ive been trying to figure out the strumming pattern for 84 years now

Lmao none of these comments were helpful, I’m dying.

it’s been 90 years have you figured it out yet

Ok so now I think I got it. The pattern goes:
⬇ , , ⬆⬇⬆⬇ , , ⬆⬇⬆⬇ , ⬇⬆.

Down = thumb,
Up = fingers,
, = Pause/don't do anything

And then in the chorus it goes like:
⬇⬆⬇⬆ , ⬆⬇⬆⬇⬆⬇⬆⬇⬆⬇⬆

easier pattern here!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKnRECm3yUE&list=LLUI_A7CVK85TnB08Qhuy81w&index=2

its been 89 years now have u figured it out

When someone figures it out would you please let me know!!

For everyone wondering what the strumming pattern is, it's roughly:
First string
Strum
First string
Strum
Strum
First string
Strum

Really fast
Alternating unevenly between strumming and plucking the first string. It's hard to explain in words without being able to write rhythms

Oh my gosh thank you so much I've literally been sitting with this guitar for like an hour trying to figure this out

my genuine reaction when i saw my person: "HhHh!! YOU GENUS PERSON!! THAANK YOU!!<br>My brother from the other room:".....Who are you talking to?"

My brother from the other room:".....Who are you talking to?"


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.

So keep making music!


I was planning planning on just learning the chords, but I ended up not learning anything. At all. I simply stared and smile.

God, you're adorable.


For everyone who doesn't want to put their guitar in Open D the chords for standard tuning are: [No Capo]

Verse:

D, G

Chorus:
Bm, A,G

(The last line is "(Bm) You would find (A)her, in a (D) Polaroid (G) Picture, (Bm) and she  (A) means everything to (G) me")

Bridge:

Bm, A, G

Thank you so much for this! I know this comment is like 3 years old but would you know how to do the strumming pattern for this with these cords?


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!

@Rosalinde Mari whoops you wrote that 5 years ago

Sorry, I just noticed that someone already did this. If you type "She Doddleoddle ukulele" into the search bar you should be able to find it.


I just love how sometimes she kinda sings some random words while talking, like:
2:05 all of your four fingers down
2:16 one
3:10 one 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

Thank you so much Dodie for making this!! I'm currently teaching myself to play guitar and I am in love with this song and want to learn it❤❤


I got lost at "we're going to retune the guitar".  <br>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 :)

@rxchelsteph Me too, I was completely baffled and started to cry internally as I had just managed to tune it ;-;


I had given my guitar away 8 years ago and I regret doing that because of this video.
Definitely buying a new one now.

Thanks so much for creating this and bringing back my feels haha. Bless.


You should really do more tutorials of your songs Dodie! <3


This is one of my favourite songs! And i amazed to see how far you have come independently/organically :)<br>Every time I listen, i get goosebumps and tears. Thank you , so beautiful ❤

She now has made two albums. Your dreams came true

She is going to actually! She said that on a livestream :)


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


Such a beautiful song <3<br>The picture on the instrumental version is making me DIE with laughter, oh my god, Dodie :')

Such a beautiful song <3
The picture on the instrumental version is making me DIE with laughter, oh my god, Dodie :')


I love watching this after she’s released it officially I- it’s amazing


0:59 for tuning of deepest string.
1:06 for the next fancy tuning string.
Then 1:12
And finally 1:18.
You’re welcome.


'She' is one of my favourite songs of yours :) also you look so great in glasses <3


Thank you so very much, Dodie! Now I can make myself cry instead of you making me cry :)<br>All jokes aside this is REALLY BEAUTIFUL WOW and I hope you have a lovely day x

Love the song soooo much! And your guitar is so beautiful!!! xxx


You're such an amazing role model dodie - love you lots and thanks for your smiles


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.


i used the instrumental to sing over at my school's open mic night and it was lit thank u dodes


will you please put "She" on itunes!!!!!!!

3 years later and "she" is finally going to be on iTunes and Spotify!! 😭🙏🏻🙌🏻


I always look  forward to your videos. Your voice is so calm and beautiful. I'm a big fan.


this video is so cute , it's so sweet that you took the time to make this even if you don't know a lot about guitar. love the song!


