Newbie here!

The tempo seems a bit rushed compared to the original song :slight_smile: And the D chord taught by Justin sounds nicer (C shape with root on D, 5th string 5th fret). What helped me was to find the tempo listening and setting a metronome, and then practicing with it.

I also think that the strumming pattern is 1a2a3a4, with a slight down strum on the thick strings on the ‘a’ and a complete downstrum on the beats. That’s how I learned it, at least!

Nice work though, especially 'cause you sing at the same time!!!

A good effort Kyrylo, it is fast paced compared to Jonny Cash but maybe that’s how you like to play it. Your channeling the spirit of the song well.

Kyrylo

Well played and well sung. As others have said, perhaps practice a little more at a slower speed to eliminate small errors. You’ve done well with a difficult song.

Well done Kyryl, I thought you performed it very well, it’s a hard thing to do play guitar and sing together, something I have yet to properly challenge myself with. Like others have said a little fast, but if you are comfortable playing at that temp then why not. I have not looked at Justin’s lesson for it so can’t really compare. Something to consider is there is nothing wrong in performing a song differently to the original and making it your own.

Huh, I have sleepy voice, so in this slow song rare one would watch till the end seems to me. I decided to cheat a bit the tempo.

You are right, I should work on my D chord. I noted to my assistant. But what do you mean by “root on D” I know only about anchoring, never heard about rooting😕

:star:thanks Willsie

I liked it! I can’t sing and play at the same time, while you stay in tune and strum!

If you look at the video of Justin (sorry for the bad screenshot!), he plays a C shape but moved 2 frets up. I like it, but every other tutorial uses the same chords as you!

Hi Brian. Thanks.

Really, but the question arises: how do they call that shape of C chord?

From my side I can suggest play with the original recording without singing, so you would listen the note the singer starts to sing, then that will help to practice alone.

Thank you for the tip! Regarding the C shape, I don’t know :slight_smile: It is a D chord ‘cause you play D (root) - F# (3rd) - G (4th) - A (5th) - E (2nd), and these notes belong all to the D maj. scale. Don’t know, I am a beginner :slight_smile:
