Hi Pete! It always gives me a laugh how when I was in your maths lessons plodding my way through my GCSES, I never would have imagined that 10 years later I would continue to return back to your KZfaq channel on the regular, to instead be taught how to play some of my favourite songs on guitar. Thank you once again for having such a talent for this, excited to see more from the new album!🫡

Its the same picking pattern as follies fixture, which was already one of the most addictive fingerstyle patterns I have yet learned, on steroids in regards to the pacing and melodic deftness. Repeating bars 8 to 11 ad nauseum feels so dam good under the fingers.

I concur. My family would also agree about the "ad nauseum" bit too 😆

If you do not want to tune your guitar all the way down you can also use this "minimal" tuning: E - Ab - Db - Gb - H - H Of course, you can't play along with the recording then but it's still fun.

@mknud1339 Жыл бұрын

Great work Pete. Can't wait to try it. The high E note that tuned to F - that would be a tuning up right? And not down? Otherwise you'd have to tune 5 notes down?

Thanks, not sure about walking backwards. Ben seems to write guitar songs or band songs (or at least the guitar part is quite submerged). I really have to want to learn a song to give it attention. The first two albums really had that pull, but the guitar interest has been much more scarce since.

@avel9638 Жыл бұрын

hey man great tutorial! what kind of strings are you using? I'm having trouble getting the tone of my guitar strings to sound as clean as yours

@BanthamLegend Жыл бұрын

Thanks. I explain my string set up here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jr53h6ma2rSbYYk.html The sound is not just purely about the strings. The way you pluck (nails Vs pads), where you pluck (closer to the bridge Vs closer to the neck) and the build of your guitar. My guitar is all solid spruce/rosewood with a dreadnought body so will sound similar to Ben's Martin D28.

how hard is this song for a intermediate player in comparison to playing everything by ben howard?

@BanthamLegend 11 ай бұрын

Pretty easy as it's so repetitive and not too fast. The awkward bit is the tuning...

@MartiniBlankontherest Жыл бұрын

My guitar can't even hold those low notes for a minute even. Been stretching and retuning for a half hour🤦‍♂️ Gotta get a new one i think. I love the old and worn tone, but it does show its age.

@BanthamLegend Жыл бұрын

The length of the vibrating string makes a difference. Longer string has more tension at the same pitch. So playing on a dreadnought at this tuning is more achievable than on a 00, for instance.
