🚨 Ant’s Guitar Tutorials: No Nonsense Guide To Electric Guitar 🎸 ✅ linktr.ee/antsguitartutorials
Nice! Marty has some competition, I love how you actually explain everything.
That’s the thing that’s impressed me. I have ADHD and can only learn when someone explains whats actually going on in the chords.
Honestly such an amazing tutorial! I just started playing and omg this is exactly what I needed. I honestly love this song and to be able to play it now its fucking great
Welcome to the channel Mason! Really great to hear you enjoyed it and it's helping your playing, don't be concerned about about the crazy chord names if it didn't make any sense, just get comfy with the shapes haha! Anyway really glad to help you on your journey hope to see you on back in the comments on my latest vid! :)
Absolutely fabulous bed side manners and a real rockin gent! Right on brother and thank you for a comprehensive and precise lesson!
That was really thorough, as good as paying for a lesson, thank you.
Haha you are very welcome Lee! Really glad you enjoyed it, I try to be as detailed as I can with every lesson, I recently did one on 'Somebody Told Me' as well you might really like! Anyway hopefully you can take When You Were Young now gig it now haha!
YEEEEEEEEEEEES! YES! YES! YES! YES! I've just got back into the Killers and have been desperately looking for a decent tutorial on this song!!!!! Thank you so much!!!!!
Haha it's your day Ben! It's a really massive track, and such a fun one to play! You have to put it in your setlist for when we're all okay to be out again! Hope you enjoy it mate, and hope you and your family are well!
Dude, I’ve just found your channel, I’ve been learning guitar during lockdown and have to say, these are the best lesions I’ve come across on youtube. Well done mate, bagging 👍
I have been waiting so long for a good tutorial like this of this song!! fantastic work man!!
Hey Curt! Ah I'm so glad I could help you figure this one out, sometimes you just need someone to lay the whole thing out and that's what I try to do haha! It's a wicked sounding record, love the guitar work as well, hopefully you can go on and play it to an adoring crowd when the world has calmed down a bit, anyway thanks so much for commenting happy to have you onboard mate take care and i'll try to get as much good content to you as I can, cheers, Ant.
Amazing, just started playing about 3 months ago and I can follow most of this. Great job brohter!!!
This is the only tutorial for this song that i can keep up with. Great tutorial
Amazing lesson man thank you so much!
Yes Ant, your tutorials are helping me so much to get through lock down. I've got loads of time now for guitar playing. I've been going through those tutorials you did on Rocks, Live Forever, Rock 'n' Roll Star, Cigarettes and Alcohol, Waterfall and others and loving all the detail. Thanks so much for taking all that time and helping me get through these dark days.
Hi Steve it's great to hear from you, it's been a crazy few weeks hasn't it?! I hope you and your family are safe well. How is your guitar playing? Great to hear you've had time to go through some of those classics, looking back it's crazy how long ago some of them were. Cigarettes and alcohol has always been a personal highlight for me, can never get enough of that one haha. I thought doing this killers track might be a nice change of pace for us, it's a really fun one to play (even if it's a pain getting into Eb haha) I also thought it was fitting now that we all have more time to look back on the past few years etc. Anyway, no need to thank me I love making these and chatting to long standing community members like yourself about music and all sorts! See you on the next video Steve great to hear from you.
@@AnthonyFernsGuitarTutorials Hi Ant. Sorry for taking so long to reply. I must have missed the notification. All ok for me and my family considering thank you. I hope you and your family are ok too. It's going to be a very different summer though especially with no Reading for me and no Isle of Wight for you. Were you going this year? Still getting loads of guitar playing done. Working on your tutorial for Some Might Say now. I knew the song before but the detail you add is amazing. I wonder what you've got in store for us next.
You are right to say that it is fitting to look back now. Let's all believe that we have many more good times in the future to look forward to. Take care.
@@mr.stevejones1947 Great to hear from you Steve. Funnily enough I actually had tickets for both Reading and IOW festival this year so you may have seen me wandering around haha! I've wanted to get to Reading festival for a while now but I figure I'll keep my ticket till next year!
