Thank you, David! ❤ I wrote down in my planner to practice this for at least 5 minutes before bed everyday and hopefully the more days I string together we’ll see if it gets more familiar and desire to practice longer increases. Last night was the first time. Tonight I did 10 minutes so that brings the total practice time for the song to 15 minutes so far! 🎉 I will keep you updated. This is one of my favorite songs. It’s very calming and full of hope when my dreams feel so far away even though I put daily efforts on them each day. 😅 PS. I like how you sing the song. ;-) (11/3/2024)

[@scotttitensor1174]

Thank you so much for your great video. I needed it for a Kindergarten graduation today, and was asked this morning to play it. I was able to follow along and learn. For those that it is helpful, I slowed the video down to .75 when it was a little fast to practice with with the fingerpicking.

[@katrinarankin9015]

This is perfect for my performance at school and I love your singing because it's real.

[@diellzadibrani6122]

It is nice to See that you really care about our problems and answer with this awesome tutorial. Thank you!

[@savannahzamora3556]

Diellza Dibrani 😂😂

[@vanessajanice2552]

So well explained! As a German it's sometimes hard to find good tutorials to play along, but you did it so well! (and the singing part isn't that bad either, very helpful!)

[@germanCrowbar]

Kommt darauf an was du suchst, es gibt auch sehr gute Lektionen und Anleitungen auf Deutsch.

[@mahmoudeledrissi7234]

i love this guy having a way of teaching that sticks to the mind, bro God bless you. you are the best one i have seen so far.

[@windrider65]

Great lesson David, as far as your singing, keep singing, you sound a hell of a lot better then I do. I've never heard this one till today, but I like it enough that I'm going to learn this one next as soon as I get the one I"m working on down. One song at a time. Take care, have a great day and thanks for the lesson ( Charlie )

[@songnotes]

Thanks Charlie! Can’t say how appreciative I am of your support. Best of luck, until next time!

[@windrider65]

I'm working on your lesson of Wish you were here, right now, it is above my current level, but I'm going to get it before I move on. I'm 53 been playing about 3 years, and have bad hands, but I"ll manage. Thanks for the simple easy to follow lessons.

[@jilldevinesolliday3764]

Thanks David! Great tutorial. The fingerings were very easy. Picked it up in no time! Also, I love playing that F# with the left thumb. It adds that extra fullness to the chord. Thanks again!

[@stevenflores3670]

Thank you very much. Because of this tutorial, I was able to perform this song in front of my friends. Its all because of this tutorial.

[@susanaespolong1518]

A diamond in the rock turns to diamond tutorial, once I have mastered it. Thank you David, to G & YT.

[@thomasstandridge]

This video helped me way more than the rest on this song. Please make a part 2, I love your videos

[@joebutler2349]

Wow man, great tutorial was so easy to follow. Only watched the film today and loved the song, diddnt think I’d be able to play it 2 hours later!!! Great job

[@matthewandredelacruz9275]

That was easy to follow. I learned how to play the song through your tutorial even though I've only watched you once. Thank you. You taught really well. =)

[@JJsWithJesus]

Beautiful song, and amazing tutorial. Jesus loves you all!

[@LynzieVlogs]

I'm new in your channel, then I really liked your guitar tutorial of this song, I will do this one for my song cover w/ my youngest son. Thank you so much sir David of this video guitar tutorial of "A Million Dreams" song.

[@defygravity225]

this is awesome. you should definitely do one of these for Rewrite the Stars.

[@songnotes]

Maybe I will :) thanks for commenting! Best of luck.

[@ellafuller1609]

YES PLEASE DO REWRITE THE STARS

[@danah8905]

Thank you for this I was looking for a fingerpicking intro with the straight chords through the song as I find it hard to finger pick and sing at the same time . This is perfect :)

[@nowshinnawal5014]

such a good teacher

[@tomp8442]

This guy is the best, excellent !!!!

[@aaeleaa]

"Pinky on the third...." Me: HOW?! MY FINGER IS TOO SMALL!

[@DragouMC]

Dont stretch your poor pinky, stretch the flesh in between, like a spread high five

[@navalrichard9425]

Hahahha

[@Broadwayedits6]

I would definitely recommend you use your index finger in replace because it worked for me!

[@jamiroquai16]

Excellent Tutorial I really like the simple way to explain this, subscribed... Cheers from Mexico!

