Wow, I am seriously impressed that you did this tutorial on such a tough song. It is excellent, well done. Yeah, I am still watch you, I just don't comment often. You are still a top shelf instructor.
Hi! I’m watching this from Sweden. I’m 54 and just re-started playing guitar after not having played since I was a teenager. You are very good at dismantle the learning process in to small steps and describing tips and tricks for how to learn. Just love it and will keep following your channel! 🙏🏼❤️
Hey Bernadette ,Thanks for running through The Hotel California at a speed including lyrics this aged beginner could keep up with. Cheers TonyH. Portsmouth UK 🇬🇧
Hi, I am 56 yrs old from India, you are the Politest and kindest teacher I have seen, I like your teaching style, excellent, very simple and very engaging..I will be following from here on, Thankyou..🙏❤
Yeah, too many videos are like, go like this with your fingers 🤘🏻 and bar the strings, now slide over to gdgdhdg and do the same 😭. I'm going to try this video right now. It sounds achievable.
Excellent tutorial. No rushing. No showing of for the first ten minutes... Then doing the tutorial. And...a good voice. If you want to learn guitar... One can't go wrong here.
My first comment, to support your great channel ;-) I am a ukulele beginner and thought this guitar-based video might not be relevant to me. But once I realized the chords are all familiar (and thank goodness F is easy on the uke!) I could follow along here too. Thank you for your encouraging, helpful support, it's a pleasure to learn with you.
Hopefully soon, you'll acquire a Kanilea - they are AWESOME! I had a few inexpensive ukes until I watched YT video of "Honoka & Azita Miserlou" then I immediately bought a Kanilea!
I like how you predicted my anxiety and telling me to deep breath knowing yourself. Thank you. I also need the link to this printable sheet for Htl Cal.
I am gradually learning guitar, pick it up & put it down. You are so thorough & patient with little tips & given me the enthusiasm to carry on. Great - Thanks so much
Hello, I have watched many of your videos. You take the time to benefit (older people like me ) to enjoy guitar playing again. Had a severe injury and could not play the guitar for almost 30 years. With your great lessons, I'm getting much better. Love the fact that you mention the importance of relaxing, I know now that relaxation and practicing are so important. Keep up the great work You have a beautiful smile and a calmness that all of us admire. Best Regards.
Bernadett, I love your easy going style of teaching. I'm 66 and picked up the guitar about two years ago after retiring. Having a blast! Thank you for breaking this down for all of us newbies. Keep up the great work. Dave from Delaware, US of A. 😊
You have an incredible calming voice and a great understanding in instructor. I picked up the guitar for the first time during the pandemic because I was bored and was determined to learn how to play an instrument which I picked the guitar! I’m glad I found you which you have a lovely style of teaching and a beautiful woman.
Enjoyed the lesson. One of my favorite songs. Picked up my 1965 Fender Mustang mom and dad gave me in 1965 and after having it restrung began to refresh my finger movements and cords. Thanks for the visuals on the cords.
I love you as a teacher, is is very well explained, another woman teacher I love The Stellar Guitarist. I 'm 69 and learn since 2 year with a teacher in my city Troyes in France
I have just retired and I am starting (I guess) the best part of the end of the road: I used to be a classic guitar student and trying to wake up my knowledge and practice to make the guitar part of my soul....!!! Thank you Bernardette to help me in my personal goal....!! Greetings from Chile. 😘
Many many thanks to you for teaching with such patience understanding and love. Disabled fire fighter dealing with a TBI, doing all my best to get back the gift of music! I pray one day I will be able to do the same to help others share this wonderful gift of music which transends all languages, universal! Blessings and prosperity to you. Thank you for not charging money which some of us have limited resources for now! Heart felt, love your teaching method! I look forward to seeing all your videos, five stars and then some!
Many thanks Bernadette; I'm from France, and I'm just begining the guitare ( 57 years old) , and you are definitively my lovely teacher. I like so much your explanations, this is very clear. Big applause!!!!
8:43 "Remind your face that you're not mad" 💚 (with that gentle reminder-tap on 'the 3rd eye area', and a little rub on the bridge of the nose?) I'm taking that one with me in my heart❤(hopefully forever) Such a sweet notion. Thank you for the clear, calm, and relaxing tutorial.
I am just starting again after 30 years of not playing music. I picked the guitar up again. And found you on utube. That was a great lesson,and confidence builder. I hope to catch some more of your lessons in the future.
Absolutely love your laid back teaching style. I have played drums for many years and decided to start to try to play guitar. Your lessons have helped tremendously. Thank you.
One of the best guitar lessons I have ever come across. Such a beautiful song explained so beautifully. I am a new learner but have always wanted to play this song since my teenage. With these instructions I can actually play it myself. The best moment 12:27😊 Thank you so very much 🙏
Hi, I’m from Germany! Thank you so much for this video. You explained it the best so far, and I actually managed to play it (with some small struggles while singing). Amazing job, keep it up!
I agree 👍🏾. I can't do Dm yet though. Please do Wonderwall and Don't Look back in anger. Your explanations are very easy to follow, for someone who's only had a guitar 3 weeks. Other videos go way too fast and assume that everyone has fingers like E.T. 🙈
WELL DONE LADY, this world needs EXCELLENT TEACHERS like you dear, and you are very SIMPLE and LOVING, and I see a lady in you who is saving the REPUTATION OF A REAL TEACHER, BEST OF LUCK DEAR TEACHER. I’m a GUITAR TEACHER from SRILANKA SINCE 1967.
Dear Bernadette, I was enchanted by your velvety way of teaching, with an angelic calm voice, decorated with a wonderful smile. You explain wonderfully and show a simple way of playing. You have a truly enormous, unique gift for this. It makes me want to listen to you, watch you and play with you. I have been playing the guitar as an amateur for couple of years. I have always liked the song Hotel California by The Eagles and it put me in a good mood and somehow I never get bored. I used to play it in a different way, but in this lesson of yours I played it with you with these simple chords and it sounds pure and beautiful. I am writing to you from a country on the Vistula River in Europe called Poland. Do not stop in your efforts to teach playing the guitar. You bring peace and harmony to the viewers. Of course I have subscribed to your channel. With my best regards.
Hello Bernadette. I’m enjoying this lesson up here in the northwest of British Columbia. I finally got the more complicated strumming pattern once I broke each measure into 16ths. I appreciate your teaching style. You have such a light, graceful manner that really does make the lesson so much fun. Thank you for your time and commitment.
Thank you Bernadette. I m from Turkey. I stared guitar last year. I'm 64 years old )) This song is my favorite song of my youth. I must play definetely, I liked your style,many thanks 🙏❤
Great explanation, calm voice, professional teacher. Those tiny mistakes make this lesson more real and relief tension when learning as a begginer. You've got unique skill making such tutorials. It's like being on a real lesson teacher-student.
Thank u for the great lesson.. I just get back from many years in playing guitar.. Yesterday with Still loving u and always somewhere which is my fav song from the scorpions.. And now I'm watching yours from Malaysia 🇲🇾.. Peace love ✌️❤️
Thanks Bernadette. That was a great lesson. Your beginner friendly lesson makes it possible to play one of my favorite Eagles songs and actually sound good. Thanks so much.
