Jo Bywater Guitar Tuition
Jo Bywater Guitar Tuition
Guitar lessons - beginner & intermediate level
The channel was born from lessons with my guitar students that may be helpful for others. Whilst this in part is still true after uploading videos for the last year it has now taken on a life of it's own and these lessons are now guided by Channel Subscriber requests, conversations and feedback. A mixture of songs, techniques, rhythms, chords, guitar and music theory. My aim is to share what I’ve learned as a teacher and make guitar playing as accessible as possible.
If you have a video request please make contact with me in comments or email.
I have played a variety of guitar styles since I was inspired by Nirvana & GnR in the 90s. I 've been involved in countless bands & projects. I've been teaching guitar since 2002, full time since 2012. I work with/have worked with a vast range of learners face to face and online.
My play-through channel hosts full songs covered in the lessons - www.youtube.com/@JoBywaterGuitarSongs

How about doing " Streets of London " by Ralph McTell. Good fingerpicking song.
Excellent 👌
Should have sung the whole tune love!🙏🙏🙏
Hiya 👋 The channel focusses on guitar lessons - breaking down the structure of songs/guitar parts/techniques/dynamics in digestible video lengths. There’s more than enough information in the video to learn & play the song. If you’re interested in a full song play-though of California Dreamin’ head to my other channel here - kzread.info/dash/bejne/pnaVzI-bfKuad7g.html Thanks for checking in 🎸😊
Good job. It's such a beautiful song.
It is a great song! 😊 thanks, I appreciate that.
Thank you Jo🙏 Wonderful tutorial😊😊
You’re welcome! Thank you 😊
Excellent video. Even though there are plenty of capos around here, i rarely use them. Maybe time for more capo.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it 😊 I’m a fan of a capo sometimes. It’s a nice change to how the guitar feels to play. Something refreshing about it every now and then. Enjoy! 👍🎸
Didn't realise that you were ambidextrous.
😊
Lovely chords and singing. Foxes and Fossils cover this on KZread and coincidentally Tim Purcell plays a Taylor. I'm still longing for one ❤
Thank you 🙏 I’ll check that out! Re the Taylor, it’s a lovely guitar to play. Highly recommend 😊🎸
@@jobywaterguitartuition Is it a 214ce ?
It is. Sounds lush. Warm but with real clarity. I was blown away the first time I played it. It was my first all wooden body guitar and it was a really noticeable difference 👌
Looks pretty accurate. I have always played it E7sus to E7 instead of Esus to E. The open D string sounds better to me. And pretty important that every other chord change is on the up beat and not the down beat as Jo said. The exception is the F in measure 4 does fall on the down beat of 3.
Cheers for sharing 👍
I really appreciate your lessons
You’re welcome 👍 thank you 🙏
Awesome! Just found you on KZread and subscribed!
Hey, thanks! 🙏 🎸 enjoy the vids 😊

Hello Jo! I was looking for some tips for playing 'Stand by me' and your video came to me. I've just gone around your channel, pretty cool ! I was wondering which brand/model is your guitar. It seemed to be a Taylor, but I cpouldn't see any video in your channel talking about your instrumment. I'm willing to buy a new guitar and started looking at Taylor and Martin guitars. I'm from Brazil and unfortunatelly we don't have official ressellers of these brands, so, looking at KZread videos help me to get to know the different models of Taylor and Martin. Do you have a video in which you talk about your instrumment ? If not, could you please tell me the brand/model of it ? Thank you and keep on recording your videos. Your channel is pretty cool ! ;-)
Hey 😊👌 thanks for your message! Really happy you’re enjoying the lessons My Taylor is a 214ce. It’s a really excellent guitar. Warm sound, resonates lovely, clear individual notes. Really effortless and smooth to play. I like this guitar a lot and would recommend as a decent acoustic. I play it with 12 gauge Elixir strings. Nice combo. I don’t have a video where I talk about it but I’m happy to answer any questions you have 👍
@@jobywaterguitartuition Hi, Jo ! Thank you for answer. It was was very kind from you. I've just seen it at Amazon for about USD 1,300/1,400 . But look how terrible is for us, Brazilians: when I selected it to be delivered in my address (Brazil), it doubles the price because Amazon adds import taxes. It's insane. Anyway, I'm willing to the US by the end of the year to buy the guitar, it'll be cheaper. I don't mean to abuse of your kindness, but if you couldgive me this info, it'd help me a lot: I think this model uses steel strings and I need a NYLON one. So, I'd like to know: which would be an intermediate NYLON model from Taylor and Martin ? And which would be the best NYLON model from Taylor and Martin ? And finally, for nylon models, would you reccommend, Taylor or Martin ?
I've just seen that Taylor has a nylon version for your model.
Wow, they really drive the price up ay! Sounds like a trip to the US will help. I honestly can’t recommend something I haven’t played so not sure on nylon models to tell you about. I would imagine if Taylor does a nylon string version of my model it will be excellent 👍 happy shopping!
Nice!
Great lesson thank you 🇮🇪👍
Thank you! 👍 you’re welcome 😊🎸
Wow....your chord changes are rock solid !
😊 I do love a smooth chord change 🙏
Your a good teacher...Thank you for sharing I'll give it a blast....
Nice one 👍 cheers for that 😊
