HOW TO PLAY: Re: Stacks (Bon Iver) - Part 1 of 2 

"who knows what he was doing in that cabin in the woods" ;)

You can't imagine how greatful I am for the existance of this video. Now I can play my favorite song in the world

@stottieC to play it on the album you need to add: 1: one small cabin with in-built recording studion, 2: assorted analogue recording equipment (slightly dusty) and 3: a really old, but high quality acoustic guitar. Then you have it! ; )

As a music teacher, that was fantastic teaching.

As a musically illiterate ear player for whom chords have no meaning, I greatly appreciate the "where to put your fingers" instruction. Thank you!

It's great to see someone who's worked out the tuning. Once you've done that the rest follows. And I like the way you focus on the rhythmic structure, and encourage people to master the simplicity of that and play around with the rest. Good job!

You have a very calming apperance mate!

really easy song to play but im guessing hard as hell to compose and to live through the experiences to sing it right!! major service you've done to us all, sir, really

This is easily the best tutorial I've come across. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this.

This is my favorite video on the internet

Thanks for doing this. I don't think you talk too much. I've now spent hours with you learning songs and you're a great teacher. Keep doing these as long as you can stand it because I'm learning a lot.

Thanks for that, really helped. Justin plays it on the 7th fret and the album.

thanks a lot! you're a great teacher! Very clear, especially when describing which fingers to use! Much obliged!

Thanks for the really clear instruction. Talented teacher. Cheers!

and one pair of really tight pants for the high notes! haha very funny.

Hey man, just wanted to say thankyou so much for this. Just picked up the guitar I'm a pianist and I specifically wanted to learn this. The second I got a capo I came to you. You did a great job, you look unsure but you's be on spot my dude :D Thanks.

great lesson man. been looking for this for ages. i was wondering why i didnt sound right in open A tuning!

hey berondi just wanted to say big thanks for taking the time to make this tutorial.keep up the good work.

Chords that berondi is using: Absus2, Abm, Dbsus2 (1st inversion without string 6)

Thanks man, this helped SO much. Sounds just like the real version

i m in love with this song's melody thank you so much .. from Ashford KENT xxx

Thanks for the tutorial! Although I could not make the guitar sound like your does, it was tremendous help to start :)

Thanks for helping me learning my favourite song!!

Thanks for a superb breakdown of the song!

dude this is brilliant! cheers

Nice work on a superb song.

Thanks so much brother, keep up the excellent work. Your version of this track and your skill set really helped me out. Thanks again.

You play this really well. Great song.

thank you so much........ great vid, and good balance of explanation and playing!!!!! cheers buddy

Wonderful lesson brother. thank you.

please do more bon iver from that same album xxx

Wonderfully done!!

Very well done sir. Cheers!

can someone explain how the fingers are contacting the strings during the strum

I think there's another chord too (which I saw on a video few mins back and I also think I heard it on the song last night when I was listening), that you didn't mention, i think. The one with the index finger on the third string (the third thickest string or the G string on a normal tuned guitar) on the first frat. and the middle finger on the second frat on the fourth string (so the D string on a normal tuned guitar). Not sure if the other chords are precisley correct, and I think you dont care as u got it very simillar, perhaps almost exactly like him? and is that really that important? But good job :) sorry didnt mean to be rude.. thanks

Thanks for your lesson. There’s the tab of this anywhere?

Thank you thank you thank you Tremendous help!

thanks so much for this tutorial. really feel so happy playing this ))

@TheYoungastronaut Hey I'm really glad that you got something out of this video! I'd like to do some more tutorials - not sure which song to teach though?! You got anything you wanna learn?

this helped me soooo much thank you

@stottieC oh, well justin is pretty good at subtle multi-tracking. he's a pretty open guy so you could ask him directly on twitter at @blobtower. But I'm not trying to imitate the album version, I'm just providing a cover that is fun to play without the backing tracks.

thanks alot man, this helped me out so much!!

thanks man! you're awesome!

1 x tight underpants ..haha.. thanks for posting this, i'll definately be giving it a go.. problem with me playing bon iver is I have zero falsetto and a fairly low voice.. anyways, great job , thanks again cheers joe

love your accent :)

A couple of mistakes dude, nice seeing someone playing it in the right tuning and capo placement but after chord 3 ( x20100) he plays x02100, and then 220100 hammering on the top string if you get what I mean instead of playing 200300. Nice tutorial tho man :)

Hello, great content but can you make new tutorial video?

hey! this is one of my favorite songs right now and i gotta say, you're f#$%&n awesome!! lol thanks for sharing!! it's been a huge help =)

I kind of love this dood. It's been over 10 years since the post. How are you, dood? How did life turn out? Did you end up having kids at all? Maybe you're teaching them some songs? Maybe you went a different route? Anyway I hope you're well, my dood.

does anyone know where i could get something like this written down?

@hisnameismoses Justin Vernon will tell you that one of his major influences is John Prine, who is a country/folk singer. Do your homework! By the way Bon Iver are musicians who make music. Bon Iver is not music in itself!

what's the strumming pattern?

Hey Berondi, did I meet you in Tasmania one time around 2015?

can someone help me with the strumming pattern here?

oh man this is gonna get me so much vaj!

@incubus312 'too' not 'to'.

Dude plays open D with a capo, no doubt.

Pointy finger :)

need a tuner

I dont gwt the pinky

@mikaelhs Try to look at the lyrics.. Then your heart shouldn't explode.. xD

@hisnameismoses Well ignorance is bliss I suppose! ; )

no chord names or sheets just vibes

English Justin is that you ?

You look a lot like Justin himself.

this is soo fucking good

talk less and play more
