How to play Dear Porcupines with Melanie Martinez (Guitar lesson) (Live version of unreleased song)

[@arthurforte1149]

This so identical to the original, thanks now I can learn XD

[@Astlessons]

+Arthur Forte Well thank you! You're welcome, I'm glad you appreciate it. Yeah, besides the fact that I work as a teacher that's probably one of my biggest strengths that I have a well-trained ear, then I for example still need to learn to be more charismatic and relaxed in front of the camera but I'm working on it:D

[@arthurforte1149]

+Astlessons You're in the right way ;)

Do Melanie Martinez - A Million Men tutorial

[@Astlessons]

+Leslie Zambrano I've decided I will, can't promise when I get the time/energy thought, alot going on right now. But if you wish I could make a note to let you know when it's up? (same goes for anyone else reading this)

@@Astlessons you did this tutorial? :') if yes i can't find

[@Astlessons]

There's been lots of requests for this one so I just had to do it! It's not a well known song and it still hasn't been released, but her live versions here on youtube has gotten alot of praise so check it out if you haven't heard it. It's such a cool and personal song with strong lyrics, it really deserves more attention. Also it's so much fun to play!:D

[@MelodyLunaMusic]

Astlessons omg can u do birthing addicts from melanie martinez plz!!

[@Astlessons]

+Inpirational Melody I've been sick for a long time, still don't have voice enough to do a tutorial. But when I do I will look into doing another Melanie Martinez song in the not too distant future, and that's one of the songs I'll consider, can't promise more then that because I've gotten so many requests on her songs:D

[@billthomas7727]

Could you also try and find a way to make a piano tutorial, instead of singing adding vocal keys c; I hope you feel better, though!

[@Astlessons]

+Bill Thomas Still in a bit of "aftermath" or what you call it, still tired and broken down, but it's getting there. Thanks for the thought! As for piano tutorial. piano is actually my main instrument, main reason for not doing piano tutorials yet is that the way I want it done needs alot of new equipment and computer programs I just don't have the money for yet. So as for now it's a no, but if you're a subscriber you should know that I do plan to begin doing piano tutorials some day, plus another wild card I'm holding on to!:D

[@delanya8036]

Ladies oh ladies why are you so mad, is it Cause I'm classy, And you're a trash bag Your teasing and laughing resonates through my heart And now you're calling me 'cause you want a fresh start Now look at you boys you can't believe your eyes, You told me I was ugly and I took you by surprise, You should've been nicer 'cause look where I'm at, While you copy Mac Miller wearin' snap back hats. I hope you all are watching my middle finger rise, To the bullies in the school yard I know I'm on your mind, Now you say love me, but what about before, When I was just that silly little girl next door. Oh oh Ohhhohh

[@Astlessons]

+poppunkrock141 - Thanks alot! Yeah, I try to make the demonstrations as clear and well-played as possible so that some people can just skip the rest, usually takes a few tries and alot of practice before I can nail it but comments like yours makes it worth it:D Saw among your uploads you play keyboard too, cool and nice to see, my main instrument is actually piano so one day I will start doing piano/keyboard tutorials too.

[@jayyperry5549]

you rock for uploading this and you're talented,thank you.If you ever upload a lesson for another one of her songs you should consider her song "the one" its such an amazing and beautiful song and I've searched everywhere online for a lesson and no one has uploaded one.

[@Astlessons]

+Jayy Perry Thanks for the nice feedback! I've actually already done another one of her songs, the acoustic version of Carousel she did on Perez Hilton:D But I will be sure to check out the song anyways since I haven't heard it! And I have this system where I take requests from subscribers and put it on a list, then it turns up on a vote on my website, and sometimes even though songs doesn't win I occasionally do tutorials anyways and other times I put it on ultimate guitar instead. So if you want I could add it to the list, then I could contact you if anything happens with the song?

+Damaris Cantu Hey! I'm afraid I don't speak Spanish, can you try to explain in English? Goggle translate told me it's something about a string, maybe another spanish speaking person can help?

[@Seddie4everRCM]

No eres la única jajaja pero creo que puedo traducrilo: I think what she said is this: The fourth fret in my guitar is wrong (factory mistake), but i love this song, what can I do to play it? Help me Hope i did it right. Thanks for this btw, i just got my guitar as a christmas gift and this is one of my favs by Melanie, along with A Million Men

[@Astlessons]

+ManniiNA Thanks for the translation!:D And to answer Damaris, yeah I hope so too. Being away from making videos is more a matter of personal reasons then not wanting to do videos however, but really hope to be able to get started soon too!

How do I play the bridge? Like, which strumming pattern do I need to use? Awesome video by the way! Best teacher ever!

