  • hammaaa geil, was der mit der gitarre anstellt <3

  • The tuning is CGCGGC with a capo on the top 4 strings if anyone was wondering

  • @geckosquish Thanks I was wondering.

  • @geckosquish actually the lowest note hit is an A sharp which would make the tuning something like A#FA#FFA# with capo on the 3rd fret on the four highest strings :P

  • Amazing live seen him in newcastle less than a week ago :) going to see him again ASAP :)

  • @flykai93 i dont think you can learn i tjink he just has it in him but you can try your gonna need someone good to teach you

  • @fanesse997 my cousin can do it, practised himself didn't need any teaching (he could already play bass, acoustic and electric) you've jsut gotta give it a go and practise it i reckon

  • I LOVE HIM.

  • how does he play like that. i really wanna learn :O

  • Tags: Genius!!

  • cashing cheques with those bills

  • This man is a genius... END OF STORY

  • hahaha i'd love to see someone attempt to cover this

  • this is a nice song! but it's not technical at all if you know what is open tunning ^^ newton faulkner or john butler are better for sure but who care?

    The only two similar things about those three artist

    first: they use open tunning

    two: they play guitar to share their emotions and not being technical

    their is a lot of better guitarist than them all over the world but they can't make people feel strong things like those three! and that's all about art.The rest is pure masturbation of fan

  • @CapitaineBuisson Erik Mongrain is a technically brilliant guitarist.

  • @CapitaineBuisson did you know that this dude is blind

    

  • @CapitaineBuisson i would beg to differ, they are extremely talented guitarists and also i find ben howard to be at least on par with newton faulkner and john butler.

  • @CapitaineBuisson That's a good point well made, but I can't help but think that you've forgotten the amount of natural talent and fundamental practice it takes to even begin to learn to play a guitar at any standard and then singing along in time, as it goes against you're own mental rhythm. Needless to say, what Ben demonstrates here, apart from a devoted dedication for his chosen instrument, is a phenomenal showcase of brilliant lyrics teamed with natural rhythm and technique. Back off x

  • @CapitaineBuisson the truth is that you dont judge an artist on how good they are compared to other musicains but judge them on how they make the listener feel. listen and enjoy or dont, its up to you, either way il still be hear enjoying his music

  • @CapitaineBuisson ben howard doesnt always use open tuning

  • He went to my school and is coming in soon!!! so excited coz he is awesome!!

  • 7 guitars are broke.

  • Wow! What a talent!!

  • the way he plays guitar in this song just makes me jizz continuously for 4:33!!!!!!!!

  • amazing song !

  • only real men can multitask ;)

  • Depth over distance - Andrew Welford (ben howard cover)

  • anyone got any ideas on the tuning because i have no clue

    

  • @aymanfree should be open C minor (CGCD#GC)

  • @annismusic thats what i thought but i tuned it to that an it seems very wrong

  • @aymanfree see, I've just checked again and if you put the full capo on 3rd fret it's actually right, I think.

  • @annismusic oh i thought that capo was on the 4th fret as it is on his guitar

  • @aymanfree mmh.. go ahead and watch this one: "Ben Howard - Empty Corridors. Live @ Eurosonic-Noorderslag 2011" .. then tune the upper 4 strings to CGCD# and leave B and E as usual.. then put the capo 4th fret on the upper 4 strings.. haha sorry for the confusion.

  • It's a fucking TRIALS bike Danny MacAskill rides not a bmx. bmx has small wheels.

  • Ben's yummy.

  • catchy as hell. tune.

  • Still my favourite track of yours, boyo.

  • Hes like a non-ginger version of Ed Sheeran! <3 them both!!! XD!!!

  • @TheAlicejade they're totally different musicians...but yes, they're both fantastic

  • @TheAlicejade He's nothing at all like Ed Sheeran! Haha.

    But yes, both great musicians. I'm swung more towards Ben though, I prefer mystical acoustic stuff most of the time.

  • Yet another mind blowing performance. Some serious talent.

  • if you like ben howard, you'll probably like max garcía conover - smart and heartfelt poems tied around a fingerpicked guitar.  search for him.

  • amazing voice and singing...full of emotions, not typical like most singers... hmm u agree with me ?! :)

  • I guess this is what love is :D x

  • so talented..

  • If you like this ad the way he plays seems strange to you, you should definitely check "Air Tap!" by David Mongraine out!

  • love this

  • what a insperation.

  • amazing, can't wait to see him in October! 

  • he's makin' love to his guitar!

