This was the second song ever that made me cry.
I just came out of school, failed an exam, just learned to play guitar and this song came on on my headphones and somehow it just spoke to me.
"If you want to be a hero well just follow me."
That line really made me follow my guitar, follow John...
Mike D head up bud
he actually doesnt want you to follow him. That line was sarcastic, because he doesnt want to be seen like a prophet or something he sung that line.
Mike D...Just curious, what was the first song ever that made you cry?
John really requires deep thinking to fully understand his music. He was extremely intelligent and knew exactly what he was doing, almost like it was destiny. God has a plan for us all because the truth is God is the universe/multiverse and the universe gave birth to us so what does that make us? Part of him/her/everything. We are everything. When you look in the mirror you are the universe observing itself. You are the embodiment of life itself and the desire for growth and experience.
1:00 - Rhythm strumming pattern
1:22 - Basic chord sequence: Am Am G Am
1:28 - Am Am Am Am
1:49 - 1st line of the chorus: Am Am G Am
1:59 - 2nd chorus? Am G D Am
2:26 - Pick the A string for each 3 strums
3:23 - Sometimes he hits the 4th string
3:30 - Sometimes it's removing the 2nd finger on your A minor chord and hammering on
6:01 - Full song
Dude thanks for that break down it's very helpful
That's one purpose of this account!
thank you , very useful
hey , a working class her is something to be ;)
i only come here to listen to justin jam it haha helpful as
I thought it sounds more like Am Am Am Am twice for intro then Am Am G Am followed by Am Am Am this sequence 4 times then Am G D Am followed by Am Am Am. So it is 6/8 for 2 bars and 9/8 for one bar
Justin I am an older man being inspired by a younger man and wish so much that I had stuck at my guitar when I was younger. My advice to any young people learning guitar is don't get to distracted by drink and the like as I did. Great cover of a great song. Thanks for all your help and though slower I will stick at it.
That's awesome, sir. Thanks for the tip!
How's that guitar treating you??
I've been enjoying Justin's lessons for many odd years, and he has deserved many of my likes and comments. But this one goes out to Justin as a person. You're a saint. You're opening many eyes through the spirit of their guitars. Thanks once again.
This new Lyrics-
♪ An A-minor as you born they G you feel A-minor ♪
♪ By A-minor you no time in G and to A-minor ♪
♪ Till the A-minor is so big you feel G at all ♪
♪ A A-minor hero is G going to A-minor ♪
♪ An A-minor G is D to A-minor ♪
Priceless
This comment actually helps too lol
Made my day, thanks
Alan Perel love it, too!
you're great mate!, great tutorial! ,Thank you! from Argentina!
That was Lennon's actual first draft btw.
"Till the A minor is so big you feel G at all"
You said it first
This is the definition of reality and power. Simple but game changer
I don't use a pick when I play the song. I strum it with my thumb. I do that because it's easier to play the bass lines while strumming and it gives it a nice mellow feel, much like the record.
Dude, same
Ditto my man
Yh i feel the same way!
All you need is 3 simple chords and great lyrics and you too can be a legend!
I'm singing this on the last day of elementary at my talent show.
You've been raised very well or you've discovered amazing music by yourself. Anyway +1 for you.
Sophie Wiebe watch out for the F word.
You go girl.....rip working class hero
Its as relevant today as it was then...
@@jeffj318 shh lol
Im sure theyll get over it
@@imannonymous7707 It's the last day. What's there to lose? :D
As a scouser , born in Liverpool but left 40 years ago, great rendition of this song , my favourite line , still ferkin peasants ,sang with feeling , luvin it , cheers Justin xx
Hey Justin, I learned this song a few months ago and at that time in stage 3 of your beginner course I couldn't begin to wrap my head around picking out the strings and hammering on. Now I'm in stage 8 and I've gone back to this great song and the picking and hammer on is so easy now! Thank you so much for all you do. I've made so much progress on guitar and I owe so much of it to you!
I love how much into it he gets, when he starts playing. It's like the song is touching his soul.
You guys don't even know how often I come to see Justin's version of Working Class Hero, instead of John's. I love Justin's version and I hope he makes a 3rd channel to post some more covers.
"JustinGuitar" "JustinGuitar Songs" and hopefully some day "JustinGuitar Covers". I'd subscribed immediately.
Whenever I sing/play this song I automatically sing the chorus in Justin's voice.
Thanks again for the lessons, Justin. It feels good to learn from the best.
Wow ... I have heard Justin sing a lot of songs (not his strength as he admits in his self deprecating way) over the past 2 years. But he absolutely crushes the song at the end of the video. Lots of emotion, heart felt and authentic. Wow .. Well done. Can't wait to see you in New England! ;-))
Like all truly good songs , that one goes up your spine ...... Lennon was a genius , good job Justin
Justin, I love the emotion that you put into this song. It's unusual for your lessons and it's wonderful. Thank you. You are amazing.
