How to play My Sweet Lord by George Harrison on guitar

[@MrRichardkidd]

"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]

[@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

[@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!!!

[@Deviltriggerfounder]

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

[@MrSkunk1964]

[@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.

[@socratease1432]

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

[@dericmclean8100]

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

[@fadialasmar4929]

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

[@SuperShawn2020]

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

[@arielyemini4221]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@jana9999]

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

[@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

[@pattis.1645]

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

[@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."

[@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.

[@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

[@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!

[@stefanoester2052]

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

[@tammygurl64]

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

[@AngelHerreraAngelico]

Thw person who can play this song is blessed...

[@tazman14302]

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

[@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!

[@TRICK-OR-TREAT236]

THAT WAS ............................... SWEET ! ........................ MA LORD !

[@buzzlightyear1191]

George would be proud of you justin , blessings

[@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.

[@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

[@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!

[@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!

[@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

[@dbertubechannel]

Never stop. You rock, literally

[@Billyray195159]

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

[@karthiksubramani4102]

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

[@moondancer.n.8334]

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

[@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

[@jesterd14]

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

[@tanyasherwood6872]

H. Hay

[@billdb100]

Thanks..very thorough, but easy to follow

[@rogerbowra]

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

[@jaimemino2641]

Excellent Justin. Thank you so much.

[@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.

[@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

[@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 .

[@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....

[@TerryVanner]

Thanks Justin. Very enjoyable and looking to trying it.

[@GirlsTripTV]

You are awesome, Justin! Thanks!

[@ura239]

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

[@gerardmaci5553]

Excellent teacher! Thanks a lot!

[@wsavage3696]

I love this ❣️ Too advanced for me right now. Another good one is Give Me Love by George Harrison . Love love that one too‼️

[@alainkarasek]

Thx Justin for this lesson. One more for me! 😜🌺🌺

[@kevinmaloney4061]

This guy could teach anything.

[@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.

[@tking1245]

"My F sharp minor" love this lesson !!

[@RUdyat]

Thanks for the Lesson Justin, you're great!!!

[@danbirch1518]

Awesome teaching! Thanks!

[@Nick-sg8xo]

Justin, man, you are just great. Thanks for this and all your videos, Nick

[@jimmyfern10]

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

[@TangoVirtud]

Great tutorial chap. Thanks. Loved that bridge.

[@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

[@caiolex]

Great guitar lesson !!!

[@naglejohn]

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

[@Mostafa20268]

Great lesson boss !

[@RyanWehr]

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

[@Ninjamonkeydrummer]

That rewind was legendary mate

[@alphasixfive1658]

World's GREATEST Song !

[@lerjae]

Dude you just saved my skin! I've been struggling with this one for weeks trying to work on it for an upcoming gig. This is a version I can play. Many thanks and keep rocking!

[@redsquid]

You are an awesome human being!

[@naglejohn]

hi am i love the way you teach it is helping me alot thanks

[@charliedillon1400]

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

[@Ronnie631000]

Excellent instruction. Thank you very much.

[@kevintjuh93]

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

[@i3oosted]

My favorite song... thanks Justin!

[@fourocker]

Beautiful thanks and I have said it before but your Maton sounds so sweet !!

[@OakAthainNerin]

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

[@jaydogg187]

This one is way too advanced for me. I'll be back in 6 months.

[@NAZAXP]

jajajaja good luck

[@zplapplap]

You will get there.

[@stephenrice7634]

Jay Dog where you at

[@halfmettal]

You done yet?

[@gabrielklushkan2438]

😂😂

[@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.

[@landonbailey]

great demo thanks!

[@ray67guitar]

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

[@CAPRICORNDRAGON]

Thank you youre a Great Teacher

[@helenswinton]

Nice job on vocals too!

[@nakkahallam5653]

Justin your an amazing guitar player and tutor love your lessons amazing mate.

[@shaneconnors757]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR DOING THIS!

[@marcoseduardosalesnunesdes2126]

Thanks Justin. You are a really good teacher. I will try this song in my "Country Brazilian Guitar" wiht some adjustments.

[@buzzlightyear1191]

timeless song

[@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.

[@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

[@Sklhardy]

Another good one!

[@paulroberts6820]

Janisse - another good one to try similar transition is Norwegian Wood, another upstrum from D to Bm...but much different song. I just happened to take this on right after that ...and was having similar challenges with it. Doing same thing on this song rounded it out for me. I think Justin also has a Norwegian Wood lesson...

[@NiklasMalmqvist]

He is famous for you and many others. That doesnt mean that EVERYBODY knows who he is! I had never heard of him. And I had never seen him before either. I guess he was big in the UK, and maybe I had heard of him if I lived there.

[@RobustWorks]

Thanks Justin

[@aviattal]

thank you for this great lesson

[@murkartik]

I always just love how much Justin looks like a clean-living Antipodean Norm Macdonald.

[@chrisrose5885]

Perfect lesson...

[@MichelCernev]

Thank you Justin, ...

[@HeROsiNhEaVeN]

Justin you rock dude!....wish I could have gone to the guitar clinic that you and Marty held in january....keep up gods work...:)
