I can't believe you actually take your time to teach us fellow future guitarists how to play popular songs. Dude you're the best, you don't get a gold star; you get a platinum award!
Extremely underrated guitarist. He might not play shred or fast lines, but his rhythms and choices of notes are all so musical and define the Maroon 5 sound. My hats off to you Sir. :)
James is such a great player. He knows a lot of musical theory and always uses a few chords for an entire song. It's brilliant how he manages to get that deep sound with a bit of picking hand technique. I admire him and his very unique style. This lessons are great, and the fact that he took time to make these shows how much of a great guy he is.
Such a humble person its really hard to see...your really special from Inside and outside...goodlooking,talented and I bet a nice human being. Respect and congratulations from Argentina.
It’s one thing to play music but to create and tell a story with your playing to using melody and harmony is such a wonderful gift you have. Such an inspiration to us who play.
James Valentine is an underrated guitarist, I play bass but soon I'll get a guitar and he's the reason why I got interested to learn guitar! I'll forever love maroon 5 the best band honestly.
It's amazing that you feel so relaxed and confident as a singer songwriter and in yourself to make these tutorials ! There are very few bands/singer song writers who would do this. Many thanks
When you two performed this song tonight, at NA tour 2013 in Vancouver, Canada, I cried. This song means so much to me. Thank you so much for this video! I am determined to learn it by tonight. Amazing show btw! My first concert ever and I'm glad I went to see my favourite band
You are the best! I'm literally shocked due to the fact that 23 people disliked this video...I think it is the coolest thing to get a guitar lesson from the songwriter himself!
Thanks James! That was a very cool lesson and you’re great at explaining things without too much theory. Most people don’t really want to study music theory for years and years so they can teach music theory. Most people just want to play and you made it simple to understand. I had a lot of fun playing along man. I hope all is well. Best wishes in all of your endeavors from the Mid-Atlantic region of the USA!
Thank you very very much. My only regret is that it took me forever to find this video. You have an excellent teaching technique and of course you’re playing is superb. Thanks again.
You're a beast! Total inspiration. Like many have said before, it's so rare to see professionals take time out to teach their fans. Much appreciated and much love dude.
What a great contibution to the music sir, this is the first time that I found the real "artist" teaching his own song, hats off, that's what make a lot of young musician to get involved with music... i saw you in México 1 month ago and you rock! (but i missed to see u with your telecaster)
John Petrucci does this quite a lot - but trying to learn his songs is horribly difficult because of how intricate they are! But James Valentine is amazingly in touch with his fans and always gives something back to us (other than his music, of course)!
James, it's nice that you are giving back! Here's a different voicing for the GM7 that works nicely as an alternate to your GM7: Barr all six strings at the second fret, then fret the second and sixth strings at the third fret - this is a GM9 add 13. The chord shape you are calling G13, is more accurately called G7 add 13. I used to refer to this chord shape as a 13th too, until I learned more about how chords are built. When I show this chord to a student, I call it a 7 add 13 chord, but also point out that it can be used when you see a 13th chord on sheet music. But to be a real 13th chord, you need to include the major 9th and perfect 11th intervals. From the bottom up, the intervals of G13 are: G (root), F (m7), A (M9), C (P11), E (M13). Cheers, Lou
Thank you James, we know you as a very gifted guitarist but you'd really make a great teacher! Really good lesson. Much, much more please! Thank you. Chrjen
Sweet! Thank you James for taking the time out of your schedule to teach us. You remind me, many years ago when I first walked into a recording studio and I had the opportunity to hear some 'bed' tracks being recorded. I was astonished (as I think most of us who are used to only hearing a final mix). xx
This is very worth it for beginners, because it teaches several essential skills in a simple three string riff. Comparatively, learning cowboy chords and strumming patters when I was a beginner was more difficult.