What an emotional and gutsy performance of the song at the end of the video... wow.
it's amazing. sometimes the simplest songs are just the best songs. nothing special at all.. but the feel is overwhelming.
Brilliant lesson, I'm now 72 and will learn how to play the guitar. ... with your help. Many thanks.
Yes, thank you. You're pace and delivery is really great.
At 56 i'm trying again, yes again, to learn the guitar and thanks to you i can play this a bit. I heard it first when i was 13 and the words really stuck out.
I usually don't comment, but this time I feel I must. I love the energy you put into this song. I'm excited to practice playing this one. Thanks for choosing this particular song. It's one of my favorites. Thank you so much. Listening to your rendition of it gave me chills. Awesome.
Thank you so much! This is my favorite song but I couldn't play well...
now I found this video, I will practice and practice. I wonder if I could play so well as you do.
Thank you for your kindness.
It’s been 9 years I hope you can play it well now!
Man, I love how he gets into at the end of the video. The guitar playing is excellent, and you can see the passion is evident in his energy. Great cover of a great song.
i love how you get so into it
Incredibly done Justin! For sure one of John's best songs & one of my favorites. Amazing what he was able to do with just three chords. Pure musical GENIUS, nothing more to say............🎸🎸👍👍
Alway thourght this song was Green days, and now l know its a great cover. Really like the drums, just gives it a fuller sound. I had a look at John singing it, what a legend. Justin is an awesome teacher, he has so much passion. TOP SONG plan to nail this on my guitar, thanx
Thank you sir! I'm learning this one for the next 2 years but I'm loving it. Marked it as started in your songbook! You rock ♥
Thanks Justin, love your lessons. This song is the reason i started playing guitar. I can see you also feel every word of this song. Epic interpretation. Love from Romania.
Lately I absolutely falled in love with this song, thx for covering it!
Justin is a good teacher , I will check out more of him . All I can say is wow and thank you , I mainly play rock music but this blew me away thank you again .
Justin, you're not only a great guitar teacher but also an excellent singer with many thanks and 5 stars from Germany!
One of the best songs ever written
Absolutely clutch. Absolutely fantastic. So beautifully down to earth and real... I thank my bro for showing me your channel, my parents for the Beatles n John Lennon.. for God.. for ..me.. 🥰👍😁🙏🙏🙏🙏 Justin, you are a treasure.
You sing the song very intensiv, like a working class hero. Like it right feeling for this song the guitar work is not a big competition for me. It´s song where the message counts like Dylan Blowing in the word etc.
This is a complicated song, to learn on guitar. Justin has lovely voice especially when he forgets he is singing.
Justin, thank you for putting in so much time and effort into your website for all of us aspiring guitar players to have a place that covers every aspect and teaches us. Not just to play covers, but everything with guitar. I will be making a donation as soon as I can. We need you to keep spreading this gift to the world. I love to play guitar and it is a wonderful skill. Whatever age I live to, I will not put it down.
Great lesson. Your performance has not faded over the years. Many thanks.
"Till the A-minor so big that you feel G at all." !! Justin you are the best !!
fantastic, thanks so much, your really helping me learn this guitar!.... best tutorials i have found on the net, keep up the great work... difficult strumming this one, but getting there! :)
Incredibly good lesson! Excelent quality and teaching
Awritey Justin!
I'm just picking up a guitar for the first time (5 weeks!),
finding it hard to play,
but 5 mins with you & I'm almost playing my fav Lennon song!!
thanx for loading it sir!!
D.T.
i like how you play the song at the end...... lets me work towards a finished product by practising along
Thanks Justin.
You have a great voice.
Hi Justin. Been playing the same few tracks for years just for fun. Now that I'm living in a new country i bought a cheap guitar and started from the very beginning on your course. So helpful, especially with finger placement! Thank you so much! My callouses are back lol
I’ve been following your tutorials for years now and I’ve improved so much because of you. Lennon is my favourite musician and you put passion into your cover. Always thumb back to Justin if I need help👌
Despite this being a relatively easy song i am struggling with that putting the finger on the D string and keeping time....practice makes perfect so they say.....thanks Justin.
Excellent Justin !! I’m fallowing your instructions more frequently !! Wonderful !!
This is the best guitar instructor on UA-cam and internet !!
Acoustic guitar! Lennon and Cash with the hammer notes
Thank you Justin. 💓🎶
Listen carefully to the lyrics and hear the message John had for you.
Steve Hoffmann indeed, this song has much bigger poetical value than the music in it - and the most of the other Lennon songs too
I can hear it, "You should hit women and children". Very strong messeage
@@mateocalabrese3546 john is still better than your father
@@mateocalabrese3546 he only did they once
@@johnnymoondogs1816 maybe, he was a great father (to one of his kids) you can really hear the true fatherly love he had in beautiful boy, a song he wrote about how much he loved his son, which must have hurt the one he was totally neglecting
That was great. Thank you so much for this lesson. Also appreciate you playing it all the way through with vocals.
