    Be-a-u-ti-ful! Best tutorial - I picked it up in minutes - been buzzing for 2 days straight! Have loved this song for 35 years and to suddenly be able to play and sing it at 50 is like some kind of re-birth! Thanks so much.

    I started playing about a year ago and immediately searched for this - my all-time favorite song (after Anthem). I couldn't play it then (couldn't make a Bm) but happy to be back in 2020, and your tutorial breaks it down in a way that is very easy to follow for me now. Thanks so much.

    nice. a tip if you find the A-Bm change tricky is to start the verse (playing A chord) with your middle finger playing the B string, your little finger on the G string, ring - D, then you just slide up to the Bm position and drop in a barre. whatever works, right?

    I like to change up the strumming, too. I get all rhythmic and such! BUM CHUGGA BUM-BUM-BUM-BUM/BUM CHUGGA CHUGGA BUM-BUM BUM!!! Oh, and the little kids singing in the background of the track lift my spirit! Makes me feel like it's my birthday party, ya know?!

    I'm having trouble synching up voice and strumming at "to laugh - and cry - and cry - and laugh - about it all again." Laugh (E - Esus4) - then E - E7 - then again - E - Esus4. Could you please play for us the chorus - voice and strumming - as well as at least the first stanza ?

    Q: What is your definition of a "bar Chord" ?

    • @Radagast-
      @Radagast- 7 років тому

      I'm not sure I properly understand your question, but... A barre chord is one where you have to use your first finger to "bar" (or "barre"), all six strings, in order to change the key. The other three fingers then form the chord. See how Jen forms F#min... Imagine if she keeps the chord shape, but moves her left hand one fret towards the nut of the guitar - she'll be making Fmin. Alternatively, imagine that she moves her hand one fret away from the nut - she'll be making Gmin.

    • @BillTakats
      @BillTakats 7 років тому

      Thx. It's a "fretted" chord I call it.

    Hi. You explain strumming in a lot of detail. Forgive me for bringing it up, but you forgot to sing at least one verse of this song. I watched till the end because I would have liked to hear it sung with a folk guitar now that you showed the chords.
