YOU ARE A SAINT! Thank you so much for sharing the correct tab. You would NOT BELIEVE how much tone-deaf idiots there are out there uploading their shitty tabs of this song to the Internet and they're CONVINCED that it's 100% correct! And THEY ARGUE! THEY FUCKING ARGUE! Thank you! Thank you so much for this!
LOL The tabs in this video are absolutely INCORRECT as well. Ocean Avenue isn't a hard song to transcribe. Train your ears and you'll figure it out yourself.
Duuuuuude, amazing video setup! Do you have the rhythm part tabs in a downloadable file at all? It’s 20 years of Ocean Avenue this year and I want to play it ❤️
+PURPLE X UNDERDOG I'm glad you like them! Be sure to check out the other ones I have posted on to my RU-vid channel if you haven't seen them already. And I'm aiming to post more soon, so stay tuned! Thanks for watching!
No. To tune to drop D, begin with your guitar in standard E tuning. The only string that changes is your low E string (the thickest one). Grab your guitar tuner, and start tuning that string down one whole step to D. Once that string is tuned to D, you're all done!
+Brendan Blazas I used Microsoft Paint to make the tab and the Sony Vegas 11 to animate the tab and time it with the song properly. Thanks for watching!
There aren't any amp settings for this video. What you are hearing is the original MP3 of the song. Because this is a tutorial video, all I'm doing is simply miming along to the song and not actually playing it through an amp. My guitar wasn't even plugged in when I shot the video, haha.
0:31 Lead part is wrong 2:10 This part is incredibly wrong Also, the power chords in the chorus are played while holding the high fifth note. Can't believe there are so many comments praising this video when the tabs are incorrect LOL
Thanks for your comment! I’m actually prepared to halfway agree with you, haha. I feel pretty confident that the lead part at 0:31 is correct, but will agree with you about 2:10. I found that to be such a strange moment in the song while I was making this video. Although I was never really confident about the accuracy of that chord, I went with it because it was less awkward to play than the transposed version of it. Plus the fact that it was already on the D string led into the following chords quite nicely, I thought. But even to this day, I’m still not sure what to think about that little connecting part, haha!
@@adamontheguitar Oh, YC actually posted a video on how to play it here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Vwptj_5mS9s.html Your lead part is wrong because the E note you're picking is lower than the one actually played. As for the bridge, I can't understand how your tab says to play an octave chord on the low E & D strings when you can clearly hear notes being played on the treble strings.