Ah great to hear you're going through Some Might Say, great anthem. I seem to remember it being a real pain to play along to because the actual recording of the song is a bit out of tune haha, feels like I've been on leaps and bounds since then, I'm gonna try and attempt Slide Away for my next lesson I think everyone will enjoy that (it's been a long time coming haha). I'm looking forward till when we're all back to normal, I'm desperate to get myself down the pub with my mates or play at one at least!
@@AnthonyFernsGuitarTutorials Yes Ant, I'm loving your tutorial on Some Might Say right now and have Riverboat and Place Your Hands in my sights. I learnt Noel's solo from Don't Look Back from you. There's a lot of guitar tab out there but so much of it is oh so wrong. I struggled with the timing on the last but one bar when your pinky goes up to the 17th fret. In the end I notated it into Guitar Pro and looped it which did the trick for me.
Can't wait for Slideaway. I know you've had that coming for a while. Did you manage to find a backing track in the end?
I'm gutted about Reading being cancelled but counting on seeing you there next year.
Anyway mate here's to Noel and Liam sorting out their shit and reforming Oasis to headline Knebworth in 2021. Guigsy and Bonehead will be back and Gem Archer and Andy Bell will have guest spots. Tony McCarroll, Alan White and Zack Starkey will take it in turns on the sticks. For an encore all members of Oasis, past and present, will perform an extended 60 minute version of Champagne Supernova with Paul Weller and John Squire cutting heads in an almost supernatural guitar duel while the whole crowd play air guitar. The set will be televised around the world and £50,000,000 will be raised for the NHS. Yes!!!
you made my day man big thanks
Hey have a great day mate take care!
I love the killers and have always loved this song! Thanks Ant
Hey Ruth! I was hoping to get you back on side with this one so I'm glad you like it haha!
Ha! It has worked :)
Great lesson. It must be nice to have a twin brother for the backing track. Not everyone is that fortunate.
Amazing tutorial! thanks!
Ah thanks so much!! I've got another Killers lesson coming soon hope to see you there mate!
Thanks Great job , and the keyboard chords ,, so important to make the song complete for a trio drums, bass and guitar performance well done and thankyou
Good job 🤙👍
Be be beeee deee dowwwwww 😂🤙🏻 love it man 👏🏻🖤
😂😂 Onto the top secret project next...
jam packed lesson my man...who is awesome?........YOOOOU......!!!
Amazing man, would love to see more songs by the killer. One of my favourite bands. hope alls well man.
btw having more theory in your videos aint a bad thing, actually really helps mate
Hi Ranaich! Thanks so much mate I really appreciate you taking the time to write this! Me and my family are all well I hope you and yours are well and staying safe! Happy playing mate see you on the next video!
Awesome video! Definitely one of the best guitar tutorialists on the internet, better than Marty Schwartz in my opinion. I love how you go into so much depth and cover all aspects of the songs which are often left out of normal tutorials. It would be great if you could do Fade Away and Listen Up by Oasis, or any of The Libertine's discography.
Hey welcome back mate! Don't let Marty hear you say that haha! But thanks so much all the same I really appreciate the support it's really nice knowing people are enjoying these lessons in such a crazy time, I thought the self reflection element of the song would resonate with everyone at the moment! Ah I love Fade Away and Listen Up they're both outstanding tracks, I would to both of those definitely, I need to do Slide Away at some stage as well! I've also wanted to teach Don't Look Back Into The Sun for a while now, god knows I've gigged it enough!
Yesss thanks man, you are a true hero! Needed a lesson on this one. Please please pleaseeeee work your magic and do slide away by oasis. We alll want it! Thanks again man, you are a life saver
Haha thanks so much for the comment, I'm really overdue Slide Away to be honest, I'm a big fan of it, I cant get a decent track for it but I could just go through it without?!
awesome tut.
Bravo!
Best walk through of this song anywhere. Nice job, bravo! Also, great tone in your setup.
