Absolutely, with this quarantine, I really wanted to provide a good sing along for all levels. This is a good opportunity for beginners to pick up some foundational techniques, while also learning something recognizable. I have another beginner-intermediate level tune coming this weekend - Elvis Presley's "Lover Doll."
I'm 39 and my dad sang this to me as a boy. I have a resting heart rate of 61 while sleeping. When this song is playing in the background it drops to 55 bpm. My dad's been gone for 11 years. Keep up the good work sir your kid will carry you with her for her whole life.
The other night dear, as I lay sleeping I dreamed I held you in my arms But when I awoke, dear, I was mistaken So I hung my head and I cried. You are my sunshine, my only sunshine You make me happy when skies are gray You'll never know dear, how much I love you Please don't take my sunshine away I'll always love you and make you happy, If you will only say the same. But if you leave me and love another, You'll regret it all some day: You are my sunshine, my only sunshine You make me happy when skies are gray You'll never know dear, how much I love you Please don't take my sunshine away You told me once, dear, you really loved me And no one else could come between. But not you've left me and love another; You have shattered all of my dreams: You are my sunshine, my only sunshine You make me happy when skies are gray You'll never know dear, how much I love you Please don't take my sunshine away In all my dreams, dear, you seem to leave me When I awake my poor heart pains. So when you come back and make me happy I'll forgive you dear, I'll take all the blame. You are my sunshine, my only sunshine You make me happy when skies are gray You'll never know dear, how much I love you Please don't take my sunshine away
This song my grandmother sung to me when I was a kid. This song always remind me of her. Sadly she passed away not too long ago so this song always reminds me of her.❤️ thanks for this tutorial
I'm sorry for your loss. When I was a baby my mom used to sing this to me all the time, and it's forever engrained in my mind. Last Christmas we got each other gifts relating to the song. She got me a morse code bracelet saying "You are my sunshine," and I got her a small music box with the medley.
@@Mercur1onus that is so sweet, when my grandmother passed it reminded me we don't have unlimited time with the people we love and time does go too quick. Now I think of all the fun memories of her.
@@rickyprisbrey I fully agree. I can't imagine a world without my grandparents, and I'm scared what my life will be like without them. So I'm glad that, even thought they speak a different language, I have spent time that I'll forever remember with them.
@@Mercur1onus i feel like people take time for granted. im glad you still spend time with them. make every moment last an eternity you never know how much time they have left. have a good night.
@@Janeseakanesi I keep at it and I can struggle threw the picking of the melody now, I added a few pull offs which for some reason made it seem easier. I play the melody at the beginning and then twice at the end, once with signing (I found that kinda makes it easier too, helps me remember the way it should go). I strum this completely different than him... I pick the A chord and strum down with the back of my fingers and then pick the D chord and strum up with my thumb. It sounds pretty cool. It's different, I changed the words too 😂 I'm a beginner and I couldn't do that to this beautiful song 😂😇 I suggest playing around with this and creating your own sound ❤️
The other night, dear As I lay sleeping I dreamed I held you, in my arms When I awoke, dear I was mistaken So I hung my head and I cried You are my sunshine My only sunshine You make me happy When skies are gray You'll never know, dear How much I love you Please don't take my sunshine away I'll always love you And make you happy And nothing else could come between But if you leave me to allow another You'll have shattered all of my dreams You are my sunshine My only sunshine You make me happy When skies are gray You'll never know, dear How much I love you Please don't take my sunshine away
Friend, I love how you sing and play the guitar, the truth that inspired me to continue with music and dedicate more time to it, keep it up and you will go far, a warm greeting from Argentina
Thanks, man! What a help! I got it so quickly after listening to the Petersens band and being inspired to actually PLAY this damn thing of mine after trying to play it a few years ago and NOT grasping it

Hi! Great lesson, thank you! Could you share what Faith guitar is this? I am looking at getting one from them, but this almost looks like a custom build since it seems to have some stuff from multiple models? I haven't seen fret dot inlays on any of their guitars either, did you add them yourself? Thanks!

@@swiftlessons And that is amazing to hear man. Stay safe amidst these hard times, and thank ye for another lesson!
Wanted to learn the song so I can learn to play, and started crying when you started singing.. also you play and sing nicely
I'm 39 and my dad sang this to me as a boy. I have a resting heart rate of 61 while sleeping. When this song is playing in the background it drops to 55 bpm. My dad's been gone for 11 years. Keep up the good work sir your kid will carry you with her for her whole life.
I hear that. I didn’t expect this guy to have such a wonderful voice. Nice surprise
A very comprehensive lesson! Very effective style of guitar tutorial. Simple to understand. Thank you so much. Looking forward to more songs!
The other night dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms
But when I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
So I hung my head and I cried.
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away
I'll always love you and make you happy,
If you will only say the same.
But if you leave me and love another,
You'll regret it all some day:
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away
You told me once, dear, you really loved me
And no one else could come between.
But not you've left me and love another;
You have shattered all of my dreams:
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away
In all my dreams, dear, you seem to leave me
When I awake my poor heart pains.
So when you come back and make me happy
I'll forgive you dear, I'll take all the blame.
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away

Hi, my teacher.
Thank you so much!
Jesus I'm a huge fan of you
Thanks Kori!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Omg
Haha 👍
Not only guitar lesson you have a great voice ❤️
Maybe I'm just super beginner (playing for about a year) but I found this to be exceedingly challenging. The way you play it is absolutely beautiful.
I agree. As a beginner, this seems too advanced. Looking for a simpler tutorial for learning how to pick the melody.
@@Janeseakanesi I keep at it and I can struggle threw the picking of the melody now, I added a few pull offs which for some reason made it seem easier. I play the melody at the beginning and then twice at the end, once with signing (I found that kinda makes it easier too, helps me remember the way it should go).

@@BlkHwkDwn63 Thank you
Love the the way you sing before the tutorial.
I sing this song every night to my daughter at bedtime.
And this is a real parent here guys
I do the same with my girls. I just have to say " my sunshines" lol
Your playing is brilliant, Rob and your voice too.
The other night, dear
As I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you, in my arms
When I awoke, dear
I was mistaken
So I hung my head and I cried
You are my sunshine
My only sunshine
You make me happy
When skies are gray
You'll never know, dear
How much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away
I'll always love you
And make you happy
And nothing else could come between
But if you leave me to allow another
You'll have shattered all of my dreams
You are my sunshine
My only sunshine
You make me happy
When skies are gray
You'll never know, dear
How much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away
A fan of yours in confinement...
Thanks for staying safe, Rob! 🎵🎵🎵
