This is the song that got me into guitar I feel obligated to learn how to play it yet here I am a month later still not knowing how to play this song 😀
When you play music for a while it's like extremely easy for you to come up with songs and play songs and for wilbur he made the song so he has all the chords down so he explained it super quick but it works ive tried playing the chords and he explained very well
you dont need perfect pitch for that, if you already know that string is tuned to B all you're doing is tuning down a whole tone/step which is quite noticeable and easy to do by ear without perfect pitch or any classical training. Especially if you're good with hearing what the interval is from tuning to drop D and such.
@LukeDGuy I'm glad I'm not the only person that knows him from SootHouse. I honestly completely forgot about soot house until I started watching tommyInnit and Wilbur was with him. I knew I recognised his voice and when Tommy said Wilbur I instantly remembered who he was and found his channel. I have been binging all his videos and they are all so funny!!
for those who need help, the picking pattern is, E D G B G D, E D G B G D, then 2nd fret on A and go A D G B G D, then 3rd fret on A, D, G, B 4 th fret, B 5th fret, B 4th fret, G so basically, E3, D5, G4, D5, E3, D5, G4, D5 A2, D5, G4, D5 A3, D5, G4, G5, G4 then he says the chords, Also make sure your using the G bar chord and not something else like I first was.
@@mewingmanda See I feel like I'm insane because the b is tuned to an a and sounds good for the first part. Maybe I'm somehow doing the 5th and 4th fret wrong? Idk I'm relatively new to guitar so I'm probably doing something stupid
Samuteel hmm, I think I know how to help. the shape of the g chord in this song is suppose to be 355400. It sounds like you have your finger on the 4th or 5th fret of the b string. B is suppose to be an open note. Hopefully this helps because I was doing the wrong g shape, so it didn’t sound quite right.
For those who don’t understand (like me), and can’t understand the one done by FABulous Philly cause they’re dumb (again, me), here you go. ! If you don’t know how to read it the numbers are the frets so like it’s in the place of the strings (E|A|D|G|B|E) ! Start with 3|0|5|4|0|0 The picking E D G B G D x2 Change to 0|5|4|0|0 The picking A D G B G D Change to 0|3|5|5|0|0 Do the 1st half of the picking A D G Switch to (really quickly) 0|0|5|5|3|0 The other half of the picking B G D Tip: Make sure to tune your B sting down to and A. If you don’t know how, download a tuner on your device and tune the B string as if it was actually an A string. When I did this most of the tuning apps were unhelpful (basically too smart to let you tune its to the wrong string) so I did some testing and one of the ones that worked was called ‘Guitar tuner’ (on the App Store it’s called ‘Guitar Tuner Easy tune chords) it has like a purple/blue icon with like a red line in the middle (idk). Hope this helps. Probably won’t lmao.
GuitarTuna for Android is really good, it has a "too smart" mode but it lets you switch to manual mode. It also has a chord library so you can easily look up all the cords you desire. I recommend.
It’s crazy the amount of people in here who very obviously don’t play guitar but act like they do and think that Wilbur is speaking like some eldritch god
I will do whatever I can to have this be the first song I learn on the guitar....just skipping right to this Update: haven’t touched my guitar in a month
you should start with easier songs, starting with a hard one will just let you down and make you give up. start simple, and when you learn the basics come back to this song, but don't give up!
Hey my dude, I know how you feel. I had a handful of songs I practiced with the Ike and guitar that I wanted to play and sing to impress my crush, then covid hit and yeah, I’m on the same boat
I didn't want to click on this for the longest time because it was so short. Turns out he actually just casually explains it all in under two minutes. I was a fool to ever doubt him, I see that now.
Btw for anyone who dosent understand there’s a guitar tuning app that can help you put the b string to an a so click on the b string and then tune your guitar until it’s on -20 around there
i'm pretty sure it's finger 1 fret 3 string 2, finger 2 fret 4 string 5, finger 3 fret 5 string 3, finger 4 fret 5 sing 4. I think that's right and i hope you can understand stand it haha
aight so its pointer finger on first string, third fret middle finger on fourth string, fourth fret index finger on third string, fifth fret pinky finger on sixth string, fifth fret (Hope this helped)
with G bar chord (when picking ring finger on 4th string, pink free to do last bit) picking pattern: E D G B G D, E D G B G D, 2nd fret A D G B G D, 3rd fret A D 4th fret G 5th fret G 4th fret G D, Chords: G - 3rd fret B - 7th fret C - 8th fret A - 5th fret A7 - ^^^ but without the pinky G, B, C, G, B, C, A7, C, B, A, C, D Have fun :D
I went and got my guitar. I forgot my chip. I go get my chip, guitar fell from a high place. I pick up guitar. I lose chip. Chip is lost for eternity. Lmao this really happend.
I think I'm just slow but MAN I've been struggling to follow Wilbur's instructions for more than 10 mins oh my god 😭😭😭 I SRILL CANT FIGURE OUT WHERE HE PLACED HIS FINGERS ON THE STRINGS HELGPP
For anyone in the classic guitar it would be g, b, a, b, g and u reapeat that 3 times then you do g, b, c, b, g. Hope that helped no need to tuning anything down everything in the c1
if you have long fingers or hate yourself like i do instead of tuning the B string to an A you just stay in standard and reach your pinky to the 7th fret on the D string for that A note.. pain. agony. suffering.
idk if u know an e chord, well a regular g is the e with the fret infront of the shape u do barred. so the barred finger would go on the whole of the first fret usually. and then the regular e shape behind it. what hes playing is that chord, but instead of the front finger being barred. its just playing the too string (with the e shape behind it) and it starts from the third fret
