Why on earth would anyone give this a thumbs down?
Anyway, Dodie: You did a fine job of demonstrating the song without standard music notation or tabs.
However, I'm sure you would benefit greatly from learning to read and write music. It's not hard. If you can learn the times tables you can learn how to deal with reading notes. It's really not that hard.
But even if you don't learn to read notes I still say that you have the gift of music. You have a good ear, great talent for songwriting, and a lovely, lovely voice.
A lot of people are asking about how to play this on ukulele. Dodie, would you be apposed to me figuring out how to play it on ukulele and showing people/ telling them in comments or a video? Thank you!
I just love how sometimes she kinda sings some random words while talking, like: 2:05all of your four fingers down 2:16one 3:10one AGAIN (there was another more subtle one but I left it out)
it's extremely cute and it makes me come back to these videos every once in a while cause it makes me smile
I got lost at "we're going to retune the guitar". It took me ages to tune mine in the first place and I'm scared to change it because I'm teaching myself guitar at the moment. I know a few chords and some basic songs at the moment :)
This is one of my favourite songs! And i amazed to see how far you have come independently/organically :) Every time I listen, i get goosebumps and tears. Thank you , so beautiful ❤
Dodie, just wanted to tell you that you are absolutely wonderful, and I'm going to sing this song for open mic one of these days... once I get good enough!! Please keep making music, they're all fantastic. <3
Thank you so very much, Dodie! Now I can make myself cry instead of you making me cry :) All jokes aside this is REALLY BEAUTIFUL WOW and I hope you have a lovely day x
This is my favorite song. Great job! Btw. I think you have perfect pitch , because I've noticed many times that you are able to sing perfectly without any music at all.
Dodie, my gurl, the sunshine in the rain, I know it's been five years but please explain how to do the strumming pattern. I have been trying to figure it out since I got my guitar (2015). Ily and you're amazing
You know what I first watched this video like a year ago and I was like PFFT NOPE LOOKS WAY TOO HARD FOR MY DUMB ABILITIES but I just came back to it and it honestly took me 15 minutes to get it right.. THANK YOU DODIEEEEE <3
+Snjólaug Vera she's kind of like playing the base note with her thumb and then just messily playing the rest of the strings with her other 4 fingers. You play the base note, which is always the e string (We'll call it B) and then the rest which we'll call R. so it's B, R, B, R, R, B, R. It's not really strumming, more like plucking but you're more running your fingertips over the strings haha. I hope that made sense. It took me forever but you'll get it.
+Snjólaug Vera idk but bring the tips of your fingers together on the middle string, and then as if your stroking a cat move each finger individually in a circular motion, but, like, plucking the strings
Wow. How special that you are showing us your song. And that you have broken it down so nicely. Amazing to see you are so beautiful and genuine. Love this song! Thank you xx
@doddleoddle Playing the same chords in standard tuning is actually a lot less moving up and down the fret board, but I love that your style of playing keeps the low strings in the chords bc it sounds so much warmer! Normally I don't tune my guitar differently unless I have to, but you've got me hooked on this tuning!
I have taken guitar lessons in the past with professional players with like 30 years of experience, and yet NOBODY made learning a song this easy. I mean damn, where was this when I was in academy in my Music class around practical assessment time?? Love this song so much and can't wait to play it all the time! 💕
I just found your channels and I am so happy I did :) I finally feel like I can watch someone youtube when I'm not feeling so happy. #blessed <33 much love
Its cool you broke down for the instrumental, fans love that. I love recording instrumentals on guitar in my channel too. Lets work together on a song!
I love this song and the chords work well with my vocal range, I wad wondering if u would allow me to perform this song in one of my school concerts but alter the lyrics to fit my thoughts on my sister x please respond! Aiden x
Depends on if you're strumming. If you are then strain away if you're finger picking like she is in this video think of it as the thumb taking care of the lower pitch 3 strings and the other three fingers take care of the higher pitch 3 strings. This is just a basic like starting point kind of like finger picking but it's something you learn to do over time. DON'T GIVE UP YOU CAN DO IT C:
@Bardock Uchiha I am most definitely not giving up :D I'll try. I think I can kind of do it if I play really really slowly but as you said practice and time and I hope I'll get better at it :D
@Sbar glastio ^^ When learning I started slow and repeated it if i even got one thing wrong. It's not easy but it's effective for getting better. ^^ Good luck!
I have Cerebral Palsy in my right hand so strumming - especially picking is torture! But I'm determined to learn this regardless of how uncomfortable it makes me, haha.
+Sbarglastio Same. My brothers will spend forever tryna learn a new chord and forget it the next day, but when it comes to the right hand, they can just play it as they feel it. I'm the opposite. I still can't bar but I never forget a chord. I just can't friggen strum or pick!
@Kate Pettersen Make sure to get the strumming down! Strumming is really hard if not done right. Do hand exercises to get your finger strength and flexibility up cx Soon you'll be able to play Bar Chords like a pro
@Tabloid Junkie Thanks! The strumming is more a matter of rhythm for me. Other than with two basic strum patterns, I have to count to get the strumming right
@Kate Pettersen I always sucked like... REALLY sucked at counting patterns and up downs so I just reply on listening to the music now. Trust me when I tell you it only gets easier though. Eventually you'll come to a point where everything falls in to place and you think "I DID IT!" The worst thing you could do is give up. (Counting will probably help you become a better guitarist so just because some people don't count doesn't mean you're bad or anything <3)
if you want to do fingerpicking kinda stuff like what Dodie is doing here id just practice going up and down with your right hand and pluck the first 3 strings with your thumb and then the bottom with your other 3, if that makes sense. do each string one at a time btw
These are not the chords in the video, but for anyone else still here, I give you a transposed version much easier for beginner ukulele players such as myself, or piano players who don't like the black keys (I based this off of the chords faye daisy commented, and transposed it while messing around with my piano) Everything is just down a half step, so if you have a Capo (I don't though) this might make this easier for you too :)
C F Am I allowed to look at her like that

