Fast Car - Tracy Chapman (Easy Songs Beginner Guitar Lesson ST-616) How to play

[wussell1]

He's not as good as martyswarts or how ever you spell it :S

[88bluesboy]

@wussell1 bull shit. they are both good hard to compare but He does not give up any ground to marty. check out his under the bridge lesson by rhcp. good guitarist just as good if not better than marty

[tapalipo]

[ktroyl]

great job, one of my favorite all time songs

[yujiboy2003]

[cosmiblue1027]

I like how he seemed so moved by the song at the end of the demonstration, and had to come back from that "place" to start the tutorial :)

[XsoEmiXD]

DUDUDD ?

[Maoraw]

Thanks for doing it without capo :D haven't bought one yet so this was just what was needed! Thanks so much, very thoughtful of you :)

[kaypeeization]

And I thought it took me awhile to learn to sing and strum at the same time...this is gonna take forever...will be worth it tho :)

[alrhazer]

I learned how to play the song of THE CALLING "wherever you will go" when I found his lesson!

[Emilieellis95]

ur face makes up your voice ;)

[xgodzify]

Get a home!

[typicalgemini]

"hi guys justin here"

[MyFourthFret]

Holy! ......your accent took me by surprise

[RainDrop551]

[94JackJohnson]

[blauckz7zappa]

do you have a chord chart for the chorus?

[CiseDj]

I thought he said it was a crappy tune at the end.. lol

[Ch4zuk4]

I would buy your song. I heard Chapman did cover this?

[trotzdem0records]

Thank you so much..you spend so much time for recording this videos and teach people for free. This is great!! Thank you!!!

[joehilditch1]

nicley done man

[musicinthemoment]

you have a talent for teaching! You made the lesson fun and enjoyable, but more importantly, easy to follow along. I just started teaching myself guitar and you are very clear and helpful in teaching this song for guitarists at all levels. Thanks and keep up the good work!

[wnocker]

great lesson.



[JamesRoche1]

im really confused with what strings to pick :Swell its just on the first C when the finger goes off, any ideas?

[JamesRoche1]

im really confused with what strings to pick :S

[MissSophhh]

DUDE!! Your like, the best teacher ever! Thankyou;'),.. Oh, and I like your hat;D<3

[needhurry]

GREAT VIDEO MATE, BUT I PRE-FAIR RIGHT HAND FINGERING CAUSE MY LEFT HAND FINGERS ON THE TIPS ARE PRETTY SOLID THROUGH PLAYIN GUITAR BUT THE GIRLS LIKE THE RIGHT HAND FINGERING CAUSE THE FINGER TIPS ARE SOFTER :) HOPE TO SEE SOME MORE GREAT VIDEOS FROM YOU

[fuelsmell]

greetings from spain

[sbh123yt]

Thank you Justin. Even an average player like me can play this song thanks to you.

[dandoloneful]

[pattyrourou]

[koolkies3]

[happylarry]

So it's: D U D UDD

C G Emin D C Emin D C Emin C D

Just in case anyone wants to hear play but can't be bothered to keep rewinding it to practise

[ConfusionIntrusionX]

back to the riff again hahaha

[KikoBG12]

you are the 2nd Chapman

[bassieeee7]

Hey Justin, it´s pretty funny. I memorize the chords of the chorus easier now that I have your voice in my head saying ¨C someone, D someone¨ haha.. don´t know if it´s intended but it´s very helpfull for memorizing the chords ;)

[RicardoEstevesMusic]

"Back to the riff again"

[MovieMakerInTheMakin]

NICE HAT DUDE! :D

[1foreverbe]

your amazing. thanks for this video it really helped .x

[Callyan]

Justin, ur a star ..

thanks for posting the video, it really helps

[LebosiEkalf]

I am confused...does each chord in the chorus get a full down, up, down, up, down, down strum set?  It seems like you change chords within some of the strum sets. When is this supposed to happen?

[leopardgeckoboy]

I can't quite figure out your accent... I'm hearing some Australian, South African and some English!! Awesome video!!

[wouthogie]

I could remember my teacher saying that learning to play guitar with the help of 'internet teachers' was ridiculous haha! Justin just proved that it isn't, credits to you you're certainly the best (and most relaxed) teacher I've ever seen!

