I've been playing guitar for 25 years and this is one of the best teaching examples for guitar I've ever seen. He broke it down perfectly in a simple and easy to understand way
THIS IS THE NICEST VIDEO THAT I'VE SEEN IN THE HOLE YEAR. It is so humble to watch superstars teaching their own songs to help everyone make this quarantine easier. Way to go!!!!! (can you do Hold Back the River???)
I absolutely love this song and I've been playing guitar for years, so I wanted to learn how to play it. RUclips is my goto for learning pretty much anything, so I type James Bay, let it go guitar tutorial, and as if all the stars have aligned, up pops a video of James Bay teaching his own song. What an absolute legend.
had my guitar ready to learn, just put it aside and decided to listen instead... What A Monster of felling and what a composer...Jesus , OMG, I've been a fan for some years now, still get "transported" just like the first day . Thanks for the simplicity , humbleness, and for sharing your talent.
Georgia" I love your beautiful Voice so much...! I love this song! So beautiful ♥️♥️ We thank you so much for everything you offer us...🙏🎶🎸 We love you, James Bay!🙏♥️☺️
Do you have any idea of how amazing you are? Your music is excellent! Thank you for sharing your talent in this way with your fans all around the world... thank you for being such a humble man. Greetings fro Argentina!
mate u are probably one of biggest singer songwriters out there atm, and for you to take the time and make the humble gesture of helping us guitarists out and braking down your songs for us is just a really nice thing to do , thank you so much 👍
@Tom Taft stay safe. I've heard US has highest no. Of infection, avoid contact with other people's wash your hands properly and stay clean. Being clean and inside house is the main way you can avoid corona virus.
Watching 3 years after the pandemic, at 2am, with the intro riff stuck in my head I wanted to learn how to noodle it on my guitar as the beginner that I am, pleasantly surprised to see a tutorial by the writer himself. What a wonderful thing you did during the worst time in our living history James, I'm sad that I wasn't at this stage in my guitar learning journey three years ago to have picked this video up then. I am grateful for it now, regardless. Thank you for sharing such a candid view of your work and for keeping everyone's spirits up during a low period.
This absolutely blew my mind, I returned to RUclips to find a tutorial and found the man himself teaching it, this is a top 10 most beautiful song ever written and the way James plays and sings, just goes straight through my heart, tears it's so beautiful expressed the love that made this song, I always play it in my playlist more than once, such a deep and amazing talent he is 💖 I truly can't wait until I can finger pick and sing along .
Mind blown. We are SO LUCKY to being living today. I mean, to get a free lesson from JAMES FRIGGIN’ BAY himself?! Wow. I actually learned to play this song from another channel. We are so spoiled. Thanks James for giving us your time!!!
DAM JAMES! Thank you! The value you provide to listeners is unmatched. I hope it catches on and more artist follow similar path.- Step 1:Write a beautiful, real, song that connects . 2. Preform that song across the world night after night . 3. Then, magically be able to have the track be so good, you are not sick of playing it and in your limited free time, perform it on social media while breaking it down and teaching the world to play it! Thanks so much for doing these. Getting to hear you play, letting us get to know you as a person and see how you see music is a awesome privilege. Getting a broken down lesson from the original artist of a track is unbeatable . Your good at making music less daunting and more accessible for all! You sure don’t have to do any of this but thank you for the huge value these videos hold.
Thank you so much for making this tutorial! I have a guitar I bought a while ago but only started trying to learn recently. I quickly realized knowing how to read music doesn’t help much, and the specifics of strumming, etc. are hard to learn through text. This is the first song I’m learning from
this guy is so sweet... i don't play any instrument but He makes me focus 😁 so imagine he teaches at my school... i might always get A+ in all subjects 😁
