I can play this whole song now just because of your video. This technical song I never could have imagined I'd be able to play, I am now strumming away at comfortably and fluidly in just over 20 minutes. You sir are a highly effective and enjoyable teacher. Thank you!
Not gonna lie: the first time I heard this song it sounded difficult, and I never imagined I would be able to play it. Thanks to your lessons (part 1 and 2) I have been jamming this song every morning. You offer clear and concise information that moves at a solid pace. Thank you so much!
This song for me brings back so many memories of backpacking the Pacific Crest Trail, but I never thought I’d be able to play it. Thank you 10 years later!
Not only have you helped me play some of my favourite songs from my favourite artist, you've improved my guitar playing immeasurably in only a few weeks that I've been watching your videos. Got this and Keep Your Head Up down to a tee and I'm well chuffed. Thanks so much! Merry Christmas!
You're a great teacher man! Like others have said, you present all the information we need to know in a clear and logical way and don't just expect us to know. Thank you very much for taking the time to share your knowledge with us.
I have been using your tutorials for a while now, and finally got around to giving you a little love. You truly are the best youtube-teacher I've come across, and to make it even better, your taste in music is very nice :) Keep up the good work.
you have made me such a better player. i love ben howard and i was frustrated not being able to play his music. you've helped me learn 3 songs in a very accelerated amount of time. thanks so much. i just posted keep your head up with you help. thanks alot
Wow, THANK YOU for this! It was perfectly clear and I learned it real fast. Now I just have to practice and get used to linking the different parts more quickly. Great tutorial, thanks again!
Thanks for the great lesson. At the last minute, this was requested for me to play at a wedding tomorrow. Thanks for the slow, detailed, lesson. You ROCK!!!
Thanks for this easy to follow tutorial. Really great job, my friend. Working through it as we speak. Saw Ben live in Portland 2 days ago. Ben's guitar with India's cello is pure magic.
@MariTucker1 thanks, yeah further away WOULD be amazing to learn. It's been requested so many times i have actually started learning but as always there are no tabs for the hard songs so its a long process. so stay tuned, it's coming!... now if only i could find my partial capo :)
I would like to agree with the below comments in thanking you very much for providing this super effective, patient, and well done tutorial that had me learning a song I thought would be way out of my skill level. You have a true talent for teaching and I hope it puts to use outside of these vids!
More quality lessons. Thank you so much .. I hadn't even heard BH's alum until I saw you teaching something from it, so I guessed it would be good. Now I'm playing his songs !! Cheers again!!
You're awesome, Man! Thank You so much for the whole tutorial! Your explanation is very clear, so that I can play almost the enitre song now. Cheers from Poland! :))
Merci beaucoup mec ! I've been trying to find out those chords and tuning for weeks, and all i needed was your introduction in part 1. Thanks again, you play really well and your explanations are crystal clear (even for a french speaker like me). Cheers mate. Keep up the good work (one more subscribed right now)
Very good, straight to the point, clean explanation. Very simple professional, No like other videos out there that have a painful 5 mins intro like it is a commercial or something with personal opinions on the artist and blah blah.
You do such great tutorials! I had never imagined I would be able to play Ben Howard songs, but thanks to you, I already know this song by heart! Please, it would be amazing to learn "Only Love" and "Gracious"!!!
Definitely the best teacher on youtube... im self teachimg myself guitar at the moment and your video was really easy to follow... you actually explain every string hit and not just expect us to know. Would you mind doing a tutorial for these small things by ben howard?
Hey Gareth, Awesome tutorials man, we share the same taste for music! Learned to properly play Old Pine and keep your head up from Ben Howard and Love is all from the Tallest Man on Earth. Keep up the good work!
Another song learned with your help, Gareth! Your lessons are incredible :) I cannot thank you enough for using your skills to help us learn our favorite songs and become better guitarists... and for doing it all FREE! Appreciate you so much, Gareth. Thank you.
Great tutorial, im a huge ben howard fan so sadly i had already learnt this one, gave it a like none the less. A tutorial for further away would be amazing, i taught myself a stripped down version by going through a video of him playing it frame by frame, still couldnt get it perfected. Or bones would be awesome. Cheers ! and thanks for all the vids, your tutorial for rylynn made me the guitarist i am today.
i hope you make money from teaching playing the guitar ! i would like to say i wish you live near me so you can teach me but jesus i dont need it after watching your videos ! you're the man , thank you
I think this is my first time leaving a comment on a RUclips video, but damn Gareth... you deserve this. Thanks thanks thanks and thanks. Such an advanced and beautiful guitar song made so easy by you and your amazing explanations. Thanks again mate!
brilliant job mate, can't believe how well you did andy mckee's stuff as-well. impressive. i'm the second to put in a request for "Further Away" or "Only Love". my two favourite guitar pieces from ben howard. best get stuck in to some more of you tutorials cheers
excellent tutorial, seems somehow to me that ben howard has quite the same patterns in his songs(keep your head up has nearly the same picking movement just other strings?) but they all sound still different and sooooooooooooo beautiful :)
thanks Gareth, you make the best tutorials out on youtube, very very very much appreciated! songs of the artists I listen to the most. Would like to see some more tutorials for Bon iver songs in the future if you get a chance to do so!
I would like to learn 7 Bottles, so if you could do a tutorial on that, it would be great! And if not, that's okay! I've got more than enough to keep myself occupied with these awesome tutorials. Thank you so much for these!
You're a great teacher- very easy to pick up! Tuned my instrument the same as yours but mine sounds wildly different and has the "out-of-tune" sound to it. Not sure if it's because this guitar can't hold a tune or if it's because I'm doing it on electric (acoustic's strings getting changed as I write this :P) but otherwise all is good. Will be trying on my acoustic soon! Thank you!
hey thanks for the tutorial! im having trouble with the part you mention at 8:45. you say its the same as the verse except strumming and then you demonstrate it, but its really confusing to me for some reason. any help? you make it seem so easy! thanks for the rest though I had a great time learning it
I can play this whole song now just because of your video. This technical song I never could have imagined I'd be able to play, I am now strumming away at comfortably and fluidly in just over 20 minutes. You sir are a highly effective and enjoyable teacher. Thank you!
12 years later still legendary tutorial thank you !

Gareth Evans, not only are u amazing at guitar but you are also an amazing teacher!!!!!!!

Got this and Keep Your Head Up down to a tee and I'm well chuffed. Thanks so much! Merry Christmas!
This is 8 years old and you are still helping people like me learn one of my favorite songs. Thank you so much!
yeahh that's so right, even 11 years later! truly enjoyable
love the way you teach. Enough make it clear but not overkill and treating us like we've never picked up a guitar before. Way to know your audience
You're a great teacher man! Like others have said, you present all the information we need to know in a clear and logical way and don't just expect us to know. Thank you very much for taking the time to share your knowledge with us.

I didn't think a noon like me would ever be able to play a Ben Howard song. Thank you!
Wow, THANK YOU for this! It was perfectly clear and I learned it real fast. Now I just have to practice and get used to linking the different parts more quickly. Great tutorial, thanks again!
Thanks for the great lesson. At the last minute, this was requested for me to play at a wedding tomorrow. Thanks for the slow, detailed, lesson. You ROCK!!!

Yes it was but I pulled it off thanks to you :) It was in the mountains and very beautiful.
Thanks for this easy to follow tutorial. Really great job, my friend.
