Great job, this is my first time catching one of your videos, and your teaching style is spot on.

What it sounds to me at the end of the chorus is, you position your fingers for the D chord, but add the sus4, then during the last 2 measures of the chorus, you play the Sus4, then lift the middle and pinky, then press down again the middle finger to make it a D major again. Sounds good to my ears.

“Don’t play it wrong just cause you didn’t learn it right the first time.” Great words of wisdom for guitar players or basically anything . Great lesson B.J.. Oh and that’s a cool looking and unique capo! 🙃

Super helpful! I needed to learn this for a cover band and there was no way I was tuning my guitar to the original!

Best lesson on this tune. Love your attention to detail and getting it right.

Thank you..sounds great in standard, saving me tuning time. Love it!

I’m going to learn this version for gigs! Love this!

Well explained, thanks mate.

Hands down best tutorial on this song. Detailed but not laborious. Perfect. Thanks so much. A lot of bad tutorials floating out there on this one. Happy to finally land on this. PS: is it just me who's brain goes numb when people do the up up down stuff or the count to try to teach strum patterns...I can only ever get strum by feel. Lol

Great job. Very informative!

Nice job! Very helpful, positive and well presented. No fluff to your lessons

this was great.

Thanks ❤, and thats true about learning it right thevfirstvtime through..the tab sure did help ..peace

love it

thanks - i didn't realize i was playing the intro wrong. i think the pre-chorus riff has the lowest note as an A (actual sounded pitch Bb) in the recording, though, instead of the D.

Great lesson!

Great video. Before I saw your video, I had to figure out that slide to an open D (using the C shape) myself instead of that dumb hammer-on part that everyone plays wrong. There are even people giving lessons on youtube teaching it with the hammer-on method that sounds so wrong.

Thank you (I'm learning this at 1 am lol)

Dude! Nice job. I can alternate tune and played it just like the record, but what a pain!

great tutorial ,I hope you make more

Nice video BJ Dig the time stamps too

Great vid!!!

Great video! I love the sound of the alternate tuning but unless all you are playing is Goo Goo Doll songs it's a pain to have to retune.

I WAS playing it WRONG. You just set me free to SLIDE.

Do you have a version of you playing and singing this?

Did you cover the Name by goo already ?

Thank you so much. I wanna learn this song for a special woman and your video will help me a lot 😊

Lol I don’t mean to dunk but you didn’t take your own advice about the finger off at 3:50

Finally someone plays it right.

dude you look like Kirk Cameron no offense..

The main riff sounds close but everything else just doesn't sound right in standard. The chorus for example, John does a whole walk-up thing that you just can't replicate in standard because you don't have the open strings at your disposal. Instead you just play boring regular D and Dsus chords there to compensate, it's just not the same though. Call me a stickler but you gotta play it in the original tuning or what's the point? Why play something 80% right when you can easily play it near 100% just by playing it in the right tuning? Don't be lazy.

Way to nitpick things normal people listening to the cover band don’t care about… that also don’t alter the song to most listeners.

Thank you. This is very helpful.
