Ben Howard - Time Is Dancing (Tutorial)

[@fourthd1305]

I love your reaction in the beginning when you say the album is freaking great. Ben is just such a bloddy genius haha Thanks a bunch for the tutorial!

[@makinenandreas]

Hahah yeah, Ben sure is a bloddy genius! Thanks a lot!!

[@Project-Air]

Wow! looking forward to learning this one! Sounds so good.

[@makinenandreas]

Fun to hear! Good luck mate! :)

[@Project-Air]

finally got round to learning this one! just finished it. Thats so much dude.

[@makinenandreas]

great to hear! sorry for the bad quality, without tabs. bad sound and video... but great that you managed it!! :)

[@Project-Air]

+makinenandreas No it's fine mate! You don't need much to teach a song apart from being able to be a good teacher and you've got that. Thanks yeah it turned out to be pretty easy to get the hang of in the end. :) Got any plans for upcoming videos?

[@makinenandreas]

+JamesWhomsley glad to hear :) sadly no, I don't have any further plans. if I do some (I will, in due time) I think it will be clocks goes forward by James bay. sadly, I haven't got my guitar for the last month and will get it in the beginning of October. THEN I will make some more! :)

[@Project-Air]

Sounds great! I would like to be able to play that. Ah that sucks. Well, I'm looking forward to it :)

[@KieranAndHisGuitar]

[@makinenandreas]

Thanks a lot mate! :) Will go check it out right now! Will upload a cover myself tomorrow maybe :)

[@peripheralvinyl]

Thanks man, sounds great ✌🏻️

[@makinenandreas]

Thank you! 2 years ago but felt like ages... Haha!

[@arielkmusic]

You play so beautifully!

[@makinenandreas]

Well thank you very much!! :) Why don't you upload more covers?

[@arielkmusic]

I'm just not as comfortable with guitar as you clearly are. I am more confident in playing my own original songs. Do you write at all?

[@DomTheHammerMan]

George, I love everyone on the show and have been following since the beginning. In my opinion you should score every round as you see it. I wouldn’t mind seeing some blowout on Sparring Session

[@PoScaboose]

After listening to the Spotify live session (just Ben solo), you can hear the chorus more clearly. The way I play it, which sounds almost identical to him, uses the exact shapes your using but the picking pattern goes like this. 642 (slap) 612 (slap) over and over with the same chords. Sounds pretty good. You can even leave out that 2nd string at the end of it. Your version is totally fine, the way I mentioned just adds a little more to do with your strumming hand :) Cheers!

[@makinenandreas]

Holy mother of lord, had miss that version totally! Thanks for saying that, eventho I prefer the album version. Yes I can hear that now, so you are correct about that. BUT, I don't he plays it like than on the album. He usally plays some songs little bit different when he is playing solo to fill upp the sound a bit more. But yeah, thanks alot! :) Done any cover?

[@PoScaboose]

makinenandreas Yeah, I think you're definitely correct. I would love to do a cover, I just don't have anything to record with other than a webcam and an iPhone. Maybe one day :)

[@BanthamLegend]

Deckard C excuses, excuses. It's good to share!

[@samsoncollins4059]

That was a great tutorial, feeling accomplished today thank you.

[@kaverikarim]

Here's a video of Ben's acoustic version of the song: www.einslive.de/einslive/musik/stars-in-1live/videobenhowardakustischinlive104.html

[@makinenandreas]

Wow, thanks! Really, love that video! To bad I didn't see it until now. I noticed a small misstake by me :( And som variations i could have shown.. :( Thanks again!

[@GunsOotNunsOot]

Love this video mate! Really helpful! ;) Just subbed! Could I make a request,if you have the time, could you upload a vid of you playing the full song? Like on your cover video, because I love the guitar playing!!

[@makinenandreas]

Thanks a lot!! Glad you liked it! Sorry but I think I won't put up a video where I'll be playing the song as usual :/ And that's because I uploaded the cover witch is very similar so.. :/ But yeah, thanks again! :)

[@GunsOotNunsOot]

makinenandreas fair enough mate! You a fan of John Mayer? Would be awesome to cover one of his songs ;)

[@anetasekyrova2153]

Great tutorial! Thank you so much

[@Smileloudproject]

[@makinenandreas]

No worries! :)

[@lewisw1797]

Thanks a lot mate really helpful!

