[Lolwutty]

Ahaha so cute @1:05 :3 nice tutorial imma try this out now!

[DanielleCelesteMusic]

every time i've tried to play this, my second string always breaks when i try to tune it up to a G :(

[cristinababos]

@DanielleCelesteMusic you have to turn it DOWN to G!!

[DanielleCelesteMusic]

@cristinababos well now i feel stupid! THANKYOU.

[cristinababos]

@DanielleCelesteMusic Well, you know now how to tune it correctly. Don't worry, we all make mistakes! :)

[ukulelechic]

@DanielleCelesteMusic maybe cause you tune it DOWN to a g. just a guess =)

[Airbear12321]

can you do one for your harder songs?

[Starrgirl97]

Could you possibly make a video tutorial for the piano notes played on this song?

[BrianGeeChacko]

Hi...Kina, i think its really sweet that ur teaching the song with the notes

[Geckarbo]

[Iertjuh27]

is there anyway you or anyone else can tell me how to play the piano part. I really want to do this for a schoolproject, but I really love the piano part in it so It'd be really nice if theres some place I can get the sheet music or a tutorial :)

[squeakysquiddles]

AHH!! i have NEVER been able to play a real song before i've tried so many but i get frustrated and quit but you are amazing and somehow taught me this one! WOW i love you and your music!! [[:

[goodwilltx]

How do you tune it down? Do you tune it with the capo on? If so, what fret do you hold down to match the g 3rd string so you can tune it to it, if any at all.

[cgruu]

kiss from portugal =)

[focuzzfocuzz]

[livelovelaugh1210]

Thats extremely sweet of you Im really excited to see how it turns out =D To keep this somewhat short haha, youre absolutely wonderful Kina and I am SO STOKED to meet you next month!! Hope youre having an incredible week ^_^

[windwispir]

[IsaacMaganaMusic]

It's kinda weird but that's how it goes!

And then you can just go crazy! and explode! xD

I LOVE YOU!

[TheShockito]

you are adorable! ii woould learn how to play the guitar with you as my teacher even i dont have any skills on it becouse i am an illustrator.

Take care kina

[BrittanyKing09]

i love this... very creative!! how do you come up with it????

[chazchick696]

i'm confused, when down strumming are we supposed to strum all of the strings? I'm just learning guitar, so i have no clue what i'm doing.

[Outie1179]

I learned it :D!

[xXxEm0PaNdAxXx]

would you PLEASE do stay just a little?

[SummerDayz313]

Thank you soo much for all of your tutorials!!! your songs are absolutely amazing.

[gabbyh216]

the strumming pattern is really creative, i love it :) it's pretty hard to sing to though :P that's the problem i'm coming to.

[Ilikechicken68]

just keep practicing n you will eventually get it it happens to me all the time wen i learn a new song

[SteffiElsa]

i just tried tuning the A string to a G and it broke..... :(

[Nicshooter]

that's becoz you tightened the string, it should be loosen.

[joshfarol]

you wanna tune it first without the capo..that might have been the problem?

[junior1550]

[cibomatto47]

[bmu1lins5]

that is a beautiful guitar =)

[toupilo]

szorry i haven't understood what is the tunning of the guitar?

[himosonnisaatana]

you should have the normal eadgbe -tuning and then play the third thinnest and the second thickest string together and tune the second thickest (would be "a" at that moment into a "g" according to the sound of the thinner g) hope it helped.

love your videos girl! :)

[themaisinator]

ok so her poster she showed? i had a dream last night and the last thing i remember seeing before waking up is a frame like the one on the poster with the black drippy heart in it! and so in study hall today i got on my computer and drew it in blue :) CREEPY! i saw that thing in my dream before i even discovered kina grannis! (creepy alien music) sorry i just had to share that. :)

I just stumbled on your material a few days ago while looking up 'Sukiyaki.' I just wanted to say I love your Goldfish song and the music underneath your 'Apology' video. And I loved this lesson video. You have a very sweet and sincere personality. You're very talented too. (how'd you meet David Choi?)

[dadundunch]

i love how you always sing with your whole heart even in tutorials--and when you're singing in fast-forward :D sweet guitar :)

thank you thank you thank you thank you!

God bless you Kina!

[leotigerman86]

Nice of you to share your room with us. After watching this vid...I feel that you should get a mini camcorder so you don't have to lug the computer all over when doing vids like this. Of course, it's an extra novelty that you probably won't get yourself, but maybe a group of your fans might pool together some cash for one....maybe....

[KacelaJ]

Thank you for sharing some of your very talented life with us :)

[xiztence]

you're like the cutest ever :P very talented :)

[SimoneUzumaki]

[eyeojo]
