Norwegian Wood Guitar Lesson | The Beatles

[@davidpedernera8525]

I started guitar late in life at 64 if must know and I always thought that you had start when you were a kid , thank you so much for proving me wrong and teaching this old dog new tricks, you're the best!

[@rahulkanai]

How does one even live that long

[@thewebadventurer2958]

​@@rahulkanai Mate, how old are you?

[@untalentedclod]

A couple of quick observations. First, this is an excellent lesson and I'm fascinated that any lesson of this quality is free. Second, why would anyone give this a thumbs down? As a slightly advanced beginner that has been hacking away at the same I IV V 1st position chords for FAR to long, this lesson is a godsend. I just wish that the folks that voted it down said WHY. Wonderful lesson, clear, concise. Learning to play guitar when you're in your 50's and 60's is tough. Playing the rhythm and melody at the same time to a song is at least identifiable can be pretty tricky for anyone other than advanced players. This is one of the few songs I can do that with now. Thanks Justin.

[@danielivanzamarron7853]

The lesson is not for free pal, by doing this kind of videos, Justin is gaining suscribers, likes and getting paid by youtube!

[@user-sl4sx6dp4c]

pretty sure i didnt pay anything for this. Hence why it's free from our POV

[@dairymilkooarr3064]

It is free you halfwit, how much did you pay for it?

[@jumpercable20]

Nek. the thumbs down are because there are people that would love to play the guitar but don't want to put any effort into it. Kind of like getting off the sofa to change a TV channel. Lazy. the only thing that makes them feel good is putting other people that are better than them down. They don't know by now that everything in life takes some effort. So these people will never be happy. Just existing one day after the other until the end, so sad. I wish I could write a song for the loosers in the world.

[@waxhead63]

👎🏻 are from heavy metal deaf brigade who no longer have sensitive hearing 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@AlergicToSnow]

I'm completely baffled why anyone would give a thumbs down to this video.

[@MrCameron9000]

Dude!! Thank you so much for teaching us this song!! This has always been my favorite Beatles song!! I'm soon playing this for my grandmother at her anniversary. Wish me luck!!

[@Keith-vf9ml]

Good luck buddy

[@Billyray195159]

I Like when you start out with the Cover,it show's what we're in store for & our Main goal of the song. Thank's JUSTIN !!! ♫

[@nintendianajones64]

Justin can you please do a lesson on Across the Universe by the Beatles? It's such a beautiful song.

[@patricklippert7453]

Excellent lesson... Justin really has the best teaching style. I really hate other instructor videos that start with 2 minutes of "click my link, blah, blah, blah" ;-) One variation I like on this song: Use Em7 instead of Em and A7 instead of A for the bridge section.

[@RedJester93]

Justin do you have a video for everything. You pop up constantly no matter what im searching for. Since I started learning guitar about 10 years ago your consistently appearing on my computer with every song and technique I want to learn.

[@thelastrebelshow1627]

Red Jester It's even easier if you subscribe.

[@karmapolice3335]

after hammering on d and e string the strumming pattern is not lear please explain me

[@thelastrebelshow1627]

sudeep karam give up its to advanced for you.

[@karmapolice3335]

thts what i thought ...now i got it...its actually pretty easy just need to watch the video couple of times that's it

[@thelastrebelshow1627]

sudeep karam See, I knew if I gave you shit you would get it.✨😆🤘✨🇺🇸

[@sudhindrak]

I think this song brings out the best in Justin.. he deals with the entire melody with such ease.. just a treat to watch!

[@charlie-obrien]

Justin, thanks to you (and your beginner to intermediate lessons), After a lifetime of loving this song and being stuck at "beginner" with my playing, "Norwegian Wood" is coming out of my guitar. It feels better than I could ever have imagined.

[@arnoldlayne1986]

Justin has an ability to teach a song, that you have been trying to figure out for weeks, so you learn it perfectly in 10 minutes.. I'm very grateful.. thanks

[@akm9238]

I wish I could learn this perfectly in 10 minutes, it'll take me probably 10 days haha. But yeah, Justin's teaching ability is amazing!

[@pandamana4744]

I learned this this weekend and it brought me so much joy. Thank you Justin

[@es_for1]

ur singing has evolved so much, ur really good man

[@sudhindrak]

It is hard to ignore the beauty of that simple melody that has its basis in that simple D chord. Now, playing that is another story. Guess that's why The Beatles are what they are. Thanks Justin for another wonderful lesson!

[@ShuTV42]

I love it when you play the whole song trough, it really helps, especially with the getting the singing and guitar rythm in place.

[@ultraviolence6839]

Thank you, Haruki Murakami for bringing hope and light yet at the same time for breaking my heart. You brought fire to my soul and enliven my mind reading the book. It was bound to happen. I knew it coming with Naoko. It was just too sad to hope and to know that it will happen. It was hard-hitting. But thank you. For making it so real, raw and honest. You broke me. But thank you.

[@jorgenstil]

This.

[@chadchadman5056]

I used to adjust the capo so it gave a twang ..like a sitar !

[@samosamusic]

Yeah, dude leaving us having here

[@eugeniolejarza9702]

Hey bro they’ve been waiting for two years don’t you think it’s about time to say how you did it

[@enthra1728]

I think he just put the capo slightly over the fretwire so that it rattled a little bit. Mess around with the position of your capo until it sounds rattly.

