HEY! Ok so i have a really hard time strumming back and forth because my hands are so clumsy and they won't coordinate! It's really annoying me. Do you have any tips for how to keep a good rythym? I try so hard and it never works out :(((

ElizabethMT first off, it's not strumming. It's just really simple ginger picking. However, if you are having trouble hitting strings when you sttum, try and hit one less than you intend on hitting.


Does anyone know the strings and order to pluck them?


(I know I'm a little late on this video) <br>but, are you going to make an album or something downloadable for iTunes?

DODIE's FACE AT THE END OMG OMG WAWWWWWW


PLEASE DO A TUTORIAL FOR THE HOW DO YOU LIKE YOUR EGGS IN THE MORNING!


I don't even know how to do chords and im already watching this....😂


What a strange being you are,
God knows where I would be
If you hadn't found me, sitting all alone in the dark
A dumb screenshot of youth
Watch how a cold broken teen
Will desperately lean on a superglued human of proof

What the hell would I be, without you
Brave face talk so lightly, hide the truth

'Cause I'm sick of losing soulmates,
So where do we begin
I can finally see, you're as fucked up as me
So how do we win?
Yeah, I'm sick of losing soulmates,
Won't be alone again
I can finally see, you're as fucked up as me
So how do we win?

We will grow old as friends,
I've promised that before
So what's one more?
In our grey-haired circle,
Waiting for the end
Time and hearts will wear us thin
So which path will you take,
Cause we both know a break
Does exactly what it says on the tin

What the hell would I be, without you
Brave face talk so lightly, hide the truth

'Cause I'm sick of losing soulmates,
So where do we begin
I can finally see, you're as fucked up as me
So how do we win?
Yeah, I'm sick of losing soulmates,
Won't be alone again
I can finally see, you're as fucked up as me
So how do we win?

I won't take no for an answer (I won't take no for an answer)
I won't take no for an answer (I won't take no for an answer)
I won't take no (I won't take no)
I won't take no (I won't take no)

'Cause I'm sick of losing soulmates,
So where do we begin
I can finally see, you're as fucked up as me
So how do we win?
Yeah, I'm sick of losing soulmates,
Won't be alone again
I can finally see, you're as fucked up as me
So how do we win?


Thank god I'm not the only one who still knows bounce :')


anyone have a PDF for the note changes with lyrics?


I has a question. When I play the 9th fret for "what the hell would I be" it sounds flat and like the 10th fret is the actual note I should play. Is it supposed to sound that way? Also, my entire guitar tuning sounds flatter than yours. Don't know why. Anyway, love love love this song and you, Dodie. <3


DO A KARAOKE FOR WOULD YOU BE SO KIND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Does anybody know what kind of uke dodie uses? Im looking to getting a new uke and I'm not sure what kind to get, but I really like the sound of dodie's :-)


hey i'm about to post my ukelele cover of this and it would be cool if you checked it out dodie!


not me rewatching this after the longest time, singing along with the bounce rap and then realising "wait.. mc-dlove??"


"wish I could play guitar! " Doddle 2k15 ... LIES!

haha being able to play the guitar is basically just being able to fiddle with it until it makes cool noises. I would say you DEFINITELY qualify for that!


What are the actual chord names?! (I play piano)


holy bantha crap !! she's so ADORABLE !😍😍


i don't even play guitar but I'm playing along


it sounds so good on the electric asdfghjkljgf i cant


I Love you...

not whit prejuices
and not whit hard filings
I really love the human vean how you are


Dodie! what is that picture on your guitar?


what is the strumming pattern and number of thing!? per chord???<br>Thank You!!!

what is the strumming pattern and number of thing!? per chord???
Thank You!!!


