Chords for Privettricker's Final Video

_ _ _ [G] _ [E] _ _
_ _ Hey all _
just wanted to
_ Give a little explanation
_ Oh
This will be the last private tricker video.
I kind of thought I'd already done the last one, but this is the last one and _ _ _
Wanted to kind of explain why
[N] _ You know five years ago when I was when I just started the channel _
I really just wanted to
started it by
Wanting to show my brother how to play something
Because I was trying to explain it to him over the phone
And I figured well, it's easier if I just record video then you can watch it.
Yeah
so I did that one not thinking it was going to be anything and _
People watched it and said hey, can you do this one?
Can you do this one?
So I started doing it and I just kind of grew from there
But it wasn't you know the same kind of YouTube then that it is today _ _
Over time I think YouTube has become a
_ Kind of a global _
Talent competition where?
people viewers think that every video that gets posted is submitted for
their approval not you know, not everybody thinks is but a lot of people do and
And I'm not playing that game nothing I post is for anyone to
You know to like or dislike and I never
_ Intended the channel to even when it started growing.
I never thought it would be anything _
_ More than just a core group of a few dozen people who want to talk about
Guitars and how to play things and how do you learn things and all of that?
But it grew into something else that frankly I didn't like after all _ _
So
_ over over time
_ It got to be more than just I love to play and I wanted to teach people not not to
Play songs but teach them how to learn songs and how to learn by ear because I've I've learned everything by ear
I don't know anything about tabs or
Reading music I the chords I play.
I don't a lot of them.
I don't know the name of them
so if you know, there are a lot of people who think that's
_ Offensive to their guitar sensibilities or whatever and that's fine
[B] _ _
They can please themselves
But there are also a lot of us who don't care about all that theory
You know and training and all that and just want to sit around and play and maybe jam with friends or be in a bar band or whatever
_ So those are those are the people that I kind of
consider the
The audience for what I was trying to do _
but
When it came to the point where you know YouTube has essentially been taken over by trolls and everybody says oh, come on PT
It's it's just it's just a small minority
And it is a small minority
But what people don't realize is
you know, I kind of had to become the the lunchroom monitor of my channel and
_ Read all the the comments and everything, you know, it gets so infantile, you know
_ Just in the past couple of weeks even there's been there's been 50 great examples of why I don't want to do this anymore and
You know somebody writing
[N] Sent me a message saying oh, you know, whatever you do a lesson
You're you're always laughing and giggling all the time and you're so full of yourself and you laugh at your own jokes
And it's so annoying and I and a half an hour later somebody completely different
Sent me a comment saying how come when you do your lessons, you never you never laugh or anything
You're so dour and it's such a downer and you're never happy, you know
You can't win with that.
So I don't want to be _
the the comment police and
and do all that in fact it just
Blocking all comments and just posting videos is not what I want to do that.
That is this isn't purely
_ It isn't anymore.
Anyway
It wasn't purely a charitable endeavor to teach people how to play things
I actually like the back and forth and talking about things that are relevant to this
_ And not about
You know all kinds of other stuff that that isn't related to how to play things and how to learn things and all of that so
I'm not interested in just
Posting videos that don't allow comments.
I like the dialogue with a core group of people who kind of get it and and
are interested in the
the whole battle to see who's better than who and and
Oh
PT so-and-so this is way better than you and _
You're not playing this chord correctly
everything I've ever played is the way I want to play it and I
am the first to say a lot of what I play is not like
The it's not the same play the same way that the real guitar player played it
I'm whatever song it is and I don't care that
That's true
_ I am NOT
[C] _ [Bb] I'm not a snob when it comes [A] to that stuff, and I'm not [N] I'm not passing judgments on anybody else
But hey, man, there's a lot of snobs on YouTube so I ain't interested in that and so so the PT channel is done however
_ _ _ _ I'm starting a new channel and
If you want to subscribe to that I welcome you to do that
The the my username is James James just like it sounds two James's James James is the name and
That channel is going to be different
_ It's a [B] no negativity [F] zone
And if I don't care if you think oh that you you're such a pussy man.
You don't want negative comments
I don't want negative comments because it turns into
Ridiculous nonsense, and then I'm even responding to like
14 year olds I'm 46 dude.
I'm too old to be doing that nonsense
I just don't I don't care.
I don't have time for it in my life
Okay, so James James is different from PT James James all comments every comment is going to be approved by me
Before it goes up so you can the people who hate me and there are many of you
[B]
Go ahead and write those comments write whatever you want.
You know one one person six months ago
Wrote me a message
threatening my wife
Saying it's I could easily figure out where you live
You know I know [F] I can find out what where your wife works.
I can find out what time she leaves the house
[G] That's a felony to even you know write that
And [N] it's not funny.
I don't know why I'm laughing that's not funny
So when it gets to that point
I'm done with it so that there's not gonna be any of that nonsense if you want to talk about guitars and how to learn
How to play and bands and all that stuff fine
Those comments are fine.
There's not gonna be all this negative
nonsense
That that was happening on the other channel.
I'm just not interested.
I don't care if you hate me I
Rub a lot of people the wrong way, and I can live with that
_ So there's a new channel James James.
It's gonna be very much the same in terms of the content
I'm certainly I can promise you I'm not gonna be
_ Quite as prolific because to be honest
_ You know some of the a lot of the fun has gone out of this for me _ _
So we're gonna try that and
You might get sick of it, and I might get sick of it really quickly, and we'll just abandon it for now
I suppose I'll keep the
PT videos up there.
I don't know I really decided what to do _
With the old channel, but for now it's up there, but anybody who is interested can subscribe to the new one if they want and _
We'll see if we can have some fun over there, but I'm just gonna tell you now
_ Don't bother well No
I can say don't bother you can write all the negative comments and send all the negative messages to me that you want
But none of them are gonna get on the channel.
That's just the way it's gonna be it has to be and
you know it I do feel like the
The mean teacher who suddenly is cracking down on everything, but you know
YouTube was such a great thing when it started and
It quickly became this whole American Idol
_ competition where
Everybody has to be there's a there's a generation of people.
That's it's a couple of generations now
That that think now that we have these communication tools
And we have the ability to express every opinion that comes into our head that
We are also obligated to express all those opinions well
That's not gonna happen so good luck try the new channel if you like it, and I'll see you around