Great lesson not many youtubers explain the whole song thank you
Hi Ryan! Thanks for the comment, I've seen a lot of half arsed lessons so I thought I'd wade in and see if I could help haha, It's all too easy for most to go through the main part and then glaze over the rest and rake in the views, that's not how I want to roll!
Great tutorial! Strange chords but definitely a great rocking tune!
Hey there! Yeah it's a really strange one haha! That open Gb string is a real headache but it makes the song work so well!
Hey man, brillant lesson! Could you also do “D’ You Know What I mean” by Oasis? It has a lot of guitar layers. Thanks and cheers!!
Nice one mate , you videos are class , hoping you do some more kasabian tutorials in the future , rewired would be great.
Hey David, great to hear from you, glad you liked it it's a fun one to have a look at isn't it?! Yeah I'd love to do some more Kasabian I'll put it on my list! Have a great day mate take care!
@@AnthonyFernsGuitarTutorials indeed it is mate brings back nostalgia, that's excellent to hear and thank you for the reply. Have a great day also.
Hey gang hope you're all rocking out to When You Were Young! If you loved the video and the detail I bring to my lessons head over to my Patreon and check out what I've got to offer! I could be working on the song lesson you want me to make! www.patreon.com/antsguitartutorials?fan_landing=true
What effects are you using?
Hi Ant, can you help me with Mr Brightside -Killers please please !! I learn't Rockstar thanks to your brilliant tutorial, the clearest on here mate. Thanks, Tony
Great video. Having small hands i do find those chords for the Intro tricky to do without inadvertently muting the open string.
Hi Steven! Thanks for the message, give it time mate I swear it gets easier! I found myself struggling with the pre chorus more than anything in this video haha!
Great tutorial👍 any chance in some arctic monkeys, for example brianstorm or when the sun goes down
Hi Ant, yet another class tutorial mate thank you. Are you deliberately choosing songs that are great in a cover bands set list? Because each one you've done lately is pretty much perfect for my band. I'll send this one to my bandmates and hopefully we can play it live sometime when we are all allowed out again! I'll do another paypal transfer as a thank you mate, I really get a lot from your lessons so it's only fair 👍
Hey great to see you back on here! Hope you're doing well mate, it's funny you say that because you're 100% right haha, I'm trying to aim a lot of my material towards gigging bands and musicians especially for people like yourself, I'd be over the moon if you went out and started playing this one! The only irritating thing is getting around the tuning, when I play live I either use a Digitech Drop (de-tuner) which just knocks everything down a half step or I bring an extra guitar haha. Anyway, I'd be really happy if people started gigging this one having avoided it for all this time!
Hey! Thanks for this amazing tutorial! Just one quick question, could you please share your pedal name and setup? Appreciate it man, cheers!
always loved this song, just watched the song exploder episode on netflix on it, surprised you made this video in 2020 and best one on RUclips. What pedals and effects did you add??
Haha that’s kind of you to say! 😂 thanks so much for the comment as well, I guess I’m the only one who’s taken the time to go through it methodically haha 🤷♂️ I think for this one I was using a DOD looking glass overdrive combined with an exotic super sweet boost pedal!
@@AnthonyFernsGuitarTutorials Hi Ant, one more question for you if you don’t mind! If I wanted to practice a scale with this song what would it be? With all the diminished-like chords I’m having trouble figuring it out 😅
What pickups doy u have on your Strat? They sound amazing!
What about the other The Killers songs like Read My Mind?
Thanks Ant :) Have you heard of Penny Eyes? They're a new band from down south with a couple of EP's out - I think you'll really dig them. Alan McGee is backing them too. I'd love a tutorial on Real This Time. Thanks! Hope you're well.
Hi Luke! I haven't actually? I'm going to look them up now, if Alan McGee is backing them then that's a pretty big statement! And yes hope you're all okay mate, take care in these crazy times!
@@AnthonyFernsGuitarTutorials I hope you enjoy them! I believe Katrina Russel who worked with Oasis for a while discovered them and introduced Alan to them.
