Horse with no name Beginner acoustic guitar lesson

[MrPeperidge]

Very good. But the song I believe is intended with up strums on E minor and so on... Gives it the off beat like the song if you listen carefully. Well done tho

[giftbasketer2]

I am questioning where the offending forms of remarks are.

[antwon4u245]

hello. you are very good and i find your videos helpful but there is one problem.i need help tuning my guitar. now i have never played a guitar before but i really wanna learn. so if you could please make a video for me showing how to tune my guitar to play this specific song

[Genetyper]

I find this a helpful lesson thanks

[RitmoNo1]

I'm a lefty - after seeing this I have just bought my first guitar - this is the first tune I've learned - THANKS!

[AshweeSTFU]

Finding it near on impossible to up-strum without a pick, otherwise I'd have this down. You're a great teacher, subbing!

[plangentmusic]

E MAYner?

[esnava1]

[spiskifish]

thanks so much! Just trying to get the hang of changing chords now :P

[filipmrkonjic]

thank you so much!!

[nescaman]

I've only been playing for less than a year and can already play a few songs thanks to your easy to follow lessons. Great for when people ask me to play them a song. They're impressed!! Your lessons really do fast track learning. Thank you.

[deadley1]

Thanks, you've made it so simple as I am lefty too. I have just started playing! Great upload!

[Megabytings]

[XxJmac1xX]

[TheAlfonzo77]

amazing :D i just got my new acoustic guitar and this is the first song ive learnt! :D thanks!

[guitarman7477]

this is not the best version man.

[ParamorePanicRomance]

Thank you! That was one of the most helpful videos I've seen.

[ohman201031]

i love you thishelps a lot

[yoda189]

I'm really thankful! this is a great tuto

[Golopcz]

Thank you!

[SuperMadman101]

that song is soo easy to play!!! i cannot belive theres only 2 chords in the whole song

, but in the actual song i can here palm muting once you played the chord

[Knaz89]

Thanks! This song is really easy to play!

[Pookspoons]

Do you advocate the use of surgical spirt on the chord finger tips or is there an easier way? I've only been playing for a few minutes and my finger tips are really stinging!! HA HA!

[Pookspoons]

You are brilliant!! I've been struggling with my left hand strumming for over a year now on this song and can manage the chords(sort of) and you've just explained it perfectly for me!! I am such an idiot when it comes to the left handed guitar, but I feel as if I might make some headway with your lesson here. Thank you so much. XX

[skyedots]

Cool :) I was taught with a righty :O

[AmberGoins08]

Very helpful! Thanks so much!!! :-)

[BartS4177]

How do I decrease the "buzzing"?

[vladanime]

@BartS4177

press the string harder

[HeathLedger002]

is he strumming it right?? i saw some other videos and they're different!

[happydrum]

Thank you sir!...for me as a lefty its alot easier to follow along with you and not have to transpose

[lazyfret]

[phulme61]

Great Clip Thanx For This an Old Favourite of Mine From When My Late Friend [Bill Ridge] First Sang It To Me Back In 92!

[thekorre]

when you play your up strokes, start at what string?

[klaaswezel]

love it

[IrishJohnBoy91]

i need help...

i want to get an electric guitar...

is it ok to buy a right handed one and reverse the strings and play it upside down?

please help! thanks

[nickrulez809765]

@IrishJohnBoy91 yes i did that with a lefty strat but why not just buy a lefty?

[IrishJohnBoy91]

@nickrulez809765

i cant seem to find a lefty guitar anywhere! lol and any i do find are very expensive!

thanks for the help =)

[Theladiesman04]

@IrishJohnBoy91 I'm left handed to man and I play with the right handed. It's all the same just hard at the beginning is all. But only for a week or so. Think about it man go right handed that way you dont need to have your own guitar all the time. At a mates or party you can just pick up a guitar no hassel. You could go Jimi Hendrix style and turn string upsided down. But it wont look or feel right.

[celtagas]

is it not uncomfortable the other way around

[nickrulez809765]

@celtagas its a little strange at first but after about 3 days of playing you get used to it plus it looks pretty damn cool

[kaberichatterjee1]

its not uncomfertable  if you start with a left handed guitar ......