[@Suna1988be]

Great work as usual :-). In Dreams next? ;-)

[@makinenandreas]

Thaks alot! :) We'll se! Maybe River In Your Mouth, otherwise In Dreams ;)

[@catalina_acebal]

Thank you so much for this!

[@makinenandreas]

You're welcome! :)

[@gsacco15]

Thanks for posting man you good tutorial. I think think bens playing the 3rd string instead of the 2nd try the same thing just instead of holding down on the 2nd put our pointer finger on the 3rd. your other tutorials also helped alot you have the basic idea

[@makinenandreas]

Thanks! Have you tried it with the same tuning? Think that I tried it, but it doesn't sound so good :/

[@PoScaboose]

makinenandreas Yeah, it's definitely 2nd string.. hah :)

[@roamwithken]

please make more tutorials!

[@makinenandreas]

I'll try to! have much to do in school and so one, but can almost promise one before Christmas!

[@robinandned3151]

what's the easiest way to tune the strings to these notes? I onl have eadgbe on my guitar tuner :(

[@makinenandreas]

Hi John! Even though I don't know what tuner you have, I'm 90% sure that it's a setting you need to change. I think all of the tuners I've owned have 2 modes. One where all the notes show on all of the strings, and one where the tuner will feel which string it is, and show you how much it's left until you reach the standard tuning. Google (or check manual), and if you can't make it - I recommend to buy a new tuner! :)

[@robinandned3151]

makinenandreas thanks I will try that mate

[@7sevens]

Thank you good person

[@jackward5204]

You need to flip your tuning. It's the same notes just the opposite way. If you watch the iTunes festival performance of this song he's playing the g string but the notes are the same ones as the b string.

[@makinenandreas]

Sounds like that could work. I thought that I read the tuning right but, I'll try that later and se how it sounds...

[@beth1107]

Great tutorial! Thank you!! Do you think you could post a tab for this? :)

[@makinenandreas]

John & Beth Cook Thanks mate! Sadly, i can't..Well i can, but i have to re-wrote it since i was stupid enough to delete it after the video :(

[@rimalot1043]

Well done! :D

[@makinenandreas]

Thanks! Feels like it was ages ago.... :)

[@rimalot1043]

Still great ;D

[@davidhenricson205]

Sverigeeeee!!!

[@makinenandreas]

Jajemen!!

[@jordanmontgomery169]

On the bridge when you slide down to the 15 I think you should play the 14 on second string. Thanks for the tutorial

[@makinenandreas]

It's sounds to low if your asking me. I'm not saying that I have a good ear but...

[@sroeseler13]

Do you have the tab done yet?

[@makinenandreas]

Hi! Sorry but I never did a tab for this. I planned to, but didn't find the time and now it's such a long time ago and kind of pass my interest to do guitar-tutorial. But thank you for reaching out!

[@sroeseler13]

No problem. This tutorial is spot on, without you I wouldn't be able to learn it!

[@robwalmsley1503]

Is there a tab any where?

[@makinenandreas]

sadly, no. I said for a long time that I was going to upload it (have to remake them then), but I forgot, and now I'm swapped with stuff.. :/

[@Suna1988be]

And yeah, rivers would be great also. As for this song, i think you have it about 95% correct. The only remark that i have is when you play the bridge part and go to the 15th & 12th fret, the 12th sounds a bit low compared to live versions. i don't think he plays the 2nd fret there. i checked the itunes video. Can't see what he really plays though :p

[@PoScaboose]

15th and 14th fret sounds right on that part.

[@makinenandreas]

I think I got the verse right on River, but I'll work on that. Yeah we share the same thoughts there. It was on those two notes I wasn't sure. I think I say it in the video about the 2nd fret, that I don't think it's Ben whos accutally plays there. Thanks again!

[@anas1832]

He slides from between the frets instead of plucking them

[@h4r4]

anyone got a tab?

[@makinenandreas]

Sorry but no :/ I will make one soon!

[@h4r4]

no problem i will work it out, great video!

[@BerniceGD]

hi, great tutorial, thanks! by the way, you're really cute ;x

[@makinenandreas]

Hello there! Well thank you very much!! :))