[@Astlessons]

+Mystery Unsolved Hey and thanks for the kind words, it means alot, and sorry for the late reply! She plays the Bridge differently in her performances, but basically it's a mix of just random slow strumming/plucking and using pattern 3 mostly, sometimes with small variations like skipping or adding a strum. So my tip is to start by picking one performance you like how she plays it and kind of study where she plays patterns and not, and try to just listen to the random improvising between the patterns and just try to imitate it. I mean it doesn't really matter if you nail how she improvises exactly or not, just kind of focus on the big picture and try to capture the feeling of it if that makes sense. That's what I would to atleast:D

[@catarj1846]

You don't happen to have an audio or video recording of you playing the instrumental all the way through of this song do you? There are no karaoke or instrumental tracks available to sing the whole song with and my daughter was wanting to do a cover of the song in the next day or so. Any chance you can let me know? Thanks so much

[@Astlessons]

+Cat Arj Hey! I've answered this further down already so copying that answer after this sentence and then following up in the end of this comment:D There's actually a girl who mixed my recordings here into a full instrumental version, first without my consent but then I gave it to her if she gave me credit. Don't remember her name but try searching here on youtube again, maybe she didn't tag it properly so you'll have to scroll a few pages to find it. Otherwise it would be cool if someone else here who learned from my video makes a real cover either with or without vocals, and if someone does it and credits me for teaching it I'd gladly promote it here! Personally I just don't have the time for the moment, I've been sick for a long time and as soon as I'm well enough to record again I gotta focus fully on catching up with new tutorials. So that answer is for a proper recording, but since so many people seem to want it I'll consider doing a more simple play-through, if so I'll get back to you and let you know of course!

I'm 12 years old and i seriously can't do the F cord, is there any easy chord that I can do bc I rlly like this tutorial its just that my hands are small and I can reach so far out and I can't do it fast enough...

[@cansuozhan3493]

Please dead to me -melanie Martinez

[@psychoticfrenzi461]

Wait..... how do you play the bridge part.... like.. the strumming pattern? Everything else is great btw i loved the video. Ive been struggling to find good tutorial videos and this was perfect, even included my favorite artist which was great!

[@Astlessons]

+Edna Sabic (SabiBear) Thanks Edna for the kind words, always nice to hear! Saw you subscribed too so hope you'll like more uploads as well. To your question, think I mentioned she just strums a bit freely on that part, also alot of single strums, so I didn't include the exact way of playing the Bridge, just the part before in end of Chorus 2. But since you're interested I just listened again and I'll explain in words best I can and hope you'll follow! I'll divide it into several comments to make it easier to read.

[@Astlessons]

+Edna Sabic (SabiBear) Okay, so end of Chorus 2 on the "oohs" after "silly little girl next door" just play pattern 3, I mentioned this in the video but just reminding anyways to get the whole picture:D Then after when the Bridge starts you first strum Am once and let ring, then on "..trash about me" when it goes to C play this (D * * * D * * D * D D D D * D *) with a hammer-on with indexfinger on second downstrum. Then after on next two chords (Fmaj7/C and E) just strum once and let ring again.

[@Astlessons]

+Edna Sabic (SabiBear) Then on Am when singing "week" you first strum once and then starting rocking downstrums (D D D D D D D D) kind of making downstrums 1 4 7 stick out by playing them harder and longer. In hindsight I should have included this pattern since it's actually a recognizable pattern and quite common, I just didn't pay enough attention on that part I guess:D

[@psychoticfrenzi461]

+Astlessons Oh okay, thank you xD

[@existforlove1019]

Pleaseeee Melanie Martinez "Birthing Addicts"

[@savagecatqueen8739]

Great tutorial! Can I ask what is the brand of your guitar?

[@Astlessons]

+SavageCatQueen Thanks alot, and sure! It's a Furch, model D21-CR. It looks nice and used to sound good and have good intonation, but I think I may have mishandled it by allowing humidity or cold air to make it worse over the years, because nowadays it just doesn't sound as good and the intonation is off by too much for my ears.

[@eliannysgarcia7711]

Can you do A million men - Melanie Martínez, please

[@Astlessons]

+Eli-chan Yeah, it will be my next upload, don't dare to promise when but I can make a note to write you when it's up if you want to.

[@desynonsochecognomefintome4806]

Can I play this without a capo? how it's gonna sound? Because I don't have it :c And what is it for? Should I buy it?

[@melindah7152]

Desy nonsochecognomefintometterelol if u don't have one you can make one using a pencil and one or two rubber bands. Thats what I did and it works pretty well

[@Astlessons]

+Desy nonsochecognomefintometterelol Sorry for the very late reply, I've been away for a long time! You can play without but it's quite complicated, just go to ultimate guitar and search for the song which will bring you to my upload, then just transpose as I instruct in the top of the upload. I'd advice to buy a capo instead though, once you've learned to use it you'll love it! Sure you can do it with rubber band and pencil but I'd just buy a capo instead:D What it's for, it changes the key for you, if you put it on first fret to transpose the song one step higher without having to play other chords, place it on second fret then you transpose it two half-steps and so on.

