How To Play I'M A BELIEVER (The Monkees) Plus Free charts! 

I am a guitar teacher aged ... well ... very old. Plus been teaching for over 45 years, still teaching. This guy is magic. Listen, watch and learn. Superb!

When I was in junior school, about 8 or 9 years old, in 1967, the teachers thought it might be nice to put the radio on in the school canteen during dinner time. This song came on and all the kids went mad dancing around, climbing on chairs and tables, and screaming. It was amazing. Needless to say, they never put the radio on again. I have always loved this song.

Thank you so much. Your music sheets are awesome and helpful.

Just discovered your channel. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and for keeping it free so people can learn. Needless to say I subscribed. Love what you do 🎸

your teaching is so clear and engaging, thank you

A great lesson, Rob. Classic from the Monkees and written by Neil Diamond.

Never forget Neil Diamond the author of this iconic song.

Wonderfully taught lesson, Rob. You have great talent not only as a musician but as a teacher of music. Bravo! 👏 and thank you!

Pretty good lesson!! Thanks.

HI Rob found your channel to days ago. I am a late starter (64) Great Teacher.

Nice video!! But the song was written by Neil Diamond, -- he of the dreadful "Shilo When We Were Young," but also he of the great "Draggin' the Line." This song was written for the Monkees and they actually performed it quite well, I'm told.

Gold I’m new to this channel, and WILL be back!

I use this F often! Love it!! Good for arthritic fingers 😊 great tutorial!!

Love the great and easy approach to teaching these songs, Subscribed..Thank you.

"I'm a Believer" - Written by Neil Diamond !

Another great lesson , explained in a nice easy manner 😊

Loving these Rob. I particularly like this version. Great work. 👍🏼

Great Work on Teaching us beginners! Much Appreciated! Thank you Rob 😍

Absolutely brilliant 🍀

Great song... great lesson.. thanks!

Thanks for the video. Very well done.

Great job explaining. Your a good teacher

Played and sang this song in the late 90's.

Thanks Rob, I'm going to give this one a go!

That song was written by Neil Diamond

Too much fun!! Thank you!

Great teacher!

Brilliant mate!

Thanks, Rob. May have a stab at this now that I have Big Yellow Taxi under my guitar strap! 😂

Ganz Toll sehr gut gemacht ! Danke !

This is great, thanks.

Brilliant

I normally use the D7 G7 C chords for the organ bit works ok

Hey :) As a classical guitar player and electric blues player I find a hard time to adjust my right hand for acoustic fingerstyle blues, resting right hand on the bridge. Any tips?

Dear Rob, please, please, please, please, please do "Thankyou for talking" by Hall and Oates from their 72 album "whole Oates". A really lovely mellow finger picking tune. I think you'll love it.

Thanks

About giving credit to the person who actually wrote it, Neil Diamond

Come on! I love Monkees, but credit where it is due: Neil Diamond wrote this song! 😊

Thanks again for another great lesson rob, I'm a perpetual novice guitarist of 75years of age, your style of teaching has inspired me to have another go at trying to improve my guitar playing from a different perspective. Love the choice of songs, as well as you'r sense of humour thanks again Rob, looking forward the next one!.

This is definitely a stand out song from my childhood in the aherm..... 60's! And the woman I love likes it too. I'm going to learn it and sing it to her now 😊. I don't look forward to those barred F chords either so I'll play it the way you recommend. Thank you, subscribed! What is the gold disc on the wall behind you?

Hello mate, I'm just start to learn, I can't seem to get through the finger pain, does it ever stop ? Great lesson 👍

EXELENTE👍😁BUENA.🦻🤟👅🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽

This Wednesday thing sounds good, not just for beginners, because its always good to have some of these under your belt, for that 'sing-a-long/camp fire' type situation. Thanks Rob.

Great lesson!

song was written by Neil Diamond for the monkeys Also love to love and black and blue and 2 others. im a believer was the big hit the producers who put the TV series together asked some of the best song writers to help out Neil Diamond agreed .

very good, very didactic. I liked . congratulations

Just started as a beginner at 72! Looked at a lot of videos and I just love your approach. Technique and humor is just what I need. Also, love the ‘old’ stuff we grew up with. Keep it up! Nashville, here.