[@songnotes]

Cheers - glad this video was helpful!

[@kongkonasahadola2949]

Great tutorial sir!!!

[@callumjordan8840]

That was a great tutorial and really easy to understand, well done for singing too it was great help to understand the timing, thank you!🤘

[@richardfromcornwall5492]

Great tutorial. Didn't think I'd be able to get the finger picking bit but with practice, I'm getting there! My 6 year old granddaughter wants to do this as a duet with me on guitar or on my new baritone ukulele and so I'm having to try and get it down before she asks me again!!!

[@christophertiu329]

i like this song a lot and it inspired me to look for tutorials to watch and i found the perfect tutorial and the perfect tabs to play!

[@thatloserlotta]

Could you do the bridge tutorial too please? This video was very helpful and I learned the song pretty quick so thanks!

[@richardsacil8992]

Yeah I need to learn the bridge part too.

[@beezollo761]

thank you so much. great lesson and compassionate teaching!

[@Dark_Will_Find_You2]

This is a great tutorial video. Though, I did had to change some of the finger placement. I have small hands so it was hard for me to do the ones that were being taught.

[@neatymuttahidah305]

Thanks for the details tutorial...🎉

[@auliadwijuanita9714]

I close my eyes and I can see The world that's waiting up for me That I call my own Through the dark, through the door Through where no one's been before But it feels like home They can say, they can say it all sounds crazy They can say, they can say I've lost my mind I don't care, I don't care, so call me crazy We can live in a world that we design 'Cause every night I lie in bed The brightest colors fill my head A million dreams are keeping me awake I think of what the world could be A vision of the one I see A million dreams is all it's gonna take A million dreams for the world we're gonna make There's a house we can build Every room inside is filled With things from far away The special things I compile Each one there to make you smile On a rainy day They can say, they can say it all sounds crazy They can say, they can say we've lost our minds I don't care, I don't care if they call us crazy Runaway to a world that we design Every night I lie in bed The brightest colors fill my head A million dreams are keeping me awake I think of what the world could be A vision of the one I see A million dreams is all it's gonna take A million dreams for the world we're gonna make However big, however small Let me be part of it all Share your dreams with me You may be right, you may be wrong But say that you'll bring me along To the world you see To the world I close my eyes to see I close my eyes to see Every night I lie in bed The brightest colors fill my head A million dreams are keeping me awake A million dreams, a million dreams I think of what the world could be A vision of the one I see A million dreams is all it's gonna take A million dreams for the world we're gonna make For the world we're gonna make

[@MovieTimeWithDee]

Thanks for this man. My kids and I loved this film. And I saw ur cover of the song and learned how to do it just by watching that. Now I’ve got even more of a lesson from seeing this class.

[@songnotes]

Nice - glad to be if service! I recorded this a few weeks ago and figured I’d post the cover to get it out there ASAP - that’s great to hear you figured it out just from that. All the best!!

[@inglesamericano101]

That's my son, I can vouch for him when he says he's nailed this song! I'm shocked that he's learned how to play guitar so well in 1 month just by watching your videos, I had to come see who he's been talking about for myself! Great work my friend, keep the great content coming, you're inspiring people to keep picking up the guitar!

[@irenedewi9993]

Nobody in here can teach me as clear as your video! Please request Lily and faded song from Alan Walker acoustic version, pleasee pleasee.

[@danielbernhard1250]

Very Nice Video. I figured just out that it seems to fit very nice then you make the Am and C in the Chorus on the 3rd to a Sus Chord. What do you think about this idea. Love this Style of Video very much.

[@MakkenMaailma]

Great lesson! But when you hit that chorus, immediately I got some Neil Young (like a hurricane) feels in your singing tone. Thumbs up!

[@Innessamusic]

What about the bridge? 😢 That's the part I am struggling with However big, however small Let me be part of it all Share your dreams with me You may be right, you may be wrong But say that you'll bring me along To the world you see To the world I close my eyes to see I close my eyes to see

[@clanpsi]

But how do you play the rest, though?

[@matthewt7451]

Would it be possible for you to make the whole sheet of music with your amazing format (including the bridge) with the lyrics.i looked on your website and it would be really helpful if you could do the whole sheet of music than it all split up, thanks again I can now play this song almost perfectly now and you have been at such help -matthew

[@saraluciadaza6333]

[@TheKIDS12345678]
