"I really wanna D you, Lord" had me rolling! Thanks for this! ❤️

[@lifer108]

It absolutely made my day

[@kingrobert1st]

Lucky there ain't no F in the song!

[@dogsmith]

Man. This guy really loves Jesus. Like ... REALLY loves him.

[@richshlapack658]

Thank you. I've always loved this song. Now 46 years later - I can finally play it. You've made this 65 year old very happy!! Rich S

[@potluck12345]

[@akshaydamle95]

I recently heard this song in Guardians of the Galaxy and fell in love with it because of the guitar. Typed "george harrison my sweet lord guitar lesson" soon as I got back home from the theater, and I think for one moment there I was the happiest person alive because I found that you've done a tutorial on this beautiful song. Clicked the like button before I even started the video. Your videos are awesome! Thanks!

[@AnthonyHernandez-tv8vp]

Haha same thing happened to me a day ago! Cheers!

[@terry2405]

You come across as such a genuine, nice guy and your lessons are awesome. Thank you

[@flipityflopp]

Tks so much, JustinGuitar. Your explanation of the "push" (offbeat chord change) is exactly what I needed to hear to get this song down just right. Oy, mate.

[@Deviltriggerfounder]

You are a gift to the guitar community, thank you.

[@dericmclean8100]

Finally, someone who give you the key change!!! Awesome job as always Justin!

[@ruverbi743]

You and Andy guitar are THE best 2 teachers on THE internet. Í started as à complete beginner and NOw Í can play 10 songs. Thank you guys!!!

[@fadialasmar4929]

Favourite song for soooo long now and it's not getting bored a bit

[@1contemporary]

The greatest song ever written. I love the chord progression and the key change up one step. It just flows like magic. And the words on the record cover, "All things must pass away." It's so true that one must think about it for life. And I love the way George starts with Hallelujah (Christian), and then changes to include all religions. George Harrison was called the quiet Beatle. We didn't know how great he was until after the death of the Beatles. But he left the world with a song that will go on for eternity. Playing it is so much more powerful than listening to it. Thank you for your music George!

[@kingrobert1st]

George was reported to say "If we had known we would be the Beatles we would have tried harder."

[@MrSkunk1964]

big thanks matey ...back to playing guitar after 13 year break. 56 now lol ...and i always wanted to play that song when i picked the guitar up in mid 30's. no youtube then lol only sheet music and trial and error. but to now...we very lucky to have people like you to help... many thanks God bless you for helping others.

[@Phazur]

It's really amazing to see your singing improved in your recent videos. I have been watching your videos for all that time and what a progress!

[@socratease1432]

I have been playing and busking this for decades. I just wanted to hear it again. ,

[@jana9999]

You are my favorite on line teacher thus far. I love the way you sing the chords in place of the lyrics. Very personable and I am so happy to have found you. Thank you from Canada.

[@tammygurl64]

Thanks for sharing this. I haven't gotten the chords yet since I'm a beginner but this really helped me with strumming.

[@jana9999]

You are just fantastic. I love the way you sing the notes. Absolutely fantastic. Thanks again. A fan for life.

[@SuperShawn2020]

Who could ever give Justin a thumbs down? Great job!

[@arielyemini4221]

Shawn Hale maybe they really thought he wanted to D them? :-\

[@tazman14302]

Justin, I keep coming back to you for more and more! Rock on!

[@pattis.1645]

I have always loved this song. Used to play this 45 when I was a kid.

[@angjohnsyin9517]

Can you do "Something" by George Harrison? That would be great... Really love that one

[@robwright1286]

Baanger

[@williamstoner2276]

That’s would really be something

[@dirkjanklijn9949]

Thank you so much for this lesson again, waiting for the books, you really learned me to play and stay focussed, so thanks again.

[@ronsansone6032]

There's old dogs out here like Me that need refreshers on certain ones for Whatever reason and you Nailum! Thank you for All your hard work because I Know it's not simple to do what you do. With all of those Great ole folky camp fiery favorites you are right on man! 🙏Kudos

[@jsmcguireIII]

Thanks again Justin. How about Here Comes the Sun and Here Comes the Moon as companion lessons. I know both songs, but I think people would really like it if you walked them through them. I really miss George. Take care!