  • gifted, talented and amazin are still nowhere near what ben howard is!!! :-)

  • to the @TheUndiscoverdNinjas. You've been discovered as a douchebag! I suppose you would rather listen to GaGa or Justin Bieber!? What a douche!

  • Skills

  • waw.

  • i fucking seriously dont get how someone litterally could dislike this i mean it how the fuck ??

  • @TheUndiscoverdNinjas Because lady gaga is better, obviously.

  • @TheUndiscoverdNinjas Each to their own, while I enjoy it I could see why some people would find it boring or typical. It's not the most unique piece of music to come out this year.

  • Hes amazingg x

  • he is sick! talent!

  • Absolutely incredible.

  • Need to find the lyrics, this is beautiful !

  • @HowzieX9X If you like this guy, you'll like Erik Mongrain..

  • @JesusGeezza Check out Ben Konstantivo

  • this is good

  • I like

  • saw him twice supporting Xavier Rudd...nice lady playing with him too who was very foxy !

  • SO stoked i figured out how to play this!! xD

  • Only Newton Faulkner could challenge this man's guitaring abilities!!!! This is amazing, I love Ben Howard!

  • @Ellen594 Id LOVE to see them play together. It'd be interesting to watch...

  • @TheRobboNobbo It would be epic! Their voices are so different but I think it would work so well! I tell you what if they ever do a song together in the future it was our idea first!!

  • @Ellen594 Go check out John Butler ;)

  • @falconer333 God he's just like newton faulkner, music style is a little different but he's awesome!

  • @Ellen594 You obviously haven't heard Jon Gomm then.

    /watch?v=Cie4FvPlr78&list=FLwh­bLWtuSi3YQECe_nQbo-Q&index=16

  • @intersweat he is very very talented but a bit dull... this guy is dead good

    youtube elliot morris - a matter of time

  • @Ellen594 Ooops.. meant to thumbs up your comment and hit the thumbs down by accident and I can't seem to reverse it. Checking your favs I can see you've a great taste in music. I think you should check out some of Preston Reed's stuff as he seems, from my research anyway, to have been very influential in this genre. Thanks for introducing me to Elliot.

  • @intersweat aww bless its okay! I like a lot of different stuff but I'll always come back to all things acoustic. Your favourites aren't bad either! Love the Bon Iver! No problem I just came across him at a festival I was at and he was really skilled on a guitar so I was impressed.

  • @Ellen594 This guy is good and I know what your saying about Newton Faulkner, but there are others who are just as good if not better check them on you tube.

    Andy Mckee

    Micheal Hedges

    Naudo <--- this guy is probably the best guitar player I've heard.

  • @Ellen594 You should check out Andy Mckee :)

  • @electroCMWM Yeah andy mckee is annoyingly good!

  • @Ellen594 dont forget bout the master that is john butler! he pretty much started all this

  • @Ellen594 bens better

  • @Ellen594 are you insane! ben howard is brilliant! amazing lyrics and guitar! newton faulkner??? try looking up a man called john butler!

  • @Ellen594 check this guitarist out: watch?v=rbw3Bd542k8

  • @Ellen594 Try checking out someone called John Butler - Ocean (song) truly a great player you might like.

  • @Ellen594 you understand that this is just percussion, the guitar playing is the same chord the whole way through, with the odd note played with his right which is barely noticable... you clearly have no idea about guitar playing. newton faulkner is a far superior guitarist

  • @Ellen594 That's a massively bold statement! It's also massively wrong. John Butler plays the same style with a 12 string guitar. Also, there are plenty of legendary guitarists who could blow him away, Zak wyld for one. Don't get me wrong, I'm a massive Ben Howard fan, I just gotta put you straight there. Check out John Butlers song ocean. and zack wyld T.A.Z. It'll blow your mind!

  • @Ellen594 You obviously haven't heard of John Butler. As good as Ben and Newton are, they can't touch "Ocean".

  • 6 guitars disliked this..

  • i'm so in love!

  • man thats amazing how you do that on the guitar!

  • ben howard skilled or what ...

    

  • i must say you are pretty dammmmm awsome!!!

  • hope this tune is on the new album!! looking forward to ground swell

  • amazing voice. seems like an all round cool person

  • @jpmartinods Erik Mongrain plays a very similar type of style. called lap tapping. check a tune called Air Tap and fusion! hope you enjoy!

  • Erik Mongrain plays the same style 'ish' called lap tapping!

  • Your voice is so amazing!!

    i could listen to your music everydaay :)

    keep up the good work mate :)

  • @winona56 hahaha WINONA!!!!!!
