Thank You So Much. MY dad loves bob marley and im doing this song for his bday . This helped an 11 year old (me) . And this has made me better. Quite hard but You made it easy :) THX

[@catalinvasquez9289]

This is just superb, I been tryin to find out about "learn keyboard piano chords" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Nonason Ranincoln Genie - (search on google )? It is a good one off guide for discovering how to play the piano like a pro minus the normal expense. Ive heard some interesting things about it and my work buddy got cool success with it.

Anyone wondering....GREAT VIDEO (for beginners and above). Thank the heavens someone did a KZbin video just as if...you were paying for a beginners lessons. Kudos Drue James!!! Great lesson on learning bob Marley tunes (well...songs from Legend) ••• Afterthought: This is actually a nice way to Learn guitar...if you can play what drue does verbatim’....you can actually accomplish more from this video than a few professional lessons. ••• He even does the trick where you speak/sing the chord you are playing and progressing to. Singing the chord you are playing while strumming is a great way to “learn your way around a fret board”. I cannot stress enough how subtle this lesson is for beginners/advanced beginners.

[@jluxtampa3210]

Eddie ate Dynamite good-bye Eddie. That one thing alone is enough for me to like your video. thank you for teaching me something

[@innazelikson]

Nice to meet you, James! I'm happy that KZbin give me your "Easy Beginner Guitar Lesson - Play 5 Bob Marley Songs With 5 Chords" -- exactly what I need now. This morning I write search "как играть на гитаре реггей" in Russian with mistake (How to play Reggie) and find this Lesson.... Many years I write lessons... and now the time to learn guitar!. Many people know How to Do, but How to explain what do you do for beginner... How to teach - it is really a rare event! I send my thanks to you from the Negev desert! I wish you you the desire, the strength and time to realize your plans! I enjoy now to learn with this lesson and hope to play Bob Marley songs soon!

[@bridgettehutton646]

Hi Drue, hope you are not paying attention to any negative comments. I am a Jamaican and I am sure Bob would appreciate your promoting and teaching his songs. I can't even play the reggae rhythm no matter how I try.❤❤ always!!

[@patriciapasumbal9663]

hi Drue, I learned to play lots of songs through your videos. thank you 😃

[@marisar1685]

Didática maravilhosa! Obrigada me ajudou muito, com está aula sinto um progresso na hora de tirar qualquer música 🎶

[@bleugunz3l]

[@paulymullo]

Heya Drew,i learned the bob songs from this,and as i got a bit more use i added bits,but i always come back to look and top up my strumms,1 thing i never saw or seen,in redemtion,when you start from g and go d d u miss d u,but evev now you did it so fast i wasnt sure to miss a dwn or an up,so i just winged it,ive learned that over the past yr,that your gona wing it sometimes

[@shanesmith3642]

14:39 I’ve watched some live video, and it looks like the verse is G Em C walk down to Am for the first three passes. Appreciate the video!

[@albertgros-ventre3496]

Nice. I’m trying to learn the guitar, and I love reggae music

[@DrueJames]

Go for it!

[@ramgoatliver6180]

He's a nice guy, but he doesn't play reggae properly. There are some good tutors on KZbin Tuff Lion J Jesus, Steve Golding but most of the others are fakers

[@montanharoots3613]

Fala muito esse cara...

[@NickNgandwe-jw5qi]

This is great for us beginners

[@cameroncrawford7740]

Yeah! I remember learning chords when I Started out .yes no matter! What I was determined to. .learn .. U got to play every day. . All day ..I never thought A peice of wood and string ...can ease your.. Heart..my guitar" well I Can't explain our...connection..

[@luwaggaraymond9578]

It was really so nice to me when I was starting to play a guitar this man helped me a lot like seriously

[@LonskiBig]

...Thanks a million...I'm primarily a vocals guy.....and just need the guitar to approximate the song....yet this IS THE SONG...but playable...(No Woman, No Cry)

[@abderrahimelbaghdadi]

For next time if you don't mind. Get up stand up, waiting in vain, buffalo soldier, could you be loved, is this love, I like this kind of reggae rhythm

[@simonchambers3900]

Found this really useful. It went fast but was simple enough to keep up with. Most you tube videos, I find you are for ever rewinding to see what being taught.