[@jesterd14]

Justin, you're the man, can we get a lesson on "What is life" by George??

[@tanyasherwood6872]

[@TheJerryw08]

By Far the best teacher on the net

[@newsveteran4466]

But not the best voice.

[@chandana56]

newsveteran this is a guitar lesson, not a vocal lesson! At least appreciate his contribution!

[@ryanpillow601]

Not as good as Marty Schwartz

[@knuckle47]

Justin, As much as I love playing, and have done so for over 50 years, I sit many times just to watch your infectious enthusiam in your instruction. To my surprise, I have a golden ticket from your cd a few years back...keep up your terrific and generous work..........AL

[@jamesbarker1994]

So eager to get my guitar out tonight to play this one. Heard it on the radio and wondered of Justin had a guide. Cant stop watching this haha, gunna smash it

[@NeptuneBay]

Justin, thank you for all your work, and talented explanation. Your presentation style can't be beat!

[@thombeed]

G'day Justin, this is a great break down of song. Thanks for doing a great job and uploading all of the songs that you do....

[@Archerjr1]

I wish you would have done this prior to last September. I had to learn this in one week to play at my Mom's funeral. I mostly let my Sister drown me out with the piano. It worked out fine anyway. Great song! Oh, then we played "In My Life". The fact that I played at all is due to what I've learned from Justin. Thanks again Mate.

[@StuartieG]

Justin! A big thank you for all your online lessons, I made incredibly fast progress the first month of the beginners course but like a lot of folk got stuck on the dreaded F Chord, could not seem to get my fingers in the right place at all it'd been like 3 weeks. Watching this video I tried to copy your finger positions then put my first finger on the back of the neck after (lower down than I was holding it before), and voilà now have it! Not sure if you'll ever read this but thanks very much!

[@alshrederino3360]

Learned this tune just a few days ago with barre chords. Nice tune, great singing, awesome guitar and amazing teacher. Thumbing up and praying for more. THANKS

[@buzzlightyear1191]

George would be proud of you justin , blessings

[@Billyray195159]

Nice Lesson Justin.It's Sweet that You Pass these Lesson onto US. ♫

[@THE-dl8yk]

Man!! This guy is awesome dude so full of humor and good explaining

[@huggyjd]

This is great! Thanks for what you do Justin .

[@rogerbowra]

Thanks Justin for another brilliant tutorial. Thanks for taking the time to help others

[@V8block8]

Thanks for this one, it has some fancy chords that i was struggling to find by ear. Slide will be a piece of cake, like a walk on cloud nine

[@therealsparkman]

Great tutorial chum. I love this song, and it sounds close, if not exactly like the way George Harrison recorded it. I tip my hat to your dedication in putting together this instructional video on line for those who appreciate it. Many thanks! Cheers!

[@dbertubechannel]

Never stop. You rock, literally

[@ura239]

Damn dude that was great! ... I love this song. Thanks for posting this. .

[@stefanoester2052]

Liebe Grüße aus München von einem großen Fan. Justin du bist einzigartig 👍 vielen Dank du bist ein super Lehrer

[@GirlsTripTV]

You are awesome, Justin! Thanks!

[@jimmyfern10]

You are to Good Justin Love your teaching mate all the best from Jimmy of Warrnambool,Victoria, Australia.

[@kevintjuh93]

Awesome! I was waiting for this one. Thank you very much Justin!

[@kingrobert1st]

Sounds awesome on a 12 string! I had to transpose it because I tune down to C#. When you play Am its the same as Em with the capo on fret 2 so I stay in the right key. This allows me to do the "slide" part with double stops.

[@TangoVirtud]

Great tutorial chap. Thanks. Loved that bridge.

[@moondancer.n.8334]

Love Your lessons~BEEN PLAYING FOR 40+ YEARS & JUST TO WATCH YOU ONCE~does it ~CRS??? You remind me.

[@ShivMenonLive]

Justin, I appreciate the way you choose which songs to do lessons on. each lesson has one thing which would make people better at playing guitar. Keep up the good work. And please conduct a guitar workshop in India.