[lazyfret]

Hendrix did it ! I have never found a problem buying left hand guitars. I have 6 two acoustic, one electric acoustic and three electric. THey are always on ebay same price as right hand. Thanks, John S

[lucam123]

@IrishJohnBoy91

if you are beginning to play guitar it isn´t relevant to learn left - handed course both hands are untrained.

Sorry for myanswer if you are no beginner ;D

[Temarioneesama]

@IrishJohnBoy91 if you buy a right handed one i dont think you need to reverse the strings o.o

[gamerofmanytrades]

@IrishJohnBoy91 kurt cobain also did that

[Genuwine846]

Now if it were only that easy on the bass...ugh

[hotsticks1995]

THANK YOU SOOOOOOO MUCH!

You are awesome. You have taught me my first song. 5 Stars and Subbing. THANKS!

[rayruiz12345]

Nice lesson, i jsut started learning today

[jammingmopar]

I got it , Thanks for the help good lesson, was the best for me, Thanks

[GimpingMan]

This is a GREAT video!! I love the instruction and the printed stroked on the left of the screen!

Great Video!! Thanks!

[beekermanc]

Thanks so much...really got me thinking about positioning etc...just got my guitar at christmas and i'm really enjoying it...this tutorial was great...will look at your other stuff...thanks again

[theamazingsupergirl]

[james231289]

very helpful tutorial. Thanks alot!.

[Minimonster06]

the solo is very easy, only one chord. some guy shows you very well on a video!!!

p.s. I cant remember the name of the video

[svoit41]

Hey man go lefty's! I'm a lefty myself and I tell ya it's a pain in the neck finding a good guitar! I'm playing on an upside-down Ovation right now, got a new nut fitted to it so I could play it.Thanks for showing me this song!

[TheFencer8089]

i'm a lefty and i just play a right hand guitar. took me a day to get used to holding it but it works.

[loltooez]

Awesome video, helped a lot.

[proverbialcheese]

Great vid I agree with kenlay you make the struming make sense

[kenlay]

Great lesson. Thank you. Looking for the solo...

[konked]

Q: Ok what chords are there?

A: I wrote them, here you are

Q: you forgot y from Dadd

A:???

[vegitoxtreme]

weird that if I just fingerpick the upstrokes on the D chord thingy they sound yucky, but with a pick they sound good o0

[mooglerancha]

Very helpful!

[GrayRambo1]

Wow, that was a lot better than I thought it would be!

[kenlay]

Been playing guitar for a year. Have never really understood the strumming pattern to this simple song...until now. Great lesson.

[ebug9]

Great tutorial. Thanks a lot :)

[onikitas]

u're awesome!

[b512vieira]

thanks that really helped. keep posting more videos please

[KoLMagrinoM83]

thanks man helped alot

[Maracujamilkshake]

Isn't that Dadd6add9 an A7sus2?

[aussieosbourne]

go lefty's

[themightychickens]

First day playing guitar and I can already do this song.

[suaykee]

so is he holding the guitar upside down?

[Muppetica]

Nope, He's left handed.

[suaykee]

oh can i ask that if i buy a right handed guitar, is it possible if i alter it to a left handed guitar?

[themightychickens]

Just change the string order?

[suaykee]

yup can i? coz i heard not all guitar can be able to change.. not really sue..

[themightychickens]

I don't know, the guitar I have is the same on both sides, just changing the string order is possible here.

[suaykee]

ok thanks.. coz i wanna learn acoustic guitar.. Thanks!

[themightychickens]

You can also use a normal right handed guitar if you're left handed, it just requires a bit more practice.

It will enable you to use your right hand better too.

[Derekjcb]

Dude, you just have to invert the strings. :)

[MusicBuch]

I have been playing Guitar for 6 Years, and i have Always inspired this Song "Horse With No Name". Thank you for posting it here, because i thought there were something wrong with my tuning until i found this Video :) Thank you again :)

[XxFunnySmilesxX]

i like your accent!!! thx for this video. you taught it very well.

[RCbeastly]

Why only the left channel?

[naipsy]

Cheers mate I'm now on the way to getting my first tune down. Super chuffed

[gilbertk1993]

why no sound...?

[HecticOliver]

your left speaker is probably broken

[kurryification]

thank you so much.

you teach guitar very well.

im a beginner and i have confidence now

cuz i got it so quickly. :)

thanks again.

