[Alexandra0023p]

ONE PERSON, dislikes this? What the hell?

[eedobaba7726]

You're so modest, ha. Your playing is very complex and very well organized.

[JimuOP7]

OMG you deserve so much more views... Your music changes my life.

[CubbyCubbyCupcake]

lovethis song and video:) what is the fingerpicking pattern ?

[MacRC8D]

Thank you for being one of the few awesome musicians left in the worlwide musical scenario.

[BrocoliBeatsTurtle]

your music is inspiring and it is unlike everything else because it really does touch the soul :)

[IamTheScorchedEarth]

I can't tell you enough how much I relate to the story of The Roots. My family story is not exactly like that, but the feeling is the same. The weird mixture of happiness and misery, with a touch of death and love. That's life. And just like your music, life is beautiful.

[RacheRahel]

damn I love your music -3

[grumpybritishguy]

Your music is incredible, radical face and electric president are two of the best bands I have ever heard. I met your band mate matt at a bar in five points last year, really nice guy. Never been to one of your shows though, but keep it up my man.

[jlmo321]

Dude your amazing.!! Love your music. Pleas dont ever stop playing/writing etc.

[rachelnwonderland]

You do not look like I thought you looked AT ALL when I first heard your music. Anyway, I'm loving these tutorials. :)

[bmcaleri]

if somebody could tab this i would love them forever

[radicallemon]

does anyone know the picking pattern for the intro part? like what strings is he picking in what order?

[biphie]

@radicallemon You can find this at ultimate-guitar ;)

[radicallemon]

@biphie true thanks:)

[lemocanon]

It is really awesome how the artist himself makes a tutorial on how to play his own songs, too bad its also one of the few tutorials that don't teach me a lot.

You start out awesome with chords explaining and the hammer on, on newbie mode which is what I and most others need, but then you go into uber-fast fingerpicking mode. You lost me there O.o.

[ColdplayAreAwesomest]

God you're brilliant! I especially love 3:17 - 3:21. Excellent tutorial, learned 'welcome home' and loads more from you, you're an inspiration, an excellent guitarist and humble to the max! Thank you for being you!

[chriscampbell95]

i'm sorry but i felt i was following right up until you said "all together it sounds like this". you didnt really explain the finger picking :(

[Meridos257]

Whitch strings do you fingerpick?

[cosmocat09]

:)



[FlopsyDiggins]

I'm actually a lil bit starstruck :L

[dimeb135]

Currently learning this song for my girlfriend at the moment, and this tutorial has been a HUGE help. Thank you

[christinasmiless]

I love you, Ben. So much.

[dimeb135]

@christinasmiless Currently being learned for you. Thank you for the tutorial! :)

[reganKing1]

i have similar taste in flannos :)

[IanJax]

Your music is amazing...You have to come to Ireland and play at some festivals.

[abeaucha8]

You're an amazing songwriter and lyricist! I'm completely stunned every time I listen to Ghost and I can't put it down until I listen to it from start to finish. I can't wait for The Roots! Thanks for the tutorials!

[kyle7743]

Thank you so much for putting these up! It's very rare to come by an artist that recognizes how enthusiastic their fans are about playing their music AND reaches out to them to show them how. I've been playing guitar for about 2 years now, and it's always bothered me that I could never learn the minute details to songs that add so so much feeling to the music.

You're the best! And best of luck in your endeavors to produce without a label. You can do it!

[kbenjam100]

You say your not that good at guitar, but you truly are. I've been playing for 15+ years, and I could tell you maybe 5 chords by name. I don't know how to express how much your music has affected my own life. Just the fact that you've taken the time to show people, yourself, how to play your music, you've got to be the most humble person I've ever heard of. Electric President is awesome, but Radical Face is probably the most important musical project to come out of the last decade in my eyes.

[matthewkoz]

@kbenjam100 You're. Learn it.

[vacuumcleanertragedy]

Hehe. I had that wrong

[MarcusandtheTurkey]

You're the best. Words can't emphasize that.

[aflickeroflight82]

I'm practicing away!

[Sakkawokkkie]

Wow it's amazing that you actually take the time to teach your own songs. Thanks a lot man, appreciate it.

[IForgotMyName3]

You do not know how long I have been needing this! It's such a great help, thanks a lot man. Any tips on how to strum it clean without a pick? I can't seem to get it down that well.

[reganKing1]

@IForgotMyName3 , use the nails on 2 fingers on a down strum and your thumb nail on the up , thats how i do it clean , but i also am a terrible guitarist soo umm yeah good luck
