15 1 String Guitar Songs Part 2 Beginners Guitar Songs Easy Songs to Play on Guitar

0:00 hi friends I'm Michael were from essential catalysis and let's do part two of fifteen songs using one finger in one string this time we're going to make it a bit harder we'll be learning another 10 songs using one string but we'll start to use all our fingers before you start make sure you've done part 1 I'll put a link in the description for you so this is the best way to take the next step after part 1 we're slowly building these skills on the guitar as usual I'll go slowly for the beginner and at the end do a quick version of all the songs if you enjoy this video give me a like and subscribe don't forget to hit the notification bell and if you're having any problems later comment you can also follow me on Facebook and Instagram so let's go

0:45 quickly over the tips for part 1 to refresh your memory first we're going to make a puppet without land like a soft puppet put it straight under the neck and straight up keeping your thumb straight so that's not off to the side at all and fingers as straight as you can to the frets when you're new you'll find they'll go on a bit of an ankle and that's alright make sure your wrist is down not over the top of the neck and our thumb lines up with the top of the neck or thereabout don't stick your fingers out when you play and keep them as close as possible to the strings when we're moving our thumb moves with us so it's coming up and then we're not anchoring our thumb and just moving our fingers so our thumb is moving with us the whole time now we could still play all this songs

1:32 using one finger but you won't progress so you can start playing chords and doing other harder techniques and we want each finger to be as strong as the next and the only way you can do this is by using them so why do we use more than one finger it's a bad economy of movement we want to move as little as possible so if I played the 3rd fret with my first finger and then play the fifth frame I have to move my whole hand up to get from the 3rd to the 5th if I just use different fingers I could use my first finger on the 3rd fret and then my 3rd on the fifth fret I don't have to move my hand at all now before we start we're going to number our fingers we're going to go one two three and four we don't include the thumb so I say use the first

2:18 finger we're using this one if I say use the fourth finger we're using our little finger so pretty easy now I show you how to change from one note to the next let's take your top E string get your pick ready on that we're gonna place our first finger on the third fret we play that one then I'm going to use my third finger and I'm gonna place that on the fifth fret and when I do that I lift my first finger off so I've gone third fret put my third finger down with my first finger off fifth fret now we don't always have to lift our fingers off but for those songs we will it's good practice so let's do that again first finger third fret we play that with their finger off after we've placed our

3:04 third finger down in the fifth fret play that and then we come back again gonna place my first finger on the third fret and then lift my third finger off the fifth fret so it's good exercise just to get used to doing that before you jump into the songs so let's have a look at that from a different angle so as you can see as I place one finger down I lift the other finger off that's going from the first finger to the third finger or the third finger to the first finger and we do the same with all our fingers okay so let's make a start on the songs remember while you're playing don't stick your fingers here try and keep them as close to the strings as possible but not touching them so the first one will do is cocaine bye JJ

3:51 Cale's so we play that for you then we'll break it there [Music] so we're going to start on the ice drink so get your pic ready to down from the top on the ice drink this time I'm going to start with our third finger place it on the 4th fret try and get as close to the front of the fret as you can and we're going to play that twice now we're going to go to the second fret on the same string but we're going to use our first finger this time so we lift their third finger off put our first finger on the second fret and we play that once and then back to the fourth fret same string again but this time with our

4:37 third finger again and play that once and then we're going to put a stop just using the palm of our hand like we did in part one so let's try that again for the third finger second fret with our first finger bang the fourth fret of their third finger stop and then we use our first finger again back on the second fret and we play that and we hold that for four one two three four so let's try that slowly there for to fall and then a stop and then two two three four and a little bit quicker full stop

5:25 two two three four and up to speed [Music] so that gives us started with a nice easy one just using the one story again but now we're using our first finger and our third finger and we don't have to slide our hand up and down the neck so now let's try summer loving from the grease soundtrack again we'll be using our first and third finger but this time on the D string so let me play that for you then we'll break it there so get

