Biffy Clyro - How to play Many Of Horror

[@StefKidd]

He's a good teacher, I'm impressed. He keeps things nice and simple and clearly explains what he is doing. Not something I see often in guitar tutorials.

[@claretravels783]

I don't even have a guitar with me right now, this is just so relaxing to watch...the pretty guitar sounds, the close up details of Simon's hand tattoos, the soothing Scottish accent...this is like some ASMR shit. Like a bob ross paint-along video. Totally makes me wanna learn this too

[@TENACize]

Wanted to learn a Biffy Clyro song. Wasn't expecting to learn directly from Simon, though. Thanks!

[@maurodeluca94]

BBC should try to do more of these kind of tutorials with other musician they get in!

[@jonathonbod5721]

if they did id watch n get tv liecence .first would be a Tv

[@Jgf802]

Unfortunately not many musicians in the industry, can play instruments these days, all the talent seems to be working jobs these days while mumble rap is a thing

[@elgaboramone]

i just can't imagine the moment that he said "guys, I have a new song" and played at first this beautiful anthem

[@EdwardCotty]

Its not every artist that takes the time to share their music let alone with such patience.. Well done Simon. :D Monthebiff

[@micktmusic]

Will always be one of my favourite bands. Very accomplished musicians but so humble with it all. The fact that he played violin absolutely blew me away.

[@LukeTaylorOfficial]

What a legend Simon is. Top bloke.

[@SAM_DIEGO_MUSIC]

As an advanced player i can truly say this is a very good lesson, so laid back and open. really enjoyed watching it, cant wait to play it.

[@bobbynewmarkiii]

Superb video. BBC should do more of this - remit to educate and all... Awesome of Biffy Clyro to be so generous.

[@KM-302]

One of the most individual musicians and bands of the last 20 years. Endearing teacher too.

[@Garla2011]

One of the greatest songs written taught by the man himself! This guy has just become a legend in my book! I love this song, I love playing guitar and I love everything about what this video represents! Big up radio 1 for bringing this to us and big up Simon also for doing. AWSOME!

[@karlbluesguitar941]

agree.. unreal

[@JonoLFC]

Not many celebs should be looked up to. Simon is definitely an exception. Such a legend.

[@daniellaeidehall50]

he's so genuine i love it. great musician, great tutorial, great man

[@windjunkiehippy]

Already knew most of it, but Simon filled some of the trickier bits that I just couldn't get my head round. Cheers Simon and the Radio One person for posting.

[@AGMKelly]

This made me cry tears of love

[@endlessfields347]

THE ACCENT. God, what a glorious man.

[@ablinil]

Just discovered this beautiful gem. There is something very special about this one. Tears every time.

[@Pokerface-tr1ds]

This is what I always say: you want to learn how to play a song the way it's meant to be played? Then learn from the Maestro himself! Thank you Simon! Thanks to you I now know what I did wrong and now I can play the song with my Coverband! Love you Bro and greetings from Germany!

[@dalematthews4933]

Well I just learnt more in twenty minutes than I have in the last twelve months. Brilliant tutorial thank you.

[@bluemarcus2076]

What a lovely thing to do. Spend some time to teach fans how to play one of your songs.

[@jude2726]

I could listen to him talk forever.

[@ciara4390]

So good having Simon to teach you! I already knew it but it was a different version and obviously this is the correct way to play it and had fun learning it! Thanks Simon! xx

[@christianwilhelm6671]

This song means so much to me, I've devoted it to my mother. And as the lyrics would suggest we aren't the best of friends. I made a promise to myself to learn it, thank you for this man.

[@awsomeal100]

Genuine and generous.....Both the man and the lesson.Rock on Biffy Clyro.Great Song.

[@IrishPele]

yup my thoughts exactly, refreshing to see this kind of vid

[@captaincook777]

Absolutely genius coming up with chords like this. This is the song that's written by a true artist. I can't stop listening to every single part! Absolutely wonderful.

[@captaincook777]

Thank you for sharing how to play!!

[@biffyclyrosongs4120]

3:52 I only time stamped this so I can listen to it on loop forever! Gorgeous and beautiful Si!

