I played bass guitar in a band covering this song 14 years ago. I was in awe of our lead guitar player in this intro. I really thought it was beyond my skills to play. Your lesson has proved otherwise. Thank you 😊
I am a part of another group of guitar beginers again . After our practice session yesterday we agreed to go out for brunch . At the brunch the conversation changed many times of course . One of our peeps in this particular group ( a 70 something year old retired lady school teacher ) wanted to source a tutorial for Brown Eyed Girl. I verbally passed along your channel. Then i played your vid for Brown Eyed Girl for her in the restaurant later after we were just sitting chatting away . She mildly exclaimed , "Oh i have seen her" 😁 ! She doesn't do much internet apparently. Granted she is in her 70's . So just to be sure she goes over the video , i E mailed her the link to your video for Brown Eyed Girl 😁😁 If it is not already a credential , you can add musical therapy for seniors to the list today . 😊
This is so wonderful, thank you for sharing my lessons with other fellow guitarists 🙏🎵 such a lovely story to read! It made my day, really happy to be able to share my love and passion for music with so many people worldwide 🙏 and what a lovely comment at the end of your message about music therapy 🙏🎵 much appreciated!
Hello! 😃 wow, thank you so much for your kind message! I am so pleased to hear that you found my lesson clear and easy to follow along to as a beginner 🎶⭐️ well done and keep going! 🎸
very well covered. I loved the fact I understood the into riff that sounds great and having the alternate of chords for intro. The diagrams throughout the video were clear and coherent especially the finale when playing the whole song. Thank you
I just love your lessons you make everything so much more easier to understand .Your lessons are better than some of the one on one lessons I have had.The key to you is your not just a great guitar player but you know how to teach .Some people can play fantastic at guitar but they don't have the skill to teach it.Thank you for your lessons.
I absolutely loved playing along with you. Im so glad to finally be playing full songs and sounding not too shabby. Thanks for this lesson. I love your bubbly personality and videos and love how you respond to your comments. Wishing you the best blessings and happiness
Hi Michael 😊 thank you so much! Your message made my day, thank you for being so kind and spreading positivity and kindness on my channel ✨🙏 I’m also very happy my lessons are so helpful!
Some of the comments prove you can't please everybody all the time. I've been playing for 40 plus years and think your instructive style is brilliant for newbies (the target audience).
Hi Douglas, yeah - can’t win everyone over with my teaching skills it seems 😂 there’s always going to be someone who complains 🤷🏻♀️ I really appreciate your kindness and positive feedback! I’m all about being kind and sharing positive energy here on my channel so thanks for being part of that!
Your method for playing the 4th bar of the intro is the third way I've learned it. I like it best! There's something to be said for economy of motion. ;)
Another awesome lesson! 👏👏👏 It’s people like you that make music enjoyable and life worth living. I am a recent subscriber and I am so thankful I came across your channel. 🥰🥰🥰
Back when I was first learning to play, I would have loved to have found a teacher like this! I have to add though, I would have had trouble concentrating as this woman is gorgeous !
Hi Schalk! 😃 Wooo hoooo YESS a challenging song for sure (especially that picking part!). Hope you have had a lekker start to the year- My hubby and I are going to watch Schalk Bezuidenhout (the other Schalk 😜) comedy night next weekend here in Dubai. So excited!
Happy to hear another truly great lesson. I am able to play several great songs due to your lessons which are fun and effective. Keep a Rockin 🎸 I highly recommend to anyone who is looking for great teacher to let Amber show you the way.
Hi Aaron 😊 Wow, what a lovely message to receive! I really appreciate your kind words, super encouraging 🤗 🎵 I'm also glad that you enjoyed the lesson!
Great lesson! You should note you really need a cutout guitar to play the intro that high up. There are some variations out there that don't require one.
Good demo. I've loved that song for decades. I never attempted that guitar solo, but you showed how easy it is. Thanks. I'll be adding that to my song list. The la la chorus gets everyone singing alone. I'm going to learn that cool bass solo. I've always loved that too. How many songs have a cool bass solo? My Martin D-18 doesn't have a cutaway like your Taylor.
Hello Mike 😃 thank you so much for your kind words 🙏 I am so happy you enjoyed my tutorial! Thanks so much for tuning in and for taking the time to comment 🎵
Yay I'm so glad that you enjoyed this lesson! 😁 Thanks so much for tuning in! ❤️ Yikes... sounds COLD!!! ❄️ Luckily you have your guitar to keep your fingers warm 🎵
I enjoyed your lesson very much. Very well put together and it covered all different sections of the song. You have a real knack for teaching guitar that really keeps my attention. I will be Subscribing to your channel. I will be adding this song to my playlist.