6:12 your pick ready on the D string so for up from the bottom place your pick there this time I'm going to start with an open we'll play that once and then put a stop get your first finger ready over the fifth fret don't touch it because that's the first time we'll be fretting the neck thing so we play the open once do a stop then we play it again and then the fifth fret with our first finger so open so pretty easy I'm gonna stop open five then we do another stop there then we play five again with our first finger and then we're gonna play the seventh fret with our third finger play that once and put a stop in there as well so

6:59 let me do that first pilot slowly it's a little bit confusing this one so stop slamming stop so whenever we're playing the fifth fret we're using our first finger whenever we're playing the seventh fret we're using our third finger now the last little part we're still on the seven so we just go simmon fine there first finger slimming with our third finger and five with our first finger so let's do that slowly open stop open five stop nine seven stop seven

7:45 five slimmin fine and finish on the open there which is the start the next cycle through so let's do that a little bit quicker now stop five stop slimmin stop 7-5 7-5 so just take this slowly we're now making it a little bit quicker just to get used to moving between the first finger and the third finger let's do that again and finish with the open so that one's a little bit

8:32 harder now we're going a little bit quicker we've got a few more stops in there but we're just using our first and third finger don't worry if this takes you a little while to get it's okay it's the first time we've started to use more than one finger okay now let's try 10t by ac/dc again we'll just use our first and third finger but this time we're going to be on the top a strip so we play that for you then we'll break it there [Music] their chorus we'll just do that two times

9:18 so let's go through that near I've shortened the whole thing the intro is meant to be played 11 times and then the chorus four times you can do that at home though so this time I'm going to start with an open on the a string so get your pick ready on the top string we play the open get your first finger ready for the third fret so you just have an eye over the tops don't have your hands down we play that once and then put a sloppy and then I stop then we use our first finger on the third fret play that once then our third finger on the fifth fret we play that once then we go back to the third fret with our first finger play that once and then a third finger again on the fifth fret play at once and then back to our

10:06 first finger on the third fret and play that what an exhale voice we do that 11th time so let's do that slowly again stop three five three my throne using our first and third finger let's do that again I've stopped three five three five three and up to speed five three five three open stop three five three five three there the next part just before the chorus we just go overland first finger third fret again three and then third finger fifth fret my

10:52 so it's pretty easy no three live there where course we can play this four times we stay on the fire we put a stop in after that last by and then my three and we just hold that V so we start again third finger fifth fret my first finger third fret Iranian and then and we can do that four times five three and again five three so make sure you're not putting your hand and you wave it over the top of the 5 and the 3 so weak strong we're ready to go on the five

11:38 five three no once we've done that four times we put a stop in we're playing the third fret again with our first finger and then the fifth fret with our third finger and that gives us a whole intro plus the chorus of the song so let's play that through slowly and stop three five three five three I'll do that again open stop three nine three my phrase stop and then we'll do an ex parte open three I've stopped and there we of course my three we just hold that open and again my

12:23 three hold it again five three I was on my three then we v3 I've listed it up too sweet [Music] oh yeah [Music] one more time and you're three live

13:13 so that one there's not much harder it's just a little bit longer so there's more to remember so again just go slowly build up your speed and get used to changing between the first and the third finger now let's do another one more till another one bites the dust by Queen again we're going to be using our first and third finger all on the top a string so let me play that for you then we'll break it there so this one's quite quick again just go slowly we're going to start on the top E string again so get your pit ready third finger on the fifth fret we

13:58 play that once first finger on the third fret we play that once then we go to the open we play that once a stop again stop again stop so we're talking this stops all in a row there five three oh stop stop stop then we're going to do three opens with no stops one two three then we take your first finger third fret play that one once the open again so just lift your finger off don't put your hand down and then the fifth fret with our third finger once B

14:45 let's try that slowly my three-pound stop stop stop [Music] and again a little bit quicker one more time up to speed so again a little bit

