Van Morrison - Brown Eyed Girl - Super Easy Song Lesson on Acoustic Guitar

[ANOTHERHOLEINYOHEAD]

I hate this song. It reminds me of those boring nights out on the town 10 years ago when I never used to pull.

[JJsReptiles]

lol "sha la la all over the joint"

[BubblesAndCookiesFTW]

that was really helpful thanks :)

[guiterdun01]

Good job, but you're fingering is off on Em.  If you'll just chord the Emaj then take your first finger off, you'll have the correct fingering for Em.

[godOFcod88]

gonna get so much pussy with this

[xTNTxTIMx]

@godOFcod88 yay for pussy!

[GottaPlayTrumpet]

Would be very cool if you even talked through the lyrics, but something tells me you can sing and aren't doing it. :)

[wantedman1000]

douchebags unite!

[kryptonite702]

sorry but easy my ass

[GottaPlayTrumpet]

@kryptonite702 Dude, slow it down. Especially the riff. It's one of those ball buster shifts that your hand has to learn. As riffs go this one IS easy compared to a lot of other stuff, but for a beginner it can be difficult. Just keep practicing!!

[DanIsTotallyUncool]

Thank you for helping my try to impress a girl. haha

[DanIsTotallyUncool]

@DanIsTotallyUncool helping me*

[Didlers1]

[guyluca]

Hey, thanks for taking the time to do this. What kind of acoustic is that, really nice tight sound.

[frasierdog]

[DxJ90x]

Easier way of playing intro

G0 G2 B0 G2 G0 | B1 B3 E0 B3 B1 | G0 G2 B0 G2 G0 | D4 D4 G0 G2

[DxJ90x]

@DxJ90x G0 = Open G string etc

[DeathAdder1975]

@DxJ90x

this kinda how i learn to play guitar also by when i learned smoke on watcher with the 03530330 trick as an example.. not the full note so dont try that part lolz

[DeathAdder1975]

@DeathAdder1975 ops i ment smoke on the water not Watcher lmfao

[AnnieIsWhatWeAimFor]

Any other songs with just these chords? So easy. (:

[titanogco]

Love your video... Been practising all day :-) You rock!

[wooac]

Bored with this request, no?

[TheMightyGardener]

Very nice job indeed..Keep the good work up Marty!

[MrRhard123]

Not easy..I suck :( I just got a guitar today for my birthday and I was like yeahh! Gonna learn something!

[SirCaptainFilms]

@MrRhard123 learn how to play a horse with no name by america, and wild thing by the troggs, ultra super simple stuff

[adamponeil]

Dang complainers. I have been playing guitar for like 3 months and Marty's videos have been the biggest help to me. Plus I was determined and practiced like 2 hours a day some days. So try harder and dont knock Marty's videos because they are very easy due to his teaching style.

[elmoskater]

why does he play the d chord with all six strings im a begginer but when i looked up chords it says ur ment to only play for the bottom 4 strings nd dont touch the top 2

[djorourke94]

@elmoskater I dont think he does. a D chord with all six strings played would sound awful

[martinet1985]

@elmoskater he actually plays the D chord with the bottom 4 strings...

[xXUnD34Dx]

Putting the strum pattern in letters really helps out a ton. You should do it in all of your videos.

[xxPajaritaxx]

i've never played guitar in my life and im actually getting it

#fuckyeaaah

[KatiieeKandi]

if i learn to play this my mum will love me forever:L

[jeffbriggs1987]

[Predator2169]

[DeathAdder1975]

Hey Marty could u do Matchbox 20 Unwell?

[randon1337]

what's the difference between playing e minor chord with your index and middle finger and with your middle and ring finger ?

[hellsbeast1992]

before we sha la la all over the place...rofl

[jhatt25]

FUCK!!!! cant you just give me your brain when you die!!!! it'd be less frustrating!!!

[Dinosaurslapper]

EVERY song I look up to learn Marty has a lesson for it, much appreciation man! ^.^

[predjee]

On the G C G D chords, does he strum all the snares ? To me it sounds like he does.

But when i look up the chords, it tells me for example on the D chord, to only strum the 4 highest snares.

What should i do ?