Omg I couldn't see half of the video because I was crying. Your voice is so amazing


This song just completely describes my first actual crush on another girl...I love it :D


"What the fuck are the words?" I love you, Dodie 😂


I'm listening the the instrumental part at the end over and over because it's just so beautiful. I can't even play it properly


I wish she'd play it on ukulele, or do a remake but with a ukulele instead of a guitar.

mystic messenger is taking over in internet


Yay!!! so so so beautiful and my new FAV song probably FOREVER!! Great job Dodie hope your feelin happy!!! :)


Omg I love the tuning on the guitar. It sounds so pretty.


if it wasnt nearly 11 pm i'd totally start learning this now. thank you dodie!


I wish I could sing and I wish I was musical and Dodie you are amazing! :D


Doddie, you are amazing <3
Can you make How to play "Paint", please?
I love your songs just so much!


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

That's all


this was actually perfect... thank you for just showing the chords and not tying to make it more complicated than it is


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


I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW SHE DOES THAT STRUMMING THING

oh so then its kind of just like the strumming pattern for sick of losing soulmates, okay then! thanks!!

I DONT THINK YOU REALISE HOW YOU HELPED ME THANK YOU SO MUCH

This makes sense on paper (thanks for the explanation) but when I actually go to do my fingers won't cooperate lol

you just stroke from the highest string to the lowest

+bookishbabble which order of stings do you do it in

+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

The technique is called Travis picking in case anyone wants to look up videos about it

@Melody Wang no problem! I was really confused at first too aha

+VikkitheTwat THANKS A TON OMG. I NEVER FIGURED HOW SHE DID IT TIL I SEE THIS. THANKS A TON

+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.

I CAN'T DO IT I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT SHE'S DOING


i broke my guitar trying to tune it to play this lmao

I was like cool I've turned it now I'll play along with her hers sounds perfect I start doing the same finger pattern boinkeeerrr

I was like cool I've turned it now I'll play along with her *hers sounds perfect* I start doing the same finger pattern *boinkeeerrr*

ghost illusion same, it took a week for the new strings to come in.

You might have tuned up instead of tuning down, very likely if your string/s snapped.


This is the tuning I have in my guitar all the time now 😂😂 thanks Dodie!


Ive been wanting to learn guitar for a while now and this makes me want to learn even more omg


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 don't have a guitar, and not much music knowledge, I just like to hear you talk

Maria Jowitt yeah but I think we all like her talking really. It's so calming.

I have a gautair I'm just learning ukulele first

Mary's Mind  bit creepy that you like to hear her talk XD


what strumming/plucking pattern do you use? I can't quite work it out. beautiful song by the way, makes me cry:)


Oh my god I love this song!! I've had it stuck in my head all week. Can I please please please cover it on my channel in a couple of weeks? Xxxxx


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 think it is kind of like this:
Down
Up
Down
Up

Up
Down
Up
But down is just the 6th string and up is the 3rd, 4th and 5th strings. It's kind of a strumming plucking hybrid.


Can we actually use the instrumental for covers? Because I absolutely love this song, and it would be amazing to try doing a cover of it.


i can play it now! i'm so happy that i actually learned it :) thanks dodie from the past


Could I please sing this for my BGT audition? It would mean the world!


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


I'm singing this to my best friend when I see them this summer ♥ They love guitar and I'm trying to learn, and this song is so easy to play!


Aaah I love 'she' soo much I'm so happy for this thank you so much! :D


I was very tired watching this video and Dodie's voice was making me fall asleep XD I love this song so muchhh


How in gods name did she so easily retune her guitar honestly it's been two hours and I'm on the brink of TEARS


I really wished that there was sheet music for this but I’m perfectly fine with listening to it


when i can't sleep i just come back to this video and skip to the end because it's just so nice to listen to dodie play


Dodie I love this soooo much :) do you know how to play this on ukulele? I really really wanna play it on ukulele pleaseeee


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!<br>Aiden x

I'm learning how to play guitar and ukulele by myself and honestly the hardest part to me is the right hand.
How how how howwwwwww
frustration

I'm learning how to play guitar and ukulele by myself and honestly the hardest part to me is the right hand.
How how how howwwwwww
*frustration*

idk the strumming pattern, i have been playing for a year now and i have no idea how to do things

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

@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)

@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 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

+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!

