but the tips of my fingers keep touching other strings which gives it that faded buzz sound. How do I stop this
Tried looking to learn from others and I couldn't understand or keep up. You made it so much simpler to understand by breaking it up into sections.

great video! thank you for the clear instructions and pace, very easy to understand
When i have this B5 D5 do I play only 3 strings? Or im playing 5 and muting those with x? I know thats a stopid question but i want to be sure 😅
Super nice and easy to understand tutorial. Congrats!
The intro riff sounds choppy when I play it
You can let the notes ring, but remember the original recording uses mega reverb and chorus effects on the electric guitar so it has a distinct sound.
This is so good you make everything super easyy
I'm at 5:10 for 2 days now and always when I try this the A string gets muted. Am I doing something wrong?