[brid1234]

I had actually picked my my first guitar tonight and have been practicing your song for about 3hrs now. My fingers hurt and they keep leaning on other strings (especially in change over) and it makes a vibrating yuck noise. Very annoying. Thanks for a lesson, will keep practicing, cheers heaps. Bridget - New Zealand.

[DamianSix66]

Dont give up i have been playing about 6 months now and I had exactly same problem for a week or so. Your fingertips will feel weird tomorrow like constant pins and needles in them.But you will start to get your first callouses and then wham no more fret buzz and you can show them off to non guitar players at how dedicated you are !  good luck its a great hobby and I got my first electric recently , I really got the bug now this guy is a great teacher and youtube is brilliant for learning .

[nooger187]

try to get your fingers closer to the metal fret bars

[jackerobi]

excellent 5*

[AshRobynSTFX]

Awesome! Thank you :D

[guyglowmore1]

was replying to dontswin's comment about left hand. shoulda said i use my head. good job by the way. now the video is stuck what gives?

[attackintherim]

i swear this is the easiest to learn with the notes on the side

[guyglowmore1]

i use my middle hand

[redbullmaniac89]

what?

[sirmatt181]

how many hands you got?

[only1pirate]

Thank you so much for this detailed lesson!

It helped me a lot! :)

[danske91]

thanks mate, just got my first ever guitar today and can already play it  :)

practise practise practice...

[dontswin]

No wonder I thought I was losing it...he's left handed...WTF?

[semperlupe]

Did you know that there are so many famous lefties? Kurt Cobain, Beethoven, Paul McCartney, Dick Dale, :D

[vasser420]

yea those ppl are fine but you forgot the 1 lefty that counts hendrix

[colummcclelland90]

did u know, on his first guitar he took all the strings of and put them the right way because he couldnt afford a left handed guitar

[nooger187]

i thot he played a righty guitar lefty

[colummcclelland90]

nope, he took the strings of... handy man

[nooger187]

wanna fight

[slevin881]

[semperlupe]

[TheTruthDominates]

[chronodude10]

nice tutorial

[jumpinthedog]

[Xelif37]

It's like a bloody mirror for right handed people, where is all the fuss? xD

[Music159753]

Love it!

Thank you so much.

Greetz, from Belgium

[Xircuits]

I'm a new left handed guitarist so I couldn't believe the luck I had when I found this video. Thank you again! I'm definitely bookmarking the video, adding to the favourites, and subscribing.

[jovan1152]

Im left handed, I gave up and ive been playing right handed for over a year now.

[Whis3]

best video on horse with no name for BEGINNERS on youtube. thank you

[wilhorstman]

I am very sorry, but a left-handed makes me also uneasy. I had a lefthanded student once..it drove me crazy!..,

[lazyfret]

How do you think we lefthanders feel living in a right hand world !

[crazzer123]

I dont blame you.

[MadMedic9]

Great vid, but it makes me uncomfortable to watch a lefty. So I got a little mirror and .... ..lol.

Also I learned it

Em DD DUDU

D+9 DUDU UDU

BUT REALLY LOVE THE PART WHERE YOU ADD PICKING. Awesome.

[lazyfret]

I learned from right handed players but I didn't use a mirror !

[mabbie328]

[downhillshotkills]

Nice, though i play it different.

Em: down-down-up-down-up-down-up

-- Switch to Dadd6add9 --

Dadd6add9: down-up-down-up-*up-up-down-up

* littl break here,

I know America is playing the Dadd6add9 different although this is how I learned it.

But still I also like yours :)

Sorry for bad English

[giasal1]

Hi Thank you very much, you explain very easy and that's good for me!

[pokerslut530]

Thanks for this. Took about 15 minutes for me to learn this!! The strumming tips you give about hitting the bass string solely first as your down strum is exactly the part I couldn't figure out by simply reading the chords! Thanks!!

[killajose55]

yo nice playing man i got a ibanez guitar:D

[esther444]

Veri nice.

[skatetolive101]

[donkeywonkeyconky]

WOW!!! I dont normally comment on tutorials (this is my first comment ever) but after seeing this one (and adding to my favourites aswell as subscribing) I felt compelled to say how easy you have made it! Just to echo everyone elses comments on here you are by far the best teacher on You Tube!!!

[misfit496]

Thank you soooo much! This made it super easy. Great song, great lesson.
