Right. Literally the first time I’m posting on TH-cam..been playing on and off for 30 years. Picked up the guitar again, like many, very seriously over the pandemic. It’s been a real release, and as a intensive care doctor, been immensely protective of my mental well-being. Your page in particular has been really special. So, thanks mate, from the bottom of my heart. Sadly my wife has become a guitar widow…
I'm really glad to hear what i do has helped you in some small way through such a difficult time. The work you and other doctors/healthcare providers do is so important and never moreso than the last 2+ years, so thank you for keeping us all going! :) Any tunes you'd like to see a tutorial for?
It really has helped. Re: tutorials. Would be great to see some more tuts off In Rainbows, specifically Reckoner. Really influenced by Nick Drake and Ben Howard but understand if acoustic fingerpicking in whacky alternate tunings is not your bag. Thanks again for what you do. Hands down the best and clearest tutorials on tube. You need way more subscribers.
I have just started with guitar and i have a learning disability (along with coordination issues) that make it hard to play but i'm trying to not give up and keep going and this helps inspire me to keep going because i love this song and would love to learn to play it one day.
Hey Sam, I'm so glad to hear you're enjoying the video. I'm sure if you stick with it you'll get there. It's quite a challenging song if you've just started out, so just take it slowly and go bit by bit. It'll take some time but you'll get there. Also if you want to email me (my email is on the "about" section of my page) I'll send you the tab for it if you like :)
This song is a beast, so many chords. I started playing 7 months ago and have been slowly chipping away at this song since my second month. Found this video today and it’s really helping me, a lot clearer and more accurate than others I’ve seen. Thanks!
thank you so much for that!!! i'm 15 and i discovered Jeff a while ago, so happy that i can finally play this awesome song. also sometimes i play small gigs and will definitely come up with this one. it's so beautiful and while singing it's hard not to cry;( i noticed that you plan on making lessons for every song on Grace, and if so, then please do that! it would be amazing (i plan on learning all the songs from this album, so it would be also very helpful!)!!! i'm so grateful to be a part of keeping jeffs music alive, and thank you again for helping me with this! have a nice day!
You're welcome Ola! :) That's so great you're playing gigs and playing some great music at them! Very cool. And yes I'll keep chipping away at making tutorials for Grace so should get the whole album done one day :) Hope you have a lovely day too!
Finally I learn here the chords I was missing even with other videos. The explanations and breakdown of the parts are excellent. Great job ! thanks a lot. Best video for that song and I will watch more of yours. You rock !
You're welcome! Haha well I'd already made the cover video and just did this tutorial today. Grace is my favourite album too so I'm extra motivated with these ones :)
@@davedoingguitar Grace is just a perfect album. One of the best imo. Jeff Buckley was not only one of the best singers, but a really good guitarist, and you’re able to play just like him. Keep up the good work!
@@idith7403 yeah I think it really is perfect too! Literally never get sick of listening to it. Thank you so much, that's too kind of you. Jeff was obviously one of the greatest vocalists ever but an absolute wizard on guitar as well so it's always a pleasure sharing his music with others :)
@@davedoingguitar Thank you Dave 🙏 Could you do the version off "Mystery White Boy" please? 🙏❤️ Also, I realise that I'm pushing the friendship, but could you do one for "All That I Ask" off "Live At Olympia"? 🙏 Love your work mate 😁😎✌️❤️ Aussie 🇦🇺Aussie 🇦🇺 Aussie 🇦🇺 Oi! 🪃 Oi! 🪃 Oi! 🪃
Man, you are a god!!!I've been looking for all jeff's songs tutorial for all my life and then..boom! Here you are!!!only one question: could you do eternal life tutorial?I'll be very grateful. Thank you very much!!!!
Hello!It would be great if you could upload an extra tutorial for the intro of this song from "live in Chicago" performance!!! I am trying for so long to figure it out...
i just started teaching myself guitar again for the first time in 3 years, what kind of skill level do you think it takes to learn and play this song? Im looking forward to working toward it ! :)
The verse chords are pretty standard, easier chords but it can become a little trickier with the section that moves up the neck as well as some more jazz chords which when beginning guitar can be difficult to move into position. But like anything if you take it slowly and go chord by chord, section by section you can chip away at it and learn it :)
Great lesson here, man. One of my favorite songs ever, too. I've subscribed now. Question, though: do those ascending/ descending chords in the chorus have a name? They're new to me.
What works best for me (also s beginner) is to use it these videos alongside some online tabs as well as the original song. Then you can cross reference which chords go where
Hi Dave - great lesson ! On the album version it feels like an acoustic playing and then the electric kicks in during this pre verse (1:18 on the album - 4:15 on your lesson) Do you think the acoustic is playing the same riff or playing chords in the background ?
Thanks so much :) Just had a quick listen and it sounds like the acoustic plays chords underneath the two slowly arpeggiated chords played by the electric, and then the two guitars (acoustic and electric) join up and play the same strummy chords from the Bmin onwards. Could be wrong but that's what I think happens there :)
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO JEFF'S COVER OF I KNOW IT'S OVER PLEASE I AM BEGGING
Great version, I'll see what I can do :)
ANNNNND?
@@davedoingguitarPlease man 😭
ZZZZ THE SMITHS BEST EVER
Can I just ask for the strumming? I can’t seem to get it sorry
This is perfect. Thanks for this.
You're welcome :)
I love these videos but for some reason I can never wrap my head around any of the strumming patterns
Have you done Forget Her yet?
Not yet but I'll pop it on the list :)
Just made a cover of Forget Her and the tutorial will be out tomorrow :)
@@davedoingguitar sweet!
In case anyone needs it, I wrote down the order and how many times each part of the song is played:
Verso x3
Pre chorus A
Verse x3
Pre chorus B
Bridge
Chorus
Verse 3x
Pre chorus C
Verse 4x

