    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'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

    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

    I absolutely love this song and I've been playing guitar for years, so I wanted to learn how to play it. UA-cam 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.

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

  • @ArtbyAtlas
    @ArtbyAtlas 3 роки тому +2

    Is it just me, or does the song sound "happier" and less moody when it's strummed instead of finger-picked? Really goes to show how the details can change the feel and concept of a song!

    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.
