as much as I want to rip on this dude, he knows how to teach.

I dun like his music, but he explains this very well... and knows his chords.

I agree... He can definitely teach.. but the song itself is a little unoriginal.

Yeah, there are something like five parts, but some of them are in standard, and the rest are Drop C. It would've been nice for him to clarify that.

Seems to me like for this guy being such a D-bag as the rest of you put it, he didn't mind takin time out of his day to show people how to play one of his bands songs. Too bad more musicians aren't like that, great lesson.

I like Nickelback, and they're like 395637465 times better than these Saving Abel guys. Their album is terrible.
