I love this song! Your tutorial was awesome, thank you! I'm 68 years and have been playing for about 1 1/2 years, I struggle with 'hearing' rhythm and I love that you show multiple ways to understand it. I relate to, d du-udu etc., when I see this I hear it!
Hello! It’s wonderful to meet you 😊 I totally get it, hearing or feeling rhythm can be tricky and overwhelming the senses. So the trick to first clap it out or tap it on your guitar is a really helpful step you can add when learning new rhythms 🙌🎸😊
Thank you! @@thestellarguitarist
Hey Amber - i converted your name to these chords (A - Bm - A) then strummed them in the ddu ddu dudu udu pattern and it literally played the music for "OMW you're hot" by Steller Fans 😝
Appreciate the enthusiasm and energy here!! 😄🎵✨ that song title and band name are next level haha 😅
Just fabulous, Amber! I am in awe of your skill and ability to explain and teach songs on the guitar 🎵 I love that you are stretching your students to learn new techniques each week and they can add to their strumming styles. I just love this song ❤ Beautiful lesson ❤❤
I’m so glad my teaching style resonates with you 🙏🧡 that makes me so happy to hear! Thank you for your support and kindness
Your lessons are great to follow,I just struggle with rhythm,I always seem to go back to the DDUUDU!!😳😞I find that’s just a natural rhythm for me…..maybe because I’m left handed,my brain can’t cope with change!!😳🤔😀😂😜Good work though Amber👍👏👏
Hi Sean 😊 I’m so glad you find my guitar tutorials helpful! Thank you 🙏 the DDUUDU strumming pattern can be a default pattern. BUT, it doesn’t work with so many songs so it’s not a bad thing! The trick now is to try and keep your arm swinging back and forth and keep time while strumming - that can mean adding ups and downs at any moment, as long as you are keeping time 😁🎶👍🏻 that’s how’s different strumming patterns are created and formed!
I'm really feeling down, down, up, up, down, up down, up down, up....😂😂😂 great one easier than last week..thank you. Love and blessings. Phalaborwa.🇿🇦🇿🇦🤗
Hi Schalk! I hope you are well 😃🎸 was watching the cricket Paarl Royals vs MI Cape Town 🏏 and an ad came on with Dale! And I thought of you 😄🎶🎸 thanks for watching my tutorial on Sunday! Yep… it’s got lots of ups and downs 🤪 happy strumming!

Bom!🙏 Greetings again Amber. I meant to say earlier that I adore your singing, the voice of an angel.
I've been banging out this tune for a while (just the chords), but although it's fun, it is painful for my ears as I have the voice of a wounded toad!!!!
You have a new fan 👍🎵🎸 Blessings ❤️

Thanks so much for watching! I’m so glad you enjoyed my tutorial 🎵🙏
You are really terrific. What I like most about your lessons is that you don’t assume that we know something. You take the time to explain it all. Appreciate you
Hi Mia 😃🎶 thank you, what a lovely kind message to receive! I love focusing on helping beginners and so I like to break things down into bite sized pieces- manageable and not overwhelming 🙏🎶 I appreciate your support and commitment x
i like it.
That’s awesome thanks Gary! 😃🙏🎵
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤no comment sooo nice.... I love❤❤❤ u.... U are like second Justin music.... So clear teaching❤❤❤
Thank you so much! 😃🙏🎶
Great! This would make a cool Duet piece, one person plays the Solo bits during the respective parts and could strum along with the A to Bm to D chords. While the other guitarist Capo's their guitar at the 2nd fret and strums the chords G to Am to C! Same key, just a different set of chords and Tonality. The Capo at 2nd fret might make the chord transitions a little easier than A, Bm and D. Either way, a fun song to learn to play! Love these Lessons Amber! Look forward to them every time.
That’s a great idea, a duet with the capo on and another guitar without the capo. Will get nice combination of different voicing’s from the chords 🎸🙌 I’m glad you enjoyed the lesson! Thanks for watching 😃
You teach very well. I subscribed immediately Thank you very much 🙏👏
That’s awesome! Thanks for the sub 😃🎵🙌
@@thestellarguitarist thanks a lot 🤗🎵🙏
Hi Stella.
I absolutely love your tutorial on "What's Up?" by 4 Non Blondes.
I am wondering if you would be interested in doing a tutorial on a very catchy
New Zealand guitar tune "White Rabbit" by legendary guitarist, the late and very
great Peter Posa.
