How To Play Further Away By Ben Howard - Guitar Lesson Tutorial

[@cxrtkid]

I remember watching your tutorials when I was a beginner and here I am again over 10 years later! Thank you!

[@GarethEvansYT]

if just 1 person learns this song using this tutorial then it'll be worth it (and i'll be surprized) part 2 will come tomorrow (saturday) at the latest i promise. Hopefully tonight if i get some editing done

[@flairfilmsUK]

I learnt it well from this - got it pretty much down now after over a year of on/off practice. Thanks for an amazing tutorial.

[@nathanl.]

You're seriously a legend!! Every song I love, you come up time and time again when I search for tutorials on them! really appreciate it!

[@MartiniBlankontherest]

This song meant the world to me at a time when i could do no right and tragedy kept getting drawn out. I just picked up the guitar in december. Will be back to learn from this video some day. This is so far beyond me, but ye. This would be a milestone

[@AzurePineappl]

First found this video when I first started playing guitar at about 15. Always been my favourite Ben Howard song. After nearly 10 years playing on and off - mostly off, I've finally got it down in just a few days. Second full song I've ever learned thanks to this tutorial. Glad my fingers have developed a bit!

[@kris130186]

pretty cool that you do this for free and out of your own time to help others. Hats off to you sir.

[@NEWSROOM15]

ben howard would be proud! thanks dude

[@Adamskaj]

Awesome tutorial man, it's a tough song but I found it easy enough to learn and I'm below average at guitar. A tutorial for Promise would be awesome !

[@Dvermoet]

eventhough i am 100% sure i won't be able to play this for quite a while i still enjoy it so much that you made this tutorial (: it's great to have your tutorials from songs of one of my favorite artists (: Just, Thank You!

[@WiciuSJ]

Thank You so much for the whole tutorial, Gareth! It helped me a lot and now I can almost play the entire song! It's amazing, mate! Cheers from Poland. :))

[@thejoshinator48]

[@GrygorMusic]

[@anitamazkoori5346]

[@Sonik23]

[@TheBoland101]

Absolutely brilliant tutorial, I can now play this song and it's thanks to you :) Great job, you're a solid instructor and very easy to follow, keep 'em coming mate!

[@aylafiala]

thank you so much! i was trying to learn this by ear/ tabs but it was confusing. this really helped.

[@sampotts8562]

Turn your capo upside down, then shove some paper in-between the strings.. worked for me. Thanks for tutorial!

[@sampotts8562]

Well I guess it would help if I could send a picture but basically turn your capo upside down so that the grip only holds down the 3-4 strings, then put some card in-between the strings and the grip to push them further down. You'll figure out a way, I never bought the banjo capo but I'm a cheapo.

[@SeargentConrad]

Sam Potts thanks man this really helped!

[@cakedog2608]

Dude you're just awesome

[@ajlong1992]

[@Tbak2000]

[@lukebutler659]

Great tutorials i watched all three and can play the song finally!! All your tutorials are great however could you maybe do a little tutorial on how to do the last part that Ben plays when he is playing on the fountain? The hammer on and pull offs i can not find the right notes it would be really appreciated and once again amazing job!

[@OwenWilliams1]

Absolute Quality!

[@jl262128]

thanks for another a great tutorial!

[@chrislenear1453]

Thanks for help with all of my favorite songs. Any chance you could do some tutorials on City and Colour, like what makes a man?

[@AlexSuperTramp-]

Thank you very much Gareth

[@EDITSbyVELOCITY]

if you play the A (4th freth bottom string) with your thumb it helps when you reach across to the harmonics on the 7th fret:D

[@andreikeda]

Thanks much! Trying to learn this one

[@rasulturganov3421]

[@oscarapplegate8053]

[@sandville]

Hi, so a good job, please, do you know wich tuning for the song "PROMISE" ?? it would be fantastic to have one tutorial !

[@inhumandestroyer]

Hey guys, I can fully play this song and well pretty much most ben howard songs (huge fan) but I was curious as to whether anyone could give me a rough guess on what grade many of his songs are such as this, old pine, only love, esmerelda ect ect... Thanks :)

[@jonathankawik]

thank you so much!!!!!

[@shashankmail86]

hey i am going to learn that too.... but looks like very tough

[@justartistic]

Please do only love, and thanks for this your a legend :)

[@8nc21]

THANK YOU!!!!

[@Risque1989]

If you can nail Under The Same Sun i don't even know what I'll do ha. But this is sick thanks dude

[@JamesVeitch97]

Hi can you please upload a tutorial for Everything. I would really appreciate that :D thanks!

[@marcinosos]

@Gareth_Evans I have a question, the part which starts at 0:33 seems quite different than supposely the same part which starts at 0:39, but there is a clear distinction in sound which I can't figure it out and it is not a part of a video number 2.. please anyone can explain this to me? I already learned whole song but can't play this part at 0;33 correctly

[@kumakumar313]

It's more than just a little finger flick; lemme try to explain. The first part of the riff is the same until you pluck the 4th string (with your index on 2nd fret), after that you quickly hammer/pull off to 4th fret/2nd fret, pull off to open, strum and then he plays 2 notes with his thumb on the 6th string (first one open, second one on 4th fret) in the same rythm you play the double thumb notes in the chorus part when Ben sings 'From us now" after that you play the harmonics on the 7th fret.

