Ooh La La | Learn Guitar With David Brent

"I was born in Reading, but I'd moved to Slough before I was 30." :P
David Brent - inspiration for the nation

"she's the Serpent Who Guards The Gates of Hell" still gotta be my favorite lyric of all time

This lesson's my absolute favorite.
Also, I can play most of Jimi Hendrix' songs now.
Thanks, David!

Davids style of teaching is easy going and he seems to know just how to tell me what to do without my confused mind gettting all tangled up

"Dreams are realer than reality, in a way, because reality changes." Great philosophy from Brent.

I never did really 'get' David Brent in the Office, but this is fabulous! Really well observed and executed. Tell us about your beautiful Martin guitar, David, and what strings and plectrum you use!

These songs are seriously better than what's currently in the charts today.

I'm so glad you brought David Brent back. You're a great composer and honestly you have a lovely voice, my friend.

Absolutely love this. Regardless of the content (which is really funny) those looks at the camera and shoulder shrugs make me crack up. Gervais is a genius and Brent is a legend

Thanks for uploading this tutorial, David.
I've been trying to learn the guitar for 32 years, but after viewing your video, I've pinpointed my problem. It turns out I've been playing a left-handed instrument all these years.
Thank you

its the "Hi" his face gets me every time!

Fantastic stuff , really looking forward to the next one , always wanted to hear the full version of spaceman ever since listening to it on the office. "you've opened your eyes your now colourblind" :)

Ricky I love that you keep doing what you want! Keep surprising us I love it.

Love watching these videos. Hope there's more to come!

Please make a short album and place these on Spotify. I would buy this!

Oh God that was so moving... can you email me the chord positions and words please David... you sing with such passion and conviction. You're such a good teacher

I have this stuck in my head, its actually really good!

i would love to see some choruses on these songs, they are perfect for someone to sing in the backround along with it

One of the great philosophers of our time.Wish I had a mind like that.

can't wait for the next one, sounds great !

Seriously, the world needs an entire album from David Brent!

MORE MORE MORE
I just love listening to you.
A great guitar lesson.
Thank you so much {|:~)xx

well done Ricky, the return of david brent!!! more tutorials please

ricky gervais is one of my favourite human beings on earth... the number of times he's made me full on belly laugh!

David Brent is one of the most interesting and fool proof comedy character creations of all time.

I assume an album will be made available with the full versions of these songs? They are great. I want to cruise down the highway, as Smerch would say "in my open top Chevy," and have this music on in the background.

I've learned so much from this video. From now on, I will always get it checked.

I know it's only rock n' roll but I like it, like it...yes I do! Outstanding performance and tutorial.

Very interesting philosophy of teaching and unorthodox. I like how you get people to 'think out of the box' and fly with imagination! Excellent.
I was very surprised at the professional level of song expression. Well done and congratulations!

I've missed David Brent. So glad Ricky has brought him back and he can still remember how to play him.

He was in a band in the 80's :) he's awesome!

he is way funny... he is a comedic genius.

always classical. keep the uploads coming!

In many ways im glad you took tat seriously. It shows that the magic of David Brent truly is a believable character.

"I was born in Reading but now living in Slough". Absolute classic.

I genuinely enjoy Brent's songs, especially ones from The Office.

Amazing, put a smile on my face today.

Hi David, great video, could you plublish the lyrics, I'm writing my thesis for my masters and need some inspiration. thanks!

This song is so amazing. Is this his own song? I'd like this on itunes or something.

I actually quite like this song :) And Ricky has a surprisingly good voice :)

First time I've seen this. Instant classic.

David Brent . A British comedic genius ! We love it !

These are great, love it Ricky

Ricky .... this is wat I need 2 make me laugh in the morning, although I don't think many people get ur humour, well done keep em coming :) x

That was actually really catchy! I liked it!

“Sure she cried, but by then I was gone” lmao love it

Brent needs to bring out an album!

You're absolutely brilliant Ricky. One of our generations's best comedians. Thank you for all the laughs. xx

Good old Gervais, never fails to lose, the best comedian alive ! thanks for all the laughs, Good to see Brent back in action, How about an update with Old Finchy ! have him around for some beers ?

David Brent you creep! It is always hysterical. Keep them coming. Oh la la

It would be really helpful if he explained the strumming pattern

Inspiring stuff Mr Brent, do you have any masterclass tips for ukulele?

I love this, this is the same guy David who was in the documentary The Office. He should just release an album.

Brent should be in the charts!
Oh and a judge on The Voice....

I absolutely love this series. Seriously.