Really nice peak into the real life of a major artist. A genuinely good songwriter... not many of those left in popular music these days. Please keep writing from your heart and don’t let the industry steer you. Keep it up James!
Good god damn man what a beautiful thing to do. I’ve loved this song for the longest time and to now be able to play it is easily the best thing that’s happened during my long lockdown. Please know this couldn’t be appreciated more
Please do live sessions of you singing the songs pretty please!! Stay at home concerts would be so amazing. Your voice has honestly helped me through the hardest times. Also you also stay safe. A world with out your voice is a world of emptiness.
From walking home and talking loads To seeing shows in evening clothes with you From nervous touch and getting drunk To staying up and waking up with you Now we're slipping near the edge Holding something we don't need Oh, this delusion in our heads Is gonna bring us to our knees So come on, let it go Just let it be Why don't you be you And I'll be me Everything that's broke Leave it to the breeze Why don't you be you And I'll be me And I'll be me From throwing clothes across the floor To teeth and claws and slamming doors at you If this is all we're living for Why are we doing it, doing it, doing it anymore? I used to recognize myself It's funny how reflections change When we're becoming something else I think it's time to walk away So come on, let it go Just let it be Why don't you be you And I'll be me Everything that's broke Leave it to the breeze Why don't you be you And I'll be me And I'll be me Tryna fit your hand inside mine When we know it just don't belong There's no force on earth Could make it feel right, no Tryna push this problem up the hill When it's just too heavy to hold Think now is the time to let it slide So come on, let it go Just let it be Why don't you be you And I'll be me Everything that's broke Leave it to the breeze Let the ashes fall Forget about me Come on, let it go Just let it be Why don't you be you And I'll be me And I'll be me
How sweet you are. Humble and such a genius!! Doubt you know it, to kind thank you my favorite musician and singer for 10 years. Made this week so much better. Stay safe gorgeous 🤗😇😁😘❤👈
Lessons from the artist are the best, thanks for the time and for doing this and all for free. All of it was clear except the little outro riff where giving the frets would be useful, but at the same time it forces a bit more learning by ear, which is the best way. So thanks for pushing me out of the comfort zone.
So greatful as a beginner/intermediate player for your tutorials James, so good of you to allow us all a closer look. Please keep the tutorials coming, I wish you many many more years of continued success and hope to see you live soon, absolute Top man!👍👏👏👏👏
Greetings from Dominican Republic man. You're the best. I hope the best for you, keep it doing this awesome music you've been doing. A big hug from here!
You are very good person... Very talented , and I hope that all You do is fullfiled with love and other strong emotions even if they are hurting You. But it all makes You complete.. Keep up and stay healthy James :* Greetings from Poland :)
I type in let it go tutorial for the first time and I get a video uploaded a week ago from the artist himself. This is awesome and this song is incredible. Thank you and stay safe.
He seems to lose his place sometimes very briefly but the fact that he can instantly correct himself is incredible especially as he continues to sing. Amazing dude
James love you man and this song of yours. You just made me love your guitar and you more. ❤🤟 And please do more of these sessions. Even after these tough times. 😇
you're such a joy 💗 thank you for keeping us accompanied esp these times. sorry for my grammar 😆 bless you James! i hope i can see you perform live when this pandemic ends! much love from 🇵🇭
I have never picked up a guitar before, but will begin to learn it during this quarantine. I love music and I have always wanted to learn guitar. Thanks for the lesson! Wish me luck!😁💓
Muchas gracias. Que un artista así se digne a hacer un vídeo explicando tan detalladamente como tocar una de sus canciones dice mucho de su calidad humana. Bravo James. Te auguro y deseo lo mejor

