Amy's guitar

I'm really sorry that's a mistake the message started with "I know how to play...ect" (under the videos) is from me but I'm not
used to this forum and must did something wrong when I posted it... and it's the same for the one behind : the second link video of amy playing
electric guitar is from me but it isn't noticed, I don't know why...

If anyone knows that strumming, someone could explain me it slowly...  

Hi guy ! I know how to play those songs but I'm not a guitar teacher so I'll try to explain but I don't know if it'll help you...
So it sounds like : down down down down down down down down up down and she stresses on the 1st, 4th, 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th.
It's something like DOWN down down DOWN down down DOWN DOWN UP DOWN
Please tell me if you've succeed in !

Hi Chuppachups,

Why did you post a quote without any new message from you? If there's a reason for that please give me a feedback - otherwise I would like to delete it because such quotes messes up the forum.


Cheers,
R.E.M.O.

Amy is pictured playing a range of acoustic guitars these days - successful touring artists usually have many. However, around the time of her first album she was interviewed by 'Acoustic' magazine where she talked about her Gibson J200 which her dad recommended that she get. This is probably her first and most distinctive guitar - it has a carved bridge and a floral design on the pickguard which make it noticable over other acoustics.

I'm sorry but for that I can't help you ! I absolutely don't know how to play guitar !  

I'm playing guitar for 2 years, but i still don't know the strumming that she is playing in "Spark", "Slow It Down", "Don't Tell Me That It's Over", "The Green And The Blue", "Run"...

She seems to have started with a Gibson J200 around the time of her first album.  Recent You tube videos show her playing Taylors and Matons.  She seems to play mostly in standard tuning, and I remember reading somewhere that the reason she changes guitars after almost every song is because she plays them hard and they go out of tune.  I seem to remember a photo of her with a Telecaster, but I've never seen her play electric on stage.

Thanks for all these infos !!! About her play electric guitar on stage , she did it one time ! She played a Oasis cover "Rock 'n Roll Star" at the Barrowlands !

I remasterised the sound burt the video is very bad so hard to see but she really plays with electric guitar !
