  • Learn how to play "Somebody I Used to Know" by Goyte! This song was featured in my "TEN Songs You ONLY Need THREE CHORDS For!!" video and was the most requested song to make a tutorial for, so I did just that!
    "Stay With Me" by Sam Smith was also highly requested along with "Three Little Birds" and "Just the Way You Are" so those will be coming out shortly!
    "Dreams" by Fleetwood Mac and "Truth Hurts" by Lizzo were also highly requested, but GUESS WHAT?? I ALREADY have tutorials for those songs :)

    • @CoryTeachesMusic
      @CoryTeachesMusic  3 года назад +5

      It’s probably because you are not squeezing or pressing hard enough. If you place your fingers on the frets to make a chord, if contact isn’t made between the string and the fretboard you will mute the strings not change the length so the pitches change and therefore a new chord is made. Press harder and see if that fixes it. If it doesn’t let me know and we’ll move from there.

    @user-zq8bd7uh1r 3 года назад

    Hey Cory, wow if people really pay attention to this video there is a wealth of information in it. At first it just looks like another beginners video which to a certain extent maybe it is but, you turned what most of the other youtubers keep at two chords most drop the f. Then you throw plucking into the song and take the time to explain the pitches,you actually made a tutorial for someone that could have just started playing and you threw these other things in there that are for maybe intermediate players. I mean you cover everything from plucking ,to different strumming patterns, to changing chords a little faster, and chucking and the best thing is you explain why you're doing what you're doing. This tutorial is a lot deeper than it seems at first,and it's up to the individual players to decide which way to use it.
    Personally I don't exactly love this song but I know if I follow everything in this video step by step and practice it till I could I feel I Could play it blindfolded it will go a long way in my learning experience. Great job thank you very much.

    • @CoryTeachesMusic

      You might want to consider trying a tenor ukulele! The frets are a little wider and that might help you! Also, make sure you you are keeping your thumb positioned behind the fret board and wrist pointed up (so coming down on the chords). That will make things easier!

    Now and then I think of when we were together
    Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
    Told myself that you were right for me
    But felt so lonely in your company
    But that was love and it's an ache I still remember
    You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
    Like resignation to the end, always the end
    So when we found that we could not make sense
    Well, you said that we would still be friends
    But I'll admit that I was glad that it was over
    But you didn't have to cut me off
    Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
    And I don't even need your love
    But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough
    No, you didn't have to stoop so low
    Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
    I guess that I don't need that though
    Now you're just somebody that I used to know
    Now you're just somebody that I used to know
    Now you're just somebody that I used to know
    Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
    But had me believing it was always something that I'd done
    But I don't wanna live that way
    Reading into every word you say
    You said that you could let it go
    And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know
    But you didn't have to cut me off
    Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
    And I don't even need your love
    But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough
    No, you didn't have to stoop so low
    Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
    I guess that I don't need that though
    Now you're just somebody that I used to know
    Somebody (I used to know)
    Somebody (Now you're just somebody that I used to know)
    Somebody (I used to know)
    Somebody (Now you're just somebody that I used to know)
    I used to know
    That I used to know
    I used to know
    Somebody

    • @CoryTeachesMusic

      It’s good to continue the progression incase you accidentally play the wrong note, if you are in the Am position then you will at least pluck another pitch that is still in the chord.

    Hi Cory, thank you very much for your tutorials, they are a huge help for beginners like me! I'm finally making some progress, but I'm still struggling with the strumming pattern of the chorus of this song. I tried so hard to figure it out by myself but I have to ask if I'm doing it correctly. Let's take the first line of the chorus. Is it something like this?
    DD UUD DD UUD
    Am G F G
    ...I made a mess, didn't I?
    Thank you and keep up the great work :)

    • @CoryTeachesMusic
      @CoryTeachesMusic  2 года назад +1

      The patterns in this song are basically the island strum (D DU UDU) and a variation where you drop that last U. The tricky part is that you are changing chords in the middle of the pattern sometimes. Practice the pattern and get really comfortable with the chords (you should not be looking at the charts when playing) and then do both together. This may take time, but if you use a slower tempo that can help when putting everything together.
      So what you have written out is correct, but it might end up throwing you off of playing. Instead rewrite it with the pattern being the constant and the chords are what are a variable. Like this:
      D DU UD D DU UD
      Am G F G

    I’m really frustrated because you don’t tell is how to do the chorus!

      Hi! I go through the strumming pattern from 5:57-7:20 in the instruction part of the video. The picking is for the verses and the strumming is for the chorus.

    I swear to god its impossible for me to work an instrument. No matter what I cant strum without getting my fingers caught and even when following instructions to the letter it just sounds nothing like what im hearing

      Make sure you have the chords master first. Like you can play them without looking and then do the same with the strumming. Work in small chunks of 10-15 minutes at a time no longer. Over time it will get easier!
