    I recently heard this song in Guardians of the Galaxy and fell in love with it because of the guitar. Typed "george harrison my sweet lord guitar lesson" soon as I got back home from the theater, and I think for one moment there I was the happiest person alive because I found that you've done a tutorial on this beautiful song. Clicked the like button before I even started the video. Your videos are awesome! Thanks!

  • @flipityflopp

    Tks so much, JustinGuitar. Your explanation of the "push" (offbeat chord change) is exactly what I needed to hear to get this song down just right. Oy, mate.

  • @1contemporary
    @1contemporary 2 роки тому +1

    The greatest song ever written. I love the chord progression and the key change up one step. It just flows like magic. And the words on the record cover, "All things must pass away." It's so true that one must think about it for life. And I love the way George starts with Hallelujah (Christian), and then changes to include all religions. George Harrison was called the quiet Beatle. We didn't know how great he was until after the death of the Beatles. But he left the world with a song that will go on for eternity. Playing it is so much more powerful than listening to it. Thank you for your music George!

    • @kingrobert1st

    I wish you would have done this prior to last September. I had to learn this in one week to play at my Mom's funeral. I mostly let my Sister drown me out with the piano. It worked out fine anyway. Great song! Oh, then we played "In My Life". The fact that I played at all is due to what I've learned from Justin. Thanks again Mate.

    Justin! A big thank you for all your online lessons, I made incredibly fast progress the first month of the beginners course but like a lot of folk got stuck on the dreaded F Chord, could not seem to get my fingers in the right place at all it'd been like 3 weeks. Watching this video I tried to copy your finger positions then put my first finger on the back of the neck after (lower down than I was holding it before), and voilà now have it! Not sure if you'll ever read this but thanks very much!

    Sounds awesome on a 12 string! I had to transpose it because I tune down to C#.
    When you play Am its the same as Em with the capo on fret 2 so I stay in the right key. This allows me to do the "slide" part with double stops.

    there is an 'easy' 4 string Bm chord available XX0432. which is just a pinky move from the D and you can keep your 1 finger in place for the D chord when you lift the pinky :) I got this one because I play Baritone Ukulele as well and this song is easy on that.

  • @Tickbryan
    @Tickbryan 10 років тому

    You can use the same chord shapes for the F#dim as you use for the Fdim to the B before the modulation. This way you only have to move one finger just as you did before.

    • @Tickbryan
      @Tickbryan 10 років тому

      Think of it as moving the capo up two frets for the modulation.

  • @TimTheTuner
    @TimTheTuner 11 років тому

    Thanks Justin! I found that the F#dim. chord is basically the D major formation moved down one string (down is toward low E?) and add the pinky on the E (first) string. Once I got a hold of that it was easy. I'm going to work on this and see if I can get it. It takes me awhile because I'm still pretty much an intermediate-beginner.

  • @pup1008
    @pup1008 2 роки тому

    Justin I recently started using a "Shrub" (I think it is?) capo & they are *MUCH* better than those straight clamp ones. You can adjust the grip on them &, I imagine, similar models. I just find with those clamp ones, & especially after awhile, they lose their grip.

    @paulweddle9250 7 років тому

    This was an Important lesson for me as thought I had it all figured out. That dim chord that goes to the B7 was key.. I was just using a B7 and letting the 6th string off and on..I use that exact dim chord later on from the E to C7 that differs from your tutorial but it works for me..I enjoy and learn much from your videos and even sent you some American Cash for support but never heard a word??

    TY very much Justin. I love this song so much. And for me it's another very good song to work my bar chords. I love the rhythm where the chord change happens on the Upstrum but i have really big trouble changing to the Bar Bminor from the D on the upstrum . I think it's because of the 2 factors : change on upstrum + change to bar chord from open chord...guess it's the next step after switching from open to barre on simple basic downstrum, let's work on this ! ty again

    Janisse - another good one to try similar transition is Norwegian Wood, another upstrum from D to Bm...but much different song. I just happened to take this on right after that ...and was having similar challenges with it. Doing same thing on this song rounded it out for me. I think Justin also has a Norwegian Wood lesson...

    I could be mistaken but I'm pretty sure it's Fdim7, b7, Em. Not F#dim, b7, Em for the "but it takes so long my lord" part. Has the same chord shape as an F#dim but the root note he's playing is just F on the third fret 4th string. Fdim7 = F Ab Cb Ebb which i'm pretty sure is what he's playing. correct me if i'm wrong, i'm learning.