I have seen and heard many cover versions of "White Rabbit" but I haven't seen a
tutorial. I believe you would do a wonderful tutorial on how to play "White Rabbit".
Many thanks Stella.
Hi John 😊 thanks so much for watching my tutorial! And thanks for your song request. As you can imagine I get 100’s of requests every day 😅 I will take a listen to your request and see if it’s a song I’d like to add to my channel. Have a great day! 🎸🙏🎵
Having played a bit with buddies 20 years ago, having had no lessons, unable to strum musically!!, or sing .... (but keen!) I came upon your channel and have been working at it for an hour or more a day. Love your approach!! Thanks.
You can do it! 🎸🎶 as long as you are keen which you have said you are!! 😃🎶 and if you have a great outlook and awesome time making music, you are already a winner 🏆 I’m so happy you enjoyed my lesson! Thank you for watching 😃
Rivedo sempre con piacere la lezione sto imparando molto sia come ritmica che come tempi grazie infinite dall’ Italia Aurelio
Thanks so much for the love and support! ✨🙏 I’m so glad my lessons have been so helpful and inspiring! 🎵
En plus de posséder la matière et de nous la rendre accessible, vous avez une magnifique voix. Merci pour vos tutos qui me sont très utiles.❤
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the lesson 😃 🎵
❤😮❤ song request willie nelson : Red headed stranger from blue rock Montana
❤😮❤ song request: Theme song from Dukes of Hazard
The clapping is a good technique,can we use a capella sound to learn strumming?
Hey! Yes you can definitely learn a rhythm first by clapping it and then try to strum it. This is a great technique!
Awesome! You actually did a song I requested! Thanks! I hope I wasn’t the only one tho…..😂But it’s such a good song, I would think other people requested it too. As long as you like it, that’s all that matters! 😂 PEACE!
Yes! Your request had me singing that song all day in my head 🤣🤣 WHATS GOING ON!?? Yeaaah yeaaah yeahhh yeaaah 😂 I just HAD to do it for a lesson- excellent request! Probably my favourite lesson taught to date!! So thank you 🙏
@@thestellarguitarist Your Welcome! It’s a killer tune!
I can ply it but it would be nice to hear you play ohh la la
Glad you can play the song! 😃🎸 which artist is Ohh La La by? I’m not sure I know the song
Ok,Ma Ma, thanks.
Thank you for watching 😊🎵
Amberさん、こんにちは👋😃いつもながら丁寧で分かりやすい解説ですね。このまま行きましょう。さて、リクエストがあります。U2のSunday Bloody Sundayです。この曲は昔バンドで演奏しました。私はドラムでした。思い出深い曲です。アルペジオとコードバッキングを同じコード進行で交互に演奏していて面白いと思います。皆さんの練習にもなるんではないでしょうか。いかがでしょうか？
Thank you so much! I’ll have to look into U2 and that song, thanks for the request 😁🎶🎸
❤😮❤ what is the time signature the key signature and BPM metronome settings
Hi! I think you can easily get all this info with a quick google search 🔎 🎸🎵
@@thestellarguitarist yes but it will not be what your teaching... The reason for this question is that if I just practice the chord changes till I can perform 130% faster than your song lesson then I cam easily complete your lesson. Speed training?
Internet reveals What's Up?" tempo of 134 beats per minute (BPM), but can also be played at half-time at 67 BPM or double-time at 268 BPM. The song is in the key of D major***. ***Is that how you transposed this too?
Please understand I just started and trying to learn how to chord and switch. And patterns are harder and when I try to sing everything goes off
Helo
Hi! Thanks for tuning in 😃🎵
Солнце извини пожалуйста, я плохо знаю ангельский язык. Подскажи плз У Вас на заставке играет мелодия, что это за мелодия и откуда.
Hi! I am using music from the public domain for my short intro song! Not sure the name I’m sorry 🙈
You just coincidently happen to be a Non- Blonde ? Always been attracted to dark hair even though i'm blonde , must be the Cherokee in me.😁🔥🎸🔥✌Good lesson !👍
Haha thanks so much! Yup 😂 non blonde over here 🙋🏻♀️ thanks for tuning in and for the lovely message 🙏😊
It would help greatly if you played a few of the bars first and then explained how to play it. For the more advanced players. Great otherwise Thanks❤
The reason for teaching this way , as done in the tutorial , is so that whether you are a beginer or an advanced guitarist , you don't rush the steps. Then the correct methods , or the way the song is to be played is comprised if it is anticipated .