[@boo1boo239]

can u do melanie Martinez Crazy?

[@watermelon1157]

Please play million men by Melanie Martinez

[@Astlessons]

+Watermelon Hey! I'll repeat what I answered another person who asked the same. Thing is I've been away for a long time for personal reasons, I really can't promise when I'll get back to making videos, but I've already promised that I will someday and when I do A Million Men will be the first video for sure. Afraid that's the best I can give you for now.

[@jooku]

is it possible to do this without the chord pinching thing? i dont have one...

[@Astlessons]

+Yui Hirasawa There's kind of two answers to this question, and since I don't know what musical level you are on I'll answer it thoroughly in both ways and hope you don't take offense if you're really a more advanced player. So firstly, you never "have to" use the capo (chord pinching thing), the chords work just as well playing as they are without the capo, the melody just changes key which means you'll have to sing a bit lower but other then that it sounds the same. So if you don't wanna play along with her recordings this works just fine. But secondly, if you really wanna play and sing along with her (in the same key) and singing as high/low without a capo, you'll have to change the chords to another key. To play those chords without a capo you instead use the following shapes all through (with links how to take them): C#m - X 4 6 6 5 4 (www.how-to-play-guitar.eu/guitar_chords/Csharp/Csharpm_Guitar_Chord.gif) E - 0 2 2 1 0 0 (www.how-to-play-guitar.eu/guitar_chords/E/E_Guitar_Chord.gif) Amaj7/E - 0 0 2 1 2 0 (www.how-to-play-guitar.eu/guitar_chords/A/Amaj7_Guitar_Chord.gif, except play the open E-string) G# - 4 6 6 5 4 4 (www.how-to-play-guitar.eu/guitar_chords/Gsharp/Gsharp_Guitar_Chord.gif)

[@jooku]

Astlessons thanks so much! it really helps. and yeah im just an amateur at playing the guitar and i bet you can tell by how i called the capo a "chord pinching thing" xD

[@Astlessons]

+Yui Hirasawa You're welcome, glad I could be of help!:D I guessed as much, but you really never know, I've had new students that have played for years and still don't know how to use a capo:D Just let me know if you have any other questions!

[@stevieculbertson3739]

Can I use this for a cover please!!💕

[@Astlessons]

+stevie culbertson Sure thing, but under a few conditions. First thing is to ask first which you did (just in case anyone else reads this and wants to do the same thing, you have to ask first:D). Secondly give me credit somewhere in the top of the description (so it's clearly visible) by naming the source, which is my channel name and video link. If you're unsure what to write I can help with it if you wish. Three, tell me when the video is uploaded so I can check it out. And last but not least be thankful:D

[@sophiefett]

This is so helpful!! Thank you so much!!! I just subscribed:D it would be awesome if you could also do Birthing Addicts!! Thanks!:)

[@Astlessons]

+TheDIYDarling Hey! No problems, it's wonderful to hear my video was so appreciated, so thanks back for the comment. I saw that, hope you'll enjoy more of my videos then, for example I just released Pity Party which you might like as well I think:D So since I just released Pity Party today it will be a while before I do another of her songs, but I can promise you that I will make more of them, and since you're a subscriber I'll add Birthing Addicts to the requestlist (read here for what that means: www.astlessons.com/contact.html). Also if there's anything else musically you stumble on and need help with just send me a message, I'm always happy to help my subscribers!

[@kyolte]

I am a beginner. How do I tune the guitar to get to the rhythm?

[@Astlessons]

+Pastella Ah, we all were at some time:D It's just normal tuning so you don't need to do anything before starting to practice besides tuning it as you usually do, and it can be played without a capo if you don't have one (then you just can't play along with the studio version).

[@kyolte]

Astlessons Thank you!

[@Astlessons]

+Pastella No problems, I'm glad to be of help!

[@amara9279]

The one by Melanie Martinez?

[@myholyromance6704]

can u do one with the piano? please i need it!!

[@Astlessons]

+Marlene Lew I'm afraid I don't have the proper setup to do piano tutorials yet, but someday I hope to have saved enough money for it since piano is my main instrument. But you can try playing the chords as they are on piano, and then maybe convert the guitar pattern to piano but replacing downstrums with bassnotes (left hand) and upstrums with the melody/chords (right hand).

[@gabrielgonzalez6378]

Can you do ukelele lesson

[@Astlessons]

+wavypikachu13 I probably won't to be honest, but the strumming work the same on ukulele. Then for chords I'd advice replacing E with E7, then also the Fmaj7/C doesn't really have a shape that sounds good so just play a normal F instead of that one.