Well Stevie Wonder can play the keytar and he's blind so with enough work you can do it too

I have Cerebral Palsy in my right hand so strumming - especially picking is <i>torture</i>! But I'm determined to learn this regardless of how uncomfortable it makes me, haha.

@Sbar glastio ^<del>^ 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. ^</del>^ Good luck!

@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!

@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

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:

I've been on Guitarlessions for like 3 years but I still don't understand how to play this.


Yay I am so happy I can play this now! Love the song and I love you :D x


Thanks for this vid! Learned it in 20mins xx


I was trying to do the instrumental bit as hard as I could but I just could not stop laughing at that face oh god


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

C                               F
Could it be wrong when she's just so nice to look at

Am                       G                  F
And she smells like lemongrass and sleep

Am                       G                  F
She tastes like apple juice and peach

Am                       G                  F         C
You would find her in a Polaroid picture

G                       F
And she means everything to me

C
I'd never tell

F
No I'd never say a word

C
And oh it aches

F
But it feels oddly good to hurt

Am                       G                  F

G                       F
And she means everything to me

Am              G
and I'll be okay

F                  C
Admiring from afar

Am                          G
Cause even when she's next to me

C                                   F
We could not be more far apart

Am                              G                      F                 C
Cause she tastes like birthday cake and story-time and fall

        G
But to her

                       F
I taste of nothing at all

Am                       G                  F
And she smells like lemongrass and sleep

i am so happy i can now play this song. this song is me. and it's really lovely and perfect. i like it.


That picture in the end is Very lovely to look at 😂 love your videos! Big fan! ❤


these chords work so beautifully for hometown glory by adele too!


This is such a cute song to play i love it


Can you do this with "Adored By Him"? it would be perfect ><


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!


Your so creative to come up with this! I would never be able to pull that off XD


this is so relaxing and cute love you dodie


Are there any videos out there on how to strum like that? I'm practicing but I don't think I'm doing it right

@Hailey Sterling I found that plucking the first sting, then the third and just strumming the last three strings sounds similar<br>. 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.

ahh this is perfect - could you do on for Adored by him pls? or like just write the chords somewhere :)


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 :)


@doddlevloggle that's my songtitle haha.

She's made of rainbow cupcakes and sunshine

Bayu Fauzi Dodie yellow, pureness, music, magic, beauty and the chuckle brothers

BeautifulDollsaster make that, dodie yellow

Bayu Fauzi sparkling golden dust from the gods above

omg dodie im having a crisis and idk ugh. halp. no. It's fine. Ilysfm thank yoU FOR EXISTING much love to you. Seriously I adore you so much.


For the music theory kids out there, the chords are :
D/G69 for the verse

(Bm7/A7/ G69)x2
Bm7/D on f#/G69 for the bridge

A7/ G69

All this is repeated,  figure the order out yourself :P


Ive never enjoyed a tutorial video this much before !


The best part of Dodie's how to play videos are the pictures of her in the karaoke section.


how do you strum it (with the two fingers, throughout the whole song?) ive never played guitar but i got one recently and rly rly want to play this


you seem brilliant to me! perfect explanation for someone like me.. :D


Thanks for the "How to"! Also, these glasses are just perfect, you look delightfully nerdy ^^


This is actually the first song i ever listened to from you (the original one)


Is it bad that I'm actually crying over how cute this song is. Dodie the feels omg you are too much no x


Can you give us the chords for Daisy, Daisy?? :)


I have an electric guitar but it still worked so well thank youu. ^_^


i wanna play it on uke so does anyone know the chords?


Could you do one of these for Christmas time possibly? Ily <3


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'm learning this song for my crush(who is a girl). I love her so much


can I please use the instrumental for my talent show,PLEASEEEEE?????? I love you too much x


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.


Please do a tutorial about how to make the strumming you do for this song! I can't do it. I will be so grateful.


Do you have any tips for playing the ukulele? I just notice you have some nice strumming techniques :)


Genuinely came here to learn the song...…stayed because you're just so damn ADORABLE!


