Learn how to play "Somebody I Used to Know" by Goyte! This song was featured in my "TEN Songs You ONLY Need THREE CHORDS For!!" video and was the most requested song to make a tutorial for, so I did just that!
"Stay With Me" by Sam Smith was also highly requested along with "Three Little Birds" and "Just the Way You Are" so those will be coming out shortly!
"Dreams" by Fleetwood Mac and "Truth Hurts" by Lizzo were also highly requested, but GUESS WHAT?? I ALREADY have tutorials for those songs :)

Now and then I think of when we were together Like when you said you felt so happy you could die Told myself that you were right for me But felt so lonely in your company But that was love and it's an ache I still remember You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness Like resignation to the end, always the end So when we found that we could not make sense Well, you said that we would still be friends But I'll admit that I was glad that it was over But you didn't have to cut me off Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing And I don't even need your love But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough No, you didn't have to stoop so low Have your friends collect your records and then change your number I guess that I don't need that though Now you're just somebody that I used to know Now you're just somebody that I used to know Now you're just somebody that I used to know Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over But had me believing it was always something that I'd done But I don't wanna live that way Reading into every word you say You said that you could let it go And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know But you didn't have to cut me off Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing And I don't even need your love But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough No, you didn't have to stoop so low Have your friends collect your records and then change your number I guess that I don't need that though Now you're just somebody that I used to know Somebody (I used to know) Somebody (Now you're just somebody that I used to know) Somebody (I used to know) Somebody (Now you're just somebody that I used to know) I used to know That I used to know I used to know Somebody
Hey Cory, could you show us how to play one of Joji songs? He has a nice mellow tone and slow beat pattern.
thank you so much!
This is great! The only thing I would ask is if you could put a link to sheet music of the songs you teach. Thx!

Hey Cory, wow if people really pay attention to this video there is a wealth of information in it. At first it just looks like another beginners video which to a certain extent maybe it is but, you turned what most of the other youtubers keep at two chords most drop the f. Then you throw plucking into the song and take the time to explain the pitches,you actually made a tutorial for someone that could have just started playing and you threw these other things in there that are for maybe intermediate players. I mean you cover everything from plucking ,to different strumming patterns, to changing chords a little faster, and chucking and the best thing is you explain why you're doing what you're doing. This tutorial is a lot deeper than it seems at first,and it's up to the individual players to decide which way to use it. Personally I don't exactly love this song but I know if I follow everything in this video step by step and practice it till I could I feel I Could play it blindfolded it will go a long way in my learning experience. Great job thank you very much.

cans someone tell me how i can stop my strings from muting whenever i place my fingers on the frets and slightly under or ver the frets it just makes a very muted sound
@CoryTeachesMusic
3 жыл бұрын
It’s probably because you are not squeezing or pressing hard enough. If you place your fingers on the frets to make a chord, if contact isn’t made between the string and the fretboard you will mute the strings not change the length so the pitches change and therefore a new chord is made. Press harder and see if that fixes it. If it doesn’t let me know and we’ll move from there.

You might want to consider trying a tenor ukulele! The frets are a little wider and that might help you! Also, make sure you you are keeping your thumb positioned behind the fret board and wrist pointed up (so coming down on the chords). That will make things easier!

Hi Cory, thank you very much for your tutorials, they are a huge help for beginners like me! I'm finally making some progress, but I'm still struggling with the strumming pattern of the chorus of this song. I tried so hard to figure it out by myself but I have to ask if I'm doing it correctly. Let's take the first line of the chorus. Is it something like this? DD UUD DD UUD Am G F G ...I made a mess, didn't I? Thank you and keep up the great work :)
@CoryTeachesMusic

The patterns in this song are basically the island strum (D DU UDU) and a variation where you drop that last U. The tricky part is that you are changing chords in the middle of the pattern sometimes. Practice the pattern and get really comfortable with the chords (you should not be looking at the charts when playing) and then do both together. This may take time, but if you use a slower tempo that can help when putting everything together. So what you have written out is correct, but it might end up throwing you off of playing. Instead rewrite it with the pattern being the constant and the chords are what are a variable. Like this: D DU UD D DU UD Am G F G

It’s less of a picking pattern and more of a plucking the top 3 strings at the same time.
Hmmm. Try it dm c and f
Sorry, can't understand, why do we need Am chord in the verse if we don't play that string?
@CoryTeachesMusic
3 жыл бұрын
It’s good to continue the progression incase you accidentally play the wrong note, if you are in the Am position then you will at least pluck another pitch that is still in the chord.
The G chord is a D chord on guitar.

Hi! I go through the strumming pattern from 5:57-7:20 in the instruction part of the video. The picking is for the verses and the strumming is for the chorus.
just nicked my sisters ukel issss about to go offf🤣
I swear to god its impossible for me to work an instrument. No matter what I cant strum without getting my fingers caught and even when following instructions to the letter it just sounds nothing like what im hearing

Make sure you have the chords master first. Like you can play them without looking and then do the same with the strumming. Work in small chunks of 10-15 minutes at a time no longer. Over time it will get easier!
