THANK YOU! I am an "older" person who has always wanted to play guitar. so with the covid crisis going on I had some time... I borrowed a guitar from a friend two week ago.. and have been frustrated for two weeks. Then today I found your video. and an hour later i am making actual music! I really needed a "win" with the guitar and you gave me the information to do it. Thank you so much! I am now subscribed!!!
Ok so it's not just me.I didnt even pick up my guitar and just 🎶😎not worrying bout a thing doot do doot..doot.Il it grab it later and get to heart of matter 🕊🎶🐦🎶🐥🎶😊
you are easily the best instructor on line. How you show everything and keep the cords on the screen with the words is top notch. Great Job!!! my friend and i will be using your videos from now on for our jam sessions.
(y) Been playing 11 years, and in that time I have seen ALOT of tut videos on TH-cam and this is by far the best I've ever seen I think. Why? THEORY EXPLAINED THROUGH PRACTICE. Not even my IRL guitar teacher knew how to do that, when I asked him why a fifth was a fifth it took him until the next lesson to work out how to explain it to me haha. You just do it as your playing to get people familiar. I got the rythem for this first time because of the way you just counted whilst playing one chord, I was even singing along as I played first time around! That's just credit to the well composed video. Lovely guitar too ;)
+Tim Tovey Thanks so much Tim, one of the most motivating comments I've received all day, it means alot. Keep checking back, I have some really great lessons planned for the coming weeks. -Rob
I know this video is a little dated so I'm late but you are very gifted. Not just with your voice and 🎸 playing (which are beyond amazing) but also with teaching. Not everyone can dissect a skill and break it down to a level in which a beginner can grasp the concept. Thank you, I've always wanted to learn to play.
This is a fabulous tutorial! I have been on and off trying to learn a song on the guitar for years, I came across this lesson and it finally clicked for me! Thanks so much!
Thank you so much for this amazing song. Im from Queensland Australia 🇦🇺.I’m going to learn this song. I have come across your guitar lessons just recently. U have motivated me to get back in playing guitar. Has really helped with my mental health and depression. I have just recently learnt Stand by me and let it be amazing. Thank you so much really Appreciate it
Fantastic! Thank you so much! Here are my notes: The song is in the Key of A Major, which is this: A B C# D E F# G# A The I, IV, and V chords are A, D, and E Note: A Major Scale has these steps: Whole, whole, half, whole, whole, whole, half. The C Major scale has no sharps or flats: C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C Refer to it if you forget the whole and half step sequence. The I, IV, and V chords of the C Major Scale are C, F, and G. The modified intro is this: 2nd string: frets 10, 10, 12, 10 1st string: frets 12, 9 2nd string, frets 12, 10 (repeat 4 times) I think it's ok to "cheat" and use any fingers; I use 1st and 4th Notes played in modified intro: B String: 10th fret A, 10 A, 12 B, 10 A E String, 12 E, 9 C# B String, 12th fret B, 10th A Note all notes are in the A Major Scale Strumming Pattern is Reggae style. 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & Knock on the guitar body on 1,2,3 and 4. Strum UP on each & Keep it nice and short. Note: Most rock music has the beats on the whole number counts with 8 8th notes, or counts 1 and 3 with 4 quarter notes (4/4 time). Reggae is "synchopated" with the beats on the "and" count for 8 8th notes, and on the 2 and 4 for 4 quarter notes counting. Note: He/you say "Slap the strings." I say "Knock on the guitar." The assumption is we would know something as simple as "slap the strings," but there isn't instruction, so, I'm not sure how to do it without making the strings sound notes. The guitar knock sounds good, so I'm sticking with that. Chorus: (6:19 in video) (knock) Don't (A ) worry, About a thing (knock) Cause (D) Every little thing, is gonna be all (A) Right. (knock-stay on A) Singing Don't worry, etc. Repeat. Chorus Summary: A (8 beats), D (4 beats), A(4 beats) Word chord switches: Cause(knock)-Every(D); All (knock) Right(A) Note: (8) is 8 strums, or 2 measures of knock-strum, knock-strum, knock-strum, knock-strum. Verse (9:06 in video) (A) Rise up this mornin' Smile with the (E) risin' sun Three little (A) birds Pitched by my (D) doorstep Singin' (A) sweet songs Of melodies (E) pure and true Sayin', (D) "This is my message to (A) you, whoo-hoo" Verse Chord Progression Summary: A-4 beats, E-4, D-4, A-4 then A-4, E-4, D-4, A-4. One line verse summary, 4 beats/chord: A E A D, A E D A
In the intro, before returning back to B then A, try plucking B then C#(14th fret) which will now be the ending part of the intro. Then do it all again. Hope the suggestion helps :)
Awesome tutorial. Thanks so much. Seen it a bunch of times trying to learn this. I’m learning using barre chords. Barre chords feel more natural to me since muting is easier. Been 2 months of about 30 mins a day. Can’t say it’s great sounding since my barre chords aren’t clean all the time and my chord changing speed leaves a lot to be desired.
Rob, Thank you so much! Your lessons are WONDERFUL! I am making incredible progress thanks to you and others here on you tube. I actually amaze myself! This Reggae version of this song was hard for me at first.....NOW....I revisited it...and it sounds FANTASTIC.....This particular song really HELPS my SINGING too.....(Its very easy to sing)! I would recommend it to anyone who is trying to improve their singing as well as guitar playing! You give 3 nice options for the intro....anyone should be able to play at least one version of that! For that "Slap".....I would describe it as a "Palm Muted, Scratch" on the down beat....Sound the chord on the UP beat! Rob.....YOU are a GREAT instructor! (Believe me....in the past I have dredged up some AWFUL instructors)! One told me....."I would NEVER ever be any good at guitar and I should just put it down and save my money and everybody else's ears".....He destroyed my DREAMS for years! Well....I am back on my dream....thanks to YOU ! I can't thank you enough! (And hey....it IS WORKING....I can actually call myself a "Musician" and a "GUITARIST" now)! You, have helped me achieve my dreams....it totally blows me away! THANKS AGAIN ROB! Oh and BTW: My name is Rob, also! Wow...the whole cosmic thing is really communicating now!
Thank you so much dude....I learned this song within a week... I had to nail the slapping part but that was fixed in three days... Thank you for teaching me how to play my first song on guitar.....
You are one of my favorite guitar teachers on youtube! thanks for the tutorials! Some will like your content and some wont. Thats life! but great stuff
hi i just started playing guitar again after middle school a couple years back. You freshened my memory up and are a great teacher you earned a sub!!!!! keep up the good work