Can you explain the second verse more? I don’t know where to put my fingers for the power choruses
Can you please do a tutorial for this is the one by stone roses
Pretty sure that first one is just Csus4. ;) and then it's based around C, F, G, Am (with other notes that modify slightly). You're complicating what the chords are, big time. For example, end of pre chorus is basically F, G, Am and C bar chords. Just picking certain notes.
hey ant, any tip on how to play songs by ear?
Ooo that's an interesting one, having an understanding of harmony helps me, understanding the harmonised major scale is a great place to start, identifying the key signature of a song really helps work out what the rhythm parts are. Other than that (for me) its just a case of guessing the right notes and intervals haha!
How do get this tone man? Clean amp and using pedals? or do you run the amp hot? Also do you use compression?
Hey! I believe for this tone I was using a DOD Looking Glass overdrive combined with a Xotic super sweet boost pedal, bit of reverb from the amp, I forget if I used compression on this one or not haha! Typically if you're using overdrive you don't really need much compression anyway! But the amp is a 2x12 Blackstar HT stage 60
@@AnthonyFernsGuitarTutorials thanks for the fast reply, I have the HT20... So I should come close
Did you use the OD channel?
I love the guiatar may I ask what type it is ?
Hey Isabelle sorry about the delay in reply haha! It's an Olympic White American Standard Fender Strat, Fender have had a rebrand so I'm not totally sure what the equivalent model would be now!
@@AnthonyFernsGuitarTutorials It’s known as the Player series, rather than the Standard 😀
seria bueno que pongas las tablaturas.
Was about to like this video but it has 420 likes and I can't ruin that
😂
Hello! Sorry, What pedals do you use in this song?
For this one I'm using a DOD Through The Looking Glass overdrive, it's a great low overdrive sound generally but when you crank it up it sounds great, on top of that I'm using a Xotic Super Sweet booster just to cut through the mix with those mids better! Other than some reverb from the amp that's it!
awesome man! 👍🏻😬 Good Job!
everyone on Ultimate Guitar seems to like the Drop D version but I find this version here to be better.
Does anyone know for sure what tuning The Killers do it in?
As far as I can tell they do it in Eb standard, that's what they do for their Royal Albert Hall performance anyway!
@@AnthonyFernsGuitarTutorials thank you. I think the Albert Hall performance is absolutely epic and the one to go with. Thanks again.
I am confuse about the tuning, please help
what's the tuning?
half step down
Er what's going on wheres "hi guys"?
What exactly are the strings tuning?
Hiya mate! We're in Eb standard tuning! everything down a half step!
Ant's Guitar Tutorials man thank you! It was the best tutorial I found!
Chris Evans teaches us how to play this song
What key are we in here?
E!
@@AnthonyFernsGuitarTutorials I’m so confused with that first note. The open g string doesn’t fit in with it at all And I haven’t got a clue what I’m doing wrong
@@spacefrogmogg Are you tuned down to Eb?
When I start with "8 on the A and 7 on the D" it's higher, I have to play 7 on the A and 6 on the D to match up with you. I'm in standard turning, the open G string isn’t matching with the notes I’m pressing. Are you sure this is in E tuning?
@@AnthonyFernsGuitarTutorials no defiantly not I’ve made sure it’s tuned about 3 times this morn, it’s in standard. Are you positive that it’s in E tuning?
Can you please please do GREEN DAY’s BOULEVARD OF BROKEN DREAMS !!!! Please
Carl brown from guitarlessons365 did a really good lesson on it if you are looking for a good lesson in the meantime
How am I the only one who has no idea how to tune to e flat low and even what it is?!
No problem! So E flat (Also seen written as ‘Eb’) tuning is essentially everything tuned down to sound like it’s one fret below, it’s common in rock songs, mostly to change the pitch of open chords to make them sound deeper. Soo all you need to do my friend is look up Eb guitar tuning and tune down to it! 😄
Capo first fret and tune
You know what, all this breaking down of the chord names isn't necessary. Just showing how to play the correct chord shapes is enough.
One of two people on YT who actually know how this Song is played!