15:30 harder we're now moving quite quick at that first part so it makes it much easier when they're using two fingers rather than try to slide one finger and that's the point of using different fingers as well as trying to strengthen them so finally we know so we can do that quite quick now that will take a bit of practice but you'll get it so let's try and what I come around by great day we'll just do the chorus on this one this time we're gonna use our first finger and their fourth finger little finger so this is the hardest one to do because our little fingers normally the weakest so let's give that a go I'll play it for you then we'll break it there [Music] I started with our first finger on the

16:19 top E string against we get your pit ready we're to place our first finger this time on the fourth fret and we're gonna play that eight times five six seven eight so pretty easy so far then we're going to use that little finger this is a hard part going to stretch that right up to the top a string place it on the seventh fret lift your first finger off again and then we're going to play that one there eight times again on the seventh fret so one two three then we go back to our first pick up on the fourth fret again so we're lifting our little finger off first finger fourth fret eight times again then we've got a finish on the

17:08 seventh fret and we're just gonna play that twice swimmin with our little finger so let's try that slowly first finger fourth fret 8 ties fourth we got 7th fret first finger fourth fret again eight times right and two times and the seventh fret with our fourth finger again let's try that a little bit quicker up display

18:05 [Music] they might find that quite hard when we're starting again it's normally hard to get our little finger up to the top a string but a bit of practice you'll get it remember we want all our fingers as strong as the next so let's try it you really got me by the kicks let me play that for you then we'll break it there [Music]

18:52 so the first five songs we did we were staying in one position so this is going to be a little bit harder there we're going to be moving up the neck of the guitar so this time all on the E string again just using our first and third finger take your first finger place it on the first fret play that once may third finger on the third fret play that twice and then back to your first finger on the first fret once again and then your third finger third fret what's there let's see our first little section am I gonna do that four times let's do that slowly one three three one three

19:38 and a little bit quicker one three three one three and then we can put a stop at the end of each one they and again one three three one three stop stop stop then we're going to move up the neck so remember don't anchor your thumb that comes with this now we're going to place our first finger on the third fret and we're going to do the same pattern but we're going to be using the third and fifth fret so one time on the third fret with your first finger third finger on the fifth fret two times back to your first finger on the third fret once and

20:25 then back to your third finger on the fifth fret once so you can see it's the same pattern we've just moved it up the neck so we have three five five three five and again three five three five and we do that four times five five three five three five then we're going to do another position shoot this time we're going to come all the way up to the eighth fret using the eighth fret and the tenth fret against a patent us before so first finger on the eighth fret we play that once third finger on

21:14 the 10th fret we play that twice back to the 8th fret with your first finger once and then third finger 10th fret once let's try that slowly right 810 and we can do that four times again i-i-i-i and then we just finish on the right we can hold that all the way up all the

22:18 way up to the eighth fret now remember similar to the other songs we did in part one spot your fret so while applying three and five I could look at the eighth fret that way I could hit it straight away so my intent in painting identified in my Denton brand in mind engine right and it is pretty shortly ight and one will talk up the spoon think I

23:10 need it free in there that's okay dude three or four and just finish on the eight so again we've made it a little bit harder we're now using position shifts but we're all on the one string and we're just using our first and third finger now let's try Iron Man this time we'll be all on the ice string but we're using our first second and third fingers so they play that for you that will break it there [Applause] [Music] and with some quick movements again there and we also want to spot the fret like we did in part one this time we're going to start with our first finger on

23:57 the second fret on the a-string so get your pick ready there play it at once then we do a position shift so we move our whole hand up first finger on the fifth fret and we play that twice now we're changing to our third finger on the seventh fret and we do that twice so let's try that slowly five 5/7 now this is a tricky part come to another position shift take your second finger place that on the tenth fret play that once then you first pick on the ninth fret play that once and then we do that again take with that second finger down with your first finger and again