Can't wait to learn this Rob. Takes me back as a kid in the 80's watching the TV show. Good times.

Your magic.❤

Good evening Rob..interesting lessons…I’m super green as far as playing guitar and I hope you dont mind my few questions..first, do you suggest I play your lessons starting from the first and gradually moving on..and secondly on your tutorial of I’m a believer, on the second page do you strum 1-2-3-4 for g than d…etc…txs for your advices

Great thank you. Whenever I get depressed I always put the CD of the Monkees greatest hits. Gives me a lift. Could you do The Two of Us.

Amazing video! Love this song. I would like to request (if you`ve already did I`ll search your channel) A little bit me A little bit you, and Daydream believer. Congrats again on the great video. Regards from Brazil.

Hey nice sounding guitar. What make and model is it?

Hi Rob, anorher wonderful lesson. I was listening to junction 39 today, could you do a version of your blurred white lines for guitar?

Thanks chap. Helped me get out my key of C rut Sub'd for more.

Deveria tocar mais e falar menos....

Then I saw her face Then-I-saw-her-beaver !

Thanks Rob. You do seem to pick some great songs - all the ones I would want to learn on guitar!

Cheers, Rob. Nicely explained.

Thankyou Rob for that intro ( I am much older than you )

Neil Diamond not the monkies

Great stuff, this guy’s tutorials are amazing. Most appreciated 🙏🏻 subscribed 🙏🏻

Nicely done fella! Thank you. 👍 Regards, Dave

Brilliant lesson. Thank you so much. 😊

Thanks!

sei molto bravo ma è molto difficile seguirti...troppe interruzioni...quello che a intuito ascoltandoti suonare e cantare potrebbe essere utile, lo mandi in confusione dalle troppe pause che ctedii possone essere d'aiuto invece ti fanno smarrire

great teacher...

I love your teaching. Mi friend

Thanks Rob! Another jamming Wednesday lesson!

Thank you for your dedication Rob

Great lesson as always and ur a fab teacher . Great one when someone hands u a guitar for s singalong

top man

Excellent. Thank you.

Muito bom! Adorei a aula! Att: Gama

Congrats....you managed to turn a 60 sec lesson into a 20 min video. But it's cool...thanks.

Thanks! Have a cuppa

PS .. I have got to add Fennah Rob, is a superb musician! Love the style!

So cool , like it 😎👍🏻

Very nicely done.

Very nice lesson!

Of course that opening riff was played on a keyboard on the track…..but handy to have it for guitar!

Truly, truly fantastic, entertaining, and delightful! Just discovered you, sir, and couldn't subscribe fast enough. Thanks for a wonderful tute-- I'm gonna hafta watch it a few dozen times, but I'm looking forward to it, ditto all your other lessons. Cheers, and thanks a million!! 👍👏💪🙏😊

Thank you I never thought to learn and add to my playlist. I loved watching the monkeys. I like your style and helping out US oldheads with the chords charts. Reminiscing about how I would buy a songbooks before tab that had chord stamps that were at times accurate

It certainly wasn't Mike Nesbitts' favourite song, but as always a well put together fun little lesson 👍👍👍

Thank you thank you thank you, I was mucking about played the big G then moved down to a Cadd9 then moved the fingers down to what I now know as F6, it sounded good but I had no idea what chord it was but now I know

Great video Rob. Easy to follow as usual and you always make me feel as if I can play any tune 1st time. Keep up the brilliant work.

The best tutorial ever. Thank you

Great lesson Rob, keep it coming you are such a great teacher and with your blue notes makes your lessons like no others!

Great job I was attentive through out

This lad is brilliant great bit of playing and teaching

Another great lesson keep em coming sir 🇮🇪👍

Another great lesson! Thank you. I hope you do decide to do the 10cc song. It's one of my absolute favorites!

Good channel and tips. You kinda look like Eric Clapton's brother. 🤣

Tanks!!❤

Is this Eric Claptons younger brother? Good lesson.
