Thanks! It really helps ❤

[@SamsonFRYT]

When I'm looking for a guitar lesson on a particular song and find out Justin has done one, I know I'm good :) Thanks again !

[@OliverSisson]

strumming pattern dudu dxxu xuxu dxxx

[@philpants44]

I'm pretty sure he's covered every song ever written lol

[@ezraabbas3041]

As a beginner like me, who just comes into bar chords, this is a great song to practice and master it!

[@adrianreyes4702]

Excellent comment on relaxing the bar chord hand. It can quickly get cramped clinching it as many tend to do.

[@Kapato-qe9dm]

yap my hand hurts

[@nykoman1]

Since the first time I saw this tutor here , he is the best teachers on KZbin, the way he talk in the lesson is amazing , great job 👏👏👏👏

[@melodyomorogbe]

I won't lie to you, at first, and I mean like last two months, I hated this toturial cause I couldn't get it, but now that I have more experience, I can finally get it and I'm really having fun learning it. At the beginning I was blaming Justin because he wasn't writing down up down up, but he was teaching it like he should, I wasn't getting it cause the most channel make you take a bad habit like down up down

[@MrRickytuk]

A neat trick for this one is to place a capo on the 1st fret. Use the open E chord shape in place of the F Bar to give your hand that little break. If you want to switch it up you can play the F at Fret 9.

[@roulstones]

Come on Justin, a live concert with her. You could sell out the Albert Hall

[@moy_moy85]

Umm no.

[@MrTakamine62]

Love your tutorials.....you have such a wonderful easy way and you explain everything so clearly......Cheers mate!

[@andreyvanakoff9412]

As i know, originally this is Ednaswap - "Torn", alternative rock song. And it sounds 1000 times better than Natalia's version. Lady from video sings beautiful too.

[@oliversissonphone6143]

I can't stand her voice! Guess it's subjective

[@GromovPeter]

My left hand cant't move any more :-) Great tune thx!!!

[@nicolen.9642]

1:50: So true! I worked on this and had to put it aside! Man the strumming is a killer, I tell you 😭. But I'll go back to it. Awesome Selina! Thanks for this performance!

[@jakollee]

Congrats, Justin, I checked about 5 or 6 lessons for this song, and you're the only one that got the intro correct! Minor point though, the Bb chord in the verse is a Bb7 (I checked a Natalie Imbruglia live version, can definitely hear the 7th). Also, really nice duet! (Oh, I see others have already commented about the 7th in the Bb chord, sorry to be redundant!)

[@tjhudak1]

Thanks Justin! The vast majority of what I have learned is all thanks to you! Just wish I had the extra money to buy the paid portion on the app again. This song has always stuck out to me even though it was overplayed on the radio in the early 2000’s! Just love the sound!

[@cjgreen3836]

Justin, you are a 'Guitar teacher star'. I have learned a lot from your videos, which have dragged me back into picking up the guitar again :) Thanks.

[@Dcvillnz]

Heck yea - thank you guys. ! Stay safe during these Covid Times - 🙏 July-4-20-20

[@credit888]

great lesson - will check out your play book. Five stars!

[@eBobbyo]

Good job. p.s. the 3rd chord in the verse should be Bb7, not Bb maj. It's subtle, but makes a difference ;)

[@theswift9876]

Justin, could you do "don't dream it's over" by crowded house please?

[@mazz114]

Hi did you know the original TORN- is by EDNA SWAP I've only just discovered this! thankyou for the lesson! all the best! :-)

[@jakollee]

I heard her (Edna Swap) do a great version of this song on Howard Stern, years ago.

[@jonlate4581]

Her name is Anne Previn. The band was Edna Swap. And yes, I remember them going on Stern and performing it many, many years ago. At the time Howard was OBSESSED with the song.😆

[@stevewall1460]

Thanks justin.... One of my all time favourites! now i just have to find a girl to sing it :) have a great day!

