[BieberLove78]

Ive watched others they arent good as urs! I like to sit outside and ply

[BieberLove78]

Theres a way u can flip it around

[kcountrygirl4873]

how long have you been playing

[michellesings89]

@kcountrygirl4873 This video is older, but I've been playing for over 6 years now. :)

[kcountrygirl4873]

which of your tutorial is the easiest!! like seriously I've never played but want to try one of yours hope fully the easiest

[michellesings89]

@kcountrygirl4873 I would say "Permanent Marker" by Taylor Swift is the easiest song to play because there are only 3 chords and it's very repetitive. :)

[kcountrygirl4873]

I love when people like you that have lots of people watch and comment on there videos still care enough to reply back to people and watch there videos

[michellesings89]

@kcountrygirl4873 I LOVE replying back!!! Checking my mail is FUN for me!!! Plus, it's the least I can do to thank you for watching! :)

[kcountrygirl4873]

do you play right handed and left handed? Which is this

[michellesings89]

@kcountrygirl4873 I play right-handed, but the image flips for some reason because it's recorded with my web cam.

[AllThatStuff96]

My first thought: Oh my gosh. She's gorgeous. Good tutorial. :)

[michellesings89]

[michellesings89]

@BroganSasha Wow! Thank you so much!!! :)

[BroganSasha]

[michellesings89]

@BroganSasha Thank you so much!!! It's DDDDU for each chord. :)

[michellesings89]

[ByranAdams]

[michellesings89]

@ByranAdams I'm not actually, sorry to ruin your surprise. Haha! The image is just flipped for some odd reason.

[ByranAdams]

@michellesings89 : lol! i mean thats crazy!!

[ByranAdams]

Respond to this video... nyway thnx..i learned a nyc startup from ya!

[PaigieePantss]

haha im trying to play this on an electric guitar.

[michellesings89]

@PaigieePantss Nice!!! :)

[Love5987]

it seems really easy i just got my guitar today i havent had any lessons yet but i tried to play this...i failed but its seems easy i just cant get the chords correct :(

[michellesings89]

@Love5987 Don't worry about the song. Just practice making the chords first. You have to learn them first and be comfortable transitioning between them before you can play the song. Just practice moving back and forth between two of the chords and then try another two and so on. :)

[brianababic04]

so can you just keep doing down? like just D D D D

or do you have to go D D D D U

[michellesings89]

@brianababic04 DDDDU :)

[zarinaramos]

@michellesings89 tnks

[KleefHandjes]

You've made this a thousand times easier! You should become a guitar teacher.

[KleefHandjes]

@michellesings89 Cool! So for how long do you play guitar now?

[michellesings89]

@KleefHandjes I've been playing guitar for a little over 6 years now. :)

[KleefHandjes]

@michellesings89 Great! I play it for over 2 years now so haha that's not really long.

[michellesings89]

@KleefHandjes That's still a good little while. :)

[AnnedTaylorfan]

@michellesings89 Wow! i started playing start of this year. Sorry if this is awkward....but how old are you?

[michellesings89]

[blackrose538]

@michellesings89 if I don't need to sing ;-) I'm a bad singer :) I can think about it, when I'm able to play it :)

[michellesings89]

@blackrose538 You don't have to sing, but it you want to, go ahead! :)

[blackrose538]

@blackrose538 gosh no! I'll spare the world ;) I don't like my voice when recorded, that's why I said I can't sing :) Gotta find someone with a nice camera first ;-)

[michellesings89]

@blackrose538 Hahaha!!! Ok. But I'm still excited to see it! Let me know when ya post it. :)

[blackrose538]

@michellesings89 I will :)

[RebaRocks14]

PLEASE can u do a tutorial on "I Cross My Heart" by George Strait for me?? Please make it easy. I'm still a beginner on the guitar.

[kapitanteng]

ou na..

dami mong satsat..

[angeshyg2]

pls.. answer me.. what is your strumming pattern?

[michellesings89]

@angeshyg2 DDDD U for each chord. :)

[maho211]

Love the video! Sorry if I'm bothering you with all the questions. I know this song doesn't have any barre chords, but I'm a beginner and I think they are really hard. Do you have any tips on barre chords? Thanks so much!!!

[michellesings89]

@maho211 Thank you! You're not bothering me. I'm hear to help you. If you're having trouble with bar chords, try moving your wrist up and forward a bit to help you reach the strings. Let me know if this helps. :)

[maho211]

@michellesings89 Thanks! This does help a lot!! :)

[michellesings89]

@maho211 You're welcome. :)

[maho211]

Your verison sounds really pretty, but I have another verison of this song. It's basically the same thing, but a little different. You use the same chords, but on the D chord, you strum the root string (D) twice. Then on all of the other chords you strum the root string 4 times ( D U D U ). Where do learn you tutorials from? Do you play by ear or get it from a book or music sheet??

[michellesings89]

@maho211 Thank you! Your version sounds really cool too. I can play by ear, but sometimes I look up the chords. :)

[maho211]

@michellesings89 Thanks a lot! I think it's amazing that you can play by ear. You have an amazing talent. I'm sure everybody that watches your videos can agree. :)

[michellesings89]

@maho211 You're welcome! And thank you so much! :)

[hannahcia]

sorry its D,Em,G and A

[hannahcia]

,'hi you are so great, . It seems that your the second Taylor Swift,. I have a question,! The chords are, D,Em7,A,and a G ,and the strumming pattern for each chords is D D D D U? Am I right?

[michellesings89]

@hannahcia Aw, thank you! I see you corrected the chords in your newer comment. Yes, it D, Em, G, A. And you have the strumming correct. :)

[rx3gundam]

Nice... It's really complete...

Although I had to use the notepad from time to time... during the end of the chorus and the bridge...

Use the description box more...

How about putting up the chords there? You say the chords before playing it but... sadly I couldn't memorize it within a few seconds or use the annotations so we can see the chords without panning off your video?

thanks a lot though. :D

Nice voice too.

[michellesings89]

@rx3gundam Thank you so much!!! I appreciate your suggestions. This was one of my first few tutorials. I have progressed since then. Haha! Now I always post the chords and strumming patterns on screen as I play them. I will have to go back and update these with annotations soon. Thank you! And you're welcome! :D

[rx3gundam]

@michellesings89

Well, aren't you a happy person... :D

[Wolke20007]

Is it down down up with the right hand or what ? ;S

[michellesings89]

@Wolke20007 D D D D U for each chord. :)

[angeshyg2]

Really?

[Gianne1201999]

your videos are so helpful

[michellesings89]

@Gianne1201999 Yay! I'm glad! :D

[ForeverTswift]
