Best Friend by Amy Winehouse Guitar Lesson

[WineRgHouse]

Wow.. cool video i learn the song in 2 days, the intro its the same as the end.. right?

[garonaron]

What is your guitar tuned to?

[Paris16273212]

@Frederick73 do you need a capo?

[carpoman]

dude, you're getting me into jazz. this is gonna make me a much better guitar player. thanks.

[Pipinqua]

What tuning od u use ??

[71GeorgiaBoy]

Just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate you taking the time to share your talents with us. Amy was my favorite artist and there's not enough of her being played by others. I requested some songs from Marty S. and never got a response?? There are so many songs of her's that I would love to learn... this is a fantastic start! you made my day brother!!

[JayBoogie950]

Learning guitar as of this video... today... now

[rewers6]

how the fuck i havn't heard this song yet? what cd is it from?

[somesunnytime]

Returning to bad-ass jazzy amy after a little while -times help so- and find your video. Damn good way to play it! And you play it great... I obviously don't have your rythm/right-hand skills but do my best. Anyway, I draw on past comments to add but another hagiographic contribution: good job and nice to share it! Thanks :)

[bettygoot]

this is amazing, thanks a million!

[ermcy03]

I would love to sing the song with such a good player like you! you'r awesome!

[Frederick73]

Fair enough and thanks. You do realize this is free, without ads, right? There are many paid guitar lesson sites and music school programs that may provide more of what you are looking for. I don't claim to be an expert, I am mostly self taught, but I am old enough to remember learning guitar before the internet - no tab sites, no youtube just a guitar and your ear. You'd be lucky if you found a friend who knew the song so that you could learn it faster. (end old man rant) - Cheers!

[doulikeamericanmusic]

all the chords sound great, sound exactly like the song...but i don't think you should be teaching instructional videos when you don't play correctly yourself...not everyone has big hands and i think it would be more helpful to teach the correct chords and correct finger placement of the chords.

[elfhermie]

@doulikeamericanmusic There's no "right" way to place your fingers. You do what's comfortable for YOU.

[doulikeamericanmusic]

@elfhermie of course theres a correct way. why do you think people pay so much for guitar lessons....to be taught the correct way, that's why.

[Tranquilize06]

i love that song :D

[Kitti619]

exactly what i was looking for!!!!

[Khriztie87]

I appreciate so much your lessons. But PLEASE post an instrumental.. for us vocalists. I would love it!! I cant sing with you givin the lessons, PLEASE.

:(

[PixieVeela]

Hello! Thank you very much for this very helpful video, I loved it very much. Can you please make an instrumental version of the whole song? 

[Leigh388Avery]

you play this veryyyy well...but you need to tell people if theres a capo on and let us know what frets your playing at because i cant see exactly where your fingers are placed very well

[frelvie]

hi there. great video and nice sound of your guitar. a single thing though: at the end of the b-section, i think it's Db 7add13 with the 5th in bass (x 11 9 10 11 x), instead of the Db minor7. hope i'm right. cheers ;)

[t0kin420uk]

totally awesome dude, I'm learning this right now - all thanks to you!

[siddyx]

You just rekindled my interest in the guitar after getting very bored . Thank you very much!

[Frederick73]

@siddyx I know the feeling all too well - glad I could help ~ Thanks!

[TheQueenaby]

[italianjournalist]

[italianjournalist]

[koolpeep90]

[astaire2012]

omg!!!! dude you are the best! thank you so much for posting this, i was having lots of trouble picking out the song, but you made it so so simple :) thanks you are a great guitar player too...

[chinorimach]

I cant play the chords u play in my guitar. Is ur tuning different from the regular ones?

[astaire2012]

no im sure hes pretty spot on, it sound good on my standard tuned guitar, maybe its your fingering...

[Yulix17]

hello! nice... why don't you play the whole song without teaching others how to do it so others like me could sing along? that would be of so much help. thanks

[MsSupremeQueen]

you play this well...i dont kno if you've seen the other videos but there not nearly as good as yours!

[Frederick73]

Hey - thanks! I'll try to post some new stuff soon. Been too busy between work and school lately.

[ThugProductions]

hey man would just like to let you know..im going live on the radio on wednesday with this girl that has just been discovered...shes a close friend and begged me to play this song...wouldn't have been done without this precise video.

you are the type of guy that makes learning a guitar song super quick for those that are skilled/need help with a quick song / for those beginners. Thank you x100 and keep them coming! So Appreciated! I'll send you a link after its live!

