[@freizeitvideos5739]

I can say clearly now - you looks more professional than my unrythmic strumming

[@thestellarguitarist]

Try to stick with down strums for as long as possible to get comfortable with playing on the down beat 1,2,3,4. Then only start to experiment with up strums when you are ready! 🎶🎸

Hey Lady ! This was around the time of my first ever heartbreak - I heard it & it really choked me up , wept in my room . ( it still stings a bit to this day / but its a fave and so has V special meaning ) saw it in your channel and had to learn it . Just cracked it , with tears rolling down my face as I played it . Happy Tears, though . I'll never know you , but Thank You so much for giving me this moment ... Andy C ( I knew it as a Rod Stewart song )

[@thestellarguitarist]

Hi Andy 😃🎵 thanks for sharing your story and why this song means so much to you! Songs that mean a lot to us because of their lyrics or because we associate it with a tough time in our lives can really mean so much to us 🙏❤️ I’m so glad that you had breakthrough learning this special song 🎵 🙏👏🏻

Today is the first day I found out this song was written by Cat Stevens. I thought Sheryl Crow wrote it. And I never heard Rod Stewart's version !

Hi Alan 😊 the very first time I heard this song was the Sheryl Crowe version too!!!

[@AndrewMcgill-j5c]

Cat wrote it in 1965

The guitar IS in tune. Perhaps some ear-training would help you.

[@thestellarguitarist]

Hmmm lol ok!

[@0161Jinxter666]

I was replying to Duke who said your guitar is out of tune. I did not mean you needed ear-training.

Ooooh 😂 phew! I was a little offended 🤣 glad we cleared that up 🙏🎵thanks for coming to my defence! 👏🏻

Lol😂 I wanted to face punch him through the fone❤

shouldnt and be an up stroke

Not always, and can also be a down stroke.

Your guitar is not in tune.

🤔 my electronic tuner must be broken then!
