The Smiths, The La's, The Rolling Stones Lloyd Cole & now REM.... You going through my record collection Gary?? Love your taste in music & your tutorials. Fab!
Amazing @user-hj8ji8es8j yes I’ve got access to your collection so watch out 😮🤓🤣👍🎸 thanks so much you’ve made my day and thanks for supporting my channel
Amazing selection of really interesting guitarists, love this channel. REM are great for chords in a simialr way to the smiths, is it borrowed chords that these guys are so fond of. Marr has lots of G to A major type thing which is a 1 to flat 3 if i"m not mistaken, rem also do that sort of thing in Find the River which has a bIII as well. ANyway you know that i'm sure, but just my 2 cents. Thanks for the great lessons.
Really like how you do the chorus. I'm piecing together tips from different tutorials to try to get beyond beginner level on this song and this seems like the most straightforward and best way to play the chorus. I like how you're doing the a minor before walking up to c in the third verse too, that has been a little awkward up to this point. That sounds very good. The little post chorus riff I still like to play a different way, but I am not even close to getting that up to speed so I have no business telling anyone how to play it!! Great video!
Gary, new Subscriber this was an awesome tutorial and I'll tell you why, 1. Tone - I would like to know the amp and the settings you used but I know a lot of reverb. I know it's not all the guitar because i've owned that very guitar and did not get the tone I wanted even with a Vox Tub Amp 2. Options - You gave several different ways to play the licks and the chords. I've seen dozens of videos on how to play this song over the years, yours was refreshing. I've seen the variations you did here but never in the same video where I can hear the tonal variations side by side. I'm impressed. Thanks Gary --Pat Brown Round Rock Texas
Thanks so much Pat it makes it all worthwhile to receive a kind comment like this. I’ll be honest I can’t remember the exact tone settings but my amp is one of the early / first USA made Fender Hotrods on the gain channel but only a very small amount of gain maybe 3 or so on the dial. I usually keep bass, treble and all other amp tone settings around 5. I was using a Boss Compressor and an old Boss CH1 Super Chorus. Reverb was from the amp, I might have had a bit of delay too and if I did it would have been only minimal / low level volume and for that I would have been using my old Boss DD3. If you check out some of my other videos I show my pedals, I think on my U2 Bad pedal settings there is a still of them - I’ve had these pedals and amp for years but have recently bought a Boss GT1000 Core which I’m really enjoying and it does it all. I’ll be making some new videos soon and using that. Glad you found my channel 🙏🤓🎸

Thank you so much. Everyone else just shows their fingers but doesn't explain❤
Thank you for showing this. I took me many hours 15 years ago to learn this song from tabs. This lesson would have save me a lot of time.

Good vid!
Thanks Jordan 🙏🤓🎸
Driver 8 is one of their best songs - iconic as an example of the unique REM sound - my favorite as it is kinda silly, but poignant
Totally agree, always loved it. Thanks for getting in touch and supporting my channel 🙏🤓🎸
Your a handsome guy Gary , but boy that guitar is smashing 😀
🤣🎸🤓
Do you like the Stone roses Gary? I’m looking for a Mersey paradise tutorial.
Yes I do saw them many times and met them but that’s another story, yes I’ll see what I can do 👍🤓🎸
@@GuitarGary. oh wow do tell the story of that if u manage to make the vid
@jordantaylor4992 I will! 😉
