Strawberry Fields Forever - The Beatles (Fingerstyle Guitar Lesson)

[@Texasbird026]

Of all the things this smart fella could be doing with his life, I am blessed by the fact he chose music. Glad he is not programming in an office somewhere.

[@Nuss-j4s]

no need for him, I took that job so he can teach us guitar.

[@arwahsapi]

Well, the way he handles all instruments on a single guitar I'm afraid he'll take everyone's job as a programmer

[@IrelandRobbie]

Josh Turner, you are a gift to the musicians of the world. Thank you!

[@Zayphar]

OMG the cord changes in this song! John and Paul were pure geniuses.

[@emmgeevideo]

Josh ain't so shabby himself...

[@BryceRogers_]

They both are geniuses, no doubt. This song, purportedly, was Lennon-written.

[@JoaoGabriel-lk9cv]

John wrote it. But yes, they were geniuses.

[@2424rocket]

We’ve been waiting forever for you to start Teaching. Good for you. All these years later and the Beatles music still reign supreme!

[@IssisLillemo]

Josh teaching isn't new; check out his tutorials for Eleanor Rigby & Still Crazy After All These Years, they're terrific.

[@randysandford4033]

This kid is AMAZING. He has grown so much within the last four or five years. He's always a pleasure to watch and hear.

[@Skinkenstein]

What a brilliant arrangement. The attention to detail is remarkable.

[@midn43]

Josh you have no idea how CALMING you music and videos are. It’s like easy mindfulness or yoga with moving. Thanks dude.

[@huihey1]

Who's the real genius here? The one having made it up or the one making it available for us on guitar? You shine, Josh! Love you, CU 10/12 in Amsterdam!

[@aumenarys]

Both?

[@zzzaphod8507]

@@aumenarys Yes, why does it have to be one or the other?

[@ellenmadsen7308]

Why choose?

[@danielgay4924]

Good grief man, you are so awesome. Thank you for having a teaching spirit. 30 years of playing and I'm still learning. Wish I had started as young as you. Love your videos, never stop.

[@k5935]

love this backdrop too, it gives nostalgic school photo day vibes

[@davemurphy1]

Thank you for taking the time to put this together.

[@patrickbrowne9308]

Josh this was wonderful ... I’ve lived with this song in my head all my life and it never fails to make me smile at its beauty ... nice one .

[@bartiyo2821]

This is not by far your best cover, but you have a strange and special charisma that makes me get stuck in front of your videos. I am writing from Spain. I always that I see you I wonder how you have not become a world star. You have the talent, the image, and as said, a strange and special charisma in front of the screen that I have not seen in years. Honestly, I think you should become a star.

[@DanLSand]

Yes, Josh, a public service!! That we needn’t set speed to .75X, you’re already there, with patient, independent fingers, and such a clear tenor! I say: your covers are respectful, yet you manage also to “own” each, by virtue, diligence, and no doubt affection for each. Thank you!!

[@zzzaphod8507]

Thank you so much for doing this Beatles arrangement in the first place as well as taking the time to go through it in detail in this video, great stuff!

[@nealchakrabarti495]

I spent 4 hours last night transcribing your original video and just saw that you posted this... Lol still worth it

[@Upside_Down_Guitar_Guy]

Dude I am so glad you made this tutorial!!! This is such a brilliant arrangement and that video is a piece of art

[@nalivesey]

Bravissimo, Joshua. I was blown away by your performance and never expected that you would take the time to attempt to educate us lesser mortals on the intricacies of your excellent arrangement.

[@dianeo]

Wow, this is wonderful. Having it broken down chord by chord like this reminds me of how simply complex the arrangements are. No wonder their music is timeless.

[@mattwamble5982]

More of these please 🙌🏻

[@yorrick1971]

Joshua Turner, you sir, are an absolute genius, and a very generous one at that. Thank you.

[@blessedpigeon6304]

honey pie, you are making me crazy i'd like to learn this song but i'm lazy to retune my guitar!

[@pietervl1877]

Yes, a turorial. Great!!

[@lukestone2002]

Josh, you deserve a Ph.D in music if you don't already have one.

[@NumDestesDias]

0:36 Finally, Josh Tuner !

[@joeycarter8846]

No way would I ever tackle this but it's fascinating and impressive how you arranged such a tricky & unusual tune. The final play through was crazy interesting. Bravo. I have to say, those four 20-something year-old lads from Liverpool made some amazing music.

[@DammitWalter]

Amazing! I hope you’ll do a video one day on your process of breaking down a song (like you did on this one) and how you came up with the arrangement. That would be a class in and of itself!