Thanks for taking the time James! Your tutorial method is far superior to most, you get right to the meat of it without treating us like we're stoopid! ;^)
James - As a guitarist, I can't thank you enough for taking the time to teach this - you are amazing!!! Hate to be greedy, but would love for you to teach "Sunday morning". Thanks - John.
This is so awesome. I just put up a "how to play" vid for an easy version of this song and stumbled onto this from the related. I love that the guitarist from the band has a video showing how he actually plays it. This is so useful, i wish all bands did this.
Such a great way to use the IV chord in the chorus. It sounds amazing. I love this song and will not stop practicing until I can play it exactly like this while singing.
This is so wonderful. It speaks volumes about you! Thank you for taking your time to show us how to play your songs! It is like sharing a little bit of the magic powder you got in your hands! THAANKS!!! BTW..Amazing guitar as well..sustain is forever!
i just stumbled upon these vids after i was watching some guitar covers , i'm not a marooner so o don't know much about the band but this guy is too sweet like omg!
Hey your 5th Album V is my favorite so far along with 1,2, and 3. Loved the 80's vibe. Please do more of that on the next album and please add more lead guitar work. Really want to hear some solos and harmonizing on guitar.
Thank you so much! This is the first time I've found the actual musician teaching how to play their own tune. I wish more did this. I was right. I thought you were playing triads in this version. All the tabs and charts and stuff get it wrong. They identify the chords correctly, but not how they're played. Of course it's a strummable tune, but to me, how you play it is the whole appeal.
I have always wanted to learn how to play this song on guitar. Just got back into playing guitar for some relaxation. I'm glad this is the first song I'm learning in a very long time. Great song!!! I just need more practice
Thank you Jimmy, you're really awesome! And this vid is amazing. I'm glad I had the opportunity to watch u guys live. It was amazing. And btw, this is one of my favorite songs
You're such talented awesome & kind guys. I've always loved your band & "she will be loved" has always been my favourite song of all time. Thank you very much for your time to teach us how to play your songs "Such a nice idea!!" I've got my first guitar a year ago & still learning; I hope someday, somehow I'd be like you :) Keep on going, Wish you all the best. Love you always
I have to add what others are saying....yes it is truly most cool that you take time to teach us! Thank you! By the way my dream guitar is a Gibson ES 335.... Someday I'll have one too! Love it! Thanks from Tucson AZ.
This is gonna be lost in the comments but I'm back here watching this video 8 - 9 years after i first learnt it. When I first learnt this, i was at school's studio trying to play and sing this when a girl walked past and i asked her, randomly, if she'd be willing to do the singing for me. That was the first time i met my ex gf. We've been broken up for 5 years now but this song will always remain special to me ✨
It's never been more useful than having the original guitarist show us how to play his band's songs, much better than seeing someone else's interpretation...Please put one up for Sunday Morning?

I agree with U .. its cool ...
Really amazing...
Extremely underrated guitarist. He might not play shred or fast lines, but his rhythms and choices of notes are all so musical and define the Maroon 5 sound. My hats off to you Sir. :)
Oh he can shred and play fast stuff
He can and he's awesome at it.
But yeah, it's underrated...
Trinity I know he can, but he chooses not to. That is what I like from this man - he places the music above everything else :)
Exactly what I think
he shred bro
I met this guy on a plane on the way to Vegas a few days ago. He's probably one of the nicest people I've ever met in my life.
Nicee!!!
I know I'm late but hell yeah!!!
Its so great to actually learn from someone who actually wrote the song. Songs About Jane is so great.
True musician, is one that teaches!
This is really cool and much appreciated. You don't see many of the pros taking the time to break down this kind of stuff. Mad respect to you sir
Thank You, I absolutely concur! Quite kewl....:)
I know he can, but he always plays for the song, and that is what I like from the guy. He is very musical and is not a showoff :)
James is such a great player. He knows a lot of musical theory and always uses a few chords for an entire song. It's brilliant how he manages to get that deep sound with a bit of picking hand technique. I admire him and his very unique style.

