I came across this site as I continue to practice and there sitting in the foreground was one of Mr. Urbans guitars that had been offered in a package. "The Player". To make a short story long, I lost the tip of my middle fret finger as well as my fret index finger some 25 years ago. Two years ago my wife surprised me with a traveling Martin Backpacker guitar to try. I was watching a Willie Nelson documentary when he was asked who was his inspiration? He replied Django Rhinehart. Because he played on two fingers. And at five years old Willie decided if Django could play that good on two fingers surely he could play on five. So I took up guitar again and it has become a constant daily passion for the last two years. This little Martin for hanging outside and at the beach has been fantastic. But back to Urbans "Player". So last week a lady friend of my wife's came over for dinner. I didn't know she had Leukemia. Had lost her spouse to Breast Cancer a few months ago. And my wife had told her I was back into playing again and very focused and serious. That playing again had inspired me. Changed me.. And her friend had given up guitar herself for a long time due to caring for her spouse. And was ready to get inspired again after hearing my wife tell my story. She then came into my living room and said she had a gift for me. One that was to be willed to me. But she decided better to give it to me in person and to talk guitar and to play with me helping her to get back into it herself. And she walked in with the complete Urban, Player guitar package with amp, and 30 DVD package she had purchased sometime back for herself. A gift. I was speechless. Original strings had been on it since purchased and it had never been played so I changed out the strings and she and I played around. A beautiful guitar. I really was drawn to the bass notes. A very special guitar from a very gracious woman who has dealt with great hardships and continues to persevere with her own now. Im headed to see her next week to change out her strings on her Alvarez and to assist her in anyway I can. But thank you for creating such a nice guitar. Beautiful detail and rich sound. The Martin Silken Bronze strings I fitted it with really brought out the deep tones. Im impressed and inspired even more. And thanks for honoring Mr. Bill Withers. A great one for sure.
Thanks Keith i've been playing off and on since i was a little boy, still learning and definitely still a beginner. Love the way you teach this great song, thanks for taking the time out of your busy life to do this, hope you keep doing it for us... come back to Ottawa On again soon. Robert
Jamming with Keith Urban is on my bucket list.i have since I have so much respect for this man is guitar playing, his voice, and his diversity in overcoming life’s issues
know what is kind of annoying though? ....how good he is at just randomly talking/explaining what to do as he is still playing everything PERFECTLY. lol Much respect Keith; thanks for taking the time to do these videos!
Ah mate !!!! True Blue and Brilliant and ya give others a fair go to show their talent and in making music understandable to the world !!!!!!!! Big Thank you........Keith !
I Love Keith's music always have he's one of the last true country singers / songwriters and after God's grace we need a little music to help our hearts. I've lived in our county all my life never been a celebrity seeker . I've never cared about that like most true Nashville folks don' t either its our heritage . Thanks for the encouragement. God Bless the Urban family
Keith urban I love u Guitar line I actually got to play one of your guitars yesterday for the Frist time it played really good and your cds are amazing. Your doing a really good job helping people learn how to play keep it up. And if you want to send me a signed Keith urban guitar that would be awesome. Lol I know that want happen but it never hurts to try 😂. Thanks again for the good lessons.
It’s a nice feeling to see yourself go from looking at these and thinking “Oooh this is a bit tough, best I stick to simpler stuff” to “Pfft these are easy” xD
I second this, great tutorial but not sure about the strumming pattern. I'm a beginner myself but for the intro he seems to strum an open string on the 'A' string followed by 1 strum of Am, Em then G. He goes through this twice then finishes on 1 strum of Am without the open string. You pause for a count of 3 then you come back when he sings 'she' of There's no warmth when 'SHE'S away, repeat the pattern I gave you once then after that I'm lost just like you are. I hope that helps with the intro at least. If you find out the rest of the pattern please let me know. Another guy on RUclips suggests down-down down up - up down - down up down, for the verse but I can't get it to fit in with this particular tutorial, which I prefer but that might just be because I'm not very good. Confusing I know, but I hope this helped a little.
Scott Fontoura it's just difficult because I don't like all the other guitar tatorils on this song that are on RUclips so I'm really trying to figure out how keith does it and sorry I can't spell for shit 😂
I have planned for 19 years and my best advice is these things.Work on the timing and focus on using your ear and not being perfect. Once you have it down with now issues at all then you can. Look up other videos to see other ways to play the song. Look up tabs to see strumming patterns.Via google Tabster tabcrawler etc.Also you can slow the video down and look at his hands to see slowly what he is doing. Hope some of this helps ya.

Beautiful song written by Mr Withers. Original recording was made in Memphis with Stephen Stills playing guitar. Yes. Stephen Stills in 1971.

❤️
is this Ocean Way Studio ..???
What kind of guitar are you playing here?
8:34😊
cant hear the acoustic guitar when the band plays?
what's his guitar mic?
Around 1:32 what exactly is the strum ? down chord, down bass string, down chord ?
..is that your house ..? :)
Congratulations on your skill but the part only with drum and bass backing track isn't there an error? it is not the same as that sung
Mejor tutorial de youtube
Can someone tell me the sturuming pattern?

Scott Fontoura thank you I will give this a try I'm not sure why he didn't give us the strumming pattern

Strumming pattern?

i never look at a tuto if i don't see the result FIRST
This lbgtiq person stands up 4 there kind liked it
With G7 it's more beautiful than G 😊
I always thought Bill Withers was a black man