This fricken song explains my life but we never dated she was my best friend and she didn't like me so we're trying to be friends


is this the same how it would be on an acoustic guitar?

yes, it would be exactly the same, just a different sound :)


will I ever use this information in life?
no
do I now feel the need to?
yes


correct me if i'm wrong but i think this is (personally) the simplest way of remembering how to play this
6x   5, 7, 2, 3   (1 3 1 3 3 1 3 repeated)
4x   7, 5, 9, 2, 3   (1 3 repeated)
2x   2, 3, 5, 7, 6, 1, 5   (1 3 1 3 3 1 3 repeated)
and you repeat that all 3 time


I just adore you my god <b>begins to cry</b>


The beginning throwback to when Demi Lovato and the Jonas brothers were friend (with big rob) and filmed the "bounce" video :") <b>memories</b>

Well that's awkward, I didn't even realize that you and Sammy broke up until now. I totally overlooked your tweet on that topic and feel pretty dumb now. Glad you're still so close though and that you've got such wonderful people in your life who support you and on whom you can count.


did you do this for your song ft. Thomas Sanders "Dear Happy"? If not could you? i would love to play that song myself.


if people need help with seeing the tabs and stuff look here: https://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/tab/dodie/sick-of-losing-soulmates-tabs-1785873


this song makes me want to fall in love with my bestfriend idk


BOUNCE! JUST BOUNCE! LET ME SEE THAT BODY BOUNCE!


what would the strumming pattern be for a uke?


<3 was your song about rosie the dancer linked in to this too? x


Can you do a video of your least favourite songs? :)


How does one play this on ukulele? It's killing me that i haven' figured it out yet ;-;


came to this video to see if it was actually about a romantic relationship or a friendship, since i took it as a song about a friendship lol


I ACTUALLY GOT SCARED WHEN THE OTHER DODIE CAME IN THE ROOM I WAS LIKE "WTF WAIT OH WHoOps"


Music theory on point for this tutorial ;)


When you said “I don’t know what that’s was.” It seemed me of a Matt Smith like


Hi dodie, don't want to bother but is it okay if I post a cover of your song (if I find the courage one day) ?


wait, can someone help me? what are the frets for the chorus????


DODIE. Dodie a Jonas Bros & Demi Lovato reference. You are PERFECT.


I now know I have the same electric guitar AND ukulele as you.<br>:0

I now know I have the same electric guitar AND ukulele as you.
:0


on ukulele, just translate this to the third and fourth stings (E and A) ! ! !


Is it the 6th and 5th strings you play or the 6th and 4th?


Okay I'm having a little trouble with the strumming pattern. Could you please explain it?


Could someone please tell me her picking pattern


THE BEGINNING SOMEONE ELSE REMEMBERS THAT SONG BOUNCE OMFG YESSS


so i just got a ukulele for christmas and am learning now. i was wondering if you would be kind enough to let me in on some tips? ☺☺ thanks a bunch - brynn xo


I love your shirt so much ! Where is it from ?


What's the picking pattern you're using? It's not quite straight 8th notes (or 16th notes??) and I'm having some trouble figuring it out!


I'm having such a hard time understanding the strumming and she "explained" it for 3 seconds, HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Formatting will probably eat this, but this progression sounds quite nice over the verse:

Capo 2

x - - - x - - - x - - - x
3 - - - 5 - - - 0 - - - 1
0 - - - 0 - - - 0 - - - 0
(5)- -(7)- - -(2)- - -(3)
x - - - x - - - x - - - x
3 - - - 5 - - - 0 - - - 1


I have a cover of this up on my Chanel! Haha I didn't have the guts to swear in it though :P xo


Could someone give me the plucking pattern?


I don't know much about guitars so can I play this the same but just on an acoustic guitar instead?


oh my goodnes you've changed so much and so little all at once


I clicked on this bc Dodie with an electric guitar is cute af


Can you just take a picture of how is your acoustic guitar tuned for playing this song, ughh i suck at tuning


THE PIC FOR THE KARAOKE PART I SPILLED MY DRINK


Hey can you convert this to uke chords maybe


Hey what guitar is that you're using? xx


Please sell your music so I can buy it!! TAKE ME MONEY!!