[@gavinhiggs8636]

This is priceless to fans 😁 there is nothing better than getting instruction straight from the source. Makes the music all the more enjoyable 👍🏼👍🏼

[@93Teresa]

all the possible tutorials for this song on youtube have just become useless

[@ilustrado7291]

Precisely.

[@TEKTONIX1]

I know! I think it’s great he shared this with us. More artists should do this.

[@JackLively]

Brad Delson showed how to play the solo on 'A Line In The Sand', though it's nowhere near as detailed as this.

[@andrewschultz2305]

I actually found it easier to play in standard tuning.

[@dusankosik4363]

Same goes for the comma in that sentence.

[@forwardtumble]

Sitting here quarantined, just absorbing and loving all things Biffy! This is excellent stuffs. Mon the Biff!!

[@Zaynite]

Stay safe!

[@mysteryedgar510]

were stranded in newzealand, locked down here, and ive been on a biffy-a-thon since listening to the live friday vids, i knew i liked them, just didnt know i liked their music this much

[@voguerogue2390]

All of a sudden, I feel like picking up my guitar that's in the corner of my room. I love Simon !!!

[@Boomblast57]

Genuinely would love to have more vids of him teaching Biffy songs x nobody seams of be able to show all the tiny details like the man who actually wrote these beautiful songs x

[@itistime467]

I met Simon at a Manchester Orchestra gig in Glasgow and can honestly say he's a great lad. Very humble and generous.

[@jadree]

Best guitar tutorial vid ever.

[@matrich1983]

Such a nice bloke!!! Think him and dave grohl are having a who can be the nicest kick ass rockstar competition!! Hats off!!!!

[@thisacousticguy]

More of this please! I love artists taking the time to teach people. 😀

[@philipbeadling7170]

I rarely sign in for shite like this... but such patience, and willingness to share what is an awesome lick. I top my hat to you sir. Magic, both in the the lick and the video - people like you make the next generation of guitarists... and keep wee old ones lie me alive :-)

[@themattcurtis]

This is so perfect! Very informative and so intimate to have Simon himself doing it! Please do more of these videos, big fan :)

[@atblayney20]

I learnt this song long ago, I just love me a bit of Simon

[@StoneChief117]

This is magic.. Even if I got my own story connected with this song, and if I'm listening to it in an completely other situation, I'm stunned! Thank you for keeping this feelings alive in my mind!

[@baldywrights]

Biffy Clyro, Awesome...thanks. Simon is Brilliant.

[@OfficialDawnify]

Simon has the most beautiful hands I've ever seen. Such big and straightened fingers, damn

[@marcuscorreia4958]

What a guitar lesson!!! I am stoaked. Thank you so much!!!

[@t-roymaguire7873]

Amazing...so good...I wish every artist took as much time and care for his fans...and the little soon to be fans 🤟😊🇦🇺

[@shikarifox4337]

Even played acoustic the whoa section gives me chills.

[@AlanaPutnam]

Who better to teach the song than Simon from Biffy Clyro!!! Love it!!!

[@robertnawrocki1905]

this is all anyone looking to learn the songs as accurately as possible coul ask for, was waiting for stuff like this to come out

[@katieevans7935]

Simons actually pretty good at teaching how to play the guitar👌

[@Scrumps0]

@Mr Lesir Definitely, there's a difference between being good at something and being good at communicating it

[@TPD]

NO SHIT

Simon Neil is a completely different guy on stage!! Radio 1 need to upload more stuff like this. Now i officially know how to play many of horror by biffy clyro. T IN THE PARK WILL BE AWESOME!! MON THE BIFF

[@matteathomas-gray8506]

So so excited for T in the park now!!

[@stevecool7166]

absolutely top bloke. great tutor too

[@Randothol]

A true inspiration. Mon the Biff!!!!!!

[@deankos3309]

This literally gave me chills, awesome.......Currently learning to play ‘space’...... and now I’ve seen this I’m def doing this next, especially when it’s Simon teaching me 👍👍 what a fantastic sound and a great opportunity to learn from the actual person that wrote it instead of a ‘not quite rite’ variant .... radio one nailed it with this.... must do more 👍👍 thank you

[@patricklanders5145]

Brilliant song and very unique to hear how the songwriter wrote it. Thanks

[@ChrisR_68]

I love Biffy Clyro x

[@elliotjg]

Wow this is a bit sophisticated for Radio 1

[@livicollins4378]

What we were all thinking ^^

[@jcsydney4763]

Love the song . Thanks for the time to show everyone how to play it. Cheers from 🇦🇺 Australia !!

