Just bought a guitar and eager to learn, this song is one of the main reasons I even bought a guitar. First heard this song in 2014 when I was in college, was going through a rough time and this song really touched my heart in a special way. Still one of my favorite songs to this day, listen to it all the time. I know this video is 10 years old now lol, but just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to give a tutorial on how to play it and thanks for making such a beautiful song to begin with
Awsome Bro, Your a giver. You've said that the music is your release. That seems very obvious. I would like to hear you talk about how you get into the frame of mind to spin these wonderful lyrics : )
Hello Mr. Cooper, I was wondering if you could show the strumming pattern, especially for the chords right before the middle part of the song. The picking was perfectly done and easy to follow, but I have no rhythm and can't figure it out. Thank you for your time and help.
+Josh Lasure I know it's been 8 months but the strumming pattern at 11:01 is down up thumb-down up thumb-down up so Am-dududu dududu dudu Em-dududu *release index finger dududu dudu F and so on
Sorry can anyone explain me how I palm mute the chords? Especially for the chords at 16:35 when I have to mute only the A string? Please! Someone can give me an advice?
Your songs are among most difficult for me to play even though the chords are not sophisticated. But the joy when I manage to play the melody is overwhelming, cuz it's so beautiful.
In the beginning of the chorus, around 8:50, what F is he playing? He says it's the F from before, but the X 3 3 2 X X that he used in the verse doesn't sound like what he's playing here.
What are the four chords that he plays before the picking happens? (It is right after the humming, in the song. ) I believe the first is a C, then not sure after that.
Hey Ben. Could you please try to explaine the piano opening? It's so beautiful. I'd love to learn the play it. As well as the piano at the end of dead waltz. F
Oh my God.. I was listening to this song thinking "if only he showed how to play it..!.." I searched in RUclips ammidiately for any tutorial and found it!. I am still realising this is real. And I just wanna say - thank you so much.. I feel so warm and happy now When the little dreams come true..))!
Do you explain the "But everything goes away, yeah everything goes away. but I'm gonna be here till I'm nothing, but bones in the ground" fingerpicking?
I love how you've got this down-to-earth, grassroots vibe. It comes out in your music and it definitely shows here by the fact that you're doing a tutorial for all your fans. I love this song and I'm stoked to learn it. Thank you!
You do some finger picking in the live video when you sing But everything goes away, Yeah everything goes away But I'm going to be here until I'm nothing But bones in the ground How do I learn that?
Could you please tell me what the first two chords are before the picking in the intro that are repeated? It's a C and something else but I can't get the other one...
I've been a big fan of your music for a while, and of all the tutorials and tablatures I've looked at, this is the only one I could learn from. Thank you so much, keep putting out great stuff!
this has been so much help. me and my friend are trying to play it and this helped so much. thx ben for making the music you do and I swere I wouldn't be hear right now if it wasn't for it, it means so much to me and so much moor that you are teaching us how to play it. thx so much and I don't know were I would be without your music
Thank you Ben, I've been wondering how to play this song correctyl! Now about explaining piano. The beauty of it is that you don't have to explain, all you got to do is play it slow and record from above, and we can get it just by looking at it! ;D Ghost town tutorial next?

Dude, thanks for sharing. This is awesome. I've never seen a tutorial done by the artist himself.
The same! This is why it is amazing even more!
So the man himself does a tutorial - how cool is that,
guess he knows "imitation is the sincerest---"

You are my favorite artist. Your music is absolutely breathtaking
I love the fact that he teaches you his own songs, not every great musician does that

Thank you so much, I can finally play my ultimate favourite song. I usually can never pick a favourite, but this would be it. Thanks.

Does anyone know the tempo used in this song? The clapping is pretty darn fast. Am guessing 4/4 timing but would be cool to know the tempo
You're a genius, Ben.