[@johntims2416]

Reggae is played on the down stroke not up stroke.. Calypso is played on the up stroke

[@noname-hp1lo]

Hi James, thank's for that video! I am a total beginner and was realy Overwhelmed, that was way to fast for me. It would be so great if you could make a longer video about all songs separated with slowly explenation and maby written down the letters or put some drawings where witch finger belongs in and so on. That would deffenetly make my day, cause I realy want to learn those Songs. Have a great day!

[@carolrhoden5370]

Thiese are beautiful songs and thanks to you I feel confident in playing them s just the song That i wanted to play

[@paulymullo]

Nice 1 drew,i learned something i can work with,rather than other tuitorials peeps go of on 1

[@paulymullo]

Sorry drew,ment to say this was 1 of my go to lessons a yr ago,i knew nothing and id just baught a guitar at 46,it helped me,keep the vids comin Drew

[@robertsamal8337]

Please make a tutorial on Turn your lights down low by Bob marley

[@lionnelmonaco9464]

This is a great 5 song medley! All great songs to learn. Thanks!

[@ssidwell9533]

Great way to break it down mate. I'm a fresh beginner and this really interested me 👊🏻

[@DrueJames]

Glad it was helpful!

[@christianguerra3843]

Everything’s gunna D alright

[@osamabadr1815]

I laughed so hard at this

[@MrBarrynicholas]

.........Better if you play it on the second beat of the bar, upstroke or down stroke.

[@katebell5301]

This helped so much!!! They way it’s put together is perfect , generally easy and a confidence booster!

[@ghouser100]

Greeting Drue! Would you kindly add more bob marley songs, i.e., Revolution, Turn your Lights down to name a few?

[@OjanMusic]

Good tutorial brother thank u

[@DujanForeman]

Blessed up yeah man

[@lennonandirietv8806]

Thank you for sharing your wisdom. Appreciate your generosity. 🍻❤

[@oneloveoneheartonedestination]

Much respect i always wanted to learn bob songs on a gitar, still have to buy a gitar

[@jimkirchner3323]

Thank You!

[@Peter-rl4nc]

you can also release pressure on chords to stop sound and others will teach that way which I think is easier try it

[@innocentnahimana9207]

Thanks so much for sharing us these songs and the chords@ we really enjoyed and hope it will help

[@franciscopeirat8395]

Please, tell me that after a while practicing, my fingers are not gonna be constantly muting other strings, this is terrible!! I love the way you explain, but changing chords that "fast", at least for me, it's a dream...yet.

[@ahmadbarrie2925]

More like reggae-country, mate!. Timing, beat and tempo are very important.

[@osamabadr1815]

دايما رافعين راسنا 😂

[@sinceagesago5258]

I agree to disagree with you, reggae in my opinion is based on "feeling" just like the blues. Music theory will tell you what a robot will do, everything is in a straight line if you know what I mean. Playing without theory and played based on what you feel can break the boundaries of time, beat and tempo but still comes out beautifully if not more beautifully than if it was all written in a straight line.

[@htaehxela]

Not being a tool is also important fella

[@htaehxela]

If you're such a music genius, what are you doing watching a beginner's video

[@ramgoatliver6180]

Ahmad you are right in what you say. It doesn't sound like reggae because he doesn't understand the rhythm and techniques

[@user-xj9dw4iw7h]

... E minor use to C... 😀😀😀

[@mikehussey5682]

please could you do burning brides heart full of black? thank you. proper feel good tune.

[@michelledaley55]

Just a bit fast on understanding the chord change with the strum. could have enjoyed a pdf to go with it. Thx anyway. But got frustrated trying to put your version together.

[@ronaldgoulding186]

love, thanks for making it so simple, BOSS

[@amazingly_bookish]

At 5:01 is it D and then D again? That's what I heard at least, but I see you're changing position of the chord ✋

[@saltlick18]

loving it drue! have you ever considered doing "Ain't no sunshine" bill withers? I looked up the chords and they seem easy enough but I can't quite figure out putting it with the lyrics. also I think a little finger style would be great for it.

[@DrueJames]

+saltlick18 Hey, thanks for the song suggestion. Yes, I could see a finger style version working well for this one. Keep on playing.

