How To Play "Black Flies" By Ben Howard (guitar lesson / tutorial)

[@jimmyyungg7329]

Raphi Z, 9 years later after i first found you on youtube and we're both so much older now and the world is crazy, but guess what, you're still teaching me to this day, i just came back to your channel to learn this one. It's amazing how much you helped me practice and encouraged me with covering and teaching some of my favourite songs. Thank you so much....

[@jeremymacdonald5584]

thanks for doing this. Great job at explaining the song too

[@andrewday338]

i wish i would’ve saw this before sitting for half a hour

[@BigBossZUCO]

What should I do if my capo covers all the strings?

[@pgulov]

Only 5 strings capo

[@blvkbirdx3327]

How do you tune to CFCGGC ?

[@castroadalit3792]

That’s for the great tutorial, heard this song was going to be in the “farewell” episode of the life is strange prequel so I decided to learn it.

[@bySneckDraw]

I just purchased my first guitar, this was the first song i really tried to understand and i'm grateful i had a great tutorial to follow from, thank you so much! When Ben's album is out please be sure to release the tutorials because i'm sure we'll all be waiting eagerly

[@mohsinekabbouchi6394]

dude the album is been out for ages now

[@bySneckDraw]

The new album not the old one, both are out now

[@Arcadiabaeliv]

“Were always max and chloe“😔😔

[@julka474]

I didn't expect that so recent comment 👀

Great tutorial mate, can never find decent tabs for Ben Howard. Learnt a fair few of his songs watching your vids. Keep up the good work!

[@brianlove6953]

Nice! Thank you kindly. I cannot wait to learn this song. It was the first BH song I heard and he is such a beautiful soul. 🙏☀️💚🥰✨✊️

[@WiciuSJ]

Oh, Man! You're an incredibly good teacher! :) Thanks to You now I can play almost the whole song. Thank You so much, mate!

[@boxingforfitness1221]

I didn't even have to see the whole thing. You looked like you knew what you were doing from the very beginning. I liked, and subscribed.

[@DarkIltis]

Beautiful lesson. Thank You. The only issue i had was losing context. After you spend some minutes focussing on the detail of a certain part, it helps to hear it as a complete segment sometimes.

[@alejobasilio]

hi Raph , here from Argentina.. genius crack. im not very good at intros but you explain so good and clare.. thanks... i will practice, is a really goldsong. i hope you are fine, and wish you the best.. best regards!!

[@jechusalex8987]

Thanks for the tutorial!!! The best song ever!!!!

[@alby27885]

Excellent mate!! Every tutorial better than the last. Thanks for taking the time. Keep em coming!!

[@Raven2702]

Well then thank you very much! I hope you could learn the song! I might do that in future tutorials. Let's see :) (At least I did in "Oats in the waters" :))

[@ThePlugga44]

thanks again raphi, this is now song number five in the bag:)

[@Raven2702]

Great! :) Keep on learning!

[@MrIshizu]

Dude, you got some big talent in instructing. I bet the "most untalented No-talent" could follow your tutorial. Please keep up the good work and keep spreading some inspiration in every person's mind! I honor and thank you.

[@DarkIltis]

Oh don't worry :) Its not really a problem to follow, just that when you spend a few minutes with a few notes, then one can easily forget where he was at. However, its not possible to create one video for all kinds of learners. And i think you did a very good job doing one that even a beginner can understand and work with!

[@2727BROOKLYN]

your a great teacher thank you so much

[@lou872]

Thanks for teaching this song!! Great job!! I would have never figured out the capo and tuning...

[@tomfletcher4826]

could you please do a tutorial on the fire

[@emacliftsalot]

It's not that the tutorial is bad but that the song is music theory intensive and unique...

[@jeremyisack9518]

I thought this tutorial was very good and it sounds amazing on my classical!

[@AlphaZone100]

Great tutorial!

[@teslatitan2167]

really good tutorial (love the guitar too)

[@davedodd6495]

Nice work man !

[@josepduran2707]

good work man, nice video!