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


So. Freaking. Cute. <3 I know the song I'll use for "promprosal". Even though it's like.... 4 years away or something..


AW THE THUMBNAIL IS SO ADORABLE AND YOU ARE SO ADORABLE AND JUST AHHH I LOVE YOU DODIE


honestly i already know this song guitar i just always find my way back to this video bc i think dODIE IS SO FUCKING CUTE IN IT


lovely song :) but how do you know what chords you can play in open d and so on? :o :) did someone tell you or did you look it up somewhere? :)


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.


Brilliant! Love it. And you are such a dear!


OHMIGOODNESS THIS IS AWESOME OH HOW I LOVE THIS SONG THANK YOU SO MUCH GAH I LOVE YOU <3


Dodie omg i love you and this song tysm for doing this

does anyone know what strings she's plucking? and in what order?


pleASE do one of these for 'adored by him' ily

There is a video out there of how to play it on uku I learnt it 😍


does dodie have perfect pitch .......... honestly you are so perfect wtf


Pls don't ever delete this it's perfect, plus I can't find the one you did for adored by him. So yeah. You're really awesome.


I need her to update this with her new found knowledge on playing the guitar cause Im so lost but I love this so much I dont know


Did you get a new mic or something? I feel like the audio is really good! (Or maybe it's my new earphones...)


that moment when she strummed her now tuned guitar and with that face she went like "it's a chord! and you don't even have to press anything!" 😂😂😂


I laughed at your sneezing face, lol xD (in the best way possible)

thanks so much for doing a tutorial!! ;D

I laughed at your sneezing face, lol xD (in the best way possible)

*thanks so much for doing a tutorial!! ;D*


How do I do the strumming pattern thingy you do, Dodie? Teach me your ways!


Dodie could you be more gorgeous?

That "She" is actually You!


You are awesome and inspired me to be me!!!xx love yah x


Could you provide a download link? Thank you x


the first proper song i learnt on the guitar and the first song i've heard from u!. <3 you..


I’m really curious how your writing process was on this song


Hello, im a big fan of you , i like what you are doing :)
hmm , if i may demande , can you give me Chords that you switched To ?
thank you


I'm singing this to my "friend" for our friend anniversary this year


I PRACTICALLY DIED WHEN I SAW THIS IN MY SUBSCRIPTION BOX THANK YOU DODIE! <3 :) xxx


@Victoria Lewis I'm pretty sure that wasn't meant to be an insult, just someone who's not informed on the specifics of asexual vs aromantic

@Teresa Dridge as an ace who has a massive dodie crush uhhh yeh

Teresa Dridge I’m straight, I like her music though.

lmao dude you're a little late to the party. i think she understands after a year.

@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....

+Teresa Dridge asexual can still like her

oh boy the two in one morning aids combo

technically Aces can like Dodie its Aromantics that wont have a crush


Is there any way to go about playing this without changing the tuning? (last time i tried to change the tuning of my guitar, i broke a string xD)


I'm having problems with the timing in the karaoke version... How do I know when to sing? How long are the pauses? Help!

+Ellika Kasto just practice along with the original until you get the timing right and then try on the karaoke version


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


does anyone know what the chords are? I want to play on ukulele instead...


I just came here to listen to the instrumental, but I might learn this now!


YES!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks so much for uploading this. ^_^


it was a small, but powerful, touch, in my feelings.


Y de pronto aparece un comentario en español diciendo lo asombrosa que es esta mujer. c:


I’m a noob but can this be played on classical guitar ? I believe the one she owns is acoustic


I'm learning how to play my guitar so I shall try this out :D

Aww thankyou for downloading it! And say whaattt I wish!!

i did aha i found it on sound cloud and downloaded it you sound like Dodie a bit


OMFG just realised I have the exact same guitar as dodie 😱


What are your fingers doing? Strumming? Picking? I can't tell hehe:') I love this sooooo much!!


Shall I sing that to my parents to come out ? lol

Soz that was weird

I'm here 5 years later to ask if you did it... it's okay if you didnt, though, coming out is hard-

@Ily Owl isn't there still time to do it? or did you already come out?

That's an amazing idea, you should do that x

@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)

@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

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.