[Aristox116]

@predjee the D Chord is properly played by only strumming the 4 highest strings.

[brotolas]

I was looking at tabs to this song, and was like WTF how do these people get their hands to play these tabs??? Thanks Marty :)

[daiskibe]

Thanks great stuff

[wickedwizardofspeed]

screw weak ass campfire versions. i want to learn it the real way...

[TheSlowredchemical]

i just cant do it, i suck ):

[highburyo]

Cheers Marty! Easily the best guitar teacher ive ever had! By any chance have you done a lesson on "Hey, Johnny Park!" by Foo Fighters? if you haven't and do end up doing one then i don't expect you to sing it :P

[P4SQU13R]

If you wanna skip to the melody, its at 4:34

[CajunDudeInLA]

Learned this song fast due to Marty.

Thanks for the upload.

[pensterify]

[thedore123]

thanks marty that tutorial was amazing, i havent long started playing guitar and that was a boost for me to learn some of the chords on guitar and because it was so clear i picked up the song straight after :)

[number1musiccritic]

Another AWESOME cover of this song, type in "Castlecomer - Brown Eyed Girl". The harmonies i found were AMAZINGGGGG!

[EPICFAILS2000th]

I Learned that song when i was 12 ! :D It is EASY !! :DD Marty You Rule !!

[abigailsiobhanxx]

WORSE YOUTUBE TEACHER EVER YOU MEAN? WANT TO PUNCH THIS GUY IN THE FACE. I DON'T KNOW A G 'CHORD;

[genaussie]

@abigailsiobhanxx

Then look up how to play a G chord. This isn't a basic chording tutorial. It's a song tutorial.

[abigailsiobhanxx]

@genaussie clearly says, super easy song

[thedore123]

@abigailsiobhanxx learn a g chord then simple stuff :)

[dcomairsoft]

[MsWolfgh]

[Irbing20]

[sixstringaling]

I have a very good teacher, in baton rouge Stan Campbell. But I really like your videos. You have great personality and ability. I have watch a lot of videos, and yours are the very best.

[LessThan3Fender]

This was really helpful. Thank you.

[jimmyharley1988]

marty!! can you show me how to play sultans of swing!!!! please



[MrChrisbrit]

can you sing and play???? it very nicew anyway....

[gupzzzzz]

thanx



[Icyjwizzard]

can i replace C with Cadd9?

[boctalition]

THATS NOT EASY

[SmashinBananas]

Is he using the major triad for D chord or the power chord? Or does it not matter.

[2tired2think2night]

anyone else notice that this is virtually the same as time of your life by green day? (if not look up his tutorial on it)

[obbor4]

Another great, easy to follow lesson.  Thanks, Marty, you're the best!!

[XxOpticPredatorx1]

hey i only started guitar a few days ago and i wondering when i try to switch to the c chord i always stuff up so what should i do?

[crazyfruitbat]

@XxOpticPredatorx1

Just keep doing it, in the end you won't think about it - it becomes natural. It's frustrating but keep doing it and you'll get the hang of it.

[The92Hotrod]

my hero marty

[sweeneyfred]

You're a Hero

[Iankob512]

I learned to play the melody you gotta be aggresive

[MrBadElmo]

would love a reply on this question. I just started with guitar like 2 days ago starting to get a hang of it learned the entire metallica song one (not the hard solo though but start solo etc.) so i have some problems with the strumming or what u call it so when i play like a "D" is it a big deal if i hit the upper E ? or should i just don't care and play the song with some flaws like the D might be hitting on the e etc. would love a reply very fast :) and btw Marty ur the BOSS

[MrRoundel]

Great tutorial. While I play more of an arpeggio version of the song (At least I think it does ;-) ) , I would not have picked up the intro without your lesson. You've got a great gift as a teacher. You explain things well and keep your unused fingers out of the way so we can see what you're doing. If I do a cover of the song I'll give you credit (blame?), behind Van Morrison of course. Thanks.

