I’m not sure if this is what OP was referring to or not, but Dave has spoke about this several times over the years. He absolutely considers himself a drummer and very much looks at the guitar as a drum set. I know this is newer than these comments, but I would suggest searching KZread for “foo fighters everlong (acoustic - march 20 2021)“ for anyone interested. Dave talks about this very topic and even about how he created Everlong.

I have been working on this one for months I think. Definitely weeks. Probably months. When I think I’m starting to get the hang of what I’ve learned already, I come back for more. It’s like a delicious meal in the fridge that I never get sick of the leftovers. Only they don’t feel like leftovers. Just things I couldn’t grasp when I had so many other things I was grasping. Awesome Ryan. Your vids are amazing. I’m getting’ better at this one. Little by little...

haha I think it's been at least 4 months! every song has a lot to teach us... BTW figured out building a mystery yesterday. the tuning is, get this, EADABD (??!)

You commented recently that someone said you had a “show”. It was something that came up around the time you met Mike M. That was a dang interesting story dude. But I’m getting off topic. You do have a show! It’s not just lessons. It’s not “just do this to play this...”. I’m happy that I’m a part of this community. Your “lessons”, which technically they are, are also super entertaining. You almost make music theory fun. And that is practicality impossible to do. But you do it some how. I’ve been working hard on this song. I’m finally starting to be able to do the whole thing - the vocals and the guitar. It’s awesome. Thank you for all you do.

haha woo hoo!! Congrats Mark! it was Stone who said I have a show :)

Did this lesson intently for another or two tonight. Maybe I’m up to 10 or 15 hours or so. .I am enjoying this immensely. I keep getting a little better at it, bit by bit. The strumming pattern, the timing, playing it slow, playing it at speed... it’s an amazing lesson dude. This song is right at the limits of what I am capable of right now if I take into account basic skills, strumming/striking precisely skills, fretting perfect skills, counting skills, knowing the lyrics and music by heart skills... and then keeping it relaxed and meaningful, as opposed to stressful and forced. I could never have come close to playing this where it didn’t sound like shit without you. But with this lesson, and enough hard work on my part, I will be “campfire ready”. I quote you often whenever it comes up about my skills. I am indeed “campfire ready”. I would have done anything to get to hang out with you and play music together when I was young. Back then there was no internet. So new songs were ginormously harder to come by. Had to have a friend who was better than you back then. Otherwise, you we’re screwed unless you were naturally talented. You’ve changed the world bud. At least you’ve changed mine.

This is my favorite lesson so far dude. Except for when you showed me how to play Yellow. Base base cord. Base cord cord. Base cord. I NEED that level of explanation. 😊. Your teaching style resonates with me big time. I am grateful for you. I struggle with rhythm. I am super happy that you give me the timing and tell me all the music theory stuff. Because I’m “hungry” for it. It used to be that I couldn’t hear the notes right to figure out a cover. Now, because of you, I am working on rhythm. I am grateful for you dude. And singing at the same time is so super hard. I can sing ok if it’s the only thing I’m focused on. But singing right and playing right simultaneously?! Super hard. You have improved my skills immensely. I hope you are making enough at this channel to keep it going indefinitely. You’ve changed my life. How about that. That is how strongly I feel about what you’ve done for me. I suppose you can’t imagine. But you have.

First of all i realy enjoy your lessons man. There a lot of fun to watch and it's so great to have these short video's where you explain everything once and do it right with a lot of room for me to make my own verson of the songs. Keep up the good work. There is another way to play the d chord in the chorus wich i realy like the sound of and fals nicely under your fingers. in tab it's 0-5-4-7-X-X. You can leave your pinky down on the 7th fret, use middle and index finger for the 5 and 4 and then mute the rest with your index finger. This way you can also do the slide back to 11 on the end with your pinky wich is wat Dave is also doing on his solo live performances of this song.

I am so in love with this song but im having so much difficulty and its killing me, im a beginner and ive been practicing this for a little more than a week, just trying to get the intro down, i finally got callouses on my fingers again and got comfortable ish with my hand and finger positioning on the fretboard, i tuned to drop d, and i used the karate chop method to get used to muting chords 1 2 and 3, but every time I play Bass Bass Chord Bass Chord Chord Bass Chord, my Bass D sounds alright, but i can never get my chord to sound anything close to what the song sounds like or you get it to sound like, my bass just keeps on drowning out A and D and sounds only a little different than playing bass string by itself, i even got better at holding the chords so the strings dont buzz, one problem ive found that others have mentioned about my guitar is that my strings are really high off my fretboard, but this is a beginner guitar that i got just like this and have accomodated myself to playing, is it possible its because my bass string is closer up to the pick than the other two strings are as theyre being pushed to the board? Ive tried really hard to angle my hand so it hits all of them the same for the most part, or to play hard enough that after the pick gets over the bass, it can hit the other two. Itd make sense that that would be my problem but id really appreciate it if you could give me some tips, im in love with listening and making music and ive always dreamed of expressing myself through guitar, love electric guitars and rock but love acoustic and blues/rock/other genres through acoustic as well so i wanted to start off with that. Sorry for the terribly long message but thank you for your videos man they have given me the courage to finally start this passion of mine.
