Guitar Lesson - Norwegian Wood - Beatles

[StaticGull]

Bravo!

[zachewoldt]

Great video but you need a better camera

[Herecomeoleflattop]

Great lesson...I do it the same but don't adopt the C shape as you do. Still works though.

[fungus0roxanne]

You're so awesome. Thanks so much for putting up this tutorial! You make it so simple!

[Adman44]

The story is that Paul and John were joking about what they would do if a girl turned them down... John said he would burn her house down. It is also a jab at the abundance of "low rent" women living in flats furnished with "Norwegian Wood" which was basically very cheap, rather crappy looking furniture.

[binladinzmum]

Great lesson. Try playing the first part of the d minor section at the fifth fret (e - 5th, b 6th and g 7th) to get the melody note. Keep up the good work!

[Agtronic]

Great lesson, thanks!! I still can't get over how many great songs they wrote together.

[inspiredbyshikari]

way too fast dude slloowoww dooowwnnn!

[ThePatient189]

great lesson goldhat, thanks much!

[jpjames1]

Nice bit of info

[PhilWithCoffee]

Hm, as I heard it, he used Norwegian wood to describe cheap furniture made out of pine, and people called it Norwegian wood to make it sound nicer. What I heard was that the song was about one of Lennon's affairs, and in the end he burns her apartment down for making him sleep in the bath.

[yourmiv82]

i heard the too, when she left for work, there was no fire wood so lennon burnt the Norwegian wood, the girl was a prostitute i thought, 'i once had a girl, or should i say she once HAD me', 'she told me she had work in the morning and i started to laugh'.

[Skateboardsrus]

thank you, your kwl

[RLaidEPeas]

It's actually believed that Norwegian Wood was said instead of "knowing she would" not "I knew she would". But other than that, good job with the lesson - although to play along with the recorded version, you'll need a capo on the 2nd fret, and play the chords relative to that.

[komnuigang2]

But I might be wrong.. anyway, thanks for the lesson.. really enjoyd learning the song..

[komnuigang2]

im a bit confused.. im a little new in this but im pretty sure that the notes are played D / C x2 but when after you hit the Dm i think it should be G and NOT C..... and THEN Dm / Em....

[webcams101]

This is a better version, and if your new don't comment on his version. I like this guitar version more than the original. Besides the original was played on an Indian Instrument (Not Native American Indian)

[infidel93]

A sitar, I believe it's called.

[gumballthechewy]

It was the first time a sitar was recorded a do believe, not a hundred percent sure though.

[d46512]

I don't play guitar but I enjoyed your performance... excellent, thank you!

[thingymerwotsithotm]

Thank u so much u rock

[juliagiacinto]

awesome! i can totally play this now, thank you :)

[utubadore]

As always, your lessons are wonderful. Your choice of songs, clear presentation and warm performance are always appreciated. Thanks for your help in my efforts to learn guitar.

[idowish12]

Thanks that was great.

[loydchristmas89]

great video! i enjoy playing this song.

[RattleSnack]

Methfree,this is from wikipedia.

Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)" is a song by The Beatles which first appeared on the 1965 album Rubber Soul. While credited to Lennon/McCartney, it was primarily written by John Lennon, though Paul McCartney contributed to the middle eight section.

George didn't write this.

[warkipo]

thanks, I've been wanting to learn this song for the longest!

[bigdjindustriez]

I Don't remember this guitar, it's a washburn isn't it? Good lesson btw.

[goldhat3]

Guild D-25 cherry 1974.

[bigdjindustriez]

Oh yes that is a Guild isn't it. I Should've known Mr. Goldhat wouldn't play something as cheap as a washburn haha. Apparently Washburn stole the Guild pickguard design.

[kirdef95]

[PostcardKittenMeow]

Thanks for these lessons, really great stuff.

Em7 and A in the 'chorus' rather than Em and A7 - sounds more like the record to me - plus capo at 2.

[rasmusmansson85]

Thank you from Sweden! Now I'm going to try learning the best song ever made. Keep up the good work!

[sierralovespaul]

Thanks!! I totally learned this song :D

Your a great teacher, especially for slower people like me lol

[goldhat3]

Slow is as slow does, and that's my favorite pace ;)

[IanAlmond]

If we're doing requests, I can't find a lesson for "And I Love You So" anywhere, and from your previous efforts I think you're the best man for the job. I think a lot of people would be grateful.

:-)
