Jamie Anderson Thanks for this lesson very refreshing positive happpy lovely smooth delish us , lesson Wonderful keep up the Great guitar lessons .😎👍🕊✌️💖👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Thanks so much Jamie for your generosity in providing guitar information and lessons. I've just picked up the guitar at the age of 75 and I'm enjoying it very much - getting close to actually playing a song. :-) I appreciate very much your advice here and elsewhere about taking each step/part, e.g., chords, strumming, changing chords, humming/imagining words first, very slowly and not trying to learn/practice everything at once to start. I noticed in this lesson that you seem to be generally changing chords during the last "&" or UP of each measure. Am I seeing that right? Hope you are having a great day.
You are wonderful and a refreshingly uplifting walk through the door! Wait -- does that make sense? LOL Well, it's all good stuff at any rate. Thanks for the sweet lesson Jamie!
Jamie I just found your channel, love it. I have a question? I know several chords but my problem is that I have never understood strumming patterns would ukulele be the same or do you do patterns on lap dulcimer as well. I think picking doesn't get me as confused as the strumming all DDDU, DDDUUUDU I lose where I am at any suggestions? is there any instrument you just pick the notes without strumming.
Strumming is the same no matter what chording instrument you're playing. If you stick with one strum pattern, you should be okay. I talk more about strumming here: ruclips.net/video/RZYbckQqIEc/видео.html
I strum the DDU UDU once for each chord but on the chord chart there are varying gaps between the chords so I figure I'm doing something wrong (as i dont understand what a measure is) - what do those varying gaps mean? Am I changing chords in the wrong place? Chord charts do not explain this & I av no idea how to read them.. anybody help explain plz? What do those varying gap lengths mean & where should I be changing chords.. or am I actually doing it right with DDU UDU for each chord & the differently spaced gaps mean nothing???? Aaarrgghh this has been doing my head in on so many RUclips chord charts & tutes, will I ever understand them?
You still play a full strum pattern for each chord except where noted (the D at the start of the chorus). The chord names are different spaces apart because that's how the words are sung. Some measures have more words than others.
Great song but I still couldn't keep up- eek! Plz what is s "measure"? Lost me on that! I'm struggling to see/hear/figure out exactly where the chord changes are in relation to the strumming (or at what part of the strumming). This really stops me learning every time I look at any RUclips vid tute!
@@JamieAndersonMusic thanks, will try to get my thick head around this! So DDU DDU is 4 beats in this song but how do I figure the beats/measure out in other songs/RUclips tutes?
@@61cheezil Most songs are in 4/4 so the same strum pattern will work for all of them. A few are in 3/4 and for those, try DDDU. There are other time signatures, of course. Learning to read music would help you with time signatures.
No more Van Morrison, I'm from London not interested in an artist who has protest songs against the proposed lockdowns in the UK to deal with COVID-19. How about a fingerstyle lesson for the melody of Golden Slumbers by a real artist Mr Paul McCartney.
@@JamieAndersonMusic Apologies in the midst of my political rant I forgot to mention that your lesson on Dylan's Knocking on Heaven's Door is by far the best tutorial ever on this song.
@@JamieAndersonMusic I happen to love this song & really want to learn it, politics means nothing to me, this song was written long before Covid & is a great song! Leave politics out of it, don't need that shadowing a great song, regardless of Van Morrison's views
This is the way guitar should be taught to beginners. The graphics, the pace, the straight forward clarity are all on point. Thanks for help!

Glad you're enjoying the lessons. Sometimes I change chords partway through the last "up" of the chord. Lots of people do. :)
Another excellent lesson Jamie!👍❤
Thanks, Anthony.

In this song, a measure is four beats. As long as you're playing one strum pattern for each chord (except where noted) you're good.

I get a lot of requests for this song. Thanks for letting me know about his politics. Thanks for suggesting Golden Slumbers.
