Guitar Lesson: How To Play Black Hole Sun - Chris Cornell Solo Acoustic Style 

Anything?

I’ve never had a one on one with Ryan but I would bet good money that if a person can play a guitar well enough to be considered just a beginner, that he would be able to teach them anything..only possible problem would be said person “learning “ it 🤣 seriously tho no one simplifies teaching songs better than Mr Lendt THANK U RYAN

Thanks for the tutorial Ryan. I was looking at fudging the chords but now will practice the 'right' ones. Professional tip: Get into the practice of looking at the camera and not at yourself on the screen (too easy to default to, like a clamp F instead of a barre). Makes a difference for your viewers ;)

i friggen love that shape i know exactly what you're talking about!

'Bear claw', shape, Phoebe : "first rule of playing the guitar.... don't touch the guitar!"

I'm very glad you enjoyed that Andrew - welcome to the party!

I can't even imagine. I love audioslave.

I love that, thank you David :)

I was thinking about it... since you asked I think I will :) Thanks for asking Bryce!

you're most welcome thanks for hanging out :)

Pluvia, your comment makes me so very happy. Thank you for being here, and I wish you the very best of luck in your majestic endeavor!

F%#% the theory man. Just do it. Have your Ol' Man show you the CAGED system assuming hes a guitarist & knows it and that'll take you a long way.

thanks EM!

cheers to you MC

He is definitely one of the very best of all time. Limo Wreck - on the list!

Glad it was helpful!

thanks Mike.

My pleasure!

love it! yep, learning "what you're doing" when it comes to chris is often not worth the effort - especially since he wrote by ear and not by "knowing". happy to help, glad to help Thomas cheers :)

indeed.

glad that was helpful bob :) spent 21 months near philly en route to the south.

greetings Steve!

cheers to you dude.

Great request, Mr. Thrown :)

:( that's insult to injury. I feel you Daniel.

I was suppose to see him at the STL show as well..

taking the tour I see :)

@@RyanLendt sure am. Thank you!

Thanks so much Gianes! Thinking about it I am, great requests!

Glad to help!

I'd imagine the military isn't super accommodating to your concert schedule! Also, I was born in NJ and have been to Germany once, we're practically twins :)

haha that's the spirit J!

@@RyanLendt 🤯

I did it long ago

Any time

yay!

why thank you Ruihall!

haha nice guitar you have Shawn! and you're not the first, or even the second person to request that. I oughtta look into it...

@@RyanLendt Thank you! I hope you find the time. The guitar was a gift from my dead dad. He would've never got a guitar like that for me as a kid, but after he died it was my money to spend. So one of the first things he did was buy me a REALLY nice guitar.

oh well there it is now I have to hear it :) thanks for the kindness Kevin I'm glad you're enjoying your time here :)

thanks :)

What's up Raul! I've done a campfire version of fell on black days , and definitely plan to do a real version - thank you for being here!

thanks for the idea wilson :)

thanks E :)

:) this is exactly as it should be

Not QUITE every day, but almost ;) I really appreciate that ABC - The answer is: I'm on a MISSION (and yes I do sleep, you can tell my mom to stop worrying about me)

cheers Carlos :)

Welcome

I love everything about Seattle except the weather :P

thanks for the request Joseph!

Yes I would love to do the actual lead parts for black hole sun! and all the rest of those. thanks for the requests Kevin!

thanks Rob! I do believe I've done that

@@RyanLendt I shall go back through your tutorials, however a search of your channel says differently. Will keep ya posted

@@RyanLendt As promised, I have scoured your channel for a campfire version. Although I have found a very intuitive bunch of tuts for the full version - Alas, no campfire... Don't stress, I'll see what I can do with what you already have and perhaps even send you the campfire version I derive from that!!

thanks ron!

blasphemers welcome :)!

Because I’m unskilled and lazy, I found this easier: 5-5-5-5 to x1-0-0-1x

nice find Brent - not RIGHT RIGHT but not wrong wrong either :)

haha I meant to mention that on your shoutout but i forgot!!! gotta wait for 6k OOPS :) If he's still subbed, please offer him my apologies for jamming up his feed with stuff he's not interested in - and thanks to both of you, times millions, as always :)

ne'er-do-wells ;) Chris is the stuff of legends. I'm sad for the 200 more songs we're not going to hear :(

Thank you, Pierce Brosnan's character in Mrs. Doubtfire ;)

You must have me confused with Stephen/Steven... and yes, I'm still awake

lazy try - he was Stu in that movie :)

Ah yeah... Sir Stu I think

I've done that :) thanks SM!

thought you'd like that :)

Ryan Lendt anything “campfire” I’m a fan of. (Alive please) 🤙🏼

I second Alive.

thanks Jacob! definitely :)

well which one next??

:)

@@RyanLendt treasure trove of amazing lessons! Right when I needed them. Thanks buddy! Keep rocking in the free world! 🎸👊🙏

thanks D!, perhaps an effort in vain - chris had pipes...

of course I recognize your name Ryan, it's been following me around my whole life ;) But yeah of course I do. I keep ALMOST doing some melon, and for one reason or another it just keeps not happening. So it'll happen soon :) Thanks for the request!

Ryan Lendt i love how interactive u r with ur fans. Thanks so much bro, love ur stuff!

with a title like that I better! ;)

@@RyanLendt Looking forward to the instructional and the shenanigans!

Gosh I could discuss the answer to this question for hours. I tend to think everything is like everything else - or said a different way, in a broad sense every skill is your brain executing a certain pattern of things. I would wager that the electrical signals in your brain (not your brain of course) don't know whether you're playing guitar, talking, or using a spoon. So while when you're learning to use a spoon you'll be more coordinated some days and less others as you carve out the necessary neuro-muscular patterns for each variation of spoonmanship. once you become a proficient spoon user, you can just use a spoon every single time. And to give you something to look forward to, you could put that spoon down for a decade and certainly be able to eat farina without a second thought... like riding a bike :) I asked my golf mentor the same question about a year ago and his answer was roughly that as well (minus the breakfast grains) lending support to my everything is like everything else theory.

Hey Justin, maybe you need warm-up exercises with the particular mistake you are making. Sometimes I used to get on the nylon and I find myself plucking the wrong strings, cuz I was not properly visualizing the string location in my mind's eye. So I would stop and do some string skipping exercises and they would get me back on track. It often does not take long. Say around 5 mins practice at a particular skill will get you right back in the zone. It could be legato exercises. Phrasing whatever you need to focus on. Take a moment and lock in with a specific exercise.

interesting - a few RH requests lately, thanks Martin!

thanks for the ideas EC

:)

nice

unless it's a frozen tundra!