"Dreams are real"....love it

As a guitar player, this is some of the funniest stuff I have seen in a long time. As a Fan of David Brant, this is some of the funniest stuff I have seen in a long time! Ooh La La!

I love very much the thematic continuity that characterises all your art. Juxtaposed with the haunting 'Freelove Freeway', the listener is irresistibly, but willingly, drawn into the vastness of the Arizona desert, steel-rimmed sunglasses, the V8 in that big ol' Chev just rumbling away, passing the miles, a sweet senorita at your side.
This speaks to everybody who has ever dreamed a dream. You are so right, they are sometimes more real than reality.
You are much better than Passenger.

not the best guitar playing in the word, Mr Brent, but I appreciate the heart!

you bring flesh to my bones pure musical genius thank you

Is it just me who thinks these songs arent that bad?

Loving these videos!

I wish i could play the guitar even as well as Ricky can. He's actually surprisingly good at it.

Well done. Saved me typing out the same sentiment! This is what happens when comedy goes mainstream! Arsetards abound!

"There's nothing that you need to say." Boys, memorize that line for when you're married and it'll make things a whole lot easier.

Love the grin and the eyes moving around... LOL!!!! This is great!

Great tune, Mr. Brent. Even better than the previous one. And I agree, Beautiful Day might've been a more suitable song title, haha :) Greetings from Finland, sir.

Brent, although he is ridiculous, he is quite philosophical! Haha! Good work Gervais!

We seriously need a full David Brent album, I would buy 15 copies and give them to my mates, and not leave them in my garage like Gareth did.
Make it happen Ricky.

"should'ave called it 'Beautiful Day'.."
Genius.

Incredible:) Just awesome:)

As silly as this is, it actually helps my playing by reminding me to loosen up a bit :-)

Haha, the best thing about these videos are that the songs are actually pretty good! Also think the dialogue in this one is much funnier than last week's, though the lyrics are not as amusing. As I said though, I enjoy the songs mainly for the fairly respectable music!

"I was born in Reading...... but i'd moved to Slough by the time I
was 30 " .....BRILLIANT !

Love to see "David Brent Teaches Philosophy" haha

his songs are actually really good, definitely would buy his album if he ever released one

Thank you so much to take rhe time to teach us,,and I learnd a lot cause i play by year and soul,,Obrigado David ,Im ffrom Brazil but kiving here more than over tthere also promoting new or intrnational guys that I just love the music,So,again Thank you ,please dont stop teaching in ur special way ,,c

This is actually really good. He is a genius. Check out the music video he made in the early 1980s.

it shows how good 'David' is as a character for someone like that to believe in him

Learn Guitar With David Brent - Part 2 - Ooh La La

Brilliant songwriter, I'd buy an album.

You've still got it, David. Brilliant. Very adventurous moving from Reading to Slough. I'd love to hear your comments on Marijuana

Its actually really nice writing. A Lot of them are, If they were performed by someone else who looked the part they would be very good songs as they are.

many people don't know that ricky gervais used to be a singer and song writer for a band called seonas dancing back when he was younger... check em out, was kind of a mix between david bowie and spandau ballet

I had no idea Ricky could sing! Lovely.

it's actually pretty funny. you have to get into it. the way he uses stereotypes in lyrics and it almost makes a good song - brilliant.

"write about what you don't know" that sounds like Karl XD

Thanks, I remeber in the office, usualy when David tried to "entertain" people, they jost stared in embarrasment. but training day was the exception, his staff clapped along and even applauded his song, heck, even Tim and Gareth bonded a bit..setting the precedent for David actually doing something that entertained people.
I

Haha brilliant! Can't wait for next one too

David is a very knowledgable man. Reality changes, so your dream is more reality than reality. It was something along that line, wasn't it? Thanks for your oh la la

go Ricky (David Brent) what a legend!!!

"You're going to what? Think. Look at it. Get it checked."

He's got a bit of a Tom Petty type of arrangement to this particular song. I quite like it!!

He could go into actual songwriting and producing with this stuff hahaha

Please, more tutorials!!!! Its ON!

I cover this song.. Love it

Beautiful Gervais, beautiful music

Is it weird to like these songs.. Im loving the lyrics..

Hi David, I was just wondering if you could post some tabs of the songs as I think they're really good. Much prefer this style of teaching to the usual rubbish. Funny that you look like the bloke off the tele, Ricky Gervais. But I realised you can't be what with you being called David and him Ricky.
Keep up the good work! Tabs would be splendid. Just subscribed :)

LMFAO this is awesome go on Ricky lad
