[@JohnG-xi1cl]

Me again from the other side of the pond. I'm no stranger to the guitar or music, albeit I play by ear only. Many yrs ago, I lived and worked in Jamaica on a 1 yr contract. A long story short...Bob Marley & reggae are no stranger to my ears. While there, I was taught that reggae is played on the back beat. I never gave it much more thought until I came across your tutorial of this song. Your version is bang on musically. Just for the fun of it, give it a go with the back beat😎 "No woman no cry & Redemption song" you'll enjoy as well. I'm 74 yrs old and music is in my bones, I'll keep in touch because I have an interesting story to share about one night in Jamaica and Redemption song... Season's Greeting...

[@thestellarguitarist]

Hi John! Cool story, yes reggae is all about accenting that back beat 😎 thanks for sharing and for supporting my channel- it means a lot! See you in the next lesson 🎵✨

[@LorettaChapman-d9m]

Love your tutorial! I'm 66 and just learning Three Little Birds as my first song and love having some strumming techniques to add to my practice. Look forward to another beginner video.

[@thestellarguitarist]

Another brilliant performance, many thanks.

[@thestellarguitarist]

Thank you so much! 🎵 I am really glad that my tutorial has been so helpful 🎸⭐️

[@lorenneufeld4306]

For the A Chord, if you use your first finger on the 3rd string (G), reading low-high strings= X02130, you will definitely find these three chord changes much easier BECAUSE the 1st finger stays on the 3rd string throughout, just shifting from 2nd fret ( A and D Chords) to first fret for the E Chord. And besides, you will notice that the A chord notes will sound clearer, as opposed to the 'cluster' of XO1230 fingering. Try it, you'll see, hear and notice the difference with this fingering that I just explained. Cool Bob Marley song.

[@davidcarr9003]

That's how I learnt to play A, E and D, my first 3 chords 😊

[@thestellarguitarist]

Too true!

Hi i just started seeing some of your videos and very helpful. I can already play some Chords and I'm trying to learn how to play Africa by Toto.. Do you have a tutorial on this and how to get better at bar Chords thanks.. Keep the videos coming. 👍

[@thestellarguitarist]

Hello 😊 I’m so glad you find my tutorials helpful 🎸 I don’t have a lesson on Africa yet.. I’ll check it out. 🎵

[@GodsStoryteller]

A second request; How exactly do i know what chords best suit my songs, if i write a song? And in the phrases, when do i likely have a change in chord introduced? Id love to play something for my songs. A beginner here.

[@thestellarguitarist]

This is a really loaded question and quite tough to explain in a written message. When you write your first song, I'd suggest keeping it simple with a chord change over every 4 beats. When it comes to lyrics, you should try work on not having too many syllables - so keep your sentences short at first, just to get into the song writing groove. There are some wonderful KZbin channels out there specifically aimed at helping people write songs. You may want to explore that for some more guidance and expertise. Good luck! 🎵

[@GodsStoryteller]

@@thestellarguitarist it's somewhat different. I've written a lot of songs. But now ...? I've gotten into learning to play the guitar. Reason is ...I want to play for my songs. I believe I'd get around it somehow. Thanks.

[@GodsStoryteller]

You know stellar,. Id love to make a request; It sounds good that a beginner gets into the exact time the chord changes in a song. Can you please SPEND A LITTLE MORE TIME in those your little songs of chords (in place of the words of a song? It helps loads.

[@thestellarguitarist]

I love your suggestion, I do really enjoy singing the chords out loud when they are meant to take place over the lyrics. Really happy it is so helpful! I'll definitely continue to do so in my lesson 😊

[@anthonybarber3872]

I'd love to see you teach The Banana Boat Song, (Day-O) by Harry Belafonte, also Jamaica Farewell..

[@thestellarguitarist]

Appreciate the request, I'll check it out 🎵 reminds me of what Freddie Mercury did live - the day-o part!

[@LauraGarcia-lm9xd]

A little confused on this one as I don't see you using the BDUxD for the verse during the final play through?

[@thestellarguitarist]

Hi Laura 😊 I teach 3 strumming patterns in the lesson. I chose to use the pop strumming pattern in the play along.

From where did you get the lyrics for this song?

[@thestellarguitarist]

Hi Mark, I’m not sure what you mean? The lyrics are from the song Three Little Birds, a quick google search will give you what you’re looking for 🙌

[@markc121070]

@thestellarguitarist This song was written to and for his son Ziggy Marley. "Ziggy, don't worry, about a thing. Because every little thing is going to be alright.'" Bob had a premonition about his death. 3 sparrows on our doorstep in the Caribbean is a sign of coming death.

[@thestellarguitarist]

Hi! It’s a Taylor GS mini mahogany

@@thestellarguitarist thank you so much you are amazing 🤩

[@DJyos]

@@thestellarguitarist I have a question. I'm debating which guitar to buy. Taylor 114e or GS mini . If you know what is better, I will be happy to know. Thank you 🙏

[@thestellarguitarist]

@@DJyos all I can say is I LOOOOVE my GS mini. I play it a lot. It's small, has a big sound and is light and easy to move around. The case is also super light. My Full size Taylor is just as lovely, but the one complaint I have is not about the guitar, but the case!!! It weights a ton. My honest opinion is that whichever Taylor you choose, you will be investing in an excellent guitar! Try both out if you can, which one feels and sounds better to you. Then make your choice 🎵
