You said: "Mixolydian chords make the light shine down on you and your relatives." Amazing. My son loves mixolydian chords and this song keeps coming to my mind. He recently passed away too soon. Thank you for this! Anyone reading this know you are loved and ask for love if you are hurting. You will surely get the help you need and deserve. Be good to your wonderfully sensitive musical self. You and your music are gifts to the world. So needed. Thank you all guitarist. I know my son is in a band with Jimmy Hendrix, Kurt Cobain and Micheal Dhalquist in heaven🐋💕🥰
Laura I am so very sorry to hear of your loss and extend you the greatest virtual hug imaginable. I know sons are 14 levels higher than cats on the grief spectrum, but I lost the favorite feline friend who will ever exist for me to a liver disease at 8 years old last week, which was too soon as well. Not to make this about me, just to say that I'm sitting on a far corner of the same bus with you. Much love friend.
Love REM, they were my band in my teenage years. I don't play guitar but I'm learning ukulele. I now have an electric ukulele and had to learn this one. Thank you for sharing, I've been able to translate it to the uke and I love it
William Tager is a murderer and currently free who beat up television reporter, Dan Rather, in 1986 in New York City, and asked Rather, " Kenneth, what is the frequency?" while he was beating up Rather. A doorman stopped Tager from hitting Rather and Tager escaped. Tager asked Rather, "Kenneth, what is the frequency" because he thought Television was beaming messages in his head, and he could stop these messages from being beamed in his head by knowing the frequency. In 1994, Tager tried to enter NBC studios where they film the "Today Show", but was stopped by Campbell Montgomery, a NBC technician, in which Tager then pulled out a gun and shot and killed Montgomery.
Good lesson mate.I think this is just a reconstruction of Wild Thing by The Troggs, with a few extra chords added to hide the obvious same strum,tempo,voicing etc.Excellent tutorial though!
it absolutely sounds like an alternate tuning... like one of the open major chord tunings, and like you're just moving the one finger barre shape all around. It sounds familiar, I think we can figure that out. Thanks Ryan!
This is my favorite REM song. Great lesson - thanks so much. It’s super fun to play I’m just trying to figure out how to dial it into my Marshall DSL 40CR. I’m terrible with that stuff. I’m using the classic Gain channel on red with the dial on 3 (about 10 o’clock) - is this in the zip code of what a reasonable gain should be for this song?
thanks Mike :) where the nob goes depends wholly on the amp, the pickups, the way you play, and your particular preference. I'm afraid I cannot comment from afar on that one.
Black Keys tunes are generally really fun to play. I haven't heard the new one... but I would like to do some black keys. Thanks for the first black keys request!
@@RyanLendt Sorry, I watched it a few more times.I think you were saying it's A mixolydian in the verses but D major in the intro and Chorus. I thought you initially said it was A mixolydian in the intro. The verses seems to start on and revolve around the A. It's kinda weird how the songs work like that. Do you reckon it's a subconscious thing that Buck would have just heard in his head from years of playing or would he actually think, oh, this in Dmaj, now it's A mixolydian, so wouldn't it sound rad if it back to D major? I seen R.E.M. use a lot of modal stuff in their songs, like Every Day Is Yours to Win is in Dorian I think. I've always wondered it it was intentional.
Ok that was a quick fix! I guess what my right hand needed was the up after the first two down strums. Funny how it all seems to fall into place with such a minor adjustment. Thanks man!
I must be honest, I don't remember much about this song off the top of my head. but F#m pentatonic is A's relative minor. This song might be in the key of A :)

