[jimmy2sticks]

Really great, man. The Fadd9 filled in a nice nuance that I'd been missing just playing a regular F. Thanks for the lesson.

[nebukanezer73]

Thanks for a great lesson :-) Recorded it on my daughter's child-guitar - check it out :-)

[gazwood08]

[verandahs01]

another fantastic lesson, thanks justin

[d10ny29]

i clicked like right b4 the video starts.. coz u'r awesome..

[MrWollocks]

the best

[stevieoha]

Do you have any exercises for singing and playing Justin?. I can play and I can sing (I think anyway) but not sing and play lol.

[yuki13izumi]

@stevieoha yeah me too I go off rythem but still the chords are right but I swallow some of the lyrics as well it ends up really really infinty crappy! plz give some of the exercises if u have! :(

[11thhourreprieve]

@stevieoha vocalising is second nature, what you need to do is get your guitar playing to be second nature too. When they're both second nature they will happen together nicely. get a print out of the lyrics and chords and play along to a recording. reduce your vocals to a hum, reduce them to only humming on chord changes if u need to. play over and over, then sing the word on the chord changes only. build up to humming more then singing more. it will come,do songs with simpler strum patterns

[shiven171285]

heyyyyy JUSTIN , i'm doin dis song , seein ur lesson , ur fuckinnnn amazing tutor man !!!

hats offfffffff to u dude !!

[robbiebabysham]

i think it sounds good if you use ur little finger to hit the 3 fret on the 1st string on the last few strums of the a-minor

[slippyslot]

great post... give his web site a hit, ull love it. He started me off on the right foot......

[baxter22able]

thanks Justin great tutorial. How about putting one together for Richard Ashcroft Check the Meaning? another fantastic song and chord structure...

[guitarkidmartin]

Haha im better off G, :D awesome lesson! :)

[TheHelder1976]

Thank you, you are an amazing teacher, but this song is extremilly difficult for me, im kind of in the stone age of guitar players, and not even with a excelent teacher like you, i can get it. Sory for my inglish bacause im Portuguese :{P.

[ploopyism]

I'm better off G.....

Profound bruv. Profound.

[thegriggspaul]

g then i'm going to c again..brill..

[RuairiOBrien]

10 out of 10...

[PeterABryan]

Nice job Justin, not just on this piece but throughout your site; I just wanted to thank you for putting this together. I hope you get the break you deserve! You probably have more subscribers than Tasmania has residents, don't you?

Good luck to you and thanks again!

[Strijkspray]

''Now the drugs don't E-minor'' haha, that cracked me up somehow =P It just sounded so funny. Very good lesson Justin, tx very much :) Had some troubles with the chords at first, never played those chords before, but i'm getting the hang of it :) Really beautiful song, thanks!

[Chicaprsiosa]

Wow, you're a great teacher! Even though im totally deaf i think i will get this one:)

[TommyMcG80]

'im gunna ashooome'

hahaha

[BDeiste]

Thanks very well explained. It is a beautiful and simple song.

[tdubble243]

I agree that u should learn strumming patterns by ear, but some don't have that ability, especially when beginning to learn. It can't be that hard to say down, down, up, down, up, down. Just a tip because it is very helpful being told the pattern. Thanks for all the great lessons, I learn from your lessons over every other teacher on youtube. Your the man! Keep it up!

[JayWH72]

Thank you!!! Fantastic lesson!!!

[bigdo87]

nice 1 mate. im now singing me bag out to this. been wantin to learn it for ages and now im there. cheers

[GmacaNo1]

If I was Gay I'd Marry you .., your the best teacher EVA man..Awsome Dude !!!

[dramsig]

[macd007]

[Trapar137]

[jamesdebs21170]

Cheers BABYACHTUNG67. Just giving it a little go again to try and get the pattern just right. The Fadd9 is still a little hit and miss but getting there now.

[madant999]

thanks lads for reply but got wires crossed just this song find it hard with the strummin cheers

[jamesdebs21170]

Justin you are the dogs pods mate.. I'm actually getting this one now, looked at it a while ago , gave it a go, left it for a while but have come back to it which i think is the best way to learn. Not doing to much to soon as for me i just get frustrated with not being able to play it, but after a short break its like riding a bike, picked it up and can play it fairly well now. Cheers and thank you for such an accurate lesson. You are the best teacher on the web mate, keep it up.

[BABYACHTUNG67]

@jamesdebs21170 I AGREE

[madant999]

sound jimbondski am nearly gettin there

[madant999]

i can play it with out singin does anyone find it awkard to sing please reply :¬ )

[jimbondski]

yep I can't play and sing at the same time. But I have been told by others that this comes with time so keep going and you'll get there:-)

[Drats1NHScrew]

i was playing for about 7/8 months before i could do it half decently. stick with it, try "the importance of being idle", really nice to start singing with, easyish too.

[WillimDeCodDd]

well done!!

Old man xD

yes! one of the most better song's from urban hymns

:)

[maning04]

tnx friend! your a real genius!

[montilla2303]

Thanks for share man.