Leo Jade in the comments says it's 133 13 13 13


I can't decide whether I prefer the pictures at the karaoke part better here or the One For The Road tutorial...


what is the strumming pattern or whatever bc i can't figure out when to hit the e string and the d string


Can some one please explain the plucking patterns cause it's messing with my head a bit😂 I get the base of it but I'm a lil bit confused xxx

@Caitlin Laing It's no problem, it took me a bit to figure it out so why not make it easier for others

+Dasia Zientek (AmazingDasiasaur) thank you so much :) xx


that ancient jonas ref made me so so happy


this might not help but
you play the
5,7,2,3 part six times
7,5,9,2,3 x4
2,3,5,7,6,1,5 x2
repeat that another time then
5,7,2,3 x6
2,3,5,7,6,1,5 twice and hold the five
this might be wrong, its my first time playing guitar but I hope it gets you close enough to at least know where I messed up!


Strats with polaroids are my new aesthetic


I am a wee bit slow and can't figure out the right hand, can someone fill me in on the pattern? Thank you!


can some one please explain the little picking pattern, is it bottom string other bottom other other bottom other bottom other other bottom


HOW DO YOU COME UP WITH THESE NON CHORD THINGYS?!?!? I'm dead


The guitar part sounds like headphones by Jars Of Clay o.O


I'm thinking about sending this song to my ex boyfriend because we were together for 4 years and I just miss him as a friend and all I want is to heal broken heart with friendship or sth. The problem is he doesn't ;-;

deidara1888 in my experience you're better off not doing that. Just get over your heartbreak first and contact him afterwards.


wait what finger is on what string throughout the song (chord) ?


I fangirled so hard at the first bit
DEMI FTW
- @howltermeup


So I have absolutely no idea how to play, or how guitar works, but I thought when you press down the string in the "dot area", it would mute the sound? How does that work, sometime educate me ;-;


Can you please remake the tutorial to show how you pluck for this song????? I have watched the turotial many times and I have listened to the song again and again and somehow I still can't play it right. I'm copying your fingers and everything but it still doesn't sound the same. This is the first song I have ever tried playing on the guitar and not being able to get it really makes me never want to pick it up again.


Is it just me who replayed the beginning over and over again because what


@Crystalina7274 lol forgot to do the thing


its been two years since this video, i only realised this now aha


I find it slightly worrying that all the frozen images in the instrumental struck me as perfectly normal.


I can never sing and play at the same time ! Any tips to help because my strumming goes wayyyy off ☺

Sorry I can't help, I have the same problem


right ok gna try to learn how to play this on piano it's so lovely but i can't play guitar


Omg turn subtitles/captions on and skip to the instrumental at the end and read it it's hilarious!!!!!


Is it weird that I'm okay with the positioning on the frets but I find it hard to pluck the 2 damn strings?


yo- how the heck do you do the strumming for the chorus? sorry i don’t understand:,( hElp is appreciated !! thanks if you do help:)


holy shit what I suddenly feel so good about myself do yall even like uh finger im shock


is anyone else having an issue where their guitar is in tune but this song still doesn't sound right? i can't get the right notes? help!?!?!


Please do a festive day in the life vlog this year !
Your so funny and adorable,

ngl I kept going back to the start to watch the intro. it made me cry


<b>nods head</b> yeah okay I got it. Lol love that dodie pretends that she can keep her fans from gossiping.

im now just reading in the comments things about people and i feel stupidly clueless and now im informed and im just gonna.... *hugs dodie*


How is the guitar tuned.... Open D? Regular scale (I just want to make sure so that the notes sound good and not completely fucked up😂❤)

+jb bellinato This might be a tad late, but it's tuned in regular scale!


Hai! I’m cole. Me and my mother just gout out of an abusive situation with my father. He abused me for over 13 years and he abused my mother for even longer. When me and my mother left the plan was to go to my original school but move to my grandmas. However only a week after me and my mom left, my dad committed suicide. And I had decided to go by “ Cole “ instead of Hannah. I thought and hoped my friends would still be there for me but In a span of 4 months ALL of my friends had left me. And to make it all worse- my 2 soulmates left me. So I guess they weren’t my soulmates...?

