Fun fact: on ultimate guitar, there are currently 47 versions of Take Me Home Country Roads.

Me: *searches for Freebird guitar solo on ultimate-guitar* UG: *Tuning: CGCFAD capo 6th fret*

This is exactly how using Ultimate Guitar feels like.

I swear half of them write random bullshit. I saw somebody put a “q” as a chord.

Kinda wild that Ultimate Guitar went from my go-to chord source to doing everything in my power to avoid using it

The fact that they say "the key of A" and then immediately launch into chords in the major key of D cracks me up.

From all the guitar players - Thank you for expressing this niche pain.

As someone who’s practicing guitar, I felt this

Why don’t we use these chords for amazing grace as well!!

This video really struck a chord with me 💀💀💀

And then comments say “10/10 most accurate tab Ive seen!!!” and you wonder if you just weren’t born to understand things

Thank you for making Ultimate-Guitar related humor. It's a treasure trove for at least 3 more jokes.

“Hey you know how the song is in the key of B major? I don’t feel like writing the accidentals next to the clef because I like how it looks when I have to write in the sharp symbol for almost every note.” is how I would imagine every person who makes stuff on musescore thinks.

You forgot the part where every transcriber unanimously decides that they should all classify it as “TABS,” so when you search all you can find is 97 chord versions of Through the Fire and Flames.

You and your brother never cease to be hilarious.

Don't forget the correct chords that for some reason has only 3 4 and a half star reviews whilst this one has 257 5 star reviews.

To be clear: any minor chord can be replaced by pretty much any chord. That's something I did not know, thank you!

i love playing the piano

How kind of Gus to spread the word of unknown songs like "Country roads" with his artistic talent

It hits different when it happens to your own songs

My own two cents on this - I once spent over an hour making one of these on UG, mostly cause it was an obscure song and I wanted a reference for myself - I submitted it to the site, and found that during the approval process, a site moderator had completely changed a bunch of chords and their timing in the song, so it now sounded like total crap. Fantastic.

For those wondering: Country Roads Verse: C, Am, G, then F for half a measure, C for a full measure. Then C, Am, G, then it's F for a half measure, C for a half measure. Chorus: C, G, Am, F, C, G, F, C. Bridge: Am, G, C, F, C, G, Am, A#, F, C, G, G7

Take me home country road

this is perfect niche

This is one of the most relatable videos you've done every time I boot up that website and try to play I feel like I'm going crazy

everytime your videos end im like nyoooo. im always wanting more

Love you bro ur always killing it ❤️

I love your videos please keep it up!

i felt this in my bones, someone did a half assed tab of a new Built to Spill song, I had to get aggressive with the moderators to give me my own version (which included 3-4 parts the original tab missed + corrections to the original) Basically a few things going on: 1. If your version has overlap with an existing version, a moderator might just merge yours with the existing. 2. As a collaborator instead of author, you get less points overall, even if you added more to the song than the original author. 3. As a result, there's less incentive to fix existing, and more to create new versions, but that new version also needs to be different enough that some moderator doesn't merge it with the original. It's a messy system, but it's what happens when it's set up more like Wikipedia and the points get you abilities to review new tabs for songs you might've never even heard before, and people will push them through anyway. It also means people who write the first tab for a new song, no matter how weak, have the best chances of their version being the primary that gets updated too.

Good job on another banger video

I love all of your videos❤❤

I have become the greatest musician to ever walk this plane of existence thanks to your tutorials. I'm off now to win the hearts of trillions across the universe.

This is pretty accurate. I love when they the strum pattern is completely off too.

I don’t actually play guitar but I love it when Gus introduces me to niche problems that I didn’t realize existed

oh my god this is painfully accurate

This, hits SO deeply home for someone who uses UG tabs all the time. Gus, every time I think you've cornered the "super specific humor video" category- you nail it even harder. God damn.

this is gold

Now I feel better, with this insight :-)

After all these years… they’re still comedy geniuses

This is so frustrating how accurate and funny it is like I just wanna learn a song then it’s just pure chaos

highly specific and very relatable

As a person who regularly writes chords and tabs, I can confirm this is exactly how my saturday afternoon looks

This is scarily accurate…I love this

I’m so happy you made a bit about this. Most lead sheets and chord charts online are complete garbage.

This is by far the most true thing I have ever seen from your channel. fuck ultimate guitar honestly

Even harder when it’s the banjo that you’re trying to learn

thanks gus

Good one Gus!

finally a video that encapsulates the feeling of trying to find the RIGHT GOD DAMN TAB

This is the kind of niche content I'm here for.

As a guitarist of 8 years now, this is exactly what ultimate guitar is like

Ultimate Guitar is reflective of the internet in general: once useful, but slowly getting filled with garbage that nobody is cleaning out.

This is such a specific struggle I never thought there would be a UKposts skit on it though

You're a hero for this

This is honestly 100% accurate, I would do better just listening to the songs and figuring out the chords. Maybe I should pull out my laptop and teach people some “take me home country roads”

"I think there's another chord but we'll just skip that one" Ommmfg so true lmfao

Gus' videos are getting increasingly more niche, yet I somehow fit the target audience of every single one

This is extremely accurate

LMAO gus this is a banger

😂 I didn't know I needed this video

Started learning songs as a beginner on ultimate guitar and had to relearn all the songs i learnt the right way later in life

Holy shit thank you for this

Crazy i was just thinking someone needs to make a vid on this not last Tuesday

I admittedly do vibe with the implicit rage this video presents. Well done Gus! Time to learn me some Take Me Home, Country Roads.

I've experiencing this so much

This couldn’t be better

This is the most specific relatable sh**. It's like making a dumb dream about that youtuber Gus johnson who would make a video on how bad chords progressions sometimes are on ultimate guitar

thank you for teaching me guitar gus

I can't believe you guys managed to film in the louvre for this!

You're my favorite musician, Gus! Those G sharps when hard!

I know this has over 200k views but i think this is still underrated

great now this song is stuck in my head

Doing the Lord's work

As someone who uses ultimate guitar. This is very true anyway want to know the chords to sweet home alabama? So it starts with an Fm

this video soothes my rage

i finally feel heard

I should stop paying for my Ultimate Guitar subscription

I love Gus

Holy heck if ultimate guitar sees this they are gonna make you take it down for sure!

ultimate guitar has been the exact same website for nearly 20 years and i love it

So incredibly accurate

This is very specific

These documentaries are getting better and better.

man i love gussy

ty for this 😂

One time i put up an accurate tab on ultimate guitar that i painstakingly did entirely by ear to isolated tracks, and they took it down almost immediately because of tab book copyright.

"Mr. How they use shotguns in movies" is at it again with another video!!!

never change ultimate guitar...

Genius

Ultimate Guitar: "and I took that personally"

I love how I can never predict what your content will be 🥵

OMFG this is so frickin accurate 😂

This hurts so much

Got a simply guitar ad before this

I want to hear the outcome when it's all out together.

as a guitarist who does many acoustic covers myself, this is completely accurate.

OH GOD THANKB YOU

This is so accurate it's scary

This is why I pay for the official tab on ultimate guitar lmao

I think Gus and Sven's relationship is like peak brotherhood, all brothers should strive to have this relationship
