What kind of pick would we be using for this type of playing. My playing ends up much more aggressive, would a more flexible pick be a better fit?
Thank you.
Fantastic! Thank you! ????
Im gonna learn this song, i am norwegian afterall!
Still a great lesson after 8 yrs
Great job
my fat fingers keep muting the G string when I put my pinky on the D string
oops! silly me. I forgot I had tuned to DADGAD. no wonder I was a bit confused on the fingering.
Thank you so much for just "showing us the chords". For guys like myself and others here, that's all we need when we're tasked with learning a cover quickly and don't have time and energy to sit and pore over the source material. THANK YOU! I'm eyeing one of those shirts…….
Played slowly, solo like this, it sounds like Irish folk music. Beautiful, no matter what.
Amazing
"You have enriched my life with your lessons."
I once had a girl
Or should I say she once had me
She showed me her room
Isn't it good Norwegian wood?
She asked me to stay
And she told me to sit anywhere
So I looked around
And I noticed there wasn't a chair
I sat on a rug biding my time
Drinking her wine
We talked until two and then she said
"It's time for bed"
She told me she worked
In the morning and started to laugh
I told her I didn't
And crawled off to sleep in the bath
And when I awoke I was alone
This bird had flown
So I lit a fire
Isn't it good Norwegian wood?
I descend on the Dm, I think it sounds Beatle-ish
I don't know where you got the quote that Lennon was angry. There's a version of the recording of this song where you hear the lead up to the intro and Lennon has to do it three times because he can't get it right. You can hear him say calmly, "I cannot do it. I cannot do it".
Fantastic acoustic guitar version, one of the best.
5:19
It's
B d b a I thought didn't think there was a c in that bass line idk
Thanks Andy …your awesome
Cool !
Andy, been playing this one for years so haven’t looked this up on your channel before. Gratifyingly by some miracle my version is near identical to yours. One trick I do differently is to turn the capo upside down and put it over 5 strings only, leaving the low E string free. This gives the effect of dropped D tuning but in the key of E. A great trick for quite a few songs. You can then choose to let the low E ring at appropriate times which adds an extra dimension when singing along. I know it’s not as per the recording and we are so grateful for you taking the trouble to get all the songs down perfectly. Just thought some of your viewers might like this. Have a great Christmas.
There are rumors that the original title was "I know she would" but to get around the British censor it was changed
Thanks for playing it straight for me I always wanted to play this but everybody puts their own interpretation drop D tuning all this fancy stuff that sounds like Lucy in the sky with diamonds thanks for showing me how to play it simple and clean like lemon did it you’re really great
Beautiful playing! Great Sound!
Great Lennon story
Love your lessons, you have a great feel and insight into these iconic songs.
I know this is an older video of yours but I just wanted to let you know how amazing you are at making these lessons ! Thanks for helping me out.
An excellent song to improve your playing using so many different techniques. As a beginning/intermediate, getting this song down was such a boost for me. Just an awesome sense of accomplishment. I couldn't have done it without you.
Hi, I was just wondering whenever I do downstrokes or any stroke the melody seems to be drowned out by the strumming, any ideas?
I hate my pinkey right now
I was using woodprix instructions to make it and I did it already 🙂
Thank you for this. Do you have the tabs for it?
It sounds like when you add the strumming, the melody itself is also , in places ,played on 2 strings. Is this correct?
Filete mi huacho…jajajjaja
What guitar are you using?
Merci !
I have been playing guitar for 40 + years. These are the best guitar lessons I have ever seen from an absolute master of the art. The very fact he doesn't show his face and is always pointing out he only attempting to show you a representation of his take on a song proves he is natural educator and a genuinely nice person. My sons both in university also use your lessons to improve their playing. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for your efforts to share your knowledge.
Today someone told me he thinks it sounds better on the last measure of verse (eg "she once had me) by strumming a C shape with A3, open G, A2, then back to D shape. After looking at this lesson again, I think it's much easier, and sounds perfect, by doing as shown here: keeping the D shape throughout, and plucking A3, open G, A2, and then D shape.
Thank you teacher!
Magnífico maestro,extraordinario gracias por dar talento tan éxquisito de la música…Felicitaciones y que tengas esa energia gratis para entregarlos gracias amigo mis bendiciones para ti y los de tú equipo.Saludos desde Chile .Aún no entiendo tu idioma per entiendo la música.
This is the only lesson you ever need for this song. Other people who do online tutorials take notes from this guy.
My fingers are too short -_-