24:43 ten with their second finger now with our first finger there we spot all the way back there to the 5th frets and we're spotting up fret D we play the fifth fret with our first finger twice and then our third finger on the seventh fret twice so that last 10 10 5 five Simenson let's try it slowly five five seven ten nine ten nine ten nine five five seven seven and a little bit quicker

25:30 [Music] that one's quite difficult when they're jumping from the 10 and the 9 all the way back to the 5 with our first finger say a finish on the 9th fret with your first finger and then we're jumping all the way back to their first finger back at the 5th fret so one more time up the screen [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] so again just go slowly build your speed on that one now let's try other pocket roll by Joe chip again we'll be using our first of the third finger all on the

26:16 top a string so we play that for you then we'll break it there so it lots of stops in this one as well and we're moving quite quick so we've got our position shifts again so this time we start without open a string so you get to pick ready on the a string you play the open twice get your hand ready above the third fret that's where we'll be going next so two times on the open and a stop then another two with another stop now take your first finger

27:01 place it on the third fret we play that once and then your third finger on the fifth fret and we play that twice so we have open open stop open open stop three five five now we're going to do the position shift take your third finger place it on the seventh fret and we do that two times and then this is a bit jump so you can spot your Freddie kid third fret first finger and we play that once so we play that the first part for you nice and slowly and stop moving Tobin's stop free my five stop Simmons

27:49 cinnamon throne and again a little bit quicker stop three five five stop seven simmer throwing they let next parts nearly exactly the same the N bit tighter so into two opens again and a stop code and stop - opens again stop first you can get third fret we play that once third finger fifth fret we do that two times stop now we slide up to the 7th fret again with our third finger but this time we only play it once back to our first finger on the third fret we play that once and then

28:37 the open two times and a stop the open again two times in a stop so that second part let's do that slowly movement homeland stop open open stop 3x5 stop simin 300-bed stop open open stop so let's put it all together at a slow pace open stop open stop three my guys stop seven seven three open stop three my

29:24 five snipper three stop stop then the reason I'm using my third finger on the seventh fret is so I don't have to move as much to get back to that third fret if I was using my first finger which I could do I've got a jump a lot further back rather than just using my third finger and I could just lift it up there so one more time up display [Music] so again just take your time build your speed on that one we've got some fast

30:09 ships again there but just using our first and third finger let's do another one let's do you and your hand by pink this time we'll be using our first finger third finger and their fourth finger and we'll be playing on the a string just let me play that for you so not too hard the hard part is using your little finger again so this time we're going to start on the seventh fret on the a string to down from the top so get your pick ready their first finger seventh fret we play that once and then put a stop in now we're going to use our

30:54 little finger again this will be tricky when you're first start but we want to practice using our little finger tenth fret we play that once then we're going to come back to the fifth fret with our first finger play that once and then we're going to use our third finger for the seventh fret then we're going to play that twice hmm then do a stop this so we have Simmons stop five seven soon and then it just keeps repeating from that 10 so we go back to our little finger on the tenth fret again once back there first finger on the fifth fret what's and our third finger on the seventh fret twice mm-hmm there's a

31:41 couple of different ways you can finger this we're doing it this way so that while we're getting used to using different fingers and doing position shifts so let's do that slowly seven oh stop then five seven seven stop dead five Simon Simon stop and again by 17 stop let's try that a little bit quicker again [Applause] five seven seven five seven seven and again and one more time up display so

32:35 again that one's gonna be a little bit harder we're using your little finger so it's hard to stretch up to those top strings there and we're moving fairly quickly we've got a position shift as well so they are getting harder now so just take your time and practice those now let's try mary had a little lamb this time we'll be using el bottom a string and our first third and fourth fingers again so let me play that for you then we'll break it there again there's a few different ways we can figure this I'll show you how I'm playing it now so now get your pic ready

