Topic: HELP! Need Video! (Hey Ya Cover)

I recently requested how to play this, and a kind, helpful member helped me play Hey Ya.
However, I would also like to learn this version:

Can ANYONE walk me through it PLEASE?*
(I am a beginner, but know a little about guitar)
Thanks so much to anyone that can help, thanks.


*Make a video, showing me how to play each chord/tab, how many strums etc etc...will give a CASH reward, thanks smile (this is URGENT tongue)

Re: HELP! Need Video! (Hey Ya Cover)

Got the message that this isn't clear enough, so a summary:

Please make a video tutorial showing how to play this song (but please make it simple since I'm sort of a beginner)
Thanks

Re: HELP! Need Video! (Hey Ya Cover)

Hi huoyuanjia - This is a really excellent cover version - I love when an artist can reinterpret a song so differently.  Here is a different version of Mat Weddle's cover of 'Hey Ya':

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJ8f5NXtgpk
This video shows his hands more clearly.  If you look under the chordie index for Outkast there are several versions of the song listed there.  One of them has the chords along with the lyrics - however, I think the chord placement could be improved . . .

It is a 4-chord song.  Get the changes between the basic chords down before you try to put in the pretty little transition embellishments that Mr. Weddle employs.

Re: HELP! Need Video! (Hey Ya Cover)

What is the big hurry in that you can't just learn to play the guitar?  Then you can play any song you like. 

Did you bet some friend that playing the guitar is easy?

Someday we'll win this thing...

Re: HELP! Need Video! (Hey Ya Cover)

I agree with jerome.oneil - But, since you are in a rush to get this particular song learned here is a little tutorial that I found with a little more digging on YouTube:

After you get through all the annoying junk, the guy finally gets around to showing the chords and strum pattern - hope this satisfies your need . . . James