[@meself349]

She had an awesome voice And you gave her an awesome accompaniment. It made me cry. And I am a guy. (Onset of dementia or else I’m just a very emotional dude like I’ve always been.) Anyway, that song always moves me. That “hook” melody and some of the lyrics are so brilliant IMO like “I’m all out of faith/this is how I feel and “illusion never changed into something real”. I don’t know …those lyrics really get to me. I realize this song was written from the perspective of a woman about a relationship but still….. What can I say?

[@valdecirosaanger5555]

congratulations ! I'm from Brazil study music , I'm in the fifth semester of college degree , I am enjoying the lessons and singing , Very Good!

[@Tzadeck]

Justin sings well when the songs are in his vocal range. He's not a bad singer at all. If you are just a performer who sings you need to limit yourself to songs in your comfortable vocal range, but if you wanna be a good guitar teacher you have to branch out a lot more for your diverse students. So, yes, it's nice that he has a girl singer for higher songs. But if you're saying he's a bad singer, you don't know what you're talking about.

[@raulkpa]

who is she??...great voice....

[@TheBiologyking]

DUDUD UU UD is that basically right?

[@rogerdavies4702]

I hate playing in F! If I put a capo on the first fret and play E-shape, does it change the "feel" of the song, in anyone's opinion?

[@JustinGuitarSongs]

Try it out and use your ears to answer the question yorself. If it sounds good it is good. Cheers 😊 | Richard_close2u | JustinGuitar Official Guide & Approved Teacher

[@AIRMANBEAR]

A GREAT TEACHER ED IN.. N.Y.

[@koldkilla124]

I think you sing just fine the majority of the time Justin despite what some others say.

[@topxe.]

I got several minutes in to the lesson before I realised I had not heard a single thing he was saying because I was distracted by his shirt.

[@marcellojunior2533]

this what i want a chords of song in guitar and thesame tym there's a singer ,its make easy for us..thanks man..hope you can make more like this...

[@sagaoftime9995]

Omg she can't sing....... sry Love the guitare though! ❤

[@alienforce1681]

WOW!!! this is one of the most beautiful cover of this great song, well done guys

[@dugsbugs1]

I know this is an old tutorial but it's interesting every chord chart and tutorial has the 3rd chord as B flat when it's actually B flat 7. Have a listen. There is a big difference.

[@adorablegirl1559]

This is my favourite guitar lesson thank you teacher ... This just makes me so happy

[@boneyrone]

Great Job Justin and Pretty Lady... One of my students uses one of your books in his study with us( you and I )... Best wishes !!!

[@hannahcueva5745]

super good tutorial *-* I love it! now i know torn in my guitar :$

[@bluehorizon9435]

Wow, you two make a really good combination: you, a great guitarist, and the lady, a great vocalist! More please!

[@juanmoralesvideo]

You mean by EDNASWAP?

[@AviChetriArtwork]

You mean by Lis Sørensen

[@RichardBreed]

Hi Justine, two things: 1...who is yuour fabulous singer? ...it appears effortless for her to emulate a very pro singer... If she's an aspiring rockstar..I want to give my support, and 2.) you always get me, to look at sometying I have no buisness looking at...buuut: evidently...I did need to look at it..., ok< may I haVE a follow up? thanks3.) Why cant i Find yolu playing your hits, on the web? Now hold on, I ask this with the great respect I hold for you...as well as tempt you to join a cadre of musicians...some unknown...some not so unknown like Paul (of PRS), Don (Created the Taylor neck...), Mack (wrote Spooky, ), and a few who played Woodstock. The instigation for my creation of a panel, was to answer the

[@trshmnyinyoface]

Wow. Marry me? Both of you? Lol jk bad ass don't care about learning. But the cords.. Both guitar and vocal... So wicked. So sexy.

[@InsignificantSpeckOfDust]

I thought this was Larry Miller playing guitar...the guy totally looks like him. (Larry Miller the actor/ comedian for those who don't know) This song is better played with a capo on the fifth fret...Although I have seen Natalie's band play it open as well...the capo just gives it the more ringing sound...which is what they did on the studio version I believe.