I just love how she makes this more fun<br>But she ain't a good teacher 😂

I just love how she makes this more fun
But she ain't a good teacher 😂

"What the fuck are the words" <br>Literally me when I write a song 😂😂

"What the fuck are the words"
Literally me when I write a song 😂😂


"New girl" is like seeing dodie's future.


can you do a tutorial on how to play adored by him please :)???? <3


I think I've pretty much got the finger positions but I'm having trouble with the picking/strumming pattern. Any help ? X


Aww I snapped a string trying to tune for this and now I have to wait till new strings arrive to learn this... Life is hard


i knew i shouldn't have un tuned my guitar damn how is she so fucking good ugh stahp


I still can't get your strumming down but it's alright cuz I still loved this tutorial tysm 💚


Dodieeee is this song on iTunes???? I'm thinking of singing it for my singing lesson/school concert


yAY!  I'm so happy you made this ah thank you lotsies <3


I cringed when I heard your untuned guitar at the beginning. But it also made me laugh . Love you Dodie!


Ahhhh it's killing me! XD Whats the strumming/picking pattern for a uke anyone?


does anyone know what guitar that is or have any recommendations for one? Thank you!


yaaasss. now i can play to my friends !!

I play guitar...
WHAT THE HECK AM I SUPPOSE TO PLAY I DONT GET THIS!?!?!


i tried to tune it like Dodie did and a string broke lol


hahaha the instrumental part photo. I love u.


I'd love to cover this. But can I sing he insted of she?

Tammian hi I’m one year late but that lyric is amazing! Very creative and sad and beautiful

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


when u need to sneeze that made me laugh so hard


WHY AM I ONLY SEEING THIS NOW. WHERE WAS I?? UNDER A ROCK?


Does anyone have tips for playing this on ukulele?


Do you know the ukulele chords? I don't have a guitar


is it just me or does what you play sound NOTHING like the tutorial? does anyone know of a tutorial that really explains it?


can you make a tutorial for a version of your song la vie en rose?

i'm not dodie too. happy birthday whatever.


This is the first song I've attempted to learn and I'm struggling.

i have been in guitar lessons for 3 years and bc she skips over things so quickly in her tutorials i still cant learn this, its so annoying!

try learning sick of losing soulmates it's sooooo much easier and I'm trying to learn guitar too I feel your pain!!


So for strumming pattern I found

‘Pick’ at first string
Strumming up twice
Repeat OVer and over again for the entire song.


Man it's 1:50am, if it was like 8pm I would be learning it.
Gotta wait till tomorrow now Gahhh :(


petition for dodie remake this tutorial.


Hey could you please right down the chords for ukulele????


is it possible to play this on the ukulele?


dodie, can i pleeeeaaassse use this instrumental for a personal CD im burning for my friend? id just be adding vocals


can someone tell me the strumming pattern thingy lol :P


I busted my guitar string trying to tune it to the key .... Guess I got a homophobic guitar


who’s come back to this now that the Human EP is out? 🎶


For anyone else struggling with the tuning the notes are  D A D F♯ A D.


i wish i would watched this before i uploaded a cover on my channel with c, g and f chords 😂 oh well


I THINK WE HAVE THE SAME GUITAR THATS SO COOL


you're so lovely, stop it!! nah, never stop it, i love you!!! :D


Can someone clever please work out the chords so I can play this piano, thanks :)

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

@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.

@Elena Jones  I realise now that it was quite off, but that was just me rapidly writing this out at 12 am


Is there anyway this could be played on the ukulele? I don't have a guitar :(


that's how i play guitar because i'm too busy to learn the "proper" way hah


“Then it gets tricky” I WAS ALREADY LOST


okay so I never played guitar, more of a singer, but this doesn't look TOO difficult. gonna invest tomorrow (at least) into learning this song.


When you think she’s sneezing in the thumbnail


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

@emmadoesnthavebraces it will be hard at first, but your fingers will toughen if you keep playing :)

oh ok i'll try that then! (i'm pretty new to guitar and idk why i never realised this was a thing), thanks!

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 :)


Someone please tell me the strumming pattern.


