Thom van Vliet no problem!

Thank you so much! Means a lot :)

Aurelism Awesome glad to hear it!

Thank you so much man, really appreciated!

Joshua thank you so much 👌🏻 I hope the channel takes off too aha, I haven’t posted anything in a while because lockdown has been getting me down however I’m getting back on it, covers and lessons are being made right now! Again really appreciate the kind words dude ❤️

@@dgguitars4091 Not a problem at all man, i just watched the "you can't quit me baby" cover and I really hope you do a lesson in the future on that, i have always found it a bit tricky for some reason... i am apart of a QOTSA group on facebook, can I share the channel on it? People will love your work!

Joshua planning on that one for sure, got some other videos I need to put out first but I will get round to it :) yes please do share it! Would really appreciate that man, thank you!

@@dgguitars4091 awesome, sound great man! Ill post it now, do you have a Facebook page I can tag?

Joshua cheers man, I don’t have a Facebook, I only use insta but that’s my personal one as well lol - @interloodewithgoodes

Ayy it’s me haha, sick you know about us :) very small world, cheers for watching!!

deadlegs187 awesome to hear man!

synth Huge fan! Best gigs I’ve been to are QOTSA at Finsbury Park and NIN at Mad Cool Festival. I’ve got a tattoo of the backwards N, with the Jack White 3 built into it, song for the deaf trident going through it and Dave Grohl feathers at the side of it. It’s on my wrist you can sometimes see it :) and yes that’s a hard one, I’ve been working on it, it will take some time but that cover is definitely coming. I want to do both guitars and bass so will be a lot of work figuring it all out

Harland Clark No problem at all! Glad you enjoyed my cover, please let me know how you get on with the tutorial, would love to know! :)

@@dgguitars4091 It helped a lot working out some of the longer fills in the verse. Haven't started the solo yet but I will for sure. I'm not sure if you made a mistake for the fill after the pickup change because you say 14 on the g string but it looks like you're playing 13, I might be wrong though. Thanks a lot I've been trying to learn this song for ages and could never work all of it out. Great job! 🤟

Harland Clark Awesome glad it’s helped you out. Do you mind time coding the part you think there was a mistake? This is my second ever lesson so there may be mistakes which I’ll get better with sorting out as I go on making more. In the solo I explain I’ve made a mistake in my other comment here btw, apologies for a few fuck ups!

@@dgguitars4091 I think it's at about 8:57.

Harland Clark Harland Clark yep good spot, I missed that mistake, apologises! It’s the 13th fret on the G string. Let me know if there are any others other than around 21:00 as I know I messed up there

Ryan Maynard Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it and found it useful. More content like this is coming for sure.

Thank you! Hi from the U.K x

Cheers man! Really appreciate it, thanks for watching and subbing! 🤘🏻

No problem! It’s on the B and G strings, let me know if you need anymore help, hope the rest of it has been useful! 🤘🏻 Cheers for watching and subscribing if you did! :)

@@dgguitars4091 You're a gent! Couldnt fault any other part so far. I did, least I could do. Thanks again :)

No problem :) more content coming soon!

SixteenJacobsCreams Glad you enjoyed! Cheers for watching and subscribing if you did that too :)

Samaritans all good my man, awesome please let me know how you get on! Yes, that’s on my list for sure. Usually I do the cover first then the lesson but I will add that to the list :) thanks for watching and subscribing if you did so, I appreciate all the support :)

Thank you! Have you got the free trial of Ableton or have you got the full version? These pedal settings are only available in the full version

DG Guitars I have the paid for Ableton Live 10 standard. Do I need to go for the Suite version do you think?

Chris Cockburn hmm I’m not entirely sure, I wouldn’t want to make you spend money you don’t need to. Is there anywhere on the site that says what it comes with?

I answered my own question, you need suite for hot fuzz. Thanks for your help, look forward to more content from you

C Standard, I explain it's in C standard but I'll most likely refer to the strings as normal tuning, to make it easier to explain

C standard!

