    Justin I don't know how often you look at these comments but i play professionally here in the Philly area. I have always loved Your Song but had a mental jack about learning it, until now. Your lesson was great I had it in a couple of hours and will add it to my song list. Much Thanks Dave

    Chorus lyrics : 9:40
    You can tell B minor, that this is your G - it might be B minor, but now that it's G, I hope you don't mind , B minor with an A-base, G sharp minor 7 flat 5 going to a G6

    Thank you!! You are the master!! We bow to your sir Lol
    For an added eargasmic sound fellas: just as you switch to that C# minor at the 3:45 mark, do a hammer on from the B note (second fret 5th string) to the C# note (fourth fret 5th string) and immediately after, play that 4th note on the second fret (which happens to be your fourth on that C# minor).

    @ToddAllen1 11 років тому +1

    Nice arrangement, Justin. I am not a singer, but I try. I was able to match the key of a recording of this song I found on UA-cam by placing a capo on the 1st fret. I'm quite sure you are aware of this. But if anyone is interested in playing/ singing while listening to the recording....

    "A few little tricky bits" - mmmmm?
    I have now learned this song but not only is it a bit tricky, you also need a strong left hand / wrist. And the F#/A# was new to me. Took some getting used to especially as I have small hands.
    Thanks to you Justin, I persevered and now have better technique as well as another song under my fingers.

    @samsonito 9 років тому

    Thanks for the lesson. I enjoy them very much. If you put a capo on the 2nd fret it turns into a really easy first position song transposing the chords you play. The only barre chord would be the 3rd chord of the intro where you need the d note. Much easier for a beginner or someone not yet at your talent level. Keep up the good work.

    Thank You Very much. Altough its a Very known song, I discovered It recently, and ran to UA-cam to learn How to play It. Your video helped me a lot.
    Ps: Your way to speak the notes remind me of Paul McCartney, on that Yesterdar version, with him speaking on the beginning of the record.