[@rvic11]

Wow what a talent you are, sounds great.

[@rebeccapugh2297]

This arrangement, and the companion performance video, are amazing.

[@magic2506]

I am so super sorry that I missed you back a while ago when you were in Atlanta. Thanks for this video. Even if I can just get some of this down to play for friends I appreciate it. Your arrangements are some of the best I have seen and heard. Thanks Josh!

[@philg9749]

It just goes to show what type of genius the Beatles were (Sir George Martin included of course). Incredible, and thank you so much for the arrangement and brautiful rendition

[@fifteenthfret]

Dearest Josh ~ It blows my mind to think how many times you had to lift the needle and drop it. (smile) Excellent, EXCELLENT tutorial! Thank you.

[@sergiorestrepo6657]

Thank you Josh. Your arrangement for this song is so good

[@danialafa]

I was waiting for this

[@seanignatuk3179]

As always, amazing! Your tutorials are a godsend! Never change!

[@omellil]

THANK YOU

[@a11pu1poj]

im immediately putting thsi in my 'tutorials' playlist for this weekend! Good stuff Josh!

[@dupuyphilippe3341]

Je l attendais tellement, Merci beaucoup !!

[@gonczisimon1418]

Here We Go!🎉🎉

[@1105renrut]

Fantastic video even though I don’t play guitar. Still, I’ve always loved this song & I’ve always been enough of a musician to be intrigued by how you managed to put a whole orchestra in a very complicated song while still singing perfectly in tune! And now you’ve done all that while describing every difficult thing you are doing in amazing detail! Bravo! I am also very impressed by the new words & phrases I’ve learned while watching. Braining? Sinisterly psychedelic? Ffffft, fffffft! Love it!

[@1105renrut]

❤😂❤

[@gregorymiller1875]

Huge fan, try to see you whenever you are in Philly. Ardmore and City Winery shows were awesome. Cheers!

[@jaguarsunburst1570]

Great Video Mr.Turner. Thankyou 🎸🎶🎸 🎶 God Bless You. 🙏🙏🙏

[@tracythorleifson]

Such a cool arrangement. Just, wow! 🥰

[@WilmsterUK]

Amazing video. Love this. So clear

[@fnl62fnl62]

Noticed josh is one of a number of young talents nowadays. Watched his stardust with allison it was a jaw-dropping take.

[@antoniobriciomoreno7190]

Josh is real musician...genius!

[@brunorafaelsantos7168]

i give up on the tunning part :( Joking 😁 Thank you so much for your accuracy in this masterclass !

[@Guitarman04]

Very good Thank you Josh. From France Serge.

[@DublinesqueMusic]

Great show up at the Sound House in Dublin Ireland. It was a treat listening to you and Allison Young!

[@ONESNZER0S]

This is a fantastic gift!!! Thank you.

[@chrisofnottingham]

outstanding arrangement

[@realcygnus]

Helluva arrangement

[@m.c.7119]

Rien de moins que merveilleux!! Merci pour cette magnifique leçon!

[@JustinMartin-t7c]

Yur a scientist Josh. Stay Excellent!

[@jeremiahlyleseditor437]

Brilliant arrangement.

[@JamesAnderson-wft]

Hooray! Great....

[@dieselman7453]

Missed you guys in Ireland 🇮🇪 so pissed hope u enjoyed Dublin

[@halfajohn3233]

GREAT 3 weeks ago I spent 6h decyphrring the live video 🤓😁 but glad to see I had it riiiiight

[@lifetimeactor6789]

Thanks alot!

[@stardance9442]

Josh just think late night under the stars round the campfire .....yea know I'm not sure what to say! very nicely done .

[@iwerning]

I’m not sure I will practice it. But… It’s great to hear all the care and live you put into this arrangement! Thanks so much!! Always thought those hard hitting base notes plus trills at the end were great and that Bono of U2 had adapted them for Achtung Baby

[@iwerning]

PS: always shocks me to remember that John complained that they hadn’t put enough work or polish into this song! Their arrangement is extraordinary and the tape edit magic joining two takes and two feels makes it incredibly magical. Any remaining messiness (relative to the clean Penny Lane say) just adds to the magic of it. John was so wrong there!

[@PeterEllis-z3o]

Josh I assume the tuning was your solution to tackle the challenges of Strawberry Fields but have you used it for anything else? It’s a great tuning and reveals some surprising qualities. It’s always a joy to be taken to somewhere new and beautiful on the guitar. Thank you.