[@Bobbymcduff42]

when you get to 2:20 rewind it and play it again to really get the nuances of this playing! great job as always Justin.

[@Cocoanbiscuits]

This is one of those songs that was and is a gift to the entire world. Thank you Justin.

[@lorikaye2429]

Thank you so much. I have been a huge Beatles fan since I was 11 and have learned how to play my favorites from you. I keep coming back here over and over. There's something about your smile and personality that I find both calming and encouraging. This is one of my favorite Beatles songs, now Ican play it.😁

[@timhansen4556]

So, as far as learning this great Beatles riff nearly 50 years after it hit the planet, I can only say "thanks, Justin!", better late than never...

[@Spielkind45]

That's so great! Thanx Justin!

[@paulm5025]

What a fantastic teacher Justin is! Thanks so much Justin!

[@Iamadisco_dancer]

Hands down.. best guitar teacher on KZbin. Thanks man!

[@JCloyd-ys1fm]

I really appreciate your breakdown of the timing and rhythm. I find that rhythm is the most important thing and sometimes my timing is a bit off.

[@rodx5571]

For any beginners watching this lesson, several guitar teachers i know use this as a dexterity exercise. another good one is copperhead road by Steve earl. Its also quite similar chord structure.

[@DudesAndBros]

Justin, I am from Liverpool, England. Lennon actually sings "she WORKED In the morning and started to laugh," not she walked in the morning et al. We Brits have trouble rolling the letter R. You sound like a brit....are you. You do a great job teaching and seem like a nice talented lad. Please keep up the teaching. Tara lah

[@1952biggredd]

I love that you are so into playing that song.

[@carlosdiaz5423]

I found this song from my childhood, which is a journey of sensations and indescribable emotions, I wanted to touch her and I found this the best tutorial. many thank you very much for your pedagogy amigo.Un fraternal embrace from Santiago

[@supergimbert]

Never tried learning this. Stumbled across it. Now I know it. My life is complete great work

[@flux1968]

This is the best lesson for this song I've seen. Unlike others, you include the rhythm and strum pattern, which makes a lot of difference in how it sounds.

[@piedpeter1]

Thank you Justin. You are doing the world s great service with your lessons!

[@timphelan6908]

Ok. That’s it. You’re the only tutorial I’ll be watching from now on . Thank you for such a great lesson.

[@joshjacome]

Id never head this before untill I was surfing colin hay. He dose it differntly but you gave me the ground work to learn it. Any time I have a hard time learning a great song your always there. Thanx!!

[@KingColliwog]

So happy you made that. Your choice of song is amazing and you're the best teacher around. I'm very happy to buy your books to help your out, keep being awesome!

Great lesson Justin. Thanks much. Will donate based on this lesson alone.

[@Potaters12]

You broke this down really well and made it super easy for me to pick up. I started looking at the tab and thought the song was way out of my league, but turns out it really wasn't. Thanks for explaining things so well!

[@cubo6653]

Thanks Norwegian Wood is my song favorite for rubber soul

[@sunking2001]

Very well done. I'm sure you are as amazed as everyone else...how John could come up with a "true classic"...WELL IT WASN'T HIS FIRST ONE!

[@jumpercable20]

What's really strange is that John hated some of the songs he recorded. To me all the Beatles songs were great.

[@skyisthelimit757]

wow perfect timing just got a capo and this song was the first on my list for once i got it

[@zaheerpatel2449]

Dude you rock. One of my favourite songs. Being a beginner I am becoming impatient and want to learn all the songs but not finishing any. Dont suppose you have a lesson for that 😁

[@sundaynightdrunk]

I know this is six years too late, but it might help others. Learn the song as you do, but don't settle that you "have it" learned until you can listen to the original in the car, in your headphones, or anywhere far from the guitar. Listen carefully. When you next attempt the song, set your phone's voice memo to record it. Listen back later, in the car, on your headphones, or anywhere away from the guitar and see what you think. That's what others are hearing when you play it. Do you have it down? Probably not. Go home and get it down.

[@Sh1mna]

An excellent choice Justin for beginners and one of those beautiful Beatles' songs that doesn't get much airplay. Oddly enough this was one of the first songs I learned when I first took up the guitar several years ago. It sounds great when played on a twelve string but it took me a while to to build up enough callouses on my fingertips before I could play it!

[@howie9751]

This sounds the best of the KZbin lessons.

[@argyle55]

[@talebg]

Awesome!!! I'm so glad there's more and more Beatles' songs lessons. But since this is one of my favorite songs, I've got to try and transcribe some on my own before checking the lesson. Thanks, J, keep rockin'!

really great ... Thanks ... I needed to get on track. however I feel it's better to end the first part by A5 D4 pull off 2 A2

Justin, I am stoked. Your version sounds awesome. It sounds so close to the original. Much better than other versions I've heard on guitar.

[@jedkrantz7003]

Really tells you all you need to know with neither muss nor fuss! Great teaching technique. if one can surmount or rather appreciate the particularities of Beatles tunes, there's room for interpretation and adding minor pebbles to the edifice as long as one is respectful of what's really there. Thanks so much!
