Cat Stevens - If you Want to Sing Out Sing Out - Acoustic Guitar Lessons

[Coolmike369]

Hi Marty! Thank you so much for your amazing guitar lesson. You're a fantastic teacher and I have a lot of fun in practising 'cause you show us in such a cool way how easy it can be to play guitar. Wow!

[veeeith]

I dont play guitar at all, I just need to learn this thing for my role in a theatre piece we do, and I dont get when to change chords.

In the progression

DDU DUDUUDUUDU

G Cmaj i figuered that the first three are the g, but then it gets to fast! I have no experience at all, so have mercy on my soul :)

Could someone help me and tell when to switch? thank you!

[kangaroofootball101]

@veeeith you know what a measure is right?

[talentnotrequired]

I think thats the first time I've heard you actually sing along!

[evanGiNG]

Marty>my (now ex) guitar teacher. You're awesome bro. keep it up!

[gdorrity1]

Thank you Marty, for posting these tutorials. I have an amazing teacher and he is helping me (a beginner) learn this song to play with my students at a school program. However, your video is such a great addition to my learning. Please keep posting!

[amfit2btied1966]

[usernameofagod]

[usernameofagod]

[CRAIGARRR]

@usernameofagod the chords on "ultimate" are a bit more complicated.. I am going to chord out Marty's version and post it on Ultimate Guitar.. Least I will have a guide to go by when I cant have this awesome video tutorial playing!

[FurleysAscot]

Good, solid teaching.

[tugboatMOLLY]

i can't thank you enough for this! online tabs are the worst, it's good to see the rhythm and different chord formations. you took the frustration out of learning this song!

[d3eka]

[themeca100]

I've requested it in every video i've watched of yours to PLEASE!!!!!!!!! tell us how to hold our fingers for the chords!!!!!!!!

[AndyRiotRed]

[GreatWhiteNInjaSauce]

Terrific lesson, but I found it easier to cut out the pinky on the G altogether.

Sounds a little different, but not too huge.