[@gravityfreaksmusic]

This feels so good to play! Great song, fond memories, superb band. 10/10 :)

[@kojo1000]

This is so cool, a tutorial straight from the artist! Mon the Biff ! :)

[@topgungoose90]

Mon the Biff! This was an amazing tutorial. I wanna learn how to play this so bad. Thank you for showing me how Simon!

[@tomfoley8563]

What an absolute legend

[@alvh4198]

Not since the Skwisgaar Skwigelf "Duncan Hills Coffee Jingle" solo tutorial have I been so entertained by learning guitar

[@doctortricky]

:) "Put that finger on if you want" I love the way he slips that sentence in there.

[@dolanbrumby546]

A beautiful song taught by a beautiful human being ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@paultimlin2310]

Cheers Simon. Fantastic song and a very generous tutorial

[@benmckinlay1902]

The full play-through of the song with the close up of the fretboard at the end of the video is probably way more useful than the actual lesson for anyone more than a complete beginner at guitar

[@gianca9118]

The best guitar lesson ever!

[@alexcurle4539]

well he DID write it

[@tomsaunders123]

I don't play the guitar and I'm not a fan of Biffy Clryo but this video is fantastic. Need to do more stuff like this.

[@domhartley7608]

Someone make this a regular feature!

[@myadventuresintoroblox4225]

whether you want it or not! simon you rebel!

Thank you so much for sharing your great tutorial 🎸🎵🎶

[@eddiesell8577]

A great tutorial, Simon seems so humble.

[@pagesofDawn]

This is fantastic, what a brilliant idea. Nice one

[@eriknjoo]

Thanks for doing this six months after I spent weeks figuring out how to play it by myself till my ears bled haha.

[@nbpersonal]

That moment at 3:52 .. Simon Neil is simply the best songwriter!! Period

[@georgeclarkmusic]

He starts the whole song at 12:41 :)

[@callumjones9207]

Wow, I love this band. Why don't more bands do this? I would watch these videos all the time.

[@popperbare1563]

Shit I just fell in love with Simon all over again

[@sylvionoel]

Thank you for that great clip. Your the best Simon!

[@seasideshutterworx]

How awesome is this!

[@Tiffers963Hz]

No mention that the original song is actually played a semi-tone down from what he's showing you. Great tutorial otherwise, but for you guys leaning this, you'll have to transpose the shapes down half a step when you play it along to the song to nail it (as you should always do religiously when learning any song.) Have fun.

[@zumabilla]

Has he done this because he's playing it on acoustic guitar or to make it easier for people to learn?

[@tluangteapachuau6769]

Thanks Simon. :)

[@Intrapxrsonal]

I kinda play guitar but my fingers aren't that agile to play this, so I'm basically just watching this because of Simon. Mon The Biff!

[@madsl88]

What a great guy, I think I never saw an artist teaching is own song.

[@stevenhassall3165]

Awesome.bbc should do a series of these lessons from the bands

[@lakeblin]

Thank you so much for this! It is perfect.

[@GerardoSanchezRo]

Bravooo!!!! Bravoooo!!! Standing ovation!!!

[@zohmingipachuau2915]

one of the best guitar tutorial

[@jaqb17]

wow. he's great guitar teacher :)

[@RichieMuse]

This is Awesome. Some tabs are always different to how they actually play it, i prefer to play the way they (the Artist) play it. I only like the hard work of working out new songs but older songs; a quick video like this will have it done in no time.

[@robertryan2102]

Absolutely fantastic. Loved every second of that & hope to try this. Tk you so much. 👏 What a cool dude Simon is.

[@FakJackley]

I've been watching so many tutorials trying to learn this and somehow didn't come across this video... no wonder the best teacher is the guy that fucking wrote it!

[@jarlebeinnesfredriksen929]

I learned it by ear. Works well playing it in standard tuning aswell :) Sounds the same.

[@oliviajazwick2356]

He makes it look so natural and easy
