Honestly this woman is so amazing, I always have trouble with other tutorials. But with her, it's so simple! The way you break down everything into simpler forms and explain every single chord and strumming pattern is amazing and it really helps! Thank you so much, from the bottom of my heart!
This is my 4th song that I have learned from you and I really love your style of teaching and energy. Because of you, I look forward to practicing guitar daily despite taking a 3 year hiatus because I was unmotivated by other videos. Keep up the great work!! 💖
That's so awesome Olivia!! 🎉 Thanks for learning with my videos and I'm really glad you like my teaching style. 🤗 It's so great you came back to guitar after taking a break, and I hope I can continue to excite you about learning more songs! 💕
I started learning how to play guitar about 2 weeks ago and I'm happy to say that this is the first song I can fully play without the guitar sounding like a dying goat
What a fun first song to learn too! 🤗🎸🎶 Congrats on getting the first milestone under your belt, and I can't wait to hear about all the other songs you'll be jamming to soon! 💕 Thanks for watching!
Your channel is soo ridiculously amazing!! No other guitar channel is this easy to follow and learn from! I’m a huge swiftie, and would love to see the song every thing has changed on your list of tutorials!!
This is my first time using this channel but I absolutely love the way she teaches. I think already she is my favourite TH-cam guitar teacher. I like the way she gives clear instructions to skip points in the video at the start, she has a perfect nature where she encourages and compliments in perfect timing where you might be picking something new or trickier up for the first time. The timing is so perfect it could be a live tutorial. Her editing, I could go on but you're great and you really helped me and she's super cute too which doesn't hurt.
Aww thank you so much for this super sweet comment! 🥰 I'm really glad you like my teaching style and thank you so much for noticing the details like the editing! 🙌 It's so validating when I spend a lot of time with the visuals so I appreciate you taking the time to let me know!! 💕
I am learning more songs now than before mostly from your videos. Part of it is, yeah you are prettier than Justin I guess. But the real reason is the structure of your lessons just works for me. I am also learning cool songs that I never planned to before. I really never was into this song but I was watching some of your lessons randomly, and then this song got stuck in my head. I ended up playing the original during the day and then came back to learn it on guitar tonight.
alright been practicing this for about 4 days and with a thumb pick and playing it at literally 50% speed i can actually kind of do it ahahaah . seriously these videos are amazing
Nice!! 🎉 Practice makes progress and soon you'll be playing it full tempo and without missing a strum! 😉 Congrats on working so hard and I hope you'll continue to learn more guitar songs with me! 🎸🎶💕
Your an amazing teacher! Im a young high school student who has a hyperfixation about guitars lmao, my mum wanted to learn how to play and it inspired me to aswell, and i found you, its so simple and easy to understand! Would totally recommend 1000000000000/10!! ❤❤ (Just wanna say YOU were the one who taught me how to play LOL. LOVE TOU FAITHFUL!)
Wow thank you so much for your incredible vote of confidence for my channel! 🥰 I'm really glad these videos have been helping you and super excited to see where this guitar journey takes you! 🫶 Best of luck, and thanks for learning guitar with me! 🎸🎶
I love your tutorials and normally I learn many new songs because of your tutorial, I love the ones to do with fingerpicking as well as strumming. It’s been a while since I haven’t been playing songs u made tutorial of because it repeats a lot and it doesn’t feel much challenging as before. I’m a beginner as well. When you do tutorials of fingerpicking style as well as strumming it is very interesting and challenging and above all fun. I was hoping if you could make tutorial that includes fingerpicking as well as strumming because it helps me be more engaged and encouraged to continue playing guitar because it’s fun and challenging. Thank you ❤️
I know this one has both however I happen to have learnt this one already before 😅. But In general if you could play songs that have nearly equal amount of strumming or picking because it will not make me feel like a lot of repeating whilst playing because I’m not a great singer so when I play songs on guitar I’m pretty much repeating a lot so it gets less encouraging Thank you❤️
Thanks so much for the feedback! I personally prefer picking when I play as well so I totally get where you’re coming from! 🤗 I realized this summer that I don’t have too many super beginner friendly songs though, so I wanted to build up my library a little, which is why you’ll see some simple tutorials going up. But I definitely plan to throw in finger picking every once in a while too! 🎸🎶 Some of my recent videos with picking include amazing grace, death by a thousand cuts, and before you go - so hopefully you can check those out if you like those songs! ❤️
Singing on top of strumming comes down to developing muscle memory in your strumming hand, which is why I started my new Practice With Me strumming series recently! 🙌 It might help you out and I'm always adding new rhythms! 🤗 th-cam.com/play/PLj0QZIx4bc7zNKubK1ZTxdlLbIYpK1qoV.html
i’m still working on getting my guitar 🎸 i’m getting it to help with my depression i really love music so i wanna have music therapy. so i can calm my self down with some music
That’s a fantastic reason for starting up on guitar! 🙌🏼 I can’t tell you how many times in my life I turned to music to deal with stress, anxiety or really intense emotions. 🎸🎶 I hope my beginner series and tutorials can help you get started on your own music journey. 💕
Honey, my fingers don't stretch like that for the chords. I am a SUPER beginner, so I know I'll get used to it eventually. I need to practice a lot before I get comfortable stretching my fingers like that.
