23Minutes et 44 seconde de plaisir intense quand c'est une chanson que tu gardes a l'oeil en esperant que ton mentor en fasses un tutoriel, David je suis impatient de voir ton strumming la dessus,petite plaisanterie entre les eleves de l'academie stellaire,comment vous n'etes pas encore a l'académie osez passer la porte ,franchisse le cap Merci Amber toujours aux top sur tous les réseaux, Formidable 🥰🥰🥰 23 minutes and 44 seconds of intense pleasure when it's a song you keep an eye on hoping that your mentor will make it a tutorial, David I can't wait to see your strumming on it, little joke between the students of the stellar academy, how you are not yet at the academy dare to pass the door, cross the course Thank you Amber always at the top on all networks, Formidable

[@jimmorrill5927]

Hello! I just stumbled onto your channel today and am so glad I did! I have been playing guitar for many years but only have intermediate skills. I love the way you explain the chords, show how you play them, show alternatives, and display the chord names/progression. This method allows the person to learn the basics then pause the video and practice (and be reminded of the progression on screen). Also, thanks for describing and showing strumming patterns! I notice many of your videos end with you playing the song through while showing lyrics and the chords- this is an awesome idea and so helpful to get to play along!! The icing on the cake to all of this is your kind demeanor and subtle smiles as you play and explain. Lovely! Thank you for posting these lessons and keep up the GREAT work 🙏

[@thestellarguitarist]

Hi Jim, wow what a truly amazing review. Thank you so much for your very kind words and for highlighting some of the things that you enjoy in my lessons - It definitely encourages me to keep using the graphics and to continue with the play alongs at the end of each lesson. I am thrilled that these aspects in my lessons are so helpful 😁🎵 Thanks for tuning in and hope to see you in another lesson soon!

Hi Amber- how very thoughtful of you to take the time to respond to my comment! Not necessary but much appreciated. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that you wrote a response as you seem to be a genuine and kind person! Thanks again for what you are doing and for being who you are!

[@countryharry3101]

Hello. Your F major chord doesn't sound correct. You have to grip the B side and the high E side on the first fret with your index finger in barre at the same time. You only grab the B side but without the E side. So you're cheating a little. Kind regards, Harry

[@Dantianblue]

She's playing f major 7 though.

Exactly 😊🎵

I’m playing an Fmaj7 chord which I teach to help beginners play songs that have an F chord 😊

[@gutefrage879]

It is a very difficult in this video to learn a song. Too long and to much information. Do you sing and play the howle song at any part? Look at swifft lesson, where you can see a very good way to teach songs. First play the howle song. That is a great motivation for the learner to the result in the beginning. Then very quickly go through the cords. Then show slowly the parts of the song. In the end you can also make a special for beginners or advanced players...

[@thestellarguitarist]

Hi! Each person is entitled to their own way of doing things and teaching on their channel. Swift Lessons is great, if you want to watch someone perform the song first for 3 minutes, then he's the guy for you. Personally, I've never sat down in a guitar lesson and played a song for 3 minutes to a student. That's a performance in my opinion, I am not a performer. I am a teacher. So I teach the song in bite size pieces from beginning to end, with the final product being a full play through of the song, with the chords and lyrics up on the screen. Please use the chapters marked in the lessons to navigate to the play along if you want to see the song first before learning it in the correct order.

[@gutefrage879]

@@thestellarguitarist that is ok, when you can personalise the lesson. But on youtube this is not realy possible. Maybe people will like your lessons, I feel uncomfortable always going forward and back to find the parts which are important for me. Also when you already learned a lesson and you forget some parts, it is easy just to watch the perfomance and everything comes back. But of course you can do it like you like. It is definitely not the kind I want to learn or be teached on youtube.