[@paulymullo]

Heya Drew,iv been using this super tutorial to learn the bob marley,and the tutorial has been a super help to me,im 46,i had never held a guitar until i baught my steel string acoustic 5 months ago online ,just 2nd hand,i knew nothing only that ive always wanted to try play,so you have helped me a lot,when i play no woman no cry,i start at G and and go 1+2+then 3 on the D and so on,and the c chord no woman no,i finish the "cry"on the G then repeat,holy moly its like i know what im talkin about,i just wanted to ask do i finish the c chord"no woman no " then g chord cry,or is it all on the c chord,or am i over thinking and i should just enjoy playing and it will come to me,like im changing chord on the 1+2+ ...3 next chord next line,any help Drew or advice,says you"keep watching the tutorial,thanks Drew👍👍

[@seyoumalemseged8901]

Thank you

[@Peter-rl4nc]

its what makes redemption song that intro

[@BONGOGO100]

All good but you on de beat not off it as that how you chop on reggae music

[@gilmardealmeidagarcia896]

muito bom .

[@djayr1soulfulhouse838]

Everyone else who plays redemption song plays G, Eminor C then a C drop down then A minor ?

[@SDIOR7]

I had a guitar just like your one here in this video I had it for two months and my sister drops it on the ground and it snaps in half I got it for Christmas from my uncle I just wish I could fix it man

[@garrylloyd9240]

Mate that's good I like it but after the slide part on the intro , where you seem to be getting lost a little slide, d, open d, but then it's hard to gage what you are on next so I've had to go on a different video because can't see what order your doing it in ? Other than that which I think is important , I thought you did good and yeah it's cool , thanks anyway

[@ghouser100]

garland - could I use the common down up reggae strum as well?

[@teyeamosagudey7459]

Waaaooooo......i love this lesson,well explained.Thanks Drue

Bruce Schweitzer omg I thought it was just me!! I am going to admire them. 😂 While practicing the basics!!

[@stevensteven3417]

its for advanced players really

[@LonskiBig]

....No.... I'm a beginner...he is correct...He has gotten rid of the hard "F" chord and it's still the song......

[@noname-hp1lo]

Mike Swizzy haha me too. I was kind off rewind listen to it again rewind again look at the fingers this time and one again try to write it down, again becauce I was to slowly try to pause at the right time and so on 😂

[@Lynsky24]

Calypso is up strokes, reggae is down strokes

[@cuchulainn1659]

Thanks for the lesson.

[@MrSC-ou7ii]

Natural Mystic song ?

[@adwingoh9208]

Volume control rather out of control

[@zakmiltan]

Just incase I am def but on the 1 st song you say D where you actually holding a G It's very confusing

[@ns-nf9pi]

[@UnchainedMelody86]

Hey Drue, Thanks for the lesson. Think you can do a lesson for Feist's "The Bad In Each Other"?

[@owendodwell6139]

can you do in the end by black veil brides

[@ivongurusinghe9505]

Thanks great help😍

[@noname-hp1lo]

Okey so I guess I got that first one No women no cry. But at the Seconds "Everything's gone be alright" I don't catch the diffrents between the verses and the cours melodie, can someone explain that to me? That would be awsom. The third one irretated me even more, probably my english was just to bad to understand what he was talking about, so I got that first melodie with 4xG, 4xD, 2xC, 2xG, 2xD but then the rest with 4xC,4xG,2xD I didn't understand what was that for? Sorry I'am a total beginner 😬😇🙈🤗

[@jimfritz9503]

Just listen to the song a few times. You have the chords. Play it at Your comfortable tempo. It all takes time. Best Wishes

[@JYMelody]

Impressive cover Yeah ! !

[@infoboutgtv4802]

but how do you move your fingers that fast that my problem

[@MartinClimbs]

practice my fella! the beginning of playing the guitar is just the self awareness of how much time you have to spend to get better. THATS ALL, thats the biggest hurdle of it. You get better, faster and preciser on both hands fast if you put your time and thoughts into it. good luck

[@Ihaveausernametoo]

Yeah I agree with Martin. I just had it home and played any way I liked for like 10-20 min each day for some time. Then it's a bit like riding a bike you won't forget it completely.

[@ricpotvin8]

Agreed, Practice, Practice, Practice... get your chords sounding good first, then work on progressions, start super slow, SUPER SLOW! Speed will come, if u jump to speed to quickly and it sounds crappy it’ll be locked in on that bad habit. Muscle Memory. And oh yeah, did I mention Practice, Practice, Practice... & Patience Young Jedi. ;)
