Excellent tutorial! Too many uploads on different songs from various people don't break down everything for rank beginners like myself. This is so helpful as you show the strumming and the chords.
To those who post negative comments regarding this lesson. This lesson is simple and encourages beginners and helps build confidence. The beginner can work out to improve on it with experience later on. I can now play 4 songs and a lot of it is down to making the first step. This was my fist step and I am truly grateful to this guy. So FourThree....... Many many thanks.
I personnel play this D G A, D G EM7 also with a couple of little licks, use a capo on the 10th to get a kind of mandolin type sound. I've posted my version please excuse my singing though.
and hes a lier,im fed up with ppl teaching songs with so called 4 chords,and only damn down strums,but when they play it u go ur hammer ons and pull offs,and then beginers r wondering what they r doing wrong and why it dosnt sound as good,break it down mate
Good on ya mate for wanting to share what you know! Cheers from Auckland New Zealand. You just taught someone something all the way from the land down under! Hey you know that one??? lol
Great job FourThreeStudios, I'll teach my kids this lesson thanks very much from Dave Snowy Mtns Australia. BTW, James Morrison does a great version. I recommend give it a bit of the mongrel as you the voice for it!
Nice singing!Guitar is a little choppy,try a few hammer-ons,pull-offs,finger-picking,and palm-muting,and up-strokes,and variation.Maybe some rhythm lessons,too.Nice job,really,I'm trying to be helpful.
Can you please make an instruction vide for another Cat Steven song--ild world. You make such an easy to learn instruction videos. Hope it's not too much to ask.
wow your good!man iv'e been playing for half a year left handed then i moved and my new teacher made me start again right handed(im a lefty!!!)so thats 1 and a half years and this is the best iv ever been taught!its realy simple but i wouldnt hav known if it werent 4 u.ty,you should post lessons!
not good...i just went straight to chords...cause i play piano and write some songs and its hard to make accompaniment with the piano...so just knowing some chords is all im really focusing on for now...and once i get that i'll probably start learning some fingerstyle or something...but ya...just working backwords...
great !
