Hello friends,
and welcome to another by request song tutorial. In today's session I'll be taking our picking to the next level with a full break down of The Beatles' 1965 classic "Norwegian Wood." I'll take you through the main guitar part for the verse and chorus sections, and the chord progression and strumming options for the chorus. Let's get started!

John had the habit of strumming really close to the bridge so try that if you want it to sound even better

[@olliedylan1381]

Robinson Crusoe where you strum doesn’t really make a difference. It’s just wherever you feel most comfortable

[@aradieschen4880]

Great tip, thanks. Sounds much more like the recording. That lennon guy - like putting your finger into a power outlet

[@famatu]

@@olliedylan1381 it actually does sound quite different

She knew that my memories of her would fade. Which is precisely why she begged me never to forget her, to remember that she had existed. The thought fills me with an almost unbearable sorrow. Because Naoko never loved me

[@truckerkevthepaidtourist]

one easy change that I find really works good with this one instead of an E minor go to an E minor 7 and then the instead an A major go to an A7 for the turnaround. try it and see. you're only adding one extra finger to the Eminor and removing one finger for the A7

Awesome lesson and one of my favourite songs.

[@alanzhang2123]

Could you play ring of fire?

[@Thomas-yr3id]

I need songs to do for my music test but I'm not sure if I can do that intro whilst singing, could I just play the chords or what should I do ?

[@titiguitare1]

Thank your four your lessons: great playing and wonderful voice. I sing and play with you every week, and I can measure the progress.

[@KaliGuzman5572]

A question Rob, i want to be a patron as long as i can print your tablatures or your songbook (my eyes are getting enough about screens) so is it possible?...thanks a lot lessons are great!!....from Aztecs land, Fernando

[@lylewilliams1371]

Thank you, Swift!

[@swiftlessons]

Always a pleasure, especially when it comes to Beatles tunes!

[@2kThrillaMwKilla]

You should try penny lane

[@dimwitsadvocate6264]

It doesn't sound like there is a backing track for the guitar playing in the demo. It seems I could play this solo and it would sound great.

[@anthonyangelis1094]

[@jeanlauzon3870]

Played on Quebec Wood, sounds just right, lol, Thanks Rob for doing this Gem from John Lennon.

[@debopriyomandal2035]

Reminds me of Naoko from Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami.

[@lolitakubrick7790]

Gripping the receiver, I raised my heads and turned to see what lay beyond the phone box. Where was I now? I had no idea. No idea at all. Where was this place? All that flashed into my eyes were the countless shapes of people walking by to nowhere. Again and again I called out for Midori from the dead centre of this place that was no place.

[@abhyudayraj4473]

Thank you!!

you are a big teacher blessing from costa rica

[@gbosca1]

Very nice,fantastic job. This Seagull is a Entourage Rustic Grand?

[@swiftlessons]

Indeed it is! Can't recommend this little parlor sized guitar enough. For anyone who's interested, here's the link: amzn.to/2u9FYLZ

[@gbosca1]

thanks a lot

[@flouisbailey]

Did John and George use a capo or even own one. You impressed me, new subscriber

[@psych336]

Yes. They used a capo on this song themselves. George often used the Capo, Here comes the sun is capo’d at the 7th fret.

[@flux1968]

Great lesson, but I have one question. Where you leave the pinky at 4:30, and do the strum, does it have to stay there? When I leave it, my pinky mutes the G string. It doesn't look like you strum the D string anyway, or am I wrong about that? Maybe I can just remove the pinky before the strum?

[@jaydoe9914]

Pee Wee on a Telecaster! LOL

[@surajs5266]

My pinky is not strong enough i guess 😕

[@glorioskiola]

Suraj S practice, it will get stronger.

[@surajs5266]

@@glorioskiola Yes that's exactly what i did. I'm able to play this easily now ❤️😊

[@vanillacreem816]

Perfect lesson as always Rob. If you have not already, can you give a lesson on Hotel California using a 12-string? Just purchased a Guild 12-string and that's one of the first songs I want to learn on my list playing a 12-string. Cheers!

[@MrVhutchinson]

When transitioning from the chorus back to the verse do you go to the D with the DDUDU pattern or start right into the hammer on the G chord ?

[@stefano.b65stef77]

Wow, you really got into Beatles two years ago.

[@blablachitchat]

What capo is he using? I started playing guitar 3 months ago and I want to buy a capo but I am not sure what to use 😐

[@truckerkevthepaidtourist]

any capo will work.👌👍 but for a beginner🤔 make sure it's for an acoustic guitar if you're playing acoustic, if you're playing an electric make sure you get an electric capo.. 🤔 yes there are differences😉 what I recommend simply is the Keyser quick release💃🕺✌️🍻 cheers happy playing😎🎶🎸🎤