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


Does someone know what strings to strum/pluck??? (you can tell idk what I'm doing)


Am I the only one who finds sheet music easier to read than tab (I'm a massive guitar nerd)


This is bar none the cutest thing I've ever watched, nose scrunch and all


Is there a way to play to this on the piano

Search KeyboardKate on YouTube she did a  tutorial

I play by ear and figured about how to play it on piano. The chords are D, G, A, and D

+Naomi Nettekoven yeah there is !! I'm trying to make a tutorial on it lol


How the hell do you know when to start singing, the timing doesn't make sense in hy head, help!!


could someone please explain the strumming


You can do this strumming normally, thank God!


Learning this right now ahhhh a tough cookie


the tuning is d a d f# a d (its open d btw) that's for people who want to know because when dodie was explaining it I didn't understand it


how is she strumming? Like in what pattern


What if I don't want to tune my guitar in this bc I spent so long tuning my guitar properly. What do I do-

use these chords

verse: D, G
chorus: Bm, A, G
bridge: same as chorus


dODIE CLARK YOU ARE THE CUTEST HUMAN BEAN


can someone help me with a strumming pattern or picking pattern pls ahhh


This is really confusing for lefties, I have to play everything backwards xD


If you practice heaps you can do it!!! 😄

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... 😊


im finding it really hard to make out what the right hand is doing, does anyone know how to pick it like this?


Thought I tuned the G string too low. Tuned it up a bit. I was wrong. Rest in Peace, G String... :'(


could you talk more about the trimming???


Dor a second there I thought she said, "She tastes like burger king!"


How does the finger picking go? That's the only part I'm having difficulty with.


I'm a bit confused on the strumming pattern....


From this video and me tuning with a tuner i think the tuning is a variant of DADGAD but switch the G with an F#


Omg I think I'm in love right now. Is that ok?*.*


I'm really struggling with the strumming pattern that you're doing! HELPPPP!


How do you 'pick'?? Or like... a single string at a time???


of course the thumbnail is you about to sneeze 😂😂😂


Ahh so I played that completely wrong on mine :') x


facepalms
I played it very wrong because there's me forgetting that she's a frikcin magician !!! And can do anything

*facepalms*
I played it very wrong because there's me forgetting that she's a frikcin magician !!! And can do anything


If you have a capo, put it on the 4th string :0


"She tastes like- Um, what the fuck are the words?"


how do she do that finger strumming thing?


I CANT FINGER PICK!! HOW DO I PLAY THIS?!?!


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


it's not the best tutorial but I'll try to figure it out


"What the fuck are the lyrics" 😂 oh dodie


Hey this was uploaded on y birthday! Its funny because this is my favourite song of hers


You're so cute. Your videos make me smile 😄


Unfortunately I can't fit 4 of my fat fingers on one fret :(. Thanks for trying anyways, I still love the song!


go to ukutabs.com to and search 'she' and boom ukulele chords :)


idk im not focusing to the cords youre just so cute omg im gonna die because of this


you are cooler than dry ice and cuter than labradoor puppies raised to kittens times sunrises


anyone able to help me with the strumming pattern?


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


Dodie girly I love you to death but throughout this entire video all I could say was "what the fuck" rip


i just do  barre chord across all the strings on 5,7 and 9th frets


can anyone help me with the finger potions for the right hand? i cant really see how she strums :(


You tuned your guitar a semitone sharp 😭😭


Love you but this is the hardest tutorial ever


The next one goes does to 'baaaaa'<br>Oh dodie

The next one goes does to 'baaaaa'
Oh dodie


help what am i supposed to do with my right hand? i can't figure out how i need to play it :/

Line random plucking of the first string and strumming. It's kind of all over the place


I know that this video is hella old but is there a way that you coild make a video like this but for piano?


i need help the strumming pattern has me sobbing


at 1:34 she sounded Scottish saying "pressing"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


you are so fucking adorable wtaf, I think I'm addicted. xxxxxxxxxxxx


I was just like ahahaha I can't play guitar what a good place to start. Nope. Not ready for this at all


Omg omg how did you tune your guitar to an open string d...


I'm sorry but what exactly were the strings tuned to, I can't figure it out. It always sounds weird.


Hey dodie....I’m gonna need u to explain that strumming


I lyke zee glasses 😊 But yeah could this be ukulele-fied?


tuning was kinda confusing dodie- but youre just good


very Joni Mitchell to change the tuning to an open chord


The tutorial for she was in a different key...