[@brendo2005]

this is going to be the first song i learn on guitar... will post vid when done if u want lool might be a few months

[@emmal1862]

hey gareth! are there tabs for this anywhere? i would pay to buy it!

[@Georgelovessurf]

you got mad skills :p xx

[@brettgventer9828]

Teach us Empty Corridors by Ben Howard!

[@goeiemorrege1]

hi G0liath1012! first of all.., thanks for putting up this tutorial! it helpeped me a whole lot learning how to play this beautiful song :) im practicing 24/7 and day by day the song sounds more like the original. i still have a long way to go tho, cuz im trying to play it like the version he plays live in front of the louvre in paris, and i managed to copy the end riff a bit but still im stuck @ 4:04 when he starts playing that fast riff.. can't find it out by my own :( do you mind helping out?

[@clarkeluke101]

can you please do a tutorial of phunkdified by Ben lapps i would really appreciate it.

[@brendanownsu]

thank u so much :)

[@All4TheKing7]

Please do a tutorial of Ben Howard - Master

[@TobyPeggzzMitchell]

intro song is so good, what is it?:)

[@watashiwanachodes]

I LOVE YOU my friend i do i fuckin... youre awesome.. what kind of skill do you use to make this accurate covers mate????

[@Manittas]

Hey! i really need to know what brand an type is your capo because i've been looking for a capo like that but i can't find one :/

[@DallasCollector]

+Filipe Neves looks like a shubb banjo capo

[@Manittas]

***** thanks for the info, but i've been searching a lot and i've discovered that ukelele capos can do it too

[@choppychip]

0:55 to all the haters. Thanks again gareth!

[@adityarajganeju]

choppychip lmao

[@nathanl.]

made me crack up ahahah

[@ambercharlotteex]

The problem is.. I can't play guitar.

[@Donutory]

+Amber Charlotte If you'd started by the time this comment was published, you would be able to play that by now haha! funny how things work out right?

[@martijnvandewetering5952]

if he focussed on fingerstyle picking ;) By the time I comment this he would be able to for sure though!

[@martijnvandewetering5952]

@Australiantatious she is dead by now I'm almost retired. This conversation is ancient

[@martijnvandewetering5952]

@Australiantatious not what I was implying

[@Ward217]

tuning at 2:31 so you dont have to find it afterwards, hope this helps.

[@duncanmcallister4688]

What grade would this song be?

[@zidans4956]

Pls do a tutorial on how to play this song or any other ben howard song in standard tuning!!!

[@jambonlemon]

he has done "keep your head up" which he tunes the first and the last strings d, a d respectively, however I find it sounds better with the sixth string kept in E. to get the rough tuning by ear the 5th string is equal to the 2nd an the 6th string is the 4th.. so final tuning is E A D G A D, hope this helps :)

[@jambonlemon]

Matthew Smith I ment first string is the 4th

[@hanneskrischkofsky8727]

which kapotasta can I use for this?

[@ZvinH1]

Please please please do Önly Love"!!!!

[@JackBowles]

i need that flick thing aswell i cant work it out!

[@fluorescentbanduk4270]

Just turn your capo up side down and it works

[@camfre4k]

you are so awsome haha

[@AlexSuperTramp-]

Note that this is CGCGGC and not open C tuning.

[@Almostblue27]

I a 99% sure it's called a harmonic, look up guitar harmonics and hopefully that helps. It basically just involves lightly pressing on strings whilst playing them.

[@Safno4]

alot of people talk about nails, but i always use my fingers with finger picking and never my nails. is that weird?

[@oisinmahon752]

i know its when i tune my high e string back to standard tuning. i don't go higher than e but idk whats happening

[@justanotherguy7968]

You are the bee's knees.

[@tommeier6190]

2:45 tuning part

[@mirresnelting]

How do I tune my guitar to c-g-c-g-g-c?

[@JackBowles]

whats differnt at 00:24 i wanna know ?

[@sarapocrnja5083]

Does anyone know how to do the first trill in the intro? Can’t figure it out at 0.25x speed lmao

[@sarapocrnja5083]

I actually figured it out possibly - for anyone around still wondering you do that same intro part on the 2nd and 4th fret so open 6th, open 5th hammer on 5th string (2nd fret), hammer on 5th string (4th fret), strum, 4th string (2nd fret) but instead of going back to the 5th string on 4th you hammer on 4th string on 4th fret then immediately pull off, then immediately pull off the 2nd fret 4th string. Then I like to do the 2nd fret 5th string but instead of plucking it I strum the top strings and then pull off the 2nd fret 5th string. Then you do the 6th string 4th fret and harmonics as normal. Hope this makes sense for anyone still trying to figure it out. It’s just a whole hammer on and pull off sequence on the 4th string.

[@33tek25]

Sort me some slick deals at Go Outdoors

[@TheConfuzedBadger]

PLEASE

[@oisinmahon752]

broke 3 strings tuning this :L idk how i did it considering it was all tuning down :L

[@michaelchubbs2757]

Here's an idea: put the tuning in the description.

[@yampierdeleon3239]

CGCGGC

[@yampierdeleon3239]

This is the tuning :)

[@33tek25]

Why you ignoring me Gaz?

[@Aaahjah]
