How To Play "Love Yourself" Exactly Like The Recording PART I - Justin Bieber, Easy Guitar Lesson

In this video we show you how to play the verse from Love Yourself by Justin Bieber (written by Ed Sheeran). This easy fingerstyle song uses a special 2-finger shape (the same one found in Blackbird) and a strum slap technique. It sounds great on electric or acoustic guitar.
"Love Yourself" Sheet Music/TAB no longer available due to copyright issues, but I have something even better!

A percussive slap technique is used to make that "smack" sound on the guitar. Here is a video where we go over this technique in detail, along with practice tracks and diagrams: goodguitarist.com/the-strum-sl...
This is Part I, where we show the verse. If you want to learn to play the pre-chorus (My mama don't like...) and Chorus (so if you like the way...) check out Part II: • Learn "Love Yourself" ...

I'm quiet because the mic was right near my face (as well as the camera) to get that point-of-view shot... just in case any of you were wondering ;)

Why does it sound like it's night, and he doesn't want to wake up his parents?

[@Good_Guitarist]

Because this is SOFT VOICE JAMES

[@KolsonJohanson]

Walker White i bet he's gay.

[@goyambansal2357]

Kolson Johanson youre soo stupid, u r judging if he is gay by the way he speaks and looks, and even if he his, then what💩😠

[@goyambansal2357]

TheMonsterPlays i just dont like these type of people who make fun of gay people or assume that someone is gay by just seeing him

[@goyambansal2357]

TheMonsterPlays i didnt say anything to you, i was saying to the other guy

Good Guitarist yess thankyouuu , but there is one thing im confused about, while you're "picking" with your fingers with one hand, can i just hold the neck of the guitar with my other? Bc i saw ur fingers like holding down on some of the strings like with that hand but im super confused. Thanks for responding im at level 1 this is my first song that im trying to learn . 😅