The help with this song has been brilliant I'm a beginner of 4 months and I picked this up easily with your help through the song to help me understand was brilliant Thankyou for your time to teach people you've certainly made things more easy for me I just have to work on my bar cords they still hurt :'D
Yeh it's fairly easy guitar wise but trying too sing and play this correctly is not beginner. Don't sweat it. You'll get it with daily practice. Your mind will get better after every sleep.
Hey great vid man! Just one question: you play a bar chord in this song, but because I am a beginner, I can't play this yet... Do you know an alternative chord to play instead?
Nice one you explained the technique the chords and even an easy way to play the intro awesome teacher thank you . could you do simply red's version of night nurse please.
Hi!:) I love you're videos, I'm a new guitar player and self taught so far you're videos have really helped me enhance my skill set, as well as learn some really fun songs to play. I really want to lean to play Boardwalks by Little May. If you could do a video on it that would be so awesome but i also understand you are very busy so if not i totally understand. Thanks so much for all the help!
Rob, You are great! I even got my guitar teacher saying how good you are! On the slap, my teacher say to use my thumb to hit the E string. It sure does sound good, but I have a hard time slapping and muffing the prior strum. When I use more of my palm/ thumb area to slap, I can easily muff the prior strum, but the slap becomes quieter, and more difficult. How do you do both at the same time so easily?
God Bless you, beloved Master Thank you so much for your Amazing work. You are my healer and inspiration in life not just to play guitar, but to also teach, educate and help people live better more fulfilling and meaningful lives! A song request: Metallica - Nothing Else Matters Led Zeppelin - Stairwaysto Heaven Red Hot Chilli peppers - Californication Stay Blessed
Nice lesson. On the up-strum are you not strumming the open strings in the chords or muting them in some way so as not to spoil the staccato effect of pressing and releasing the fingered strings? Thanks.
Fantastic lesson! I can now add this song to my list! Very Easy to learn! Sounds GREAT! I have one question. When you "slap" the strings....It actually looks as if YOU are doing a muted Down Stroke, for the slap? Just scratching the strings? Its amazing how tiny little things like that can change the whole sound of a song! GREAT LESSON......THANK YOU SO MUCH! I really appreciate the time you take to do these! OK.....NOW I see....(Looked at some of your other vids.).....The slap/scratching sound is just your plectrum hitting the bass string when you slap....
Dude, what's your name again? I swear, you're one of the best guitar teacher here in youtube...I can tell that you have that good and happy spirit, good personality. And please stay who you are, and keep your passion and teaching. We really appreciate your time and effort...I've learned to play some of my favorite songs here because of you. Thanks so much...:))
KamakazeHeadbanger Thats the tune! I've been trying to remember the title of that one. Would you mind submitting it to the suggestion box? goo.gl/s6rH26
Unfortunately, I have small hands, which means that I can't mute the down strum using my thumb. Gotta use the pinky, which is kinda funky. Or I could just mute it by stumming AND putting my rand forehand on the strings. Anyway, It's a great tutorial, learnt a lot from you already! Love your content and keep it up!

I love your lessons. You use minimal chords, basic strumming, lay it out in proper progression and demo it - you have me hooked - fantastic!
His voice is so calming.

Hey great vid man! Just one question: you play a bar chord in this song, but because I am a beginner, I can't play this yet... Do you know an alternative chord to play instead?
That was awesome. One of my favorite songs.
Nice work. Genuine delivery. Keep it up.

Nice lesson. On the up-strum are you not strumming the open strings in the chords or muting them in some way so as not to spoil the staccato effect of pressing and releasing the fingered strings? Thanks.
Amazing lesson and amazing singing!
OMG what a great voice!
Fantastic lesson! I can now add this song to my list! Very Easy to learn! Sounds GREAT! I have one question. When you "slap" the strings....It actually looks as if YOU are doing a muted Down Stroke, for the slap? Just scratching the strings? Its amazing how tiny little things like that can change the whole sound of a song! GREAT LESSON......THANK YOU SO MUCH! I really appreciate the time you take to do these!
