Burns-bass Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Hi all, a good friend of mine had been suffering with a bit of depression and so to cheer him up I’ve bought him a guitar and all the kit. Normally, I’d visit and give him lessons, but obviously that’s not possible. Can anyone recommend any simple and effective YouTube channels or free resources I could recommend to him? If he can play an Oasis song or a Beatles track it would mean the world to him. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Look online for some chord charts for which you can send him the link. Then have a think about which chords are easiest for a beginner to master, then choose a song that used those chords. I used Songbird by Oasis as the first song I taught a friend years ago, followed by Bad Moon Rising by Credence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s been a hard few months for us all. One friend committed suicide and another tried. Just keeping an eye out for a mate. And I did try to get him interested in bass, but he wasn’t having any of it! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonesy Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Whenever I get the calling to the dark side I always find.... Paul David's.... https://www.youtube.com/c/PaulDavids And Marty Schwartz.... https://www.youtube.com/c/MartyMusic https://www.youtube.com/user/martyzsongs Pretty handy. I mean, I can't play for toffee, but this is more down to my own confusion about those extra 2 strings rather than anything negative about these guys 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strawbs664 Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Not YouTube but I found the following really useful when I'm looking to brush up on my 6 string skills. Easy to follow & a song to learn & play along with at the end of each lesson. I have a terrible memory for anything above the number 4 so anything that takes me back to basics is perfect. https://www.liveabout.com/guitar-lessons-for-beginners-1711865 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezbass Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 There’s a thread for this on GC, maybe some of this might be useful:- https://www.guitarchat.co.uk/topic/784-beginner’s-video-resource/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicko Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 You can get a 3 month free trial of Fender play. Might be worth a try and I'd have thought 3 months would be more than enough to play a few Oasis tracks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