I know you probably get stories like this a lot but you have seriously been such an inspiration to me. you've inspired me to share the songs I've written, and more importantly to be happy in my own skin. you've taught be to accept myself and I really can't thank you enough. I'd love to meet you one day!
@Hailey Sterling I found that plucking the first sting, then the third and just strumming the last three strings sounds similar . But she kind of makes up rhythms, so you can go along with whatever feels right. And it still sounds okay! Well, okay-ish in my case.
If people want to play it without changing the tuning I found playing a D with F sharp and G for the chorus and then Bm, D (with F sharp) and G with A, G for the last line for the chorus works okay :) Obviously it's not as pretty as it is this way but it sounds pretty similar :)
ok wow i never actually change the tuning when i write songs cuz it'll end up being a lost cause (lmao XD) and this song is just amazing i wanna learn it but nvm ill just watch ya explain it and stuff
I just played this to my mum and now i think she thinks I'm a lesbian. I just love this song too much though so i don't care. Btw i have nothing wrong with people who are gay or anything. Personally i don't have any romantic attraction to anyone of any gender.
For anybody who wants to sing this about a boy, I changed the chorus a bit (cos my crush really doesn't smell like lemongrass and sleep)
And he's like an angel from above, he's the only one I ever dreamed of, he is the star that guided me near and far etc.
I know the third line is WAY worse than dodie's original lyrics, but i wanted to keep the half-rhyme of "her" and "picture", and that was the best I could come up with
i cant wait til dodie performs live and then she will say "now, my next song, i dont know if u know this one. most of you will if you have followed me upon my youtube channel. this next one is called she."
thank you so much for this. I now need to figure out how to tune my guitar to open whatever she said. I already forgot what to tune it to. this will be difficult.
Am I allowed to look at her like that Could it be wrong when she's just so nice to look at
And she smells like lemongrass and sleep She tastes like apple juice and peach You would find her in a polaroid picture And she means everything to me
I'd never tell No I'd never say a word And oh it aches But it feels oddly good to hurt

