your thread did finaly make me restart with my beginners songbook - thanks
i bought it, started and than tried some songs of higher stages ... and than learned and practised for a while other things like classical guitar
but your thread made me finaly start again with the first song "3 little birds"
even if i started a year ago with justins course i still didnt know to play this song, i mean i did play it with downstrokes, that was easy but than i didnt play it anymore ;-)
so now i sat down and practised this song, worked on my singing WHILE playing, tried to find out a way i like to strumm it, made some recordings.... annd still have to work more on it to be happy with it ... to make a long story short, i did learn that song as well now
AND........, everytime i learn to play a song on an instrument
i listen to it a lot, to several versions, get inspired by all that different interpretations and possibilities
and i do that on youtube, by creating playlists
probabbly this list can help others too
so here is my (temporally!!!)
playlist for 3 little birdshttp://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfvMseK8igT1SPmjK2nGlC1bVz3meZ47cmaybe its usefull for you or others as well
it beginns with some bob marley versions to play a long or just listen and sing along (getting it into the head by listening a lot)
than several covers by amatuers and professionals
and last but not least some other tutorials (but who need them, we learned it already from justins video wich is on top of the playlist of course ;-) - but there are different possibilities in them, cant harm to watch them additional)
have a look and hopefully it helps you (if yes, dont forget to bookmark what you like cause its just temporally- i change my playlists a lot and often)