I broke my string trying to tune the guitar someone please help me


Yeah uh I still don’t understand the tuning and now I want to cry.


the tuning broke a string on my guitar :((((


Don't know the finger pattern for right hand:(


i think this is higher than open d but still


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


I manage the tuning at least and I'm good to go


"next one goes to baaaahhhhhh <b>concentrating look</b>"

"next one goes to baaaahhhhhh *concentrating look*"


I DONT UNDERSTAND HOW TO TUNE OPEN D AND IM GOING TO START CRYING AHHHHHHHHHH

+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


can anyone help me out with the strumming?

금동불교.청동불상조성소


i can’t manage to tune it correctly HELPP


How to tune the strings like that  ahhh i dont get it


i just realized this was posted on my birthday!


its abit confusing but very helpful. hey this is not cheating , its making things easier :D btw this is very so ADORBS!


2019 people, Fender has a really good tuning app (it’s free) that’ll let you tune in open D :)

Omg thank you so much, I'm renting a school guitar and I'm so scared I'll break it lmao


I'm not gay, and I think she is adorable.


I tuned my guitar to open d tuning but it still sounds lower than yours. Help me out?

Haha exactly, I knew it was a tad bit sharp XD I agree that it still sounds gorgeous though, I really like that key

your guitar is probably tuned correctly, her's is actually a half step higher than D. still sounds gorgeous

Yeah, different guitars do sound a bit different, but they should sound pretty similar if they're properly in tune

Dodie was a bit sharp (I have perfect pitch) so if your guitar was in tune it should sound a tad bit lower than dodie's ^_^


open D tuning means
E - D
A - A
D - D
G - F#
B - A
e - D


i hear it as down, down up down up down, down up down up down, down up. (but i'm not sureeeee so please don't quote me kthnx)


Damn Dodie my fat fingers cant hold 4 next to each other XD


For some reason i want her nose to touch mine, i cant explain it..


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


I believe that, my one at least, is a Maniya 4110c :D

@NonBinary Noah Do you know which make it is? it sounds great and I'm looking to switch from classical to acoustic!

I believe its the exact same one that was in this video! :D

+NonBinary Noah what type of guitar is it?


Lol, who's watching in 2016😂 ALMOST 2017! i still don't get what you are doing on the right hand


i tuned it like her and it went out horrible and now i dont know how to tune it back why do i attempt playing guitar i CaNt

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.

Kalista R the fact is that i'm scared of tuning it wich sounds really dumb,but i'm scared a string can break :(

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.

there's an app i use called guitar tuna for standard tuning i love it. it's free


HOW THE FUCK DO YOU TUNE IT? THAT LITERALLY MADE NO FUCKING SENSE


I don't really understand how she's strumming.


whattheheck so cute- okay im 6 years late


im in love with her.snsoxmzlzmsksms she is so fcking cute im not okay rn


i think i have the same guitar as you idk


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 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

@Evie Heffner thank you so much I'm going to try it out 😄😄

+Sophia Abigail http://www.8notes.com/guitar_tuner/open_d_tuning.asp?sstring=D2
This helped a lot for me. But I'm still having trouble with the strumming pattern. Good luck! I hope the website helps!


Am i the only one who don't understand the strumming pattern? Like not at all CX It's just such a nice song..


How the FUCK does one play this on guitalele

+LpsRachel- Star Yeah ;) it's a guitar in the size of a ukelele. :D


1:23 Bottom? hahahaha bottom! BOTTOM! Bottom!!? Papoy!


I fucking snapped my guitar string tuning it fuck fuck fuck


сонька квасонька


why does it sound so ugly when i play it


25th view! i feel priveliged (how do you even spell that what) XD


Jeez! Someone buy her a metronome.<br> I tried working out the tempo and my brain broke :Þ

Jeez! Someone buy her a metronome.
 I tried working out the tempo and my brain broke :Þ

+YooTubeStillSux she's not calling you anything, sob means cry


That tuning is a minor and so it’s not the same, I’m still trying to work out the actual tuning

+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 love her so much but she is a messssssssssssss