Verse one last time
Thanks

does anyone know what the strumming pattern is to the first verse, I find it quite hard to follow without one.
this strumming pattern makes me want to break my guitar in half i dont understand🧍♀️
Don't try to play all the strings at once

Excellent work.
Thanks so much!
this was so easy to follow along with. yiu should teach a class this is really good :)
Hey thanks so much! Really appreciate the kind words :)
I've tried learning this so many times and failed. I got it first time a fellow Aussie teaches it. Thanks m8!!! Subscribed
Absolute legend MBG, thanks for the sub! Straya!! :)

great video! i've been having trouble with the chorus chords and this really helped them click for me
Thank you! Glad this helped you straighten it out :)
havent seen.a better tutorial for any song on youtube!! thankss a lot man
Thanks so much! Really appreciate that :)
Great work. Another feather in the cap 👌✌️
Thanks so much, glad you like it :)
Love it. Though it’s so hard to count the beats in this song.
Does have some tricky parts but worth it when you get there :)
Focus. Repetition until success. Don’t give up. I believe in you.
Dave you're awesome idek how you dont have more than 10k (although thats already a lot)
Thank you so much! Yeah I'm relatively low key haha, tell your friends! :)
Thanks m8, glad found ya channel you really helped 100%
My pleasure! Glad I could help :)
Can anyone break down the strumming pattern? The video is great but the strumming is really hard to keep up with.
really clear tutorial thank you sm!!!
You're welcome Elly :)
can anyone exxplain to me whats going on with the strummhing hand atleast during the verse?
Hey There! This is great stuff, keep doing this man it really helps! Great lesson.
Thanks so much! Will do :)
Really helpful
@@marcmccloskey9226 thank you!
THANK YOU SO SO SO MUCH
You're welcome :)
ma come ci capisce uno spiega dove passo
Thanks!!
Do you play this in middle possition pickup?
You're welcome! I think it's in neck position
Hi thanks for this cover. Great job ! Just a suggestion, on the interlude between the verses, it’s not a Bm but B/D. Cheers from France ✌️
Is this played on the acoustic geetar ?
Yeah there's an acoustic playing throughout the original too
Awesome
Thank you! :)
This is so great, many thanks!
My pleasure :) glad you like it!
Can you do this one again and talk about the theory a little more.

What’s the name of the chords in the chorus
Great lesson here, man. One of my favorite songs ever, too. I've subscribed now. Question, though: do those ascending/ descending chords in the chorus have a name? They're new to me.
what’s the tuning?
Standard, mentioned at 0:44
Could you maybe do some more details into the strumming?
i learned the strums by playing along with the song🙌 think of the strums as rhythms instead of individual strums
In what order does the song go? Like the parts in sequence. I'm still a beginner and can't figure out the order for some reason
What works best for me (also s beginner) is to use it these videos alongside some online tabs as well as the original song. Then you can cross reference which chords go where
you should teach the song from start to finish other than that good tutorial
That's what I've done, every section is included here as they appear chronologically in the song. Some parts are just repeats
Hi Dave - great lesson ! On the album version it feels like an acoustic playing and then the electric kicks in during this pre verse (1:18 on the album - 4:15 on your lesson) Do you think the acoustic is playing the same riff or playing chords in the background ?
