  • he was INCREDIBLE at shepherds bush empire last night ahhhh

  • seen him play live, just incredible. Everyone must see him!

  • Excellent

  • the 11 people who disliked this dont know music

  • Wow I don't know if ill ever like an artist as much as this amazing guy :)

  • If cannabis was to become legalised, a lot people would stop getting drunk and going out to shitty pubs with crap dance music, they'd go out and get high while listening to some amazingly chilled music like this. Which would boost their industry, creating more chances for more musicians like Ben to thrive! Just a thought I've been having recently.

  • Whats this type of guitar playing called???

  • think this is my fav song + vid of his so far.. + iv seen em all.. over + over + over again.. this 1 showcases his skills beautifully tho :-) cant wait to see him live in november!!! kerching!! ♥

  • I'm so in love

    

  • That's my future husband

  • If you like the guitaring in this video you should check out the video Airtap by Erik Mongrain. Equally as awesome!

  • So impressive!

  • great !!!!

    

  • Like ed sheeran without a loop pedal......coz bens not a lazy fucker like ed !! Ben Howard FTW. Lad <3

  • just amazing what he can do with his guitar

  • absolutely stunning

  • how can 11 people dislike this video! i wish every artist was as talented as Ben Howard

  • Best music \:D/

  • i'm in love with him and his voice!!

  • love it at 3:40 when he gets the crowds applause and looks at the girl and theyre both smiling

  • WOWEEE!!! :-O how much can 1 man rock??? i bow before him ♥

  • I love where she gets the 'la la la' bit wrong because she's enjoying it as much as I am!!!

  • A boy in my college tutor told me that my songs are all soppy and shit, he listens to screamo/hardcore it's just noise, this is true music!

  • @JustabitIndie true true get 2 see him live 

  • @randomguyrickie seeing him live on Feb 14th at Portsmouth, cannot wait.

  • @ryukiren im seeing him 22nd of feb in norwich

  • :O

  • Folk is alive and well - haunting and authentic, too!

  • unreal

  • is it just me or does his voice sound a bit like the guy from mumford and sons but a bit higher also... AMAZING SOUND!!!!!

  • :O

  • Anybody else think the start of this song sounds like the intro to "Calvin Harris - Feel so close". Obviously this song was written before and stuff. And this song is in a different league to anything Calvin Harris could produce

  • @stuastbury Hi there!! A friend of min who plays guitar too once told that every soud and sound combination possible on a guitar was played already so if this is true nobody could ever copy anyone else anymore!! Nice thought i guess

  • @zipflmolch I believe this to be true also, it's all about how you use that specific sequence, what you use it with, what emotions you put with it. The unique thing about Ben is his fantastic view point on life, and you can really see that in his music.

  • She is prety lovley to!!!!! thumps up guys if you agree!

  • this man is so sexy

  • Stunning sound

  • awesome,what talent.

  • unreal guitar skills

  • i dont understand how every single song he has is just amazing !!!!

  • Just amazing. Can't wait to see more of his stuff in the future!

  • he is SO talented!

  • 11 people weren't there under the same song........shame.........as lovely as they were

  • @hazzah1998 the songs called under the same sun not song. nice attempt for a top comment though.

  • Don't die with the music inside of you.

  • open this page again and play both with a 1 second delay

  • Ben Howard you are to be the new Newton Faulkner

  • @alicemegandavey no this guy surpasses anything hes ever done

  • Just found a guy called "Jacko Hooper" after reading an interview of his and he was saying Ben Howard was an influence (who i also didn't know until now!) He has a song on youtube called 'Common Sense' people should check him out, i've found two great artists in one day!! :D

  • @InYourWorld82 nice, thanks for sharing ! really does sound a lot like ben howard

  • @InYourWorld82 i love you for this!!! jacke''s amazing thank you xxxxx

  • @cervaintrex i know! so so so good, hopefully he will be playing with ben howard one day...

  • do you have to have an electro acoustic to do this madness/?

  • @darkflush15 nope.

  • i love this man.

  • Comment removed

  • Alot like john butler in his percussive approach to guitar

  • Oh wow. This is... amazing.

  • Muito bom!

  • he's pretty sick at guitar.

  • Rozpływam się...

  • what is the tuning?

    

  • @wesleygreer99999 Open C (low to high CGCGCE) with capo on 5 then he bars the 7th, 4th and 2nd frets (mostly) on the bottom 4 strings

  • @wesleygreer99999 actually he plays the 5th, 7th and 9th, then for the slightly lower part its the 4th and 2nd all barred on the lower 4 strings only

  • 3:52 Bring on the full body goosebumps o_o

  • The dislike bar is like Justin Bieber's penis, it exists but we can't see it!

  • @janmarvinbeyer trololololo :P

  • @janmarvinbeyer Okay, thanks for the information ! Now, please let us who loves the "worst song ever" enjoy it without trolls...

  • @TheAliceIda I think he's being sarcastic lol

  • @janmarvinbeyer Same

  • @janmarvinbeyer Cool story bro... Now f*ck off and let us enjoy Mr Howard in peace.

  • well aint that somethin'

  • @Killerstench I'm not surprised to hear that from someone that subscribe to videos such as "How to get laid in your room"... you jealous nerd !

  • This is an amazing song! I've made a cover of it but its not as good as this. I'm very happy that theres guys like Ben who create great music like this one. He is a true inspiration

  • Loving how hes playing that guitar

  • Why is this video only showing my number of views..?

  • How can you dislike this? He's amazing!

  • Me da tantas ganas de vivir !!

    En un hombre con una alma tan pura :)

  • 11 people prefer their musicians less awesome

  • the percussion thing at the beginning is unbelievable, he makes it look effortless.

  • I much prefer to listen to Ben's live stuff, because I feel everyone of his songs needs a round of applause after it.

  • that is one talented man.

  • How does he play like that :o my jaw has just dropped, im fascinated :)

  • outstanding!!

  • I love him <3

    

  • pure genuisssssss

  • Except loving everything else in this video, I love the way Ben flicks the strings at 3:08 ^^

  • Those are the sweetest, most humble and most genuine smiles I have ever seen on the faces of two people as talented as them. 

  • oh my god. someone pack me in a box and move me to the UK. you have Ben Howard and Beirut. I love you guys.

  • Check out John Smith's tune 'Winter' for more unBEATable music!

  • Its like if newton faulkner and jose gonzalez had a musical love child and created something better than them both in ben howard, love it.

  • Simply amazing

  • When he started saying "lovely as you are..." I broke down. This is amazing.

  • 3 dislikes...even that is too much

  • does this technique to play guitar have a name?

  • @alexpsound Yeah. "awesome"

  • @alexpsound I believe it's called fingerstyle

  • as mumford and sons doing he's throwing himself into the folk music, in this song there's love, passion, strength. Give us more mate!!!

  • cant wait to see ben @ bristol february... this makes me itch with excitement

  • must.... know.....guitar tuning.....

  • Can't stop listening to this guy, fantastic :)

  • think i may have found my new favorite artist

  • He's so beautiful. Such talent.

    Makes me feel guilty for listening to generic "digitalized music" and thinking that was good.

    I'm sorry my ears. I will stop that.

  • his playing is incredible! how does this have so few views?!

    ben is an amazing musician and I love his work :)

  • i love you

    i met you on the tube, best day ever.