[@Raven2702]

If I was a bit too fast for you I'm sorry. CFCGGc is not that difficult to tune in. Tune down every String except the third one wich is already tuned to G in standard tuning. I bet you have a tuner so it shouldn't be too hard to tune in. I hope you're still enjoying my tutorials, contact me if there are any further problems! :)

[@brimcmahan6825]

how far do you tune them down

[@ninal.2220]

Please tell me how you tune it in

[@satkahn8406]

Thanks for making these man

[@BobbieT646]

great tutorial, thanks for the help!

[@kimmysami3584]

thank you so much for this!!

[@thebuzz2010]

this is great, thanks.

[@TLopesz]

Thank You so much!!

[@diogogois2722]

What is the brand of that capo? And where can I find it?

[@edwardhookway3312]

Please do one for GAMES IN THE DARK! Thank you

[@macia55555]

You are genius. Thanks so much :)

[@KTMSparky]

Realistically how long before you can play this song? I am on my 3rd lesson never touched a guitar before now but this is my goal 😂

[@Raven2702]

Depending on how fast you learn and how much effort you put into it. I'd guess about 2-3 months if you're putting some effort in :)

[@soraOOOOOO]

Thank you sooo much ! :D

[@giulimusicmary]

thanks so much :)

[@blvkbirdx3327]

How do you tune to CFCGGC ?

[@Raven2702]

Tune down every string except the G-string.

[@easte36]

what kind of wood is your guitar?

[@kingy007z]

Beautiful guitar, what model is that man?

[@Raven2702]

Thanks, it's a Taylor 514CE L-10 fall 2005 special edition

[@Octavio12341000]

What's the price bro

[@cedonboard57]

Hello ! Did you adjust the reinforcement bar with this open chord agreement? My new 414 taylor has no sound projection when I hit the guitar side string...

[@thegeneratorgamer]

Another excellent lesson man! Can you do a tutorial of Move Like You Want? :)

[@SteFFGaming]

thanks:)

[@NoNameJ1622]

when I’m doing the stemming part my low E string over powers everything and it doesn’t sound right also I’m 100% sure everything is tuned right, please help

[@NoNameJ1622]

I figured it out ;)

[@Raven2702]

Ah, I see. Usually I let the strings ring but obviously in this tutorial I don't, I'm sorry!

[@shearer9126]

Hi there do u have strumming chords please for this tune, cheers Alan.

[@alexkarpovets663]

CFCGGC?

[@DarkIltis]

Ps.: You might want to start your tutorial(s) with playing the song, or at least one verse, pre and chorus, before launching off into explanations.

[@brianlove6953]

Terence Stamp he was attempting to help him. Some people want to hear what they are about to be taught first. Many people will do tutorials and change the song or play an easier version.

[@Raven2702]

Hey, I'm sorry you had problems to follow. Could you give me an example where you did get confused?

[@reallyc00lgamer]

im confused on the strumming or plucking

[@asoulscondition7466]

haha I'm a beginner and I just broke a g string trying to tune 😅

[@asoulscondition7466]

it was in e from another song and I went up instead of down ha

[@watfordeire]

further away!!

[@Paramnd]

You can play it with normal tuning and a capo on first fret aswell

[@ninal.6795]

Wie stimmt man die Gitarre, dass sie so klingt?

[@Raven2702]

Alle Saiten (außer die G-Saite) runterstimmen. E>C, A>F, D>C, G (Wie im Standard), H>G, E>C. Hoffe das hilft

[@ninal.6795]

@@Raven2702 Okay, vielen Dank für die schnelle Antwort!

[@DelScully]

this lesson is so hard to follow, your back in forth entirely between two different versions and dont decipher which ones are which all the time. Also the explanations are pretty blank. Not a great tutorial in my opinion sorry.

[@DelScully]

+DelScully thanks for teaching me it tho haha, it just took a lot longer to learn it then it should have!

[@TheGaarakiba]

yeah i think he should just stick to one version, it'd be so much easier xp

[@loonamesa4753]

I often see tutorials when the don't tell you witch fret to play on the just do it and expect you to know. I think he did a great job with this tutorial.

[@fairal123]

it's not cfcggc!