33:20 on the bottom of a string take your third finger place it on the fourth fret and we play that once and then we use our first finger for the second fret when we play that once then we're doing open so we just looked our first finger off don't put your hand down and back to the second fret with your first finger so our first little part now back to your third finger on the fourth fret we're gonna play it three times so one two three and then back to your first finger on the second fret and we play that three times now we're going to do position shifts we're going to

34:05 move our first finger up to the 4th fret play that once and then our little finger on the seventh fret and we're gonna play that twice so make sure you're at the front of the fret with your little finger we don't want to be buzzing back here so middle to front of the fret pushing really hard so let's try that first part again to position shift four seven seven now we do the position shift again back to your third finger on the 4th fret we play that once 2nd fret first finger once there open

34:54 again first finger second fret once third finger on the fourth fret three times first finger second fret two times third finger fourth fret once first finger second fret once and then elf let's play the whole thing through slowly to position shift four seven seven position shift again and a little

35:49 bit quicker [Music] [Laughter] chicken [Laughter] [Music] and one more time up to speed [Music] [Laughter] [Music] Oh so that last one this the harness what we've done we've got position shifts we're using our little finger our third finger and our first finger now these songs are going to be much harder than

36:34 what we did in part one so don't get disheartened just put a little bit more practice into it because we want to get used to using all their fingers and that'll make it easier for when you come to playing chords or pay our chords we're doing how to techniques on the guitar so now let's do a quick version of these songs as well so starting with cocaine let me play that for you then we'll go through it again so we started on the fourth fret with our third finger we play that two time first finger second fret we play what third finger fourth fret we play once we put a stop in there and then we use our first finger for the second fret and we hold the count of four so let's do that

37:21 slowly for any key for up to speed so it's a good one to get a style of just using the first and third finger now let's try summer loving that we play that for youth then we'll break it so this time on D string so get your pick ready therefore up from the bottom we

38:08 play the open once and then does stop then we do it again now we're gonna take your first finger place on the fifth fret and play that once and then put a stop in there then we play the fifth fret again with our first finger then we take your third finger place it on the seventh fret and play that once so we have a stop I stopped my Simmons stop never going to leave our third finger on the seventh fret play that once back to our first finger on the fifth fret once seventh with our third finger and five with our first finger that last little parts seven five seven five and then we start again back to be open so let's do that

38:55 slowly oh stop stop no seven stop seven five seven five and up to speed so another fairly easy one just using our first and third finger now let's try T or T ac/dc we'll go back to our top E string again just using our first and third finger so we play that for you then we'll break it there [Music]

39:51 now what made parts shorter the first part place for 11 times their chorus goes four times let's start now pick on the top E string you play the open then we do a stop first finger third fret we play that once third finger fifth fret we play that once back to the third fret once fifth fret once and third fret once so whenever we're using the third fret it'll be our first finger whenever we're using the fifth fret it'll be our third finger and that goes for the whole song so I start part I'm gonna stop 3 5 3 5 3 it is what a quite a long way to solve it does it 11 times so stop 3 5 3 5 3

40:42 and the park just before the chorus just doesn't open three of them versa finger five of the third finger five and we hold that B then we of course is just five three so third finger fifth fret first finger third fret and then the onion we do that four times five three hold that open evocate five three oh then you can do that four times and to finish the chorus off first finger third fret third finger fifth fret and that gives us the whole song they said start that again let's just go slowly open stop three

41:28 five three five three open stop three five three five three I've been Nick part three my course Mike three open and again five three open individual Murray my so that one's a little bit harder now it's moving a little bit quicker and we've got a lot to remember thee to this user tab go through it slowly now let's try another one bites the dust we play that for you and we'll break it dear so again all on

42:14 the top a string just using our first and third finger so we'll start with our third finger on the fifth fret top E string we play that once and then we're going to use our first finger on the third fret and we play that once then the open stop open again stop I'm gonna get in stop then we do three opens without the stop so start part five three and stop moving stop moving stop and in a moment first finger third fret one time over third finger fifth fret one time just play that through slowly my three