[@gerardmaci5553]

[@traugottbauling8100]

How is it possible for two chords to be so instantly recognizable?? Thanks for the lesson Justin, and some nice singing there at the start :-) Long time watcher who struggles with vocals here

[@karthiksubramani4102]

You're the best guitar teacher ❤ from Bangalore, India

[@Ninjamonkeydrummer]

[@redsquid]

[@OakAthainNerin]

Fkin kills it then says . Etc etc he says lol. Love it. I WILL learn this song!!

[@markjbamber]

Thanks once again for posting a great lesson- I am learning slowly from being a 40 something beginner and your lessons are inspirational More power to your strumming hand my friend !

[@NiklasMalmqvist]

Never heard of George Harrison, but yes the Beatles I have heard about, but never listen to. And even if I had heard of this man I never heard this song. Among with the most other songs that Justin does lessons on.

[@caiolex]

Great guitar lesson !!!

[@tking1245]

"My F sharp minor" love this lesson !!

[@i3oosted]

My favorite song... thanks Justin!

[@janissebingobang2667]

TY very much Justin. I love this song so much. And for me it's another very good song to work my bar chords. I love the rhythm where the chord change happens on the Upstrum but i have really big trouble changing to the Bar Bminor from the D on the upstrum . I think it's because of the 2 factors : change on upstrum + change to bar chord from open chord...guess it's the next step after switching from open to barre on simple basic downstrum, let's work on this ! ty again

[@TimTheTuner]

Thanks Justin! I found that the F#dim. chord is basically the D major formation moved down one string (down is toward low E?) and add the pinky on the E (first) string. Once I got a hold of that it was easy. I'm going to work on this and see if I can get it. It takes me awhile because I'm still pretty much an intermediate-beginner.

[@1taylorgibson]

That's alot of chords to remember. But i took off the capo and played the e mi and a maj and remembered that old zombies song "she's not there". That was a great song. Maybe you have it on your site? Will look. Thanks for the lesson And the inspiration.

[@strumalong3224]

thanks for the lesson

No worries! Cheers 😊 | close 2u | JustinGuitar Official Guide [ www.justinguitar.com/ ] & Moderator on JustinGuitar Forum [ justinguitarcommunity.com/index.php ]

[@naglejohn]

[@landonbailey]

great demo thanks!

[@Edouards13]

Excellent Justin, as usual! ;)

[@charliedillon1400]

Great lesson mate! I'd send you money if I had some if you need it for a new couch.

[@paulroberts6820]

Hey Justin - Thanks for another great tutorial. This one sold me on the acoustic song book (BTW imagine what digital download will do for the impulse buy sales). Just saying. Really appreciate the free stuff and for sale stuff is always a great value-thanks for all.

[@helenswinton]

Nice job on vocals too!

[@roberttrautwein1260]

That is a cool video and worth further study. Thanks, Justin. You're also a difficult guy to write coherent notes.

[@CAPRICORNDRAGON]

Thank you youre a Great Teacher

[@paulweddle9250]

This was an Important lesson for me as thought I had it all figured out. That dim chord that goes to the B7 was key.. I was just using a B7 and letting the 6th string off and on..I use that exact dim chord later on from the E to C7 that differs from your tutorial but it works for me..I enjoy and learn much from your videos and even sent you some American Cash for support but never heard a word??

[@RyanWehr]

that F m Dim, is a finger nightmare... time for my brain to go to work!!!!! ill get it! Thank Justin.

[@aguallar]

Thank you from Spain!!

[@paulcooke100]

there is an 'easy' 4 string Bm chord available XX0432. which is just a pinky move from the D and you can keep your 1 finger in place for the D chord when you lift the pinky :) I got this one because I play Baritone Ukulele as well and this song is easy on that.

[@Sklhardy]

Another good one!

[@christiangarcia6691]

damn bro, you nailed it!..i was missing the F Dim..thanks!

[@ray67guitar]

Thanks for f diminished (relative to the capo) , good job!

[@naglejohn]

music is music man no matter ho plays or sings the song