[@RafaelAbiSaber]

Thanks for the lesson, you are incredible

[@Richard-1776]

You sure are a talented guy. You’re the American youtube equivalent of the Greek God Apollo! Why? Because I like ancient Greece and wanted to cite them, but on a less pontificating and on a matter of fact “note,” pun intended, because your music is actually “art” and of a quality befitting the ancient Greeks. The world NEEDS real talent like you; people's souls are tattered today. Music is a magical and powerful thing, and you don’t misuse your power/talent. “God”, or gods Indeed, because you have been blessed, for you are truly gifted. Even people in France, well a couple at least, know who you and your “bell oiseau chanteur aux cheveux roux” are. Because when she sang that song in french, i mentioned it to them, and they already about it, and they knew who both of you were, and were fans…That’s pretty good if you ask me. I was shocked they knew about you two. Thanks or the lesson and all the beautiful music. At heart, I'm a metal-head, so I should NOT bitch about music that could be qualified as noise, but I love all guitar music, acoustic guitar as much as any other sort ( that’s all I play is acoustic), and i do appreciate real talent, and I love the Beatles, but who doesn't. Sorry, I like to write things.

[@sambojambo9448]

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌 WOW!!!

[@Peter-pb8jg]

Ringo would be proud!😁

[@claudeconfort1170]

Hi Josh !! thank U, awesome arrangement ! Is this a baritone guitar ?

[@LoftyAssertions]

I'd love a guitar tour, you have some really interesting ones

[@basil8651]

Think I’d best enjoy your performance! This looks a bit tough in spots. Great lesson though. Better still, I’ll share this with two of my band mates, as we used to cover this.

[@GuyWithGaming]

Josh is finally doing some John songs! I swear almost all his covers up to this point were Paul ones 🤣

[@toneseeker4968]

I love you, think your brilliant, and have been watching your career for years. Isn't there an easier arrangement than this one that doesn't require as many hoops to sound authentic and good....or is this really the ONLY way to get there?

[@nealegordon]

Thanks for doing this Josh! You are a master. Superb rendition. How on earth did you work all that out. Must have taken you months! Cheers from UK

[@charlesford157]

If you haven't already, check out the short for this lesson. It's not as detailed but Josh covers all the basics of the basics. That popped up in my feed yesterday so I already knew none of this.

[@DanielMendoza-dt9ms]

GENIO LENNON CRACK TÚ POR SUBIR ESTA CANCIÓN

[@luckydog-287]

Josh the Super Dude.

[@orlandoguitarist]

Thank you for the lengthy lesson on a masterful arrangement! P.S. - How much longer do we have to wait to hear Allison's voice again??? 😉

[@BakerVS]

An incredibly creative arrangement, well done! Thanks for publishing the lesson. How long did it take to work out (and practice)?

[@max_mittler]

"this shape is X2202X" - ah, I see you also speak ultimate guitarian

[@WysteriaGuitar]

Masterclass...

[@michaelfuller34]

Thanks! Awesome work especially the tuning! Would you consider a tutorial on your Interlude?

[@beckygibson6843]

Hi Josh!

[@zander3096]

holy shit I must learn this

[@B.R.0101]

At the start of the song I thought I was watching a young Matthew Broderick in a breakdown of some of his movies!

[@DanRelayer_Ukraine]

Thanks so much!

[@TheJimNeiL]

👏👏👏

[@urok6751]

YEEEES

[@guitaleleoeuvre]

Oh, THANK YOU for warning folk that extreme tuning could be harmful for certain guitars! (I've got a Martin that I'm leary of even putting into a simple "drop-D"!)

[@sameersmerchant]

awesome

[@Catman1116]

Gee, you didn't work on that or anything, did you Josh? lol Seriously, this is what good music is about: inspiration, then lots of work getting it just right.

[@waltermitty2591]

You lost me at the tuning. But thanks for this! 😊

[@santiagogonzalez8568]

Great tutorial ! Please do A Day in the Life 🙏

[@mr.shinesmysterychannel3046]

Nice! 😎

[@adamnelson1839]

Blackwaterside next pleasseee

[@kenton6098]

To have composed this originally...just some lads from Liverpool with no formal music training, who had some talent, paid their dues, stuck with it, and began experimenting in the studio.

[@andrasrevesz1374]

After "BFCFAD" tuning, do the other sounds still sound clear?

[@sportfan83]

Please Josh, next summer come to the south of France...

[@travismac1149]

Fuck me. That's amazing. Thankyou!

[@UncleSam-USofA]

wow

[@jeffo7188]

More tutorials please

[@deathisimminent9518]

no way man thanks what

[@pandesalisgood]

Did you use nickel strings for this Josh?