Hello! Yes it is an old song, but it’s super cool and very catchy 😊🌟 the picking is also very pleasing to listen to- a bit more difficult to play though! 😅 thank you for such a kind comment, I’m so glad my tutorial has been helpful and introduced you to a new song!
I enjoyed your video and so sorry for any derogatory comments from these so called experts. You keep it going. Many wish they had their own channel. I subscribed and like your tutorial. This is the 1st time seeing you and look forward to more of you.
Ahh thanks so much, comments like this mean so much to me 🎶🙏 yeah the nasty comments always make me wonder who raised these sort of people 😮 I’ll keep going, thank you SO much for the encouragement and support!! Absolutely love what I do and appreciate kindhearted people like you 🙏😊
@@thestellarguitarist You have many big brothers on here . Not to mention all of us that agree on your system . Ironically , I think we are all happy that your views / numbers speak the way they do , so that you present your tutorial format the way that you do . Obviously of course lol ! Speaking of which ... I personally know a 20 year old young lady here where I am that is in university for Musical Therapy. She has not decided yet what area she wants to do ( kids / seniors / disabilities/ etc etc ) but the fun fact I am pointing out is that she teaches her regular adult students the same way you do . I have sat in on her lesson and the first thing that came to mind was that you both have quite similar methodology . She is doing an indepth intermediate guitar session this spring which has piqued my interest simply because I may have her instruct me on violin .... just an interest thing I have always thought about doing , but did not want to get into stuffy violin lessons . Not certain if I am going to go through with it .... time will tell. If I do , I am likely to rent the instrument only . Anyway , as always, I am passing along your channel.
Interesting! I almost studied music therapy back in university. I ended up doing a music degree and 3 years of psych, plus a teaching diploma. Now I love teaching 🎵thanks for always supporting my channel, means so much 🙏⭐️
Another great lesson Amber... Do you perhaps have the chord sheets that you show on screen during the playthrough available for download somewhere? also, my next song suggestion is "Let her cry" by Hootie and the Blowfish
Hello! 😃Great, glad you enjoyed the lesson! I only provide the chords/lyrics/TABS for all the Stellar Academy students who enroll for my program. You Can check the course out here! thestellarguitarist.com/thestellaracademy Once inside the course, you receive the song sheets each week when I release the song on RUclips. 😊 And I've taken note of your song request too 😎
The only tough thing about this song is that it requires us to play so high up on the neck! Not the most comfortable thing to do 🙈🙈🙈 but well done for trying Dave 👏🏻 🎶🎸😎
ah man! i was trying to learn that intro that you do while playing the chords. Just could not see what strings, finges, etc, you were playing. Duh! Finally realized the riff was played on another track. At anyrate, it makes a nice intro--don't have a cut away guitar...
Hi Charles 😊 yeah the riff and chords are played by two different guitars. Most songs have multiple guitars playing by different parts! So that’s a good thing to keep in mind when playing and learning songs 🎵
@@thestellarguitarist I'm a finger picking kind a guy and it is easy to play the riff...working on that bass part and all the other tasty riffs....take care chere
Hey Roger! Would you mind sending me a screenshot of the issue or page that pops up to say it’s broken ? You can send the email to amber@thestellarguitarist.com that will help me out a lot to fix the problem thanks 🙏
Try using 1st and 2nd fingers together to strum..and pretend your holding a pick. Its a very natural sound. The second finger will help with the upstroke
Great advice already given! Yep, pinching your thumb and index finger together as if you are holding a pick is what I often do if I don’t want to use a pick or am alternating between finger picking and strumming. 🎶
I would tremendously appreciate some ""new country"" .... I can't think of anything specifically..... anything from the last 20 years ish . I think the first tutorial of yours that I ever watched was Brian Adam's Summer of '69 ! That hooked me for apparent reasons of Brian being a B.C. boy ! Of course I love his music too !
I'm an older player, but I also have somewhat larger hands than average (I suppose). Which guitar would your recommend that has a larger nut? I'm pretty certain I need something (for comfort and ease) larger than 1.75" (I'm guessing. Is there a guitar you'd recommend with something like a 1.80" nut? I don't want a classical guitar if I can avoid it, and I'd appreciate whatever you could tell/advise me.@@thestellarguitarist
Hi! I think that choosing a guitar is such a personal decision. If you are looking for a wider neck, then a classical guitar would be the obvious choice, but I know you have said you want to avoid a classical guitar which is understandable for the style of music you probably want to play is more contemporary stuff. My advice to anyone when they ask about which guitar I recommend: I always say you need to play as many as you can in the store. Feel the weight/size hear the sound/tone. All important factors. I’m sorry I can’t be more helpful! Maybe go and spend some time in your local guitar store and get a feel for what you’re looking for 🎶🎸
This is how the original song is played, sorry that it frustrates you 🤷🏻♀️ technically you can play this on a guitar without a cutaway, it’s just not as comfortable. Good luck!