[MrRoundel]

Very helpful tutorial videos. When I cover this one on my page, I'll give you credit. While I do more of an arpeggio version, I couldn't have gotten the intro without you. Many thanks. I also watched your Jim Croce, Leroy Brown tutorial and it was good as well. You've got a gift as a teacher. You explain things easily and keep your unused fingers out of the way. Many thanks. MrR

[SuperBoxhead]

@denversnowboarder try harder

[denversnowboarder]

@SuperBoxhead ive been playing for 10 days dude

[denversnowboarder]

[grigri750]

@denversnowboarder dude, I´m playing since about 2 month and even I can play this song!

[gregwarren51]

Marty. Thanks so much for all your stuff.



[MrDeepsleeper]

hey marty do you think you can teach me any guitar version of a song called "perfect girl" by JB and the Moonshine Band?

[brndnmshr68]

hey Marty thanks for all these free lessons I was wondering if you could be a pal and teach us how to play "behind blue eyes"

[rckyrd]

lol......5:05 "i just got my thumb on the G string"

[Tigerman1143]

i love you :D no homo

[deepanshuisrocking]

yu r the best ever teacher marty. . . . . i learn a lot from your lessons :):))))) thanks a lot :)))

[summertime5678]

[AwesomeBeatles]

All over the joint ?, that shits funny.

[philosophyisthebomb]

[xHuTchZz]

BEST TEACHER ON YOUTUBE EVER!!!!

[BOXINGFANFAN]

@xHuTchZz Totally agree

[radingjamaflam]

77 people hate brown eyed girls, you say justin beiber i say van morrison! 89% of young kids listen to automated processed pop, we are the 11% that don't. thank you martz

[m0nkeyinthejungle]

[arijit2411]

[srhavoc94]

Marty I just started learning and I only knew Ball and Chain by Social Distortion any video I watch of u playing I can play it and for that I thank you very much

[RoyWriter]

okay i am definately playing this song for my Guitar Class mid term

[jackofalltrades1993]

you dont have the intro quite right i think, i have heard a version where for the lick you come back to the 35753 on the little e string, then you hit 5 235. listen to the record.

[zeemonkeyman1]

@jackofalltrades1993

nobody cares

[M4RT1N1007]

marty you are the best ever man !!!

[lottie20032]

you rock bro.... plain and simple. thank you so much for the awesome lessons you post on you tube. May the good karma flow back your way my friend

[nicnac4321]

awsome video i know aii da chords but i still cant play it

[ShinerDaze]

I'm havin trouble with my C chord, I don't know if my finger is touching another string or something. When I strum it's really short and doesn't sound right? Help? /:

[WeDogsHowl]

@ShinerDaze dd uu du for each cord and same here dude i cant seem to get my c cord properly and my fingers are irritating me but im not giving up

[Chris90skates]

@WeDogsHowl Do your fingers have callices yet? They would help greatly with the pain. Just play the guitar for 1 hour a day and they will come.

[ShinerDaze]

Does he mean go DDUUDU for each chord? Or change the chord each stroke?

[trombonegirl64]

Thanks Marty for this one, being a brown eyed girl myself it's my anthem song. Nice to be able to play it now :-) x

[voirdoire]

Love you, dude.

[bubafoo]

Ive never seen anyone so good at explaining guitar, Im getting a lot better and half of it has to do with this dude.

[jakster1234711]

Awesome

[Ladybugz1975]

I always wanted to learn how to play the guitar but was afraid to try (no musical talent at all) My husband bought us a guitar today. This was the first video I came across and I am so happy to have found this. This song was my Dad's fav. He use it sing to me when i was little. I can't wait to try it.

[thedombombisback]

I've been trying to play this for a week now I just can't switch from g to c fast enough. Makes me want to quit guitar

[Clayman60x]

@thedombombisback just keep going at it, it took me a while to be able to switch chords like that

[75SilentWarrior]

@Clayman60x YOu can try to change how you hold the G from your index on the route and out your middle finger on the low E string 3rd fret your ring finger on the A string 2nd fret and you pinkie on the high E 3rd fret.

[CharlieeeBeee]

@thedombombisback No, don't you dare, you've invested all thsis time into it and now look your throwing it in?! I was the same then I did it fast, then I encountered barre chords and I couldn't play them, now I can and its so rewarding stay with it.

[234weinerdog]

at the end u shoulkd put the chourds on the screen