[@raghinijagmohan3614]

her voice OMGGGGGGGG INLOVE

[@thelemonsqueeze2]

She is a great singer, and as always great from you too Justine

[@seanmac65mac58]

that lady has one hell of a beautiful voice ...

[@RichardBreed]

i always so enjoy you

[@gcsoulsurfer5660]

You can play this with less bar chords. I play without a pick. This gives me the option to use open chords and mute them with your strumming hand. It works extra well , when you play the song in a band. Everything else is covered. And it sounds good.

[@StevePhillips]

Salena M * does great cover she has fabulous warm voice, see on Justin's website he puts original sound track or video up as well. The video of this track Natalie Imbruglia is wearing Justin's coat uh!!! Maybe one like it? As always great lesson.

[@martinharvey2390]

Interesting watching this, i have a different version to this with a Capo at 5th fret. Eliminates the barre chords, apart from F.

[@marthaasinomera7858]

Wow... beautiful 💖

[@aarontiktin129]

How do I play the C?

[@BradburyNO]

I wonder if it conscious to place Salena so that the logo in the top right hand corner looks like a flower in her hair...

[@RichardBreed]

dude! vyou have over a million subs?! You deserve that...because you sincerely care about us dweebs....I think you had like4 200,000 last time I checked in...and my day of discovering..you had 22,000.

[@kentreed]

Justin: i think your videos are excellent and and your personality engaging. However, for a beginner/intermediate your explanation of when to press and release chord while strumming "Torn" was perfunctory compared to time spent on strumming pattern. Dampening is EQUALLY important seems to me..and although I got the strumming pattern down, combining the two is difficult because the only way I can figure it is to watch your fingers depress the strings in the video. Perhaps you will reply? Thanks..

[@rndea100]

nice easy lesseon thanks bro took like couple mins just gota learn the words now

[@youssefkhalil]

Hi, What’s that C chord?

[@broadu8337]

I'm with you. Still didn't figure it out.

[@TheIvanradovanovic]

Finaly did this, after 10 months of playing guitar. I have tried this song before but the rhythm was quite a pain and that A shaped C chord seemed impossible at that point. What helped me is playing the rhythm slowly with a metronome (60-70-80-90) and always keep that right hand moving and tapping foot on 1-2-3-4 beat only. And of course follow Justinguitar intermediate course.

[@johnupdate]

For everyone who (like me) didn‘t know yet, that Natalie imbruglias Version of this Song was actually a cover - check out the original version : it‘s from „ednaswap“ and has totally different vibes

[@Vick--1052]

Just looking at you doing the strumming is making my arm tired.

[@defloresclaude]

Bonjour pourriez vous a chaque debut de la lecon .nous donner une note d accord pour avoir le meme son que vous . merci beaucoup Justin.

[@cameronsmith8730]

As usual awesome work Justin.Who is your vocalist and is there any other uploads of her in action ? Ty Sir

[@gunnarkniza4902]

I can play the song on my guitar. But play and sing is not possible for me. 😣 When i begin to sing i'm out of stumming. Is there any people to give me a tip.

[@Nicthestick]

would anyone know where to find the tab of the original by Ednaswap?

[@stellawhite6869]

You are awesome! You are a great teacher! The way you teach is so good. Thank you for this! I am wondering if you can teach me how to play MY FAVORITE MISTAKE by Sheryl Crow? Please?

[@StevePhillips]

She sounds better than original lovely voice, brilliant cover, good sound back track to Justin he! he!

[@melodyomorogbe]

Can you show me how to make that "C" ??

[@JustinGuitarSongs]

The C is a regular "A shape barre chord" with the root note (c) on the A string, third fret. More info on how to do this shape: www.justinguitar.com/guitar-lessons/a-shape-major-barre-chord-grip-im-131 | LievenDV | JustinGuitar Official Guide

[@melodyomorogbe]

@@JustinGuitarSongs thank you very much

[@gerhardbinkele3753]

The strumming is not 100% original (but the differenz is very lttle). Great Tutorial!!!