Now- 8 months later. All I have left are online friends who are all over the world. But yea- here I am. Alive and working through life one day at a time.
Thanks for reading- if anyone did 😂

             ~ Cole


My fingers can't strum that fast ahhh ok they can BUT not for that long geez they need a break....😂💕


Can you cover house of gold by twenty one pilots okay thx cool 💕


Um undisputedly THE BEST intro ever or what??


wow. sols is about Sammy! They went out and then broke up. and they're still friends. also he was in a manipulative relationship


I realize this was like 3 years ago but did she just BEGIN THE VIDEO WITH BOUNCE BY THE JONAS BROTHERS???? 😂😂😂 #classic


you're really gorgeous and adorable and funny and amazing and i want to be you when i grow up okay bye


Chloe McNicol yes because in the official video on her channel she plays it on acoustic


I'M ATTEMPTING TO LEARN THIS BUT FAILING


İt was exactly What  I thought it was.Nice


You should put some tabs on ultimate guitar because all of the ones on there sound wrong.


i know no once cares but i actually understood the song :)


skdskdks im trying to learn this on my uke so the electric guitar is making me s a l t y


I had to watch this 7 times to find out what she spelled out in the beginning ;-;


Dodes (I am calling that for some reason because it sounds alright) where are you in the short extra explanation and the picture during the karaoke with all the pink squares in the background?


wait what finger is on what string throughout the song (chord) ?

You can use any finger but I use my middle finger and it's on the string at the very top.. Or bottom, I don't know, it's the deeper E string that you move your finger on


I can't stop playing the beginning over. Help


Pfft I'm not crying, my eyes are sweating, hay fever, you're crying shhh


Am I the only one who is having a hard time with the plucking bit? Lol


WHAT DOES SHE MEAN BY BOTTOM, WHICH STRINGS

The lowest one closest to your face. It's called the bottom one.💕 The other string you play is the 4th one, since the bottom one is the 6th string. So you just alternate between the 6th and 4th string quickly for the strumming. Also, it's 133-13-13-13 repeated <3


I'm a bit confused pm what pattern you pluck the strings...

me too, and it seems quite a few others are, as well. i saw one comment suggest 1-3-1-3-3 but i'm not quite sure.


FOR ANYBODY STRUGGLING WITH THE STRUMMING PATTERN
IM LIKE 95% SURE IT'S 133 13 13 13 repeat
IDK THO BUT THERE YA GO

i try to teach myself how to play the guitar....could you tell me what a strumming pattern is?


anyone know how the plucking goes i cant understand it


Would there be any way to play it on the piano?

+Lexi Rises you're welcome!! I totally forgot fret 6 (it's A# incase you hadn't already figured it out!) Also with fret 1/6 Bb major augmented (Bb D F#) sounds alright... But I still am not sure if that's a good one to use or not. If you play the notes in contrary motion it sounds pretty darn good (ie: rh does D-A-D-A etc while lh goes A-D-A-D) :) You can certainly add in like a turn/trill thing to mimic the slide but I don't think it's very necessary :D

+AlarteAscendare7 Thank you so much! This helped heaps xx

Totally! It's in the key of D major and as for the notes: 1st fret = F (not F#, that's why it's dissonant), 2 = F#, 3 = G, 5 = A (the dominant note that's why it sounds so perfect!!), 7 = B, and lastly 9 = C#! The open third string is just a simple D. If you want a more full sound you can play some chords in the bass (I recommend D+, G+ second inversion, etc!!) Happy Playing :D


Hi Dodie, I think is really nice of you to ask to not speculate in the comments. Most of us probably know, and if not, do some homework ;)


Those text message updates are freaking me out because I have the same sound and it makes me think I got an important message.


Anyone else changed the playback speed so they can see that pattern she did with her fingers?