[@fijipretty7868]

how do you tune your gatare like that?

[@Astlessons]

+A mageld Robot It's just normal tuning, and then I put on a capo on the fourth fret

[@vitaaug]

What i that clip thing on the guitar

[@Astlessons]

+VitaIsAPerson It's called a "capo", if you don't know what it does it changes the key of the guitar, so basically for each step you move it up everything you play gets one step higher. There's many different kinds, personally I like the ones in plastic with a "sping" (I think it's called) mechanism which doesn't hurt the guitar. If you have further questions about just ask away!

[@blurrypepe2187]

a capo :)

[@angelickiwi493]

could these chords be applied to a ukulele????

[@Astlessons]

+CosplayingWithCasper Yeah they can, but it's not as easy. Firstly I really hate playing E chords on ukulele but thankfully she sometimes play E7 instead live so I'd advice replacing E with E7, then also the Fmaj7/C doesn't really have a shape that sounds good so just play a normal F instead of that one.

[@Astlessons]

+CosplayingWithCasper Oops, I also forgot I've uploaded another alternative way of playing the song on ukulele already, so here's another way to play it: tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/m/melanie_martinez/dear_porcupines_ukulele_crd.htm

[@deathbaby5318]

what that clip called on your guitar?

[@Astlessons]

+Alexis lovesdatmakeup It's called a "capo", if you don't know what it does it changes the key of the guitar, so basically for each step you move it up everything you play gets one step higher.

[@wndrlnd3526]

Can I apply these cords to a piano?

[@Astlessons]

+howllikeyoumeanit Yes, absolutely, you can just play it as it is! Here's the keys for each chord: Am - A C E C - C E G Fmaj7/C - F A C E (with a C bass) E - E G# B But if Fmaj7/C doesn't sound as good to you just remove the C bass or replace the chord with F (F A C)

[@wndrlnd3526]

Astlessons Thank you so much! I appreciate it!

[@Astlessons]

+howllikeyoumeanit No problems at all, I'm just happy to help!

[@snakebass5661]

pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, toxicby Melanie Martinez

[@Astlessons]

+Snake Bass As soon as I'm back making videos again I will start with a Melanie Martinez song that I promise, A Million Men seem to be alot more requested I'm afraid, but if I end up posting Toxic on ug or write someplace else I'll let you know however

[@fateschnapp9026]

Are u strumming all the strings?

[@Astlessons]

+Fate Schnapp Only on some of the chords. Either watch from 02:23 again or on the CD paper on the website. Once there look on the chord diagrams and above the strings (vertical lines), on some you see a X which means you don't strum that string when playing. I also talk about it on chords section that you "skip" or "mute" strings.

[@Ari-oi8wo]

I suck at this! I don't understand any video I see. 😂 but this is good. But I still suck! 😹

[@Astlessons]

+MoonlightLove Thanks! Well, honestly everybody sucked at some point, me included:D So just stay at it and don't give up, put in hard work and you'll see progress I promise! Also, the absolutely best tip I can give you is to ask questions like crazy to people who know more then you, it sounds simple but I've met so many students who for various reasons don't. So, next time you see a video you don't understand ask away so someone can explain until you do, for example next time you watch one of mine!:D

[@skye7489]

D'you need the capo?

[@Astlessons]

+Pacify That Crybaby Yeah, or to play it like Melanie (and me:D) does it you need a capo, also it's much easier then playing the song without one. But if you don't have a capo it's still possible playing the original key along with the recording, if you go to my upload on ug and transpose to +4 you can just hover of the chords giving you the best alternative way I just tried myself and it sounded okay: tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/m/melanie_martinez/dear_porcupines_crd.htm

[@jamieenfriends]

how do i do this without the capo? :c

[@Astlessons]

+Jamie Struijer Hey Jamie! If you scroll down to the comment from "Yui Hirasawa" you'll find how, she asked the same and I've answered her properly there. Then if you have any further questions after reading my reply just there in that thread instead so it's easier to follow for both me and other people. Cheers and hope it helps!:D

[@Astlessons]

+Anja Grande Hey! I'm sorry to hear it, I'll gladly try to help you more though if I can. Have you tried the free papers on the website by the way, there's lots of information in another form, like the PP paper which has the strumming. Maybe it will help to sit and watch them by yourself for a while? Or try specifying more what I need to explain further and I'll try here in writing of course, or add extra information on one of the papers.

[@dieeineanja]

[@Astlessons]

+Anja Grande Ah, I'm glad! Well, just ask away later on then if you decide you're not satisfied. No problems!

+Kaykay,but mostly A XD We all start out that way so don't worry about it, just keep practicing and learning more chords etc. :D There's free papers on the website plus lots of extra material under the "Misc." tab that can be helpful for beginners, and if you need further help just ask away here in the comments of by private mail!