@@thestellarguitarist Everything is frustrating for me right now. Ive been hacking at learning this guitar for years now. This song looked so promising until this little snag. Oh well, not your fault. Thanks for the encouragement.
@@pathfinder1273 I’m sorry to hear you are feeling so frustrated 😣 in all honesty, the intro riff to this song is not easy to play at all! Playing the guitar should be fun and relaxing 😌 so I’d 100% suggest not getting down by what you are struggling to do and find a song that you will be able to play! Tomorrow I’m releasing a really nice lesson, I think you will love it! 🙌🎶

Loved this tutorial! Can’t wait to practice it
Glad you loved the tutorial! 😃🎸 have fun!!
こんにちは、Amberさん。この曲は初めて聴きました。だいぶ昔の曲ですが、かっこいい曲ですね。解説の最初の部分、ピッキングの所の6番目から8番目の音が少し意外性の感じがする音色なのがいいですね。そのためか切ない感じがします。知らない曲なので原曲も聴いてみましたが、むしろAmberさんのバージョンの方がいいかも。軽く歌ってますね。素敵な曲に巡り会わせてくれてありがとう。
Hello! Yes it is an old song, but it’s super cool and very catchy 😊🌟 the picking is also very pleasing to listen to- a bit more difficult to play though! 😅 thank you for such a kind comment, I’m so glad my tutorial has been helpful and introduced you to a new song!

What model Taylor is that?
Hi! It’s my beautiful Taylor 214ce deluxe
Hi there. The link to your lesson site seems to be broken.
Hey Roger! Would you mind sending me a screenshot of the issue or page that pops up to say it’s broken ? You can send the email to amber@thestellarguitarist.com that will help me out a lot to fix the problem thanks 🙏
My pinkie has a mind of its own 😂 Is it necessary to use a pick? I’m coming from a ukulele background and am really struggling with using one.
Try using 1st and 2nd fingers together to strum..and pretend your holding a pick. Its a very natural sound. The second finger will help with the upstroke
For strumming, the pick on its way is more for volume
Great advice already given! Yep, pinching your thumb and index finger together as if you are holding a pick is what I often do if I don’t want to use a pick or am alternating between finger picking and strumming. 🎶
Hi , I like your videos and have a question. Do you have atoutorial of Island in the stream by Kenny Rogers?
At the moment I don’t, but I did do a short. You can check it out here: ruclips.net/user/shortsQba4b1GQqgA?si=AJkW9XTUWGIyrN5p
I would tremendously appreciate some
""new country"" .... I can't think of anything specifically..... anything from the last 20 years ish .
I think the first tutorial of yours that I ever watched was Brian Adam's Summer of '69 !
That hooked me for apparent reasons of Brian being a B.C. boy ! Of course I love his music too !

If you are looking for a wider neck, then a classical guitar would be the obvious choice, but I know you have said you want to avoid a classical guitar which is understandable for the style of music you probably want to play is more contemporary stuff. My advice to anyone when they ask about which guitar I recommend: I always say you need to play as many as you can in the store. Feel the weight/size hear the sound/tone. All important factors. I’m sorry I can’t be more helpful! Maybe go and spend some time in your local guitar store and get a feel for what you’re looking for 🎶🎸

So what am I supposed to do if I dont have a cutaway guitar for the 12, 13, 15 part??? So much for "goodbye to frustration and hello to fun"!
This is how the original song is played, sorry that it frustrates you 🤷🏻♀️ technically you can play this on a guitar without a cutaway, it’s just not as comfortable. Good luck!
@@thestellarguitarist Everything is frustrating for me right now. Ive been hacking at learning this guitar for years now. This song looked so promising until this little snag. Oh well, not your fault. Thanks for the encouragement.
@@pathfinder1273 I’m sorry to hear you are feeling so frustrated 😣 in all honesty, the intro riff to this song is not easy to play at all! Playing the guitar should be fun and relaxing 😌 so I’d 100% suggest not getting down by what you are struggling to do and find a song that you will be able to play! Tomorrow I’m releasing a really nice lesson, I think you will love it! 🙌🎶
First record I ever owned, little flexible 45. I was 6, I think
Such special memories 🤗🙏🎸
nice , like it.....
Thank you so much! I’m glad you liked my lesson 🎸🎶