I came for the lesson, stayed for the performance. Very good.
A definite contender for the greatest song ever written
So far (I'm about to start stage 6) my absolute favorite. All of the lessons are full of passion, energy, motivating and make you feel committed despite it's just an online course. Simply great! You just have to love this guy. But this song I like better than the original; he just brings across the suffering and frustration so perfectly, it hurts listening and watching. Feel I need to comfort and hug him :-) and fits perfect to his voice...
Rock on, Justin!
My all time favourite song. Nice performance.
Deep respect for Justin, and of cours, John Lennon rip
Lov you Justin. Your just the fucking shit man. Been playing on and off for about 8 years now and you have taught me more than 75% of the things I know and everytime I get in a rut you ALWAYS bring me back up. Please take care of yourself my brother.💪
Granted, it's a simple song but this is everything one could possibly ask for from a tutorial. I couldn't criticize this if I tried. Well done, sir.
Thanks Justin really nice of you to share your talent and help others
I love the way you sing the chords. lol
@Heidar95 There are many variations of the G-chord, but you are correct. I am not sure what the official name is for that chord but it's still a G because that is the root (top-most) note.
You are the best guitar teacher ever. Thanks.
ugh, such a great song to learn and so easy. feels great playin this one. thanks for all the great lessons. been playing just over a month and learned like 20 songs already.
Great lesson as always. But also great singing - really good. Didn't really know this song previously, but I'm now feeling soo much better about being a peasant!
Love this song,I've just bought a faith Neptune & this is on my list to play on that
Dear Justin!!!! Good work. You are a great musician and a good teacher too. 😍 I love the way you sing it too. I think you should sing more. You have a great voice. Lennon should be happy to hear your singing his song and salute you the same as I do. 😍
Great lesson and cover. Didn't really think much of this tune before but when listening more closely to the lyrics in your cover and understanding how to play it has given me a greater appreciation for it as often is the case when I learn songs. Thanks for being a part of that realization Justin, you're the man!
justin your the man ! thanks i was playing around with guitar and came up with this sound and name of song came to me then i found you and it helped much better ! your video is most informative i have found ! thank you much for your cotribution !
a song without a solo and full of feelings
Love this thankyou and you are helping me learn heaps. Just started a few weeks ago and I'm so keen
A great tutorial and a fantastic performance! Thank you, I'll get practicing!
Very Nice. I reckon John would have loved this cover version, lots of cover versions of this number for years decades, thank you. Nice upload.
from all of us working class heroes, cheers !...............you are something to be.
@322RedBaron
From what I can see he's muting the fifth string with his pointer finger along with holding down the g note with it. He's keeping his thumb on the low E string because it's muting for the Amin chord.
i just got a guitar never picked one up before till now, & you're awesome at teaching so ty :)
I love the emotion in this song, thanx Justin
Justin, great rendition of the song. Like it as much as John's. I was 18 when this came out. First time I ever heard the F-word in a song. Great memory, great lesson! Thanks! Big Dan
Thank you!! Beautiful played. I'm Russian, but I love great song,notably John Lennon and him vocal. And you beautiful vocal!! Thanks man!
Oh my god. The end of that lesson was a religious experience for me. Thanks.
Ill be putting a good five hours into this song and re-running this vid a hundred times today. Thanks for the awesome vid brother. From Chris in South Carolina USA
Awesome job and even better that you didn't censor this classic
@Milaber I was thinking in the 2nd fret A string too, thanks!
Hey Justin,
Thank you so much for posting this lesson. I have been watching your lessons for several years now and really enjoy them. I showed this lesson to my guitar instructor and he loved it two, so much in fact we did two or three lessons on this song. I think I am finally gettting the hang of this song. In a few weeks when I am a little better playing this song do you mind if I send you a video of my playing and singing this. I would love to see what you think. Thanks for posting this.
I like to have someone show me things, I just learn that much faster. This really helped. Thanks for taking the time!
Thank u so much. Im a pretty good guitar player but i kept losing tht rhythm! This was a great way to remember it!
Tell you what Justin I can see you enjoyed playing that well done keep up the working class guitar lessons you have improved my stubby finger playing cheers
Wow. Great performance with the song at the end. Thanks.
Great performance Justin ...I can see the song means a lot to you ...Thanks for the lesson too
Thanks Justin for the directions ! I play it a lot better now.
Great dynamics in the full song.
I want to be a “working class hero” hero, so I will just follow Justin.
Wow...this is another awesome lesson. Thank you very much Justin 🖖
Dude, the performance at the end... So passionate!
Best Guitar stuff Online.
i like this gutair lesson straight to the point and easy to understand and play
Much better than the other UA-cam guitar teachers out there. Good job
Very good tutoring, thank you very, very much Justin.
