Back To December Guitar Tutorial

[syaaameee]

you are awesome :D and nice room :D

[rainbreezew44]

I watch alot of tutorials , but so far you seem to be a little more clear in showing the chords...I've written songs and am determined to play them and I hope some day I can feel secure enough to do covers like you so I can get my songs out there..thanks and God Bless, kim

[TheMoncikM]

OMG ! I really love you ! You're great ! Kisses from Poland ;*

[6835andrea]

I love your guitar tutorials

[Shahbonya]

I cannot watch this video it doesn't work:-(when i reach 12 second it swithes off:-(so pitty

[yellowbunnygirl191]

This really helped me but I have a few questions:

1. How do you do bar chords? Are you supposed to put pressure on the strings?

2. Are there other ways to do the more challenging chords? I'm a beginner and switching my fingers is my problem (yet I can play one full song.....)

Thank you!

[ijeabbb]

you are so cute!!! ><

[cahil123456]

[HellAnger95]

this was awesome but i have a request..can plz write down the chords under the vid in ur next songs?

[HasanKhanDDS]

lol it took a while to realize that you were left handed, and that my D chord was upside down lol

[16princessful]

my fingers are not flexible enough to do any of these chords lol. I need a lot more practice :/

[RandeFreak]

I think it was a little bit hard to find out when it was what, when you cant read it, so i think you shoul have put a part in, where you showed when it was what:-).

[Easter249]

Hey Michelle I have a question. I just changed my guitar strings for the first time and of course they sound new, but they kinda sound strange and when I play the always go out of tune! Is this normal for new guitar strings and will they relax if I play a bit?

[michellesings89]

@Easter249 They will 'relax' after a bit, but make sure they are properly tuned. :)

[MissKida1]

Could you please make a White hoarse tutorial pleeeaaase???

[michellesings89]

@MissKida1 I plan on covering all her songs. :)

[igi0917]

hey, can i ask you a favour? can you like make a MS word document about the chords and their significant strumming patterns, it's kinda hard to catch the strumming patter of this song, so i think it'll help. thanks a lot! :)

[gorgeousmonsterxxx]

I can't play the Bm ... Is there an easy way to do it? Thanks :)

[michellesings89]

@gorgeousmonsterxxx I heard there is a cheat for it, but I don't know how. Try searching around for Bm guitar chord cheats. :)

[TheGeorgiagirl40]

@gorgeousmonsterxxx for short cut to bm I use index on the A string 2nd fret and the middle finger on the G string

2nd fret and put the ring finger on the B string 3rd fret. I hope that helps.

[gorgeousmonsterxxx]

@TheGeorgiagirl40 Thank you! It helped a lot! :)

[maxgabmax]

[michellesings89]

@maxgabmax I already have a "Mine" tutorial up. Feel free to look through my videos. :)

[igi0917]

hey, i got a question, are you really left-handed or the video is mirrored?thanks for the tutorial btw, i'll be studying it up! :) can i make a request?

sparks fly by taylor swift? thank you! :)

[michellesings89]

@igi0917 I play right-handed. The image is just flipped. You're welcome! I already have a "Sparks Fly" tutorial. :)

[kickserve923]

your strum patterns appear a bit differently than u strum

maybe try breaking down the strumming for us :)?

[michellesings89]

The strumming pattern is under the chord letter when I'm playing. It's the D's and U's. My camera doesn't pick up my strumming movements very well. Sorry if that is what is throwing you off. :)

[Foreverzxcc]

Can I request , the story of us - taylor swift ? please :)

[michellesings89]

@Foreverzxcc Sure! :)

[DanMonacoOfficial]

u are a really good teacher ;)

[michellesings89]

@melaniejobe18 You're welcome! :)

[guitarrider1]

Hey, could you do a Phil Collins 'On my way' tutorial. I wouldnt ask but I cant find one anywhere. Thanks.

[saddleclub]

another amazing video =) I do have a question for you. How would you suggest someone who has been playing for a year, but hasn't really mastered bar chords. How do you think I should approach it? Also what type of thing would you recommend to record you guitar with your computer? i've been looking around but I can't find anything =/

[michellesings89]

@saddleclub If you're having trouble with bar chords, try moving your wrist forward to reach the strings. In regards towards recording, the best quality comes from using a midi interface to record. :)

[furlilicious]

my dream is to play the guitar as well as Michelle Arseneau. sooooooo envious! ;p

[furlilicious]

i know you have TONS of requests already, but can you do a tutorial on When I Look at You by miley cyrus? (: please&thanks

[michellesings89]

[michellesings89]

@LOVE2singwithGUITAR You're welcome! And thank you! If the bar chords are hard to reach, try moving your wrist forward a bit. :)

[LOVE2singwithGUITAR]

And well, I will try to move my wrist forward a bit...

[Roseblossom89]

@michellesings89 :) Keep up the good work!

[wimbledimple]

wow this is great Michelle..the strumming pattern is easy..^_^ Although I'm still really practicing with bar chords, it's still hard for me to play those...Thank You for this tutorial ^_^

[michellesings89]

@wimbledimple Thank you! I'm glad that it's helpful. Yeah, them bar chords can be tricky at first, but with some practice, you'll get 'em. ;)

[gracejellyhead]

This is a REALLY good style of tutorial, like AWESOME. You should keep doing these ones with the sturmming pattern and chord coming up as you play. Excellent.

[michellesings89]

@gracejellyhead Thank you so much! I was hoping that would be helpful. I'm glad you like it. :)