I can’t tell you how many gloomy school mornings singing this song at the top of my longs got me through, thank you so much James Bay😊
The tone of that guitar is so nice

I missed the sound of James’ live voice and then he blessed us with this😭 You made a very bad Tuesday so much better! Thank you🤩
I know nothing about guitars but I love watching him play, it makes me eager to learn how to!!
I will listen to this song forever and it will always give me that special feeling that it does, I absolutely love this song and his voice.

James, you were my most played artist in Spotify for 2019! Hugs xx
He would be mine, too, if my daughters wouldn’t play Why Don’t We 74 times a day! 🤣
The most under rated artist today.
JI WON Gwak totally agree!

As a guitar player of 11 years I’ll say he’s a super talented player/song writer which takes so much skill and imagination.
You are sooo awesome ... I cried a tsunami of tears with this wonderfully created song... you are a genius , James
Ilove j b cause he's real. Real people are hard to find. Lets keep it real.
Thank you so much for making this tutorial! I have a guitar I bought a while ago but only started trying to learn recently. I quickly realized knowing how to read music doesn’t help much, and the specifics of strumming, etc. are hard to learn through text. This is the first song I’m learning from
I'm falling in live for you day by day
You're one of the kindest human beings I know.Thanks for those lessons and your music.....and also thanks for existing 🎶🔥 😂😎
You don't need a script dude, you're a natural.
this guy is so sweet... i don't play any instrument but He makes me focus 😁 so imagine he teaches at my school... i might always get A+ in all subjects 😁
Really nice peak into the real life of a major artist. A genuinely good songwriter... not many of those left in popular music these days. Please keep writing from your heart and don’t let the industry steer you. Keep it up James!
Good god damn man what a beautiful thing to do. I’ve loved this song for the longest time and to now be able to play it is easily the best thing that’s happened during my long lockdown. Please know this couldn’t be appreciated more
Thanks for the tutorial man, really cool to have an artist break down their own songs.
Thank you for sharing your gift! I hope you continue to be blessings to others! I admire your humility...God bless!
I havent touched my guitar in over a year and this has me wanting to get back into playing once again. Thank you.

Beautifull:"3. I'm still obsessed with this, like the first time. ♡♡♡♡
I've been waiting for this for so long! Thanks James Bay for making one of my dreams come true! We love you! And stay safe!
He is such a great artist and human being. What a sound and energy. Thank you for sharing your gifts with the world! Much love!
Please do live sessions of you singing the songs pretty please!! Stay at home concerts would be so amazing. Your voice has honestly helped me through the hardest times. Also you also stay safe. A world with out your voice is a world of emptiness.
I already know how to play this, but it's still so satisfying and calming to watch!
From walking home and talking loads
To seeing shows in evening clothes with you
From nervous touch and getting drunk
To staying up and waking up with you
Now we're slipping near the edge
Holding something we don't need
Oh, this delusion in our heads
Is gonna bring us to our knees
So come on, let it go
Just let it be
Why don't you be you
And I'll be me
Everything that's broke
Leave it to the breeze
Why don't you be you
And I'll be me
And I'll be me
From throwing clothes across the floor
To teeth and claws and slamming doors at you
If this is all we're living for
Why are we doing it, doing it, doing it anymore?
I used to recognize myself
It's funny how reflections change
When we're becoming something else
I think it's time to walk away
So come on, let it go
Just let it be
Why don't you be you
And I'll be me
Everything that's broke
Leave it to the breeze
Why don't you be you
And I'll be me
And I'll be me
Tryna fit your hand inside mine
When we know it just don't belong
There's no force on earth
Could make it feel right, no
Tryna push this problem up the hill
When it's just too heavy to hold
Think now is the time to let it slide
So come on, let it go
Just let it be
Why don't you be you
And I'll be me
Everything that's broke
Leave it to the breeze
Let the ashes fall
Forget about me
Come on, let it go
Just let it be
Why don't you be you
And I'll be me
And I'll be me
Honest. Sincere. Melodic. Thanks man!!!
This song is criminally underrated still
He's so precious.
I’m in love with your songs, voice and personality ❤️
One of the most amazing voices. You’re so talented!😊💜
Man what a one on lesson you rock my friend thank you so much for your time your so so sweet. Love love love this chat and jammin
How sweet you are. Humble and such a genius!! Doubt you know it, to kind thank you my favorite musician and singer for 10 years. Made this week so much better. Stay safe gorgeous 🤗😇😁😘❤👈
The shadow and lighting behind his head looks like his old look with hat!
I'm a complete beginner. But can't wait to try these! Thanks for doing them!

Que un artista así se digne a hacer un vídeo explicando tan detalladamente como tocar una de sus canciones dice mucho de su calidad humana.
Bravo James. Te auguro y deseo lo mejor
