Guitar Tutorial: Billie Jean - cover by The Civil Wars

[@PercussiveStrings]

A suggestion: In a tutorial, you should always do a playthrough first before starting the actual tutorial so that the audience knows if that’s the sound they have come for! Cheers.

This is absolutely amazing! I have had this song stuck in my head and I am SO happy there is a tutorial so I can learn it!!!

[@willhelliwell]

Thank you so much for the kind words! I would love to get back to making more tutorials like this.

[@ShaggyGee]

So glad i finally found this i tried to play it by ear about 5-6 years ago and i got half of the first bar 😅 but now i can play it thanks to you keep it up will🎉

[@willhelliwell]

That's so cool! Glad this video is still reaching people. I haven't done a guitar tutorial in years.

[@ShaggyGee]

@@willhelliwell maybe you should try it again 🤔

[@steffanlittle5]

Nice, thx!

[@hugi4389]

Great tutorial man, loved it.

[@willhelliwell]

Thank you! Let me know if there any other tracks you'd like to learn. I spend most of my time composing music but always like learning new guitar pieces.

[@daydreamingruben686]

been searching for a tutorial on this a couple of years ago, nothing that could help me, but yours is just amazing ! liked and subscribed, thanks :)

[@willhelliwell]

So happy to hear that. I don't make many tutorials but it's definitely something I'd like to do more of if people enjoy it.

[@user_notfound7134]

Hugs from BR. Nice work, buddy! Ty for the video.

[@willhelliwell]

Thank you for the kind comment!

[@simonaddison1787]

Brilliant, thank you!

[@willhelliwell]

oh man I made this sooo many years ago. Glad people are still finding it useful! I need to play more guitar

[@dxdelafu]

Great job! Howdy from Texas.

[@willhelliwell]

Howdy! Thanks so much for watching.

[@samblack5313]

Gotta do a full run through at the start, my dude. Often can pick majority up from the play through then confirm bits with the tutorial. Cheers.

[@willhelliwell]

Sam Black noted! Thanks. Didn’t really research on how to do a good tutorial before I made this I just sort of went through it

[@samblack5313]

Will Helliwell It also lets us know that you can actually play it so we know the tutorial will be corrrrrrrrrrect 🙃

[@Supacold]

Awesome tutorial !!!

[@willhelliwell]

Supacold thanks so much! Need to do some more of these. Been a while since I’ve picked up the guitar

[@erfannadernezhad190]

Nice tatorial 🤝🤝

[@willhelliwell]

Thanks so much

[@CaesarFernandesMusic]

holy shit, this isnt as easy as it sounds

[@willhelliwell]

haha that's the reaction I had when I decided to learn it for a video lesson

[@markbraxton1289]

Maybe i missed it ..but you need to play the whole thing through without stopping so we actually have some idea how it's going to sound..properly! Your instructions are good on how to play...but nobody knows what the finished product sounds like !!?? A good .but poor easy way out instructional video!

[@willhelliwell]

Appreciate the response, thanks Mark. I'll keep that in mind for future tutorials

[@ronlight7013]

I love the lesson, but on repeated viewings I've come to notice the sound is out of sync with the picture ;-)

[@claudiocruzat7667]

Great..a cover of a cover of a m.jackson song.

[@willhelliwell]

Claudio Cruzat this is a tutorial, not a cover. As others have pointed out, I didn’t play through the whole thing 😉

[@jamesa9014]

Quit chatting boss and get on with it.

[@willhelliwell]

Yes boss! =D

[@abrahammizjaba1671]

Play and talk later...

[@vladimirbeliakov7027]

Very good tutorial. Thanks a lot.