This is a really great tutorial💕way better than all the others I could find. Having a lot of trouble with singing and playing at the same time though and I keep messing up. Needs a help
Girl! That was so greattttt !!! I have been tryna learn Riptide for so long but all other tutorials were damn difficult...you got a beautiful voice too. And I am pretty sure that the folklore songs tutorials are coming up as you are such a great Swiftie...can you start with Cardigan please?? 😊😊😊😊
Haha you guys know me so well!! Of COURSE I’ll be doing some songs off folklore! 😉 And thanks for watching! I’m glad you found it helpful and hope you have fun jamming out to it! 🤗🎸🎶
This is great. Loved it !! Could you please do a tutorial of we are warriors by Avril Lavigne... Coz that's a song I really wanna play on the guitar dedicating to everyone going through the hard time right now 🗝️😊
The strings that you should strum/not strum are indicated in the chord charts that are on screen. 👍 If you need help with how to read them, I cover that in my beginner series! 🙌 th-cam.com/video/10g9Kcikdc0/w-d-xo.html
Yes! This is my Martin 000-15M and I just got it about a month ago! I absolutely loveeeee it and have an unboxing and first impressions on my channel if you’re interested! 🤗❤️
Amazing tutorial, but are you using a steel string or nylon string? It sounds like steel but I thought the neck was too thick, correct me if I'm wrong please
Hi Ellen, I'm one of your subscribers and I have to say I love this song! I'm learning guitar and I thought what better song to learn than this, but I find that whenever I play the chords, the strings buzz and the chords sound wrong. I checked to make sure my guitar was tuned, I even made sure I was putting the right finger pressure, and I'm aware that it's one of the factors that causes buzzing. I'm just not sure why it sounds like this. I'll be honest I'm a bit discouraged by this fact, everything seems so easy when you play it but it sounds weird when I play it. It's been happening for a while now, and it's pretty annoying because every time I try to play something, It sounds out of tune and it buzzes. Would you have an idea of how I could fix this? Thank you sooo much! Zoe
String buzzing can be caused by a lot of things and it's hard to tell without seeing you play in person, but if you're sure the guitar is in tune and you're pressing down on the strings hard enough, it could be because you have too low of action so your strings are hitting the fret wires every time you play anything, or you're strumming too hard and that could be causing buzzing as well. 🤔 If you're sure it's not any of these issues but it still keeps happening, I'd try to take your guitar into a shop and have a tech look it over. Tell them about the buzzing, when it happens, maybe show them how you're playing and they should be able to diagnose the problem. 👍 I hope that helps and hope you'll continue playing after it gets resolved! 🎸
If you have time after doing folklore album tutorial, please also consider Falling Like The Stars by James Arthur or Love Somebody by Lauv. I just think they are beautiful under appreciated acoustic songs
Honestly this woman is so amazing, I always have trouble with other tutorials. But with her, it's so simple! The way you break down everything into simpler forms and explain every single chord and strumming pattern is amazing and it really helps! Thank you so much, from the bottom of my heart!