fantastic instruction, a sage, a savant with no apparent encumbrance, and yet we understand perfectly and our hearts were cheered and warmed.
why thank you Robert :)
R.E.M and Sonic youth was my 1st concert. many moons ago.
For some reason the beginning of this has me singing Give a little bit by SuperTramp
what a first concert!
Love REM, they were my band in my teenage years. I don't play guitar but I'm learning ukulele. I now have an electric ukulele and had to learn this one. Thank you for sharing, I've been able to translate it to the uke and I love it
yeehaw!
Awsome song choice . That album was one of my favorite REM albums.
I'm glad you enjoyed that Clint :)
Love this! R.E.M. is my band. 👍
I love your band!
hehe. I see what you did there ;)
There was never a woman in R.E.M.
Kate Pierson was kind of honorary, though.
Great song selection as per usual Mr Lendt. Up there with the best guitar dudes/dudettes on RUclips.
thank you for that Sid :)
yay! I love rem so cool
:)
Nice and easy..thanks for posting this. Gonna set up my tremolo pedal and get to it!
have fun!
Ryan, I swear I just saw you on a 1994 SNL episode playing with REM behind MIke Mills. You age well!!
don't tell my mom
Hey this band is pretty cool 😳👍 I’m new to rem but really loved out of time and monster thanks for the lesson man
fun guys - keep meaning to do more...
This is such a sweet jam. Thanks for the vid man
pleasure

and now we know what the title means. Thank you MM&M... what a strange thing...

thanks Spidey!
Some Lv20 Charisma you got, sir. Nice lesson! Thx!
thanks friend :)
This lesson was very satisfying!!
glad you enjoyed that Amartini :)
If you feel like doing another Chris Cornell, Carry on- Your soul Today. Another rad lesson.
We will do all kinds of Chris Cornell - thanks for the request Chris :)
I know this is a year late, but thank you! You’re awesome!!
thanks Dan!
Request: “Missing” by Cliff Poncier (Chris Cornell) It sounds like an alternate tuning but I’ve seen people play it in standard.
it absolutely sounds like an alternate tuning... like one of the open major chord tunings, and like you're just moving the one finger barre shape all around. It sounds familiar, I think we can figure that out. Thanks Ryan!
Pearl jam cover of this is amazing
Like your mojo bro, thanks for the lesson. Subscribed!
welcome to the party Frank thanks for the shout!
Good lesson video, thanks for sharing
thanks PR :)
@@RyanLendt You are most welcome!!

Glad you liked that Quentin!
Violent green uh huh
Thanks Ryan!
you're very welcome Chris :)
Great lesson thanks man
thank you friend :)
Catchy frequency of strums, Ryan.
Cheers Kow :)
thx more REM, but would the band be playing these as power chords or open, like in the actually recording
i don't think so. and if i recall i dubbed the B minor whereas it should be major
Standard Tuning? There are all different kinds of tuning for this on the Web.
Can you do The full song lesson to The One I Love including the lead parts
good request!
Can you do Stand and It's The End Of The World As We Know It
thanks for the REM requests Aiden!
Thanks brother, subbed
Thanks Tom - welcome to the party!
@@RyanLendt yeeeeah bud thanks
I think you look a lot like J. D. (Zack Braff), the actor of Scrubs, the movie of MTV
my sister loves that show
@@RyanLendt great teacher greetings from Italy😁👌
Is R.E.M.'s original recording slightly sharp of standard A440 tuning? When I tune up and play along to the recording I sound out of tune.
Hey Ryan you would be more of legend if you do the new black keys tunes
Black Keys tunes are generally really fun to play. I haven't heard the new one... but I would like to do some black keys. Thanks for the first black keys request!

What do you mean by it starting in A Mixolydian? Isn't D A G in D major?
DAG is definitely D major - I wonder what I was referring to..

tks bro!!!
you're welcome J!!
I think the E is in the transition is a major not a minor - A D Bm E
I went to go check on that but I had too good of a time listening to the song and got distracted
Thanks Ryan! And thank you for the pizza Jessica. Yum.
Ok that was a quick fix! I guess what my right hand needed was the up after the first two down strums. Funny how it all seems to fall into place with such a minor adjustment. Thanks man!
haha success! That's great to hear Kevin :)
What.a.song.
that can be said about so so many REM songs
Btw why can you use the f#minor pentatonic in this song?
I must be honest, I don't remember much about this song off the top of my head. but F#m pentatonic is A's relative minor. This song might be in the key of A :)
@@RyanLendt makes sense!

get along little doggie