James Valentine is an underrated guitarist, I play bass but soon I'll get a guitar and he's the reason why I got interested to learn guitar! I'll forever love maroon 5 the best band honestly.
I am just sad that it's mostly Adam that gets the recognition..
It's amazing that you feel so relaxed and confident as a singer songwriter and in yourself to make these tutorials ! There are very few bands/singer song writers who would do this.
Many thanks
I love how he made this video for everyone else, and tells the beginners to practice, i love this video
It's incredible that you shared your thought process and gave us lessons on a song you wrote!! Wish more bands did this!!
When you two performed this song tonight, at NA tour 2013 in Vancouver, Canada, I cried. This song means so much to me. Thank you so much for this video! I am determined to learn it by tonight. Amazing show btw! My first concert ever and I'm glad I went to see my favourite band
I can't believe I'm just seeing this now. James Valentine, the legend, is teaching me how to play one of my favourite songs!
Hell yeah!!! Tutorial from the songwriter himself!!! Your the best!
real musician =shared your talent and teach
I don't know why he's quite underrated but I really love his guitar skills, those romantic melodies are just incredible
Who taught me how to play "She Will Be Loved?" ........James Valentine....
Lovely
The man himself
Teaching others to play your stuff... major props to you!!! And you have no idea how much more your music will live by having others playing too!
This is the first time I see a famous musician giving tutorial for his fans on how to play their music. You are amazing.
Dude has a THR10 up on his shelf... Great little amp.
One of my favorite toys.
Thanks for the lesson.
You are the best! I'm literally shocked due to the fact that 23 people disliked this video...I think it is the coolest thing to get a guitar lesson from the songwriter himself!
James, you are the best funk guitarist in today's pop music scene !
You are so humble & sweet for reaching out to fans and teaching us this. It's amazing and sweet. Thank you, James. And HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
You just became a part of my top 10 favorite guitarists.
it was really generous of you to post a guita tutorial for your fans. this is why i love maroon 5.
Thanks James! That was a very cool lesson and you’re great at explaining things without too much theory.

This is a great lesson. You have a talent for teaching as well as playing. Thanks for taking the time to do this.
ive never seen an actual musician taking so much time and going into such details for a tutorial. I tip my hat to you Mr. Valentine
You sir, are the reason i wanted to learn how to play the guitar thanks so much for the inspiration 3 years ago
What a great contibution to the music sir, this is the first time that I found the real "artist" teaching his own song, hats off, that's what make a lot of young musician to get involved with music... i saw you in México 1 month ago and you rock! (but i missed to see u with your telecaster)

+Lou Rossi Hi, can you show the tabs that James said in the video?
Thank you James, we know you as a very gifted guitarist but you'd really make a great teacher! Really good lesson. Much, much more please! Thank you. Chrjen
Sweet! Thank you James for taking the time out of your schedule to teach us. You remind me, many years ago when I first walked into a recording studio and I had the opportunity to hear some 'bed' tracks being recorded. I was astonished (as I think most of us who are used to only hearing a final mix). xx
I feel blessed to be taught by such a humble person like you.
Me too! I don't play guitar, but James is my favorite, and I will watch anything with him in it.
This is very worth it for beginners, because it teaches several essential skills in a simple three string riff. Comparatively, learning cowboy chords and strumming patters when I was a beginner was more difficult.
Thanks for taking the time James! Your tutorial method is far superior to most, you get right to the meat of it without treating us like we're stoopid! ;^)
I love u Jamesssssss , and The guitar's line of She will be loved totally the Best! Pure beautiful combine with Adam 's voice.
hey man thanks for the lesson of this particular version 😊
This is so cool that you do this. It makes me so happy that musicians like you share your music in this way.
James - As a guitarist, I can't thank you enough for taking the time to teach this - you are amazing!!! Hate to be greedy, but would love for you to teach "Sunday morning". Thanks - John.
