  • Go back to Dave’s first FF’s album and listen carefully. It’s his best work on guitar easily.

  • You probably dont know who Ian Dior is but he would forsure make this a hit if he rapped of it, 100% his style

  • Your demo near the end was killer! It strongly reminded me of Porcupine Tree and Steven Wilson, one of my favorites. Nice video.

  • I prefer the non acoustic version of Everlong because of the drums and because it just hits harder, but as far as Times Like These, I definitely go acoustic version on that one by far.

  • You're a Dick – Grohl is a brilliant guitarist. Now I know why I dont watch your channel… (Based this off your title – Now I CBF watching the rest to see if it was serious)

  • Thanks for this great video! Literally the first on songwriting that resonated with me – at least today. All the techy stuff about recording gear out there totally does not.

  • That was/is one awesome masterpiece of music you came up with and played!!! Thank you, brother! I enjoyed that. You have my support. I'm also a recording artist/guitarist. If you'd like to, I'd be honored if you put an ear to my music, and maybe even let me know if there was/is anything about my music you enjoyed/enjoy? Take care, and God bless!

  • I think he always emphasizes his lack of knowledge so that people learning guitar understand that the technicality of guitar isn’t going to make you an amazing musician, but the way you play and use that knowledge what makes you great

  • 1:31 Never says he doesn't know how. He says he's not trained (music theory). Either way, your guitar is massive and obnoxious. And, I mean that as a compliment lol! Guitars rule brother!

  • Well debatable video title. Anyone can play guitar. Just striking the strings is playing it. Idk lol it’s a pet peeve I have with people I’m sorry haha

  • I have a lot of recordings on my phone of me sleepily humming the different instrument parts of songs i heard in my dreams. None get used because im not a good enough musician yet. If only we could record straight out of our dreams

  • This speach should be done in an interview not onstage with a captured audience. The audience is there to rock not hear him gush about his feelings. Sorry Dave,not sorry.

  • Yeah you definitely need to listen to more Sonic Youth no matter how much you currently listen to SY it's never enough.

  • Where TF is the rest of the song you're writing at the end?!? It tickles my synesthesia like early/mid Satch. I had "Flying in a Blue Dream" on repeat for like 6 months even after I learned to play most of the songs near perfection. That was a song to VIBE to, don't make me mix my own version, please.

  • Love that tune you've been working on Tyler, sounds really beautiful. Can't wait to hear the full and finished version, you are a very inspiring young man my friend, keep it up. ????❤️

  • I play guitar, could not tell you a single chord, i know the note sounds of single strings but jyst go with how it sounds… i wish id learned how to read when i coukd still b bothered learning????

  • You are definitely correct when it comes to a musician that is still insecure yet confident about their stuff just trying to let it out. I’ve definitely been there and I’m still there with a lot of music I’m writing. With all that said it is one of the best fucking songs on the planet and I agree with that wholeheartedly. He’s an incredible musician. I don’t know how to write music and know what it is. I just play, so I know what that’s like as well. I can’t read shit. I just play my guitar and that’s what it is. It all just fits. As for your song you’re working on. It sounds incredible. You’re definitely over. A amazing musician in your own right. Thank you for sharing.
