is he using martin D28 or D35?
May 2024. Still waiting for this song to be released. I love Ben for being true to the music he wants to release, but the world would be a better place If I could hear a finished version of this lol.
Since Ben isn’t going to give it to us, I wish someone could tab it out for us others to play on guitar
I learned. . . More like, am learning because, I am learning new stuff constantly, to play guitar as an adult. Ben's music is some of the most fun to learn and enjoyable to play. Some of his chords can be a stretch for me.
I live in Alaska and drag my poor raggedy guitar everywhere. There is something life affirming about standing on a dock and playing Old Pine as the sun breaks the horizon.
I don't know why the vibration of his songs travel through my body mind and soul differently than other musicians. It fits me like a pair of great jeans.
Has this been released as anything?
Tuning anyone?
'Just this one little technique' … plays like a God
How talented do you need to be?? To be saying "This is just something I was f**king around with yesterday" and the `fuckery` is a masterpiece itself with such a dominant sound that would blow everyones mind off at the campfire.
This is truely one of the best artists this generation have ever seen (if not the best)!
2022 still waiting for this to drop
Been waiting 10 years for this song to come out
i posted a vid with the tabs if anyone's interested
You, karine polwart, Dougie Maclean, Runrig, and of monsters and men are who’ve inspired me to relearn guitar after a head injury during a seizure. Thank you for sharing your music with the world.
Yo, this is the draft for "End of the Affair". Listen to the second part of the song, the pickings are resemblance of this piece, but the delays made it hard to spot. Check out the acoustic cover of the song, u'll see what I mean.
It’s ridiculous how talented he is.
This makes me weep for all the unfinished Ben Howard song he never put out
God I need this song
Was this song ever released ?
wow mate . ????
Hey l music from the movie called go
Lyrics pls
So when is this song out? im still waiting
He's so good that it's almost unbelievable. His ability to marry the words with that guitar is so cool. Anyone have the tabs?
Plays something totally gorgeous unique, authentic that sound like nothing else you hear around "Heh I was just fucking around with that yesterday".. HAHAHA What a legend
are there any tutorials for this? I come back to this like every 4-5 months for years and years and still hope we get a full release one day, but I doubt he recorded it and is in a completely different direction now!
Lyrics:
Show me darkness.
Show me restlessness.
Show me all good inside.
Show me the best of you.
Show me where you put (pour) your love in.
Show me where you pour it out.
Show me how you got me down on my knees.
(Now lift?) me up
This is my best attempt.
He said this song is on the scrap heap think he has forgotten how to play it as well
Genuis
Haunting
Please let the full version be on the upcoming album ????
I am still holding out hope that this song will be on the new album!!
Did he recorded this ?
That Song is haunting.
the amount of talent that this guy has is ridiculous. who else is watching this in Nov/2020?
This isn’t actually that hard to play by the way guys! Bantham Legend did a tutorial (I felt he complicates it more than what it actually is in some aspects even) but the pick and go is essentially just keeping a beat with a strum. Bass – 2 – strum, bass – 2 strum (say it to the rhythm of this song)
I'm gonna check back every day till Ben makes this a song.
Oh I need to try out this technique for my project! Lovely sounds and lovely voice as always Ben. Just wau
Every time I end up here I wonder how much he has kept for himself. Maybe for the best…
"This is just something I was mucking around with yesterday" – Nails the most beautiful song…
Anyone wanna guess the tuning?
When most people play the guitar it sounds great, great piece of music. But when this guy plays, it's like the guitar sings. It has its own way.
Anyone else watch this once a week? .. absolutely brilliant talent.