[Frederick73]

wow - thanks! I appreciate the kind words. Please send me a link - I'd love to check it out.

[tubepaint]

brilliant! loved the easy explanation and chord bubbles! maybe a bit hard to see the chords for begginers but they could look them up like i did. love the jazz stuff, sounds so cool and layed back. keep it up

[millertron1]

Just brilliant! So many tone deafs out there tabbing and teaching... Absolutely spot on!

[Frederick73]

Thanks much! I try hard to get the right chords - I agree, there's a lot of bad lessons out there. Glad you liked it - thanks for the comment.

[Kandio1]

Would you please write down how the chords are played, all sites seem to give me other ones than you play

[minesdecarli]

lovin it!!!! and like it because of the jzzy chords! already know them but amazing song to use them!1

[throwerigo]

Soul to soul: Many thanks !!!!

[cacoaguiar]

Olá Frederick, perfeita a aula!

[oledirtybrien]

[beanmartian]

Great Lesson Frederick Very clear and concise. The chord names on the screen are v helpful also. Thankyou for taking the time to make and post this. Cheers.

[OcNBerlin]

if u would play the hole song only with th guitar u would male me really happy.

please

[siobhan4620]

Hello, your lesson is wonderful. Would it be possible to tab the chords - not traditionally - but tell me for each chord that you play in the song, what string you are plucking and in what fret? I can send you my email address; I would really appreciate this. Phenomenal guitar playing.

[MontanaBoysClub]

u use a capo?

[jjbeggs]

do u see a capo?

[friday61]

thank u so much!!!!!!!

[ClaudiaParks]

this is amazing, thank u so much!

[mantabear0]

[emroo26]

[thekeyofg]

[jacmas]

Can you please... please... tab those chords out for me? i'll send you a message with my email in it... if you could do that for "what it is" also... that would be HIGHLY appreciated :) i love Amy, i have alot of her singles and her first and second cds on 180 grain vinyl lol... but if you could, thanks alot, ttyl

[unaccy]

[beeeiiin]

Tu salvaste mi vida...

[DreamGirl1188]

you've saved my life...

[diegoauron]

very good video.

but could you help me with the chords?

giving the tabs like

G 320033

A x02220

like this :P I guess this would not only help me. but everybody learning this version :D

thx

Diego

[Blueeyes57]

Thanks very much! I'm gonne use it when I play with my best friend, the singer of our band! Keep up the good work!

[Frederick73]

You welcome, Glad you found it helpful.

[Frederick73]

Lol - thanks. Don't give up, just try something a bit more basic to start. If you like winehouse, go for my lesson on "stronger than me" first. Much easier tune for an aspiring guitarist! Good Luck.

[tttsang777]

hey i'm having trouble finding the chord Gb7..can you please give me the tabs for it f you can

much thx

god bless

[Frederick73]

Sure - I guess that's a bit of a cheater chord anyway..sorry for the confusion.

5th string, 9th fret

4th string, 8th fret

3rd string, 9th fret

(is what I am playng) - cheers!

[fresshmint]

thank you for thinking about this song looked everywhere! , how about yo do over the rainbow? :D

[Frederick73]

Yeah, maybe..which version? I like the guitar arrangement on the Eva Cassidy one.. is that the one you're talking about or did Amy do a version? I also have a jazzed up arrangement, but it's not complete. Let me know. Dave

[kate87303]

hey what tuning is this, mine is standard and it dosent sound rite =\

[Frederick73]

Hey there, sorry you're having troubles.. are you using a digital tuner? If so, make sure you are at 440Hz which is standard in the US. If you are tuning to a different frequency it will sound terribly out of tune. If you are tuning your guitar by ear, I would strongly suggest getting an inexpensive battery powered guitar tuner. I use a Korg Chromatic Tuner model CA-30 and I love it.

Hope that helps - Dave

[kate87303]

really? hmm, im not sure your guitar just seems higher, i dont think im out of tune everything else sounds great. do you have a capo on?

[Frederick73]

strange - I am not using a capo. I am tuned using my electronic tuner in 440 hz. Sounds right when I play it here with the video and with the recording. IDK - I have not heard any other comments like this so far, I know it's not the answer you were looking for, perhaps you can retune a bit to compensate - sorry.

[medaan]

FUCKING LOVE U!
