Incubus - Pardon Me Guitar Lesson

Sign up for my GL365 Academy to finally understand the guitar, develop a great ear for music, pro level technique and much more! Personalized support from me!

In this Pardon Me guitar lesson video, I will show you how to play this great song from Incubus note-for-note.

The tuning is standard tuning, E A D G B E.

We will start with that instantly recognizable guitar intro by Mike Einziger. This is created by using volume swells and some nice sounding guitar effects. I will briefly cover those effects in the video.

From there we will cover every section of the song in the order that each appears on the original recording.

Have fun with this classic by Incubus! Carl...

Basic guitar hobbyist here. I've probably learned 100 songs from your videos over the years. I felt guilty for receiving so much value for free. Finally supporting you with money now. Thank you for everything! You're the best!

Mike is definitely underrated as a guitar player. His use of chords, tones & effects is some of the best from that era!

So sad to hear. This side of YouTube is what makes the platform actually great, because it's got so much instructional and educational value. If you use it wisely. As others have said, Carl ist one of the best. Period. I have learned so many songs... Thanx, man! And yes, i'm starting to consider joining a patreon Academy...Or online Academy...

Says he doesn't really know the tone and setup that well, then proceeds to nail the tone and setup. Every time.

Carl I hate this song but, you don’t need to leave YouTube at all. If I could learn to play songs I like on a line 6 amp I’d pay you gladly to teach me. You’re the best on here.

In the same vein, I'd love a tutorial on Megalomaniac by Incubus; one of my favorite songs on one of my favorite albums. I've only recenty started playing guitar a couple months ago and I've learned a lot from your videos. :)

I follow several YouTube tutorial pages and I’ll usually watch several different ones when I’m trying to learn a song because everyone does things a little different. I’ve always found yours to be the most accurate. But you are all a treasure and it’s appreciated.

Thank you Carl for all the amazing lessons over the years. I've learned almost all of my songs through you and I look forward to learning more when I get back into playing my guitar

There was some good music that came out of the New Rock era. Incubus was definitely one of my favorites! Thanks for sharing this lesson Carl!

[DanielECarroll]

I remember wanting to learn this song years ago but struggling to find a good tab for it. Excited to finally learn it once and for all!

[Bugkiller-]

You really are the best teacher dude. I am years into playing and have learned a bulk of my songs from you. Seriously, you are awesome!

[jongeider]

Carl! You’re literally the best! I can’t tell you how much I’ve learned from you. Was apart of the academy for awhile too. Need to rejoin, but please keep going. Don’t know what I’d do with out you. More incubus too!

[Kind_Traditions]

Love it! Finger Eleven- Falling On would be a cool one to learn...

[jake.e.wanabee]

Effects and swell techniques, notes on effects used, and complete instruction on the song, are perfect again, and again, another perfect rendition, thank you Carl. Some Jake.E.Lee. from The Ultimate Sin and Badlands Please 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻please🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻. Can I include Andy LaRoque from King Diamond too. Anything from the albums Abigail or Them would be awesome.