[@Tzadeck]

Actually, much like with guitar playing, there is a technical side to singing so there is some objectivity. I don't like Whitney Housten's singing, becase it's not the type of music I like. But she was a technically great singer, there's no question about it. You know what's arrogant? Making fun of a guy's voice for no reason, as he's doing you the favor of giving you amazing free guitar lessons. If you don't personally like Justin's voice the proper way to handle it is to say nothing.

[@seanmac65mac58]

that girl can sign my friend

[@drav3nat0r]

she can sing as well

[@dannyodonnell738]

@@drav3nat0r hahahaha, brilliant

[@davidbradley9979]

Great strumming pattern, your good guitar playing, the ladies good voice has really brought the song to life, really inspired me, thank you for that,David

[@beableish]

thanks its easier to stay in first fret for most of the chords .

[@jimioutback2662]

Great lesson and performance guys. Natalie Imbruglia was so beautiful and sang this song so awesomely back in the before time, the long long ago :)

[@nobilismaximus]

Love the comment " as long as you have the chords and the strumming, you got the tune" I mean proper funny . But in a nice way

[@nathanking4234]

Funny....you don't play with an accent.

[@LikeableSlinky]

Do you know - Big Three Killed My Baby by The White Stripes or any other White Stripes for that matter, except seven nation army as it's everywhere.

[@elozern402]

very good guitar lesson! but the female singer uses wrong lyrics at some points ^^

[@gerhardbinkele3753]

o.k. - I checked it out one more time - it's exact the live-Version - not the official single!

[@adamdasilva1332]

9 years ago?!! Really? Oh my god.

[@ne_moroch_meni_holovu]

Justin is a really good teacher, but I can't deny, that girl sings pretty amazing...

[@nixonmendeed]

Very comprehensive lesson mate, your a good teacher :)

[@markh1085]

Great song. Yes the barre stretch hurts.

[@jimmyjimmy8439]

Justin, could please send me the guitar chords of this song.

[@SamDePasquale]

Love the videos as always Justin, and as much as Salena is a great singer, we really miss your singing!!

[@snow3519]

YEAH I know far out man, I get it right and so good for like 8-9 x the 16 1e+a2e+a etc and then I mess it up once im like nooooo..... far out. I think I should just slow down a bit and feel it and stop counting, although counting helps heaps...

[@hanssapei5663]

Great lesson ty Justin. It really help to write the strumming pattern down

[@baileyrussell2929]

another great video justin great teacher, she has a rockin voice aswell, could you make a video of along the watchtower either jimi hendrix or bob dyan thanks

[@lacipapa007]

i'd love to hear Unwritten by Natasha Bedingfield as you playing/teaching the song on guitar and Salena singing, because it's a nice tune and it'd fit her beautiful voice. anyway you're Awesome! keep on teaching! Thx!

[@DridgeDEU]

By the way, this song is fairly easy, I don't even need the lesson to get this, just looking at him is all it needs ^^ Anyway, great teaching as always!

[@skatskau1102]

Extra hi fi super mega ultra bro ))

[@HumphreyBriggs]

I'm sure Justin has taught me this song before, is this an updated version?

[@blindriv3r]

great video, here is the songwriter doing it, sound quality not great watch?v=Z6E2whjUOcY

[@nobilismaximus]

Bit like Jim Jeffery's " we're at the football" lol! Epic

[@elchapi366]

She kinda look like alanis morriset

[@crescentic_arts]

Please tell me the strumming pattern 🥺🥺

[@jacklucas2428]

No offence but if this is a tutorial what's with the first 3 min

[@funnydio5638]

Great lesson, thanks !! Not having so much troubles with the strumming though, i guess you just have to feel the song to play it right. I just wondered, do you play the high e string when you play the C chord ? I can't really figure out how to NOT play the string while strumming haha

[@TheIvanradovanovic]

He said earlier that muting the e string sounds even better and is totally fine

[@guillaumelegouix8600]

You rock Justin ! Thank you for killing my hand !

[@Myamoto70]

Great tuto . Nice song. thx Justin
