She's Always A Woman Billy Joel on acoustic (close up)

[HurdRandy]

VEry interesting. You dont see the guitar played in such a way very often. How did you go about transposing this song?

[Gelsyviolet]

Bravissimo!

[milklauz]

i believe this song is hard to play and sing at the same time

[fabiokapinha91]

@milklauz every thing it's possible when you try harder with out give up

[maxhack89]

It is very clear...and very good...but you can just add what chord you used...thk u!!!!!

[MrBernardLynch]

Great playing and a lovely version. Have just posted version for solo guitar , have a look if you get chance... And well done!

[mick1ge]

best acoustic version i have seen,very talented guy verygood  tutorial ,,,,,ty for posting it

[PAFC2004]

Amazing mate!

[xXbalisticnightXx]

you are soooo goood! could you do a close up on the picking thooo? it would really help!!!

[birdee20]

super awesome play :D

[gdiddi]

nice,very nice , your voice fits this song perfectly.

[takaw31]

whoa.. sooo goooood!:D

[jundiwa]

Nice voice too...

[aaronic21]

This looks very different from the Tabs on ultimateguitartabs,,!!!!!

[JOHNNYSWL]

@aaronic21 This is exactlly like a tab on Ultimate guitar tabs... the only difference is he did it with no capo in this video. The tab Im referring to was tabbed by Peter Tuyp

[SUPERCREG1990]

Amazing playing!!! Have you got a list of these chords anywhere? Thanks

[gjoygutierrez]

another piece to learn....looks easy to play...

[dinshaw2007]

what a beautiful arrangement. than you for sharing.

[Viladomatus]

Excellent work!

[Jagwa3]

this is one of the best videos ive ever seen on youtube

[KeengToorreegoosaa]

You played the guitar accurately and you have a very good voice sir... You've just became one my idols...!

[airsqua11]

hi sir can i ask a favor? would make a tab of this song? i really really wanted to learn this song because my girlfriend i dedicate this song to her. unfortunately i'm not got guitarist but i really wanted to learn this song to play for her...

i'll appreciate if you can make a tab for me..thanks sir!

[jebong1989]

wow ur really good..can u pls send me the chords of this lovely song..thanks!

[megmyatt]

My hands are totally not big enough to do some of these chords! I'm so restricted :(

[Zappycakes]

Awesome dude 

[eraday]

I spent the whole day learning to play this exactly like you play it. I dare say this is the best lesson I've ever had on YouTube. Still need to work out some kinks but I think I got it down. I never woulda thunk that the most intricate song I'd learn to play thus far on guitar (been playing 13 years now) is a song by Billy Joel?!? of all people! Anyway, thanks man, for an absolute gem of a tutorial. You totally made my day. Tutorials like this are what make YouTube great!

[MrMick118]

mate u r class gonna check out al ur vids, kep em cumin

[kinkylepricorn]

The chords and guitar arrangement were fanastic your voice wasn't bad but could be improved on some of the higher parts of the song, overall though great composition man!

[granrlaws2]

alright mate what cords u playing there?

[TheJmccready]

fantastic

[supergurljham]

is that in standard tune?

[sora6696]

what is the first to chord u play..??Can u tell what chord i can replace these two..??cuz my heand is too small can play chord properly...

[dormanbenton]

Man. You did an inedible take on this song vocally and instrumentally. I'm looking to play this song myself. This sounds real nice on guitar. I wish I knew what your other hand was playing.

[r0xxx1]

Awesome thank you for this.I love how songs written for piano sound great on an acoustic if done rigiht.

[tidedetergent]

I'd be interested in a version without vocals - the vocals sound great, of course - but it would be helpful to be able to hear just the guitar part as clearly as possible, in order to make it a bit easier to pick up the fingerpicking pattern.

[Uljassutai]

Thanks to Mr. MTreed55 for posting this. I tabbed this out for myself and thought others might like it as well (all the posts below). The sections are jumbled right now, but in a couple days youtube should get it in order. The last section has a few typos that I realized after the fact, but you should figure it out. Have fun!

[looney008]

dude thanks for tabbin this... mrtreed55+you= awesome!!

[Uljassutai]

[avrichbrad]

[mdf072]

Well done! Thanks for this!

[greenecycle]

This is awesome! Thanks for posting. You sing and play this beautifully.

[DMartin1997]

I recently heard it song performed live while recently attending one of the Boston Fenway alliance arts and cultures events on Columbus Day. It was performed by a student who goes to Boston Conservatory School of Music. I sounded great with piano ! It inspired me to learn this song by guitar, as I dont know how to plan piano. I did not think it would sound the same with a guitar until I hear you !

[GOLFHUNK4U]

wow what an amazing job, you perfected playing this song, this is flawless, 10 stars for you my friend.

[atph120890]

people will love you if you teach them how to play this....

[dil2111]

Parkside Drive - fancy sharing your hardwork in your transcription for those less able...? Like me...!!

Please..!?

(I have no guitar brain to keep up with the finger movement unless written down or gone through very slowly for me..)

[ejl1962]

Oh man you are the best. Iwas looking for this tabs. THANKS!!

[madmanws17]

you are great i like the song hahaha awesome great job

[strar8]

1 word...awesome!

[Reeftech25]

This is fantastic, you make it look so simple, that's when genius reveals. Thanks!

[mtreed55]

Probably has more to do with "practice" than "genius", but I like your thinking :)

[1shin123]

@mtreed55 what takes most practice is to sing along while picking xD

[DWine99]

This is the second video I've seen of yours. I'm currently using your Fleetwood Mac post to learn Never Going Back Again. I am definitely going to hit this one after I get NGBA down. COMPLETELY impressed and appreciative of the way you do these posts as you seem to focus on making your left hand actions highly visible to the audience. That is SUCH a huge help I can't begin to tell you. Bravo, mtreed55! Amazing play, and perfectly filmed. Pure Internet gold for musicians, my friend.

[francescotuba]

Sei proprio bravo!

[carot2003]

That was great. almost perfect...

[UltimateToronto]

AMAZING job.

[TheParksideDrive]

Great performance Mtreed, I transcribed your playing in standard notation and Tab, Does anyone know an easy way I Can get this up for ppl.

Cheers

Dave

[wafu2dati2eh]

Wow man! You're so fantastic! So at last you give us a chance to see your chords of how you made it. Thank you so much. More power to you mtreed55.

[pussig]

If anyone got it, please dont hesitate :D

[mortenscoobo]

[strchris1]

[billierod23]

[mtreed55]

I figured this out a long time ago one chord at a time, and unfortunately there are no tabs. That's the main reason I recorded a version with a close-up of my hands. Sorry.

[henraman]

@billierod23 the tabs r on ultimate guitar.com

[jaii013]

cool. thanks