and I'll be okay Admiring from afar Cause even when she's next to me We could not be more far apart Cause she tastes like birthday cake and storytime and fall But to her I taste of nothing at all
And she smells like lemongrass and sleep She tastes like apple juice and peach You would find her in a polaroid picture And she means everything to me
@Teresa Dridge why are you being do plain rude? What the hell? I'm a sexual and we can still have crushes and be in love but not sexually. Do your research before insulting someone. Disgusting....
Thank you thank you thank you so much for posting this. I made a cover of it and I wold love it if you saw it so pleaaaaaasssseeee watch it. I love you <3
My mum is not even gonna get it if I do so.. (I recorded a cover of it for my channel but yeah). The thing is I just don't want to come out to her and be like "hey mum I'm bisexual but it's no big deal" because she's gonna react just like my father did and think "it's just a phase". I don't really want to identify myself as bisexual, I'd rather say that I don't fall in love with a gender but that I fall in love with somebody.
@rosy Cat you didn't get me I think. I mean that when I fall in love I don't give a flump if the person's a guy or a girl ! I guess that makes me bisexual but I don't like using that word because people are like "don't worrry it's just a phase blablabla" so yeah
@Ily Owl I get you now, it doesn't really matter what people think whether its a faze or whether its permanent all that matters is that you are happy with yourself, and if you tell them and they say its just a faze then let them think that, you are the only one who knows what's really true, just be true and honest. (sorry if I rambled)
I know this is a bit late, but if you want to keep the half-rhyme of "her" and "picture" from the chorus, I change the line to "He is the star that guides me near and far". I realise it's not as good as the original lyrics, but it was the only thing I could think of
Dodie its my birthday saturday and it would honestly be the best birthday present in the world for you to wish me a happy 16th birthday i love you so much!! xxx
Also I made a birthday video that I was so proud of I put it on my channel and made it oddly the day before you're birthday (seriously no coincidence whatsoever) haha ^_^ feel free to watch it
@Griffin Wollowitz i took away a few bits that sounded wrong, and you can still play it and it sounds in key to the vocals. it'd only not work if you tried playing over the guitar.
I tuned my guitar to open D, and i noticed that Dodie's guitar is about a quarter of a semitone out of tune with my tuner, my piano,my guitar and this online tone thing I found, so theres nothing wrong with your chords, just Dodie decided to be awkward... still love the song though
what type of guitar do you use? mine has steel strings so really i need to use a pick, but then i wouldn't be able to play it all prettily with my fingers like you do here
It looks like she's plucking the e string with her thumb and then plucking every other string except the a string with all her other fingers really fast
Lots and lots of practice its kind of like adored by him strumming but just a tad bit different and I I learnt adored by him a little while ago so... 😊
God this strumming pattern is so hard. Does anyone have ALTERNATIVES, plural, that sound close or still just as good?? I've been going crazy trying to do the Travis picking/strumming or whatever that she does and I CAN'T. So now I must look for alts
As I have just gotten a guitar, I am very confused with what you are going with your fingers haha. I understand where you press them down on the frets just not really when you are strumming it haha
have no clue what you're doing with your fingers hahah cause you're not picking but not really strumming either, but you get away with it and THAT'S WHAT MAKES YOU BEAUTIFUL. no but srsly though, wotttttttt on earth are you doing with your fingers Dodieeeeee? xxxxxx
MakeshiftPicture she's playing the bottom string with her thumb and just stroking her fingertips on top of the rest of the strings kind of just "plucking" them
+Haley Joyce just download a tuning app and follow this i'm sure you can do it D (being the low e string) A D F# A D (being the high e string) (copy and pasted from someone else):P
It's called travis picking if u wanna look it up. But basically it's just the thumb kind of "pinching" down on the 6th and 4th strings and the rest of the fingers alternating for the rest
The tuning for Open D is (from Low E to High e) : D A D f# a d. The tuning for Standard Tuning is (what every guitar is usually tuned to) : E A D g b e I would use an app to make sure it's correct or buy an actual clip-on tuner. I don't think they're super expensive.
I was too. I used to cry every time I broke a string, no joke. Just go slow when you're tuning back up to Standard Tuning, especially on the e string because it can break the easiest. Even if a string does break, you can buy a new one for 2$ or so at your local music/guitar shop.
I GIVE UP, I DONT UNDERSTAND ITS SUCH A NICE SONG AND I WANT TO LEARN IT BUT I JUST DONT UNDERSTAND, I TUNED MY GUITAR 2 TIMES AND TRIED TUNING IT TO AN OPEN D OR WHATEVER LIKE 50 TIMES. I EVEN HAD TO GO ON SEPERATE VIDEOS TO LEARN HOW TO TUNE TO AN OPEN D BUT JUST DOESNT WORK, IF ANYONE KNOWS AN APP THAT TUNES TO AN OPEN D FOR FREE PLEASE PLEASE LET ME KNOW 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
+glittercheeks there are tuning apps you can find for your phone, and tune them (in order) to: D (being the low e string) A D F# A D (being the high e string) (copy and pasted from someone else):P

