Cat Stevens "Morning Has Broken" Complete Guitar Lesson

[@charliewest1221]

Four years later and this is the best tutorial I have ever seen on KZbin. Classic!

[@davidburns9219]

This beautiful song takes me back to my childhood in the school hall assembly. The Rev would come in with an acoustic guitar and sing it every monday morning. Classic Cat Stevens. As usual your attention to detail is second to none. Great break down and tutorial from you. Thank's for the memory and song.

Greetings...thank you so much for the easy to follow lessons...I started playing guitar in the mid 70’s as a teenager... I stopped playing for many many years to devout my time to my 5 kiddie... now they are all over the age of 30 ...I got out the old Yamaha 360 dusted it off( original 35 year old strings...lol, tuned it up to the best of my tone deaf ability...and was surprised I remembered how to play lots of major and minor chords ( the easy one for easy Rock n Roll and Folky type music) I remembered how to play “ I WAS ONLY JOKING by Rod Stewart and Ballad of Dwight Fry ( simple style..not souls riffs)... I am now learning all the songs from your site...YOU ROCK...AGAIN THANK YOU FOR BRINGING GUITAR PLAYING BACK TO ME!

[@rjjarvis6506]

Thanks so much for this. You are really a terrific guitar teacher, and the fact that you have a great voice helps tie the whole thing together. Many of the online teachers get so far down into the weeds that it just takes too long to watch them; and they never show you how it all sounds together. But the fact that you sing it all the way through and play it in the beginning, and then break it down section by section is just the perfect way of showing the student how to do it. I don't think I've ever had so much fun running through an online lesson. I wish I had nothing more to do in life but just go through your entire catalogue of lessons (which I see is very extensive!). Live long and prosper!

[@robertjohnson3855]

Outstanding cover, your voice is excellent and sounds a lot Stevens. I'm sure glad he came back to us. He seems like such a good gentle person

[@wyx8882]

OMG! I recently discovered the title of this song, and instantly fell in love to the point that I wanna learn how to play this on guitar. When you started singing, i had to double check if spotify is still playing!! You sound so goood!!

[@mikeflight9]

Extremely good lesson Rob.Very detailed but made simple for the student. The mark of a great teacher.👍

[@swiftlessons]

Hey Mike, thanks so much. This lesson ended up being longer than expected, but I really wanted to break down these instrumental sections carefully. Glad my format and teaching style is agreeing with you. Have an awesome week of practice!

[@Bhatmann]

Cat Stevens, guys like that don’t come around often enough.

[@swiftlessons]

I agree, Cats a legend and he’s still good as ever.

[@dainmarriott342]

Absolutely fantastic. We all used to sing this in assembly at school, so this is a proper winner to do at barbecues!

[@MostLikelyMortal]

Was just rehearsing this for my grandfather’s memorial service, will for sure glean from this lesson! The younger bro is playing TAPS on the trumpet so I guess I get all the work.. lol thank you!

[@davidgchan7331]

It is a very good tutorial indeed. Even a beginner like me can follow. Thanks very much.

[@noddyholder79]

great lesson man. you made my day

[@hamishwatson2864]

Excellent tuition, thank you for sharing!

[@kith9591]

Am from distant Sri Lanka. This is a beautifully constructed lesson. Thanks so much...!!!

[@eagles_s]

Of the 999,999 guitar videos ive watched, this is thr first time ive seen the 4 string F with a barre across the highest 3 strings. Makes the infernal thing easy as pie. I can even thumb over now with no issue. Thanks for the umintentional inspiration.

[@habekostlas2]

Very nice! Thanks for share. Great lesson! Beautiful voice

[@lamberthall5372]

You are an excellent singer and guitar player 👏 👌 😀 ❤️ 🙌 👍 👏

[@TennesseeGock]

Thank you so much for sharing your talents! Your guitar playing, your voice, and singing are perfect (2 thumbs-up)! You really gave the best visual instructions: Superb clarity with your step-by-step instructions, as well as shots of both the fretboard and the soundboard! Your way of video instruction should be what other video instructors should model after! Thanks again for a magnificent video! Much appreciated! All the best to you!

[@gerardperreau3849]

Excellente pédagogie, tout est bien montré en détail en parlant tranquillement afin que ce soit compréhensible quand ce n’est pas notre langue. Ça fait 50 ans que j’en rêve d’avoir une version la plus approchante du disque. Merci beaucoup. Ronin

[@StephenMarkTurner]

This is about right for my skills. Well organized lesson. I always got lost in this song before, now I understand the structure better, and I haven't really studied this in detail yet.

[@salahuddinakbar4875]

What a useful perfect way of teaching this song that i learnt playing it since long ago. But I learned the perfection only from this tutorial - Piano Intro and interludes. His vocal sounds exactly like Cat !

[@ann-chiarasaenger242]

Thank you for this outstanding good step by step teaching!

[@JoeMama-ie6cz]

Certain pitches of voice fit so well with specific types of music and songs... you nailed it rob, like it was meant to be!! Keep up the fantastic music :)

[@robintibbets7356]

Great lesson and what a voice! TY!

[@rochleblanc8700]

Thank you for this wonderful song. Youre the perfect teacher. Roch

[@anthonyangelis1094]

Wow !! 👍👍❤️❤️nice Beautiful demo as always Thank you

[@akthomebusiness]

The intro played by the piano was difficult to catch the notes. Your guitar playing style makes things simple and easy to follow. Great job!

[@brendas9959]

One of my favorite songs ... well done! ♥

[@warrenjoseph76]

Thorough and absolutely fantastic. Thank you!

"Morning Has Broken" is a Christian hymn first published in 1931. It has words by English author Eleanor Farjeon and was inspired by the village of Alfriston in East Sussex, then set to a traditional Scottish Gaelic tune, "Bunessan" It is often sung in children's services and in funeral services. The song became identified with Stevens due to the popularity of his recording. Writing credit for "Morning Has Broken" has occasionally been erroneously attributed to Cat Stevens.

[@jean-pierreisrael1924]

Thank you very much for this brilliant tutorial! ... I am a fan of Cat Stevens but I have never dared to play this one, too complex for me! ... but thanks to you I am sure that I can work on it now. I also enjoyed very much your cover of purple rain... now I can play it and sing it with a big success !

I really like this Cat Stevens song and your tutorial seems very well explained. I do not understand English alas, and do not know how to speak it. I will have to learn the song in phonetics to begin with and I will take inspiration from your tutorial to play it. Thank you so much for sharing. You have a very beautiful voice and this recovery is excellent. cordially

[@phleehaha]

Great lesson as usual. Your approach to teaching is the best out there. On the topic of Cat Stevens, perhaps you can consider teaching us ´Sitting’, a great song by Cat.

[@rajennaidoo7]

Hi Rob! Please do a tutorial on OH VERY YOUNG, Cat Stevens.Would sincerely appreciate the piano preludes & interludes as well.So fulfilling with that little challenge.I thank you in anticipation Brother.