[egnartify]

its easy song

! nice

[saaanchyy]

[Sixstringpuller9]

Justin Thank you for showing your fans to play this song you are a gifted person to teach not all can thank you sir

[lucian4384]

Thank You Justin for showing me how to play Fast Car. It may not be a world class voice but it is far from unpleasant. What you do have that is world class is your heart, it is gold. You are your own time and teaching a bum like me to play a great song, at no charge. Again Thank You Justin.

[imsokoel]

Nice lesson! And you sing nice :D

[yo9spk]

the tone is too high for your voice but it's better than other videos

[gunsnrosescovers]

Love It

[horsetoni]

you're such a cutie! thankyou for this! :) xx

[TheWinFailure]

You are the best man! Thanks!

[naxitoo19]

you are the first internet guy with I´ve been able to learn a hole song... thanks dude xD

[naxitoo19]

you are the first internet guy with I´ve been able to learn a hole song... thanks dude xD

[BlueBeanTV]

"D someone, C someone" so funny!

[nashvilleoutlaw]

More people should make videos like this. play the song first so the watcher can see if the way you do it sounds right. There are so many how to videos on here where they spend 5-6 minutes showing how to play a song. Then when they play its all off notes and bad cords.

[foostafoom]

god i love this song

[Stoneacoustic]

thanks a lot man your good

[lonestar7703]

Thank You. You are a very generous and talented person.

[MrHamham19]

THANK YOU A LOT!... SO NICE TEACHING..

[forreal93]

[pal5484]

As always you are the best Justin!

[naytch2003]

Awesome lessons Justin;-)

[kenboonie]

Me like a lot. Cheers and happy Crimbo man.

[MrBuc128]

This should be played with a capo on 2 as it is on the recording

[kenboonie]

@MrBuc128 He mentions that at the start.

[MrBuc128]

@kenboonie Got ya I just heard him say that .I saw it without a capo and made an assumption.We all know what happens when we assume.

[kenboonie]

@MrBuc128 .Cool. I know all about making assumptions...can be dangerous.

[crazyfermer1988]

cheers!!!

great lesson!

[Arcas1990]

Love your point of view!

Best online teacher evah ^^

[ryank1esko]

[saltwaterloveee]

[kenshin3002]

[joeakapins]

Hi justin, i cant seem to find any tabs on your website anymore for all the songs u have listed, do i need to have an account or?

Joe

[houssam1997]

everybody saying good things aboub you so i subscribed^^

[tuskseventyeight]

you made me move my hands, thanks a lot

[0388gonz]

your a great teacher 2 thumbs up XD

[TheMole1979]

Dude... fantastic.

[misscassandra12]

I love this, so glad I discovered you

[sundoeco]

fantastic video. im a begginer and the only problem im having is with the changing of chords in time. too slow at the moment. specially from last chord back to the beggining C chord when picking. any advice or tips in changing chords quicker. ors it just practice? any tips will be helpful. cheers

[newdaddy33]

I had a bit of trouble with that at first but discovered for me it was easier to not hold the C chord, but to take your "birdie" and ring finger and hold them both on the 3rd fret of the two thickest strings. It made the transitions easier and faster. Less movement. P.S. Thank you Justin for these lessons. You, by far, are the best teacher of songs on YouTube.

[Jastababe]

Thank you Justin...and you are right...once I start singing it, my strumming does change..lol

Great job in showing a tutorial

[hockey1131]

thank you! this is the best presented lesson i've seen for any song

Laney from Hawaii

[mylillambs]

Thanks Justin, you have lovelyl smooth voice, and you play nicely. I think its soooo great that you have taken time to put up lessons for all of us who want to have a go. You make difficult sounding songs reachable for someone like me who struggles and are not so naturally talented. Good on you!

[ShirleyNamu]

Excellent lesson - one of my favorite songs.

Almost finished with stage 8 now! Also, just got your album in the mail - wonderful! I really like "I Know?". Would love to see a lesson for that. Eh, maybe save that for the Intermediate DVD series. ;)

[plecttrum]

Real nice interpretation...... singing.

[itzjessicax33]

great teacher, explains every thing so you understand it, great great good job!!!.

[JamDigital]

Best tab of "fast car" I've seen. Have seen great and crap tab and know the difference. This sounds the most accurate. Thanx.