I've been on Guitarlessions for like 3 years but I still don't understand how to play this.
0 likesDepends on if you're strumming. If you are then strain away if you're finger picking like she is in this video think of it as the thumb taking care of the lower pitch 3 strings and the other three fingers take care of the higher pitch 3 strings. This is just a basic like starting point kind of like finger picking but it's something you learn to do over time. DON'T GIVE UP YOU CAN DO IT C:
1 like@Bardock Uchiha I am most definitely not giving up :D I'll try. I think I can kind of do it if I play really really slowly but as you said practice and time and I hope I'll get better at it :D
0 likes@Sbar glastio ^
0 likes^ When learning I started slow and repeated it if i even got one thing wrong. It's not easy but it's effective for getting better. ^^ Good luck!I have Cerebral Palsy in my right hand so strumming - especially picking is torture! But I'm determined to learn this regardless of how uncomfortable it makes me, haha.
8 likesWell Stevie Wonder can play the keytar and he's blind so with enough work you can do it too
6 likes+Sbarglastio Same. My brothers will spend forever tryna learn a new chord and forget it the next day, but when it comes to the right hand, they can just play it as they feel it. I'm the opposite. I still can't bar but I never forget a chord. I just can't friggen strum or pick!
0 likes@Kate Pettersen Make sure to get the strumming down! Strumming is really hard if not done right. Do hand exercises to get your finger strength and flexibility up cx Soon you'll be able to play Bar Chords like a pro
1 like@Tabloid Junkie Thanks! The strumming is more a matter of rhythm for me. Other than with two basic strum patterns, I have to count to get the strumming right
0 likes@Kate Pettersen I always sucked like... REALLY sucked at counting patterns and up downs so I just reply on listening to the music now. Trust me when I tell you it only gets easier though. Eventually you'll come to a point where everything falls in to place and you think "I DID IT!" The worst thing you could do is give up. (Counting will probably help you become a better guitarist so just because some people don't count doesn't mean you're bad or anything <3)
0 likesif you want to do fingerpicking kinda stuff like what Dodie is doing here id just practice going up and down with your right hand and pluck the first 3 strings with your thumb and then the bottom with your other 3, if that makes sense. do each string one at a time btw
0 likesidk the strumming pattern, i have been playing for a year now and i have no idea how to do things
0 likesYay I am so happy I can play this now! Love the song and I love you :D x

0 likesI was trying to do the instrumental bit as hard as I could but I just could not stop laughing at that face oh god
15 likesThese are not the chords in the video, but for anyone else still here, I give you a transposed version much easier for beginner ukulele players such as myself, or piano players who don't like the black keys (I based this off of the chords faye daisy commented, and transposed it while messing around with my piano) Everything is just down a half step, so if you have a Capo (I don't though) this might make this easier for you too :)

@Hailey Sterling I found that plucking the first sting, then the third and just strumming the last three strings sounds similar
9 likes. But she kind of makes up rhythms, so you can go along with whatever feels right. And it still sounds okay! Well, okay-ish in my case.
thanks :)
0 likesahh this is perfect - could you do on for Adored by him pls? or like just write the chords somewhere :)
0 likesIf people want to play it without changing the tuning I found playing a D with F sharp and G for the chorus and then Bm, D (with F sharp) and G with A, G for the last line for the chorus works okay :) Obviously it's not as pretty as it is this way but it sounds pretty similar :)

0 likes@Griffin Wollowitz i took away a few bits that sounded wrong, and you can still play it and it sounds in key to the vocals. it'd only not work if you tried playing over the guitar.
0 likesI tuned my guitar to open D, and i noticed that Dodie's guitar is about a quarter of a semitone out of tune with my tuner, my piano,my guitar and this online tone thing I found, so theres nothing wrong with your chords, just Dodie decided to be awkward... still love the song though

I have steel string and I've never had a problem finger picking. Picks are great for riffs, but you'll be fine to finger pick with steel strings :)

there's an app i use called guitar tuna for standard tuning i love it. it's free
5 likesThe tuning for Open D is (from Low E to High e) : D A D f# a d.
2 likesThe tuning for Standard Tuning is (what every guitar is usually tuned to) : E A D g b e
I would use an app to make sure it's correct or buy an actual clip-on tuner. I don't think they're super expensive.
Kalista R the fact is that i'm scared of tuning it wich sounds really dumb,but i'm scared a string can break :(
4 likesI was too. I used to cry every time I broke a string, no joke. Just go slow when you're tuning back up to Standard Tuning, especially on the e string because it can break the easiest. Even if a string does break, you can buy a new one for 2$ or so at your local music/guitar shop.
