You can tip Alan using Paypal @yestheraven or you can hit the 'Thanks' button under the video.

Here’s the tutorial. Hopefully it’s helpful!

Lyrics:

You hit the ground like an angel
Still undecided, which team you’re on
You mix the truth with some water
To hide your weakness
Proud in the dirt

And you’ll come kicking, screaming, dragged by the ears
This will only end in tears

Send out your love with conditions
And it will return
Injured and bruised
That castle’s guarded by dragons
Real and imagined
They’re breathing fear

And you might think you like the sound of the cheers
But this will only end in tears

You spray the garden with knowledge
So antiseptic, well it kills the fruit
You get so tired of reading
Pining for Eden
To be immersed

And you’ll come soakin’, brokin’, in from the rain
This will only end in pain

And you’ll chase sorrows echo down through the years
This will only end in tears

[JCDenton]

This will only end in tears, coincidentally, is also how I will feel if I try to play along with that masterpiece of a song.

[Noneshallpass-sq]

Thank you so much for this! I have been obsessed with this song since Rick's video dropped.

[alexandereisen]

Whenever I listen to this song it reminds me of a relationship I got into knowing that it would only end in tears…. And then it ended in tears

[cliveburgess]

Glad to hear your kids are interested, that's great, i have 5, none of them have any interest in music, sad!

[Birkguitars]

There are many things wrong with the Internet but the best part is that it offers us the breadcrumb trail that leads from one wonderful musician too another. Rick Beato led me here as he did many others and I am so thankful he did. The music is beautiful and it is amazing that you present it with such modesty.

This song woke up my dormant feeling for music once again. After the years, at some point, playing guitar became just like lifting weights, just improving skills. I kinda forgot why I loved music so much in the first place... That was until I heard your music. So, I just wanted to take a minute to say: Thank you. 🙂

[conscious]

Wow! I've been playing guitar for 40 years and just learned more about inversions and voice leading in the last 30 minutes watching your video. Thanks!

[windyworm]

Just wanted to thank you for "this will only end in tears", it's a superb tune.
I've written loads of songs, but nothing that has the simple sophistication of this tune.
Something to be proud of..

[cliveburgess]

I think the use of open strings on guitar is my favorite thing about it, adds so much colour, enjoyed the lesson, look forward to more, thanks, Clive.

[BRobot]

Thanks for the lesson. Peace and Love be with you and yours. ♪♫♪♥♪♫♪

[GARYMANDIEVAN]

Great video Alan made me get my guitar out

[giorgiaelle]

Mi sono innamorata di questa canzone dalla prima volta che l'ho ascoltata. Lo stesso per Cold Dark Age e Breathe. I tuoi pezzi sono delle gemme preziose.
Grazie per il tutorial, è molto generoso da parte tua. Sei un grande artista.

[badmotherfarker]

What's really great about Alan is that he plays with the rhythmic tightness of a rock musician but with the detailed focus of a classical guitarist (e.g. making sure the leading voice is legato, that certain voicings are emphasized)!

[roberttine]

Hat or no hat, classical, modern or jazz, great music should touch the soul and please the ear. Thanks again

[jmichael]

"The less you move, the more you'll move people" GOLD!!!

[rootyp]

I love the introvert in you that loves music so much that you power through it to share your love for it all. Many thanks.

[svazquez-diaz]

I’ve just bought your album in bandcamp and I’m fascinated. This song is profoundly touching, music and lyrics. Everything you do squanders emotion. I wish you the recognition you deserve, it will proof that there’s a bit of justice remaining in the world! Keep following your heart and we will follow you. Greetings from Spain.

[dylankopff]

Hat or no hat you have a tremendous gift, I listened to the whole album the other day I swore I heard, Brian may, U2, even Satriani influence in the playing amazing

[MrRetinas]

Thank you for going through your song in such depth I’ve learned so much. All the best!

[juancpgo]

incredibly beautiful song.. I really need to drive a long road listening to it.. a warm bath for the soul