C Standard tuning my friend

C standard man

Nick Taylor Thank you! Yeah full cover of I’m Designer is coming tomorrow :)

And now both of these are complete :))

whoareyouj C standard tuning

DG Guitars thank you. I paused the video Bc I heard you say “c” when you were talking about the the low “e” string, to see if the tuning was in the description and it wasn’t. So when I continued to watch I heard you say it. 🙂 thanks for replying though. Great video by the way!!🙌

whoareyouj I’ll make sure the tuning is in the description on other lessons from now on then! Sorry it wasn’t clear, glad you still enjoyed the video! Got plenty more lessons and covers coming :)

C standard man!

racoon nut C Standard

DG Guitars oh thank you

racoon nut No problem, hope the rest of the lesson is useful to you!

DG Guitars it is thanks again

It’s not, I set it up as well as I could for C standard tuning. Just heavy gauge strings and some help from a friend over video call who knows about setting up guitars

@@dgguitars4091 Good tone even with single coils. What amp, pedals do you use?

@@joaomanuel2 cheers, my tone around this time was just all created inside Ableton. Got real pedals now but haven’t used them a lot in my past videos. I explain the tone at the end of this video actually

​@@dgguitars4091wich gauge of strings?11-52 are enough?thanks

I wouldn’t call this song simple, there’s a lot of parts to it so I understand it can get confusing! Hope you found some help in it, cheers!

@@dgguitars4091 In trying for universal appeal or to people that know almost nothing about guitar, a lesson becomes three times as long with jumbled explanations that can confuse someone like me with lots of experience. I don’t have a problem playing this song it’s understanding your explanation and that’s my theory of what’s behind your explanation.

@@smkxodnwbwkdns8369 👍🏻

These tutorials are for people who want play the song note for note, not just a general over view, thanks for watching

@@dgguitars4091 You are misunderstanding me. Music theory is like math. For example, lets say you make $15 a hour eight hours a day five days a week. You can find the same answer using both methods: 1) 15+15+15+15+15…. etc. 2) or, 5 (15 x 8) . Both will give the same answer as to how much money you made in a week, one is just much more efficient. Your videos is the equivalent of adding 15 over and over instead of using multiplication. I didn’t watch the whole video, but I could easily chop it in half at least by making one simple adjustment. First, teach the main patterns all in a row (octave riff, the high fret chromatic chord riff, etc.) , then teach the riffs by presenting a scale that includes all the notes he uses. Perhaps play all the variations in a row but once someone knows the scale you don’t have to teach every lick note for note. In fact, one can begin to improvise different notes than the record, as Josh improvised the notes as well. See what I mean?

@@jamiehovis7722 simply don’t watch the video then! hope this helps.

@@jamiehovis7722 I haven’t misunderstood you, I understand your point of using music theory to explain the basics, however just teaching about improvising would defeat the point of the video as it is note for note, I’m very detailed in when to use vibrato and certain techniques in certain parts exactly like the recorded song, this is for people who want to play the song accurately, not for improv. If you watch the full tutorial, I’m assuming you didn’t get very far, I do teach certain patterns once and then explain when to repeat it, such as the chorus or the main riff. The little solo parts are mostly all unique and so there is a lot to explain, especially to people who don’t know music theory inside and out. Cheers!

@@dgguitars4091 its all very non rock and roll is all. part of the spirit of rock and roll is spontaneity, not laboring over something note for note. maybe if its your first few songs, but I would also teach with the assumption people know theory fundamentals. If they don’t, they almost certainly aren’t at the level of playing songs like these accurately anyway. Queens is based on blues, and part of the spirit of blues is improvisation which carries onto its brother genre rock and roll. If you’re performing this song for people and play it note for note, you’re missing the point. Being on the peripheral of creation is part of the excitement that is essential to this kind of frankly otherwise simple music. it doesnt matter if you use vibrato on the first or forth note. It’s about learning the patterns and ideas behind the song and making it interesting for yourself else the song will fall flat on listeners.