I'm very guilty of rushing material in my guitar group at home and I play something wrong accidentally , or get out of sync .... I am the most advanced in my group .
I always end up rushing the process because I am the most advanced .
Patience ..... Amber has an amazing method .
Her process has actually helped me get further ahead by taking the extra minute to do things correctly first , before jumping into the song .
Cheers
Couldn’t have said it better myself 🙏🙌 thank you for sharing this, my teaching method is certainly not for everyone. But I know it absolutely works if you are willing to be patient like you have said ⭐️ I’m so glad you have learnt so much from my channel! Makes me so so happy! 😃🎶⭐️🎸
This is a pet-peeve of mine with most of these tutorials. I wanna see/hear the finished product first. It also makes sense for playalong because you simply go straight back to the beginning of the vid. I recently came across a tutor who not only does this but has an amazingly similar taste in music to mine....bonus 😊
@@AdaptivePhenix I am not only dedicated to Amber's proven beginer guitar teaching system , but also I have worked with our guitar groups instructor to test this theory .
I bet them a free Saturday lunch either way !
I challenged the instructor to teach our group a song that is more difficult than they thought that we are ready for.
Using Amber's system , and with the group Not having any knowledge of what song we were going to learn , the group actually did extremely well. That was in comparison to the instructor normally playing the tune at the start of the lesson .
Amber's method eliminates a couple very big issues that cause problems.
The main issue is having the anticipation of what you think you MUST achieve , rather than working in steps , allowing yourself to master each step of the song .
The second is something I am guilty of..... by having a little advanced knowledge I always tend to rush one or two notes ahead .
That causes a loss of tempo for me ... I also mess up the strumming patterns ....
and I forget where I am on the barre because I am soooo focused on the songs completed state .... not focused on playing the song as it was meant to be played .
Have you Ever been to an outdoor function and there is a band playing ... ?
The first thing I notice is whether they play the songs like they were supposed to sound. If they don't , it generally means they did not learn the song but rather a rendition
I have found that people in general can't see the benefits of getting further ahead faster , by doing things on a proven system . They only want things fast .
I challenged our groups instructor over our lesson to show everyone in the group that Amber's method works wonders .
We used to sound like crap at the end of the group lesson. Now I have our entire group watching Amber's channel but have not said anything to our instructor because the group lesson has been pre- payed for the next 6 months !
Now , it is just a social common interest weekly group LOL
Stellar is stellar for a reason. It works wonders for our guitar group .
@@user-uu1wc6yz5z Maybe that if you had put a fraction of your typing time into comprehending my statement, you would understand that I wasn't critiquing the method but the format of the video.
I don't pretend to understand the UA-cam deal but it seems to me that attracting views and subscriptions is an objective.
Some of us have been playing at an advanced level, long before this young lady was born. Personally, the A, Bm, D was obvious without looking at tablature or a video but it's worth checking how others are playing a chord progression to see if they have embellished in some way.
Playing the entire song up-front makes perfect sense because it grabs the attention, makes for easier playalong and experienced musicians don't have to sit through stuff that they learned decades previously.
The tutoring portion is unaffected, merely shifted.
This is not beginner friendly. Barre chords tend to take a looooooooooong time to get down. Like a lot. The easiest way is capo on the second fret and playing G A C chords. I have played this song a lot and is on my u-tune channel.
Hmmmm 🤔 not sure if you watched my entire tutorial because I play open chords (not Bm barre chord, I show a beginner friendly fix! 😃🙌) no barre chords here! 👌
@thestellarguitarist I have looked at the entire lesson. When I say beginner friendly, I mean using only the 8 essential beginner chords. A/Am/C/D/Dm/E/Em and G chords. I see some, but not entirely. Sorry, but in my opinion, this is a more advanced beginner approach. Capo second, simple chords beginner should know. It's easier to play. But that is my opinion and many others I know. Excellent lesson. But on the more advanced side is all.
Fair enough! 😄
There is only one Barre chord, Bm, to start if it's hard for you play a 3 fingered power chord, root, 5th and root. Once you get used to that you can practice putting your middle finger down to get the flattened. 3rd that makes it minor. Be patient it will come easier than you think