[shoshuj]

Could You do a lesson on The mnaic street preachers song You Love Us or Love's Sweet Exile? it would help alot because tabs are confusing me for those songs

[chusinger]

dude you re a talented man and if you re or want to be a musics teacher you got more that the needed ;) thanks a lot for the helpful and beautiful song!

[ricktee76]

been following your lessons for a few months now and i have to say you are by far the best tutor i've found on youtube, enthusiasm counts for a lot, it your tutor is enjoying it the pupil enjoys too, makes learning much easier. thank you justin and long may it continue

[proofOFLife]

[n1ck02k1]

love the way you teach and play i just starting out and you taught me loads thx man

[lacie320]

BIG!

[GKFC]

Additionally, when going from the first C chord of the verse to the Am you can transition through a Cadd2-B (x20010).

Sounds quite nice.

[paulkehoe5643]

great teacher......a+++++++++

[openclose153]

great lesson justin, my favorite so far

[czijzes]

amazing!

[cazatron88]

Awesome stuff :o)

x x

[superflea72]

Best guitar lesson I've seen on the toob! Very nice work man. :)

[jpkeysor]

great vid has any1 got a good strum pattern i could try because im getting it close but its just not there yet thanks

[pymster123]

Thanks mate! Good down to earth advice/instruction

[whysdarknesssobad]

could anyone direct me to a set of tabs that follows these rules?

[degnanion]

awsome lesson! It's like you're a member of the band!

[marceloatp]

awesome man!

you're the best teacher!

take care!

[GaTuMonTes]

nice work!!!!!!!!

[andilovetheBeatles]

great lesson

I didn't understand how to play the Gsus though can someone explain it to me? where do you put your second finger for example?

thanks

[galaxyblinds]

looks like the second finger is just lifted from the strings for the g sus chord !!

I am only a beginner but thats what it looks like

[jonny3692]

1st finger (index finger) is on 1st fret, b-string.

2nd finger (middle finger) is not used when he plays the gsus 4 chord.

He is resting it in a way that looks like he is using it on a-string,2nd fret, but he says that he mutes the a-string when he also mentions that he is playing open g-and open d-string.

So it is just 3xxx13 (one of several ways to play gsus4).

i dont think it would hurt to use middle finger though,depends wether you find a place to put it where you like the sound of ;).

[jonny3692]

3x0013 that is of course, since as i mentioned, he plays open g and open d.

[herebesmewa]

this lesson is amazing!! i played this at my friends daughter's 21st birthday party and almost got mobbed at the end by all of my friends wives and girlfriends, they wanted to know how i learned it and i told them 'from the best guitarist' on the web JUSTIN SANDERCOE!!!

[Kevlloyd82]

awesome stuff really, simple

[DaSilvaTwinsBarber]

Great teacher, love playing this song now!

[bjouana]

Superb, surely the best teacher ever...

[coccinelle5594]

thank you so much for putting those awesome videos on youtube!!!

justin we love you ;)

i learned to play the guitar on your website..

[thehihatchi]

great guy!!

[iHoady]

For anyone watching who is having difficulty, playing it like this works fine:

C with the pull off, Am with the pull off, EM, F, G, C with the pull off. Just skip the fancy F and G and play regular ones, it still sounds fine.

[georgeedge]

great

[knappy1515]

Quality lesson mate, it's helped alot. Thanks

[RME207]

great lesson mate, thanks alot!!!

[Jakov77]

So awesome when he sings, Now the F add 9 doesn't work xD

[cal16g]

Justin

Excellent lesson, top teacher, thanks very much. This has been a great help to me as I'm just learning

[xcalli]

keep it up justin, i love you! great work

[chriseve41]

[JoergenArvid]

Great show and way to teach.

[LuisIlva18]

Love your lessons Justin! Great singing lol =D

Keep up the great work! cheers

[TimmyMitz01]

good work... got it first time!

[stevestone07]

Great show, i thought my version was ok but yours is awesome! :)

[mjborn01]

you're an amazing player and a great teacher!

[OKIronLung]

jesus that different F is a bit ridiculous, i cant get my thumb over but its a great lesson nontheless

[utube9000]

I've been playing for a while and I'm not comfortable with the thumb either. Just see if you can play it with a bar chord or something close.

[OKIronLung]

i just play it the way he says but i mute the bottom 2 strings, ive watched richard ashcroft play it live and i think thats how he plays it anyway, he certainly doesnt use the thumb live.

[gaatee]

Your a GREAT player':)

[nathanpresleybrodie]

Justin your champion. thanks AGAIN for another great useful lesson :)

[jpbackhouse]

I've been trying to play this for months and never got the strumming right till I saw this. Great instruction, as with your other stuff. Shame about the singing...but you can't have everything lol.

[TiraCyrin]

Thanks heaps J. Would love to do the cover for this song too ;-)

[supertait]

Excellent work Justin, your help has been immeasurable to me. Thanks

[lucagentile]

[happyhouse22]

I know that you disagree but the strumming pattern should be highlighted and it should be done very slowly so we cn see. great lessons though - very friendly way of teaching.

Please make a donation to hi site if we all donate a dollar... it's not as though he doesn't deserve it!
