      @sonaligandhi13 Před 3 lety +21

      :) firstly get you hand on strumming. If you can play it without speaking strumming pattern in your mind then you can def move on to singing :) it works for me

    Hi, Ellen! I'm just new to learning guitar and I'm glad I found your videos on youtube. I tried watching other people's video tutorial but I could not seem to get it, but when I watched yours everything seemed easy and I like the way you teach; it is very understandable and polite and friendly. Thanks for teaching me play one of my favorite songs "august". I hope you would do cover for " right where you left me" also by Taylor Swift so that I could learn to play it. Thank you so much! God bless you!

    hi everyone! to those having a hard time with the strumming pattern, i think DD UUU DUDU works pretty well with the song too. try playing with the strumming until you find one that seems to fit and feels natural for you to play.

    Salt air, and the rust on your door
    I never needed anything more
    Whispers of "Are you sure?"
    "Never have I ever before"
    But I can see us lost in the memory
    August slipped away into a moment in time
    'Cause it was never mine
    And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
    August sipped away like a bottle of wine
    'Cause you were never mine
    Your back beneath the sun
    Wishin' I could write my name on it
    Will you call when you're back at school?
    I remember thinkin' I had you
    But I can see us lost in the memory
    August slipped away into a moment in time
    'Cause it was never mine
    And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
    August sipped away like a bottle of wine
    'Cause you were never mine
    Back when we were still changin' for the better
    Wanting was enough
    For me, it was enough
    To live for the hope of it all
    Cancel plans just in case you'd call
    And say, "Meet me behind the mall"
    So much for summer love and saying "us"
    'Cause you weren't mine to lose
    You weren't mine to lose, no
    But I can see us lost in the memory
    August slipped away into a moment in time
    'Cause it was never mine
    And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
    August sipped away like a bottle of wine
    'Cause you were never mine
    'Cause you were never mine, never mine
    But do you remember?
    Remember when I pulled up and said, "Get in the car"
    And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call?
    Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all, for the hope of it all
    "Meet me behind the mall"
    Remember when I pulled up and said, "Get in the car"
    And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call?
    Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all (For the hope of it all)
    For the hope of it all
    For the hope of it all
    (For the hope of it all)
    (For the hope of it all)

    This is a great tutorial! Question: I can play with you at the end if I’m just playing the chords, but I can’t keep up with you when I start strumming because I can’t get my fingers to the next chord in time/ don’t know when to switch. Any helpful tips? 🙏 Thank you! 🥰
