Today I’m gonna teach you a simplified guitar version of the song “Everybody Hurts” by REM. This fingering picking pattern is easier and more comfortable to play, which is great for beginners and it stills sounds great.

I’m gonna take you through it step by step, the chords, the pattern, the right fingering, finger placement, slow and in close up. The guitar lesson is divided up into 4 parts, all present in this video, to make sure the whole piece is easy to follow and understand.

Let’s dive in!


Practice with dedication, persistence, and patience and you will be able to play this beautiful classic.

Have fun!

    Hey Klaus,

    Fantastic job on the REM lesson. Your site continues to impress and improve me.

    Can you tell please me the model of the small body Taylor featured in the video? I have a mahogany GS Mini — which I love — but am intrigued by the more parlor-like instrument you are playing.

    Thanks again for all the effort, generosity, and love you so abundantly bring to your projects.

    – Clark

    Hi Clark,

    It’s the Baby Taylor BT2. (it’s also mahogany)
    The BT2 sounds nice and warm and is a little smaller than the GS mini, (The GS mini sounds better though), but it fits really nice when you’re playing in arm chairs and great to bring along on holidays. ;)

    Thanks for your feedback Clark.

    Best,
    Klaus Crow

    I love it. Can you provide a tab or chord I can print out? Then I won’t have to make my one notes to read from.

    Thanks

    I love watching your videos,trouble is you make guitar playing look so easy.
    I agree with Steve it would be great if you could provide a Tab.

    Hi Guys,
    I can’t provide tabs because of copyrights.
    I hope the video will do the job for you. Try to memorize it step by step.
    Memorization is part of mastering a fingerpicking piece.

    Best,

    I was wondering why you have to play the E chord on the second bar if you don’t even pick those strings? Thanks
