Since my school days - 1987 till later 2010 iv been trying to learn to play. A month back i got inspired to try once more. Got a real nice teacher to explain how to read the major scales and make chords.. Then you come to saying ok what songs can i try along now. La Bamba is my 8 year olds absolute#1. And I found your beautiful video on TH-cam. You have such a lovely easy and warm method to encourage newbies to get over that first step. I am really inspired to learn La Bamba and surprise my son.. cant wait :-)

Wow excellent timing! I taught the chords of this song to my class last week and I told them this week I would show them the riff. Thanks for making this video, I will share with my class!
Very nice. I do like to change the G chord to a G7 after the 1st couple of strums. Kind of gives it that ring. I'm sure Justin is helping thousands of people learn guitar. I cannot think of a better contribution to life except maybe supporting the Liverpool Reds. YNWA!
i am trying to learn this tune but i end up going into quantaramera i think its my old age just trying to learn guitar tunes to relax indoors thanks for your teaching
'La Bamba' is a Mexican folk song (son jarocho) originally from the state of Veracruz.The best known version is the Ritchie Valens' adaptation from 1958.
Super thankful for all your great work here, Justin. Your calm, helpful, encouraging spirit is always a breath of fresh air. I wonder why you play the 6th note in the riff on the D string instead of the G string, as it is in Valens' original recording.
The first song I learned on guitar. Also the thumbnail picture isn't of Richie Valens. That's Lou Diamond Phillips playing richie in the movie. Would be nice to see the actual Richie Valens on there
Google global truth project and click 'The Present" tab if you want to learn the truth about life/death. If everyone sees this text, it will turn the world right-side up
The app is being updated and the new super awesome version will be out soon :) sounds loads better too and has all the new lesson series from the website in it! :) J
@@JustinGuitarSongs that's great to hear thanks.Really enjoying it and the way it teaches you to play songs is enjoyable.I just need to get past the slow versions of them lol
Hello Justin, Thank you so much for all the lessons you do! I really appreciate them. On this video, I've tried following this tab and slowing the video down on TH-cam. When you play this at full speed the first time, I counted 22 notes. When you slow it down and also the tab, I only count 16 notes. Am I missing something? Thank You! Ok, I see now, the C E D F A G is played again, I think.
I could see how hard you had to concentrate to play it badly. Thanks for this song, I like the Jim Croce version , where the lyrics are slightly different. There’s a verse that goes Parra subir el cielo , (For to climb to the sky) Parra subir el cielo ,( si) ? nessicito una escelerra grande ( for to climb to the sky (we) ? Need a big stairway) Etc… ( my Spanish is a bit kaput) but I think the lyrics sound better than the Richie Valans one . Thier both great though , will definitely keep working at this ,

Excellent MAESTRO.

MUY BONITA CANCION EN ROCK AND ROLL HI FROM MEXICO
Awesome videos man. Really helpful and easy to follow.
Brillant how you explain and share your passion for simple song like this one. I first learned it(not right) I was 9!
'La Bamba' is a Mexican folk song (son jarocho) originally from the state of Veracruz.The best known version is the Ritchie Valens' adaptation from 1958.
Wonder what he's saying in Spanish? The English translation?
Hey justin would be awesome if you done a 96 quite bitter beings tutorial😁. Keep up good work. Followed you for years!
Super thankful for all your great work here, Justin. Your calm, helpful, encouraging spirit is always a breath of fresh air.
I wonder why you play the 6th note in the riff on the D string instead of the G string, as it is in Valens' original recording.
Great.. thanks a lot
Justin tries soooooo hard to make mistakes :D - that is so funny!!!
Tutorial molto chiaro bravo
Thanks its easy nice to play i´m a beginner and like a lot how it sounds.
You deserve to have at least 20 million subscribers by now, awesome as always. Thank you
thank u
love it
Learning this because the oilers have a shot at the cup this year
nice lesson once again, jason....
His name is Justin lol
Oops......fat figures......lol
Hi Justin, Great video, thank you. Do you like your box on the amp. speaker emulator. Is it worth the money?
Nice one Justin, great fun to play 🎸 be a great party piece 👍🏻🇬🇧🎸
Framed by Ritchie!! Please!
BUT ITS so good
How did you get that cut on your thumb?
Yay😁
Bradly Cooper Shallow please, please, please!
Hi Justin can you plz teach us 'Love Nwantiti' Riff
Hey Justin,
What about doing Biffy Clyro “Biblical”? Or “Telegraph Road” by Dire Straits?
Cheers mate.
I think your thumbnail shows Lou Diamond Phillips..
What kind of light do you use? I mean to light your face and guitar for shooting your video...?
I just learned this on the beginners course 😂
Yo no soy marinero, soy capitan!
Sorry, but found this straight forward until about the 3:57 mark, and then found the explanation for the next part of the riff somewhat confusing.
Me too when he ends on the "1" that none is not on the TAB sheet but he said the last part ends on the "1" which is the C note of the 5th string....
Muito Legal
The first song I learned on guitar. Also the thumbnail picture isn't of Richie Valens. That's Lou Diamond Phillips playing richie in the movie. Would be nice to see the actual Richie Valens on there
OUCH! Painful!

Ok, I see now, the C E D F A G is played again, I think.
At the beginning you play it fast then slow. You dont finish the riff when you do it slow?
thats carol kay playing guitar on that
How old is that blanket?! 😱😄
I have been playing this song for years...WRONG! Ha Ha!!
;)
Justin I'm having Deja vu what's going on dude?
Jesus Christ died for you so live for him and live
I think last note on the tab is missing
I think the original version had a down tuning
I take that back I think its a 6 string bass
THIS IS SO HARD I CANT GET THE TWO NOTE ONE 😢😢😢😢😢😢
I could see how hard you had to concentrate to play it badly. Thanks for this song, I like the Jim Croce version , where the lyrics are slightly different. There’s a verse that goes
Parra subir el cielo ,
(For to climb to the sky)
Parra subir el cielo ,( si) ? nessicito una escelerra grande
( for to climb to the sky (we) ? Need a big stairway)
Etc… ( my Spanish is a bit kaput) but I think the lyrics sound better than the Richie Valans one . Thier both great though , will definitely keep working at this ,
I just learned the solo from holy diver but I can’t fuckin play this song right
Just learned it… you have a terrible way of teaching this. You should really break it down into three or four separate licks making it easier.
You missed one note!
The tab is inaccurate. Last note missing
Why don't play the bars with an Metronom and count all the notes? Tabs are Not good too read when start on +2.. the Pause ist important
First
congratulations!
La gamba was the first song I learned in my guitar playing career
Show the likes and dislikes... I never check like when the totals are hidden. Just saying.
Easy riff yes, but you are teaching it incorrectly, the notes aren't right!