Remember when dodie used to upload tutorials :/


I'm so bad at guitar that I can't even play this


i'm left handed and i play a right handed guitar but it just takes some time getting used to

...left handed people can still play guitar lmao. they make guitars specifically for left handed people, theyre just harder to find. or you can literally just restring a regular guitar and play it.

Blahkabelison i would but im left handed


how does she pluck? because it looks like she plucks the 6th, 4th, 6th, 4th, 4th. can someone explain what the plucking pattern is?

Actually I might be wrong, it might be 6th 4th 6th 4th 4th?


do you pluck the first and 3rd string back and fourth???

Webster Boy no it basically goes 1,3,1,3,3,1,3,1,33,1.....


Im learning to play acoustic guitar any tips?


i was thinking of pas de deux during the entire explanation


the only problem i have seem to run into is the d string overpowers the lower notes and i haven't got a clue how to fix it

lol just kidding i realized my nail on my middle finger is longer than my thumb


Will you be my guitarist in our band? :3


what is the guitar tuned to because it doesnt sound right on standard tuning


kinda sad that I don't know who it is in my head


i can't get the timing write do you play the two strings twice then the seceond one again then repeat??


When you got a message I got a message.Lol!


Ok I got the chords but I can't get the strumming part right. The chords are easy but I can't play the song cause I keep messing it up...


+doddlevloggle If you don't already, I think you should listen to Gabrielle Aplin sometime :)


you look so cute in this hun (as always tho so)


everytime I heard the messenger sound I thought it was my phone. Then I realized I don't have friends


Dodie has a fender stratocaster my life is good


omg you sang bounce by the jonas brothers what even


I don't know what I was expecting the photo to be during the karaoke bit but it wasn't that


I didn't think anyone else knew that song...


who else plays an acoustic/electric guitar


i feel like a living flop compared to dodie honestLy


I have trouble with the picking pattern ;-;


I thought she said she came out at first lol. Explains the music video.


Does anyone know what the finger thing is, like is it thumb finger only or thumb finger finger etc (that doesn't make much sense soory)


So this is late but dodie and I have the same guitar strap..


Watch box of wasps by dodie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


What is the other song you said to check out? I can't find it >.< help!


Sammy said on Twitter it was about him. I don't know why I needed to say this, but yeah.

Nunya Business Well, to be fair, more people probably saw Sammy's tweet than a comment on a video that's over a year old. Although now I feel like a bit of a dick.

IvanIsn'tHere I thought Sammy was gay (naughty naughty not following the suggestions, remind me to never leave you in a room with a button marked "do not press")


"7th 5th 9th 2nd 3rd....huueeehuuu...." I died XD


This video has rn 666k views.....dodie what you up to


The start......did it have something to do with demi??


Is Pas De Deux about this person? The friend part kinda made me think of it

+Sicily Hamata Nah, Pas De Deux is about her abusive, manipulative ex, and her awesome friend Sammy who comes in and helps her.

Sorry I read into things a lot and your lyrics are the best so I'm reading into them......yea ^-^


I can't do this someone put it on ultimate guitar


The good person is Sammy Paul for those who don't know


Dodie, can you tell me your way of plucking because I can't see it very well


Honestly I have a kind of "manipulative". She took me away from my friends. Yea.


I HAD TO STOP THE VIDEO RIGHT AT THE BEGINNING BECAUSE I WAS FREAKING OUT WITH YOU SINGING BOUNCE


the clone at the beginning freaked me the FUCK out


i don't even own a guitar

what the heck am i even doing here


I can find a good version on the ukulele :(


I THOUGHT I WAS RHE ONLY ONE WHO KNEW BOUNCE WTFF


Does her plucking change? I keep doing thumb,index,thumb,index, thumb, index,index but it doesn't sound right!!! Help pls

Supernovagirl honestly its all about finding a rhythm. try to relax and if it helps tap your foot to the beat of the song. relax your thumb and index. or if using your index doesn't come naturally enough, try using your middle finger instead. just listen to what you're playing and let the rhythm move you, don't force a rhythm. Hope this helps :-)


Dodie where did you get your guitar because I think they sold you a fake fender


Guilty of commenting before finish of video, but: BOUNCE REFERENCE YUS lol


I know I am quite late on this video, but am I the only one that simply cannot figure out what the actual picking pattern is. Normally I can do things by ear but this is just screwing me up.


