Aww that's so awesome! 🎉 I'm sure she'll love watching you play it for her. 🥰 Thanks for learning guitar with me and congrats on your first song down! 💪🎸🎶
This was the first song taught myself by ear because I couldn’t find any good tutorials. I played the melody in single notes because I didn’t know a lot of chords, and played it on 2 strings. I think now that I know chords and can sing while playing, I will learn to play the first version here for next time!

Very cool that you were able to tab out the melody on your own! 🙌 This arrangement is more for a sing-along but I bet you'll knock it out of the park! 🎸 Thanks for watching! 💕
Thanks so much for this video! I came back to guitar this year after a 20 year hiatus, diving right into The Moffatts/Music Travel Love and Green Day! Sometimes going back to the basics is necessary as I am prepping for a children's lesson demo. I think the finger picking here will really help me build the foundation to mastering the finger picking to If Life is So Short and Good Riddance (Time of Your Life). Currently there isn't a good tutorial online for If Life, and it has been more challenging than it should be to learn it by ear.
Can you make a video teaching all the chords in guitar from start

There's no way to do that. But you can get a chord dictionary, hardcopy, online, or an app. The best way to learn music is only to learn what you need right now; otherwise you learn a other of things you will never need.
Thanks for another learning ma'am, God Bless to you and your channel.. Keep safe Always
Excellent demo and visuals!!! Learning this for my granddaughter’s third birthday!

Ellen! Thank you for the awesome video! I am using it for a birthday next fortnight. Love the siimple strumming pattern cos that was my major obstacle. One thing..... the "Am" chords seems a little off.... can I play a "D" there instead? Bless you, Ellen.... gonna learn you are my sunshine next. Hope it is not too difficult.

That was a good song to sing happy birthday to anybody and question sometimes we care about our family and friends because they are so nice you know right?
I'm way more advanced than this, but literally all the elite guitar teachers on YT, total mess. Your lesson gave me a great foundation to play this my own way. My wife's birthday is the day after tomorrow.

"new to guitar and impress" . trust me strumming, chords usage and other things are not an issue. Its this chord switching speed. thats something new-to-guitar and impress folks wont be able to do at all. without smooth chord switching its all messed up.