43:00 open stop open stop movin stop open open open three open and a little bit quicker [Music] so now that's getting a little bit harder again because we're moving quite quickly a start part using the 5 and the 3 back to the open now let's try another one let's do when I come around this

43:46 time we're going to be using our little finger but still on the top edge tricks let me play that for you that will break it there [Music] so now starting on that top E string that you pick ready their first finger fourth fret we're going to play that eight times never kind there where little fingers going to be on the seventh fret so this is quite hard when you're beginning but we want to practice using our little finger so you played that on the seventh fret and we play that eight times as well seven eight back to the fourth fret with our first finger another eight times great and

44:35 then finish with your fourth finger on the seventh fret again and we just play that two times so seven sim let's try that slowly kinda fish of the seventh fret up display [Music] and each other soon so that one's going to be harder next we're using our little finger and normally when you're beginning it's hard to get your little finger up to the top a strip bit of practice you'll get there so now it's

45:22 fine you've really got my let me play it for you then we'll break it [Music] now the first songs we did we didn't do any position shifts we weren't moving our hand up so this is the first time we'll be doing it it's not too hard so all on the top E string again using our first and third finger we got to play first finger first fret we'll play that once at our third finger on the third fret we play that two times back

46:10 to our first fret with our first finger once and then our third finger third fret once so slowly 1 3 3 1 3 and we do that four times a little bit quicker now we're going to do exactly the same thing but we're going to use a position shift we've got to move our first finger up to the 3rd fret but when I keep the pattern exactly the same so we play that once 3rd finger 5th fret we play twice back to our first finger on the third fret what's and then a third finger fifth

46:57 fret once so 3 3 5 and we do that four times five three so you can see we're just moving that padding up the neck so now we've got another big position shift we've got to come up to the 8th fret with your first finger play that once third figure 10th fret twice back to well first finger on the eighth fret and then our third finger on the 10th we do that you've got three or four times again this I did I did I did and then we just

47:44 finished on the ice thing so we play that three times at the end first two we do four types that's it nice for slowly [Music] position shoots [Music] and one more time up this way so again

48:48 we're starting to move quick and we're starting to call position shifts in there as well so now let's try Iron Man I'll be playing it for you it'll be on these ice string but this time we're going to use our first second and third fingers and apply that fluid [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] so now we're starting with our first finger on the second fret on the a string so get you picked ready there we play that once then we're going to move here first we can get up to the fifth fret remember don't see why didn't I just lift it off slightly push the pressure back down on the fifth fret and

49:34 the 1st finger play that two times then our third finger on the seventh fret we do that two times then we're gonna do another position shift this time we'll run our second finger on the 10th fret we play that once 1st finger on the 9th fret we play once to get a king 10 9 and again no back to the fifth fret with our first finger we play that twice and then the seventh fret with that third finger we played that twice so remember to spot your frets like we did in part once let's try that slowly do five five Simenson ten nine ten nine ten nine nine

50:21 five Simenson and you get a little bit quicker Simon Simon ten nine ten nine ten nine five five sinan simin and up display [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] and that last time I did the first finger on the fifth fret and the seventh fret because that might have easier to get to the tenth fret and you can change your fingers around like that as you get better at playing these songs so let's try like rock and roll that we played it for you then we'll break it there okay

51:19 so all on the top base to again we're gonna have a position shift but we're just using our first and third finger again so we're playing the open twice and put a stop open twice again and in another stop now first finger third fret play that once and then third finger fifth fret we played twice now we're going to take your third finger we're going to move that up to the seventh fret so that's their position shifts we'll play that twice back to our first finger on the third fret play that once so that first part going slowly open stop stop three five seven seven three their next part

52:08 still exactly the same we have open hundred stop then stop three five seven three open home and stop home and stop and we're using the same figures as we did for the first part let's play that whole thing slowly here I've been home and stop I've been home and stop three five seven seven three open handed stop open comon stop three three stop I've been home and stop