Wait... so is the person that this song is about a guy or a girl? Dodie says "the guy" in the video but in the music video on her VEVO the couple are girls. I'm a little confused...


I figured out how to play it on ukulele maybe?  It still needs transposing and I'm quite bad at uke but hey, eh.


I know she said not to do this but I genuinely don't know who it is about and would love it if someone could tell me.

ikr 😔 and i want to respect her wishes<br>ps: but i'm doubting between jon or sammy

ikr 😔 and i want to respect her wishes
ps: but i'm doubting between jon or sammy


I have absolutely no clue what patten she finger plucks, can anyone help me please?! xx


Stop stealing all the beauty from the rest of us beings. Thanks. I still love you though, so it's okay.


Who was her bf did she ever share him online?? :)


for the plucking its 1-3-1-3-3 or am i just a special child that missed it :?

Dana Hoffele I think it may be 133 13 13 13 repeated but idk

that seems right, but i can't tell you for sure as i'm having trouble with it, as well 😅


Fucked up as FIRST FRET lol that made me giggle


hands up if you're as fucked up as first fret


You should do a video on Sam Pepper's new video "Killing my best friend prank"...fucked up stuff. The video was so bad there's a petition to remove him from Youtube, support the cause...25,000 already.


+Dasia Zientek (AmazingDasiasaur), but when did they break up?


4:39
does anyone living in the uk know the "first4lawyers" ad?
BC THAT'S WHAT I HEARD LMAO I'M PISDING MYSEKF


i reaally thought it was Hedy in the thumbnail


Oops...you should write a song about Evan of that's not weird

I've written songs about most of my friends...that's not weird right?


I HAVE YOUR SHIRT! from h&m ehh? (okay sorry i'll stop)


Oh so Tom Law abused you now as well? Beginning to see a pattern here


she doesn't really explain the picking pattern but listening to the original song helps a ton,, i've played for like 7 years so it's easy to pick up patterns now by listening but i believe she goes e(string) d e d d e d  for one of the patterns and then for other parts just switches back and forth between e and d with no repeats of strings

Annie S just alternately pick the two strings starting with the 6th and put emphasis on the first note of every chord change

I THINK its 1 down strum with ur thumb, then one up strum with your pointer, then down, then up, THEN strum up again (pause for a millisecond), then do it all again.


5, 7, 2, 3
7, 5, 9, 2, 3
2 to 3rd 5th to 2nd
6th 1st to 5th

Ignore this 😕


+Erreur “Wndrr” Dafool Yeah I know, but my mistake ended up with a compliment so I thought I would leave it :)

+Bayli Simpson just so you know, you can edit or delete messages !

I'm sorry but who's sammy? I'm so curious i'm sorry x3

Whoops posted that before Dodie asked not too, silly me 😝 but it is a very pretty song :)


plucking is 1 3 1 3 3 if you couldn't get it. i had to slow it down lol


you look like just a little Morello in orange is the new black


uhh this is awkward to say but you have a cute nose ^-^


Hewow im a new subscriber so who is evan? Is he your bestfriend or?


the kerning from the thumbnail is so damn bad


her naym is dohdee

This song is about the Jonas Brothers breakup. 😿


@Sarah Holness oh yeah. I saw their recent video. So who is the mean one then??

Isabella Harris but which ex boyfriend? the mean one or the nice one?

+Sarah Holness everyone keeps saying it was Sammy? who's Sammy?

oH ha loL oops wow misinterpretation wow ow woW I totally thought something else wow aha ha ha


What's the song about her abusive relationship ?

Thanks to everyone who commented and keeps commenting but I found out shortly after I wrote the comment xx

Blahkabelison that one's about an abusive relationship but I don't think it's about hers
