Passenger - Let Her Go | Guitar Lesson (Fingerpicking Intro & Chords Strumming) Tutorial 

After hours of practice, I can safely say that I finally managed to count to 7 and put capo on 7th fret. Looks good.

I’m gonna let this one go

When i was 12 yo i said one day i’m gonna learn this. And i’m here after 4 years i’m here and I did it. Thank you

Me, who just bought my guitar today: Let's learn this as my first song because it sounds cool My guitar looking at me: So you have chosen death

I’m about to slam my head through my guitar

I’m gonna be able to play this effortlessly one day.

dunno if anyone will see this, but 6 yrs ago when this was first uploaded, I thought I could never play as flawless as this, but now it's been 2 yrs since I've last played the guitar. I picked it up and attempted to play this again, and muscle memory didn't fail me. I could now play this flawlessly. So for those starting, don't give up. It's very worth it. I was once in your shoes too and I sucked, but now I can play this even without looking at the strings :)

lets just be honest: this guy really makes you learn

The 'her' in let her go is ur thumb

This guy gave me an inspiration to sell my guitar.

I've been playing guitar for 25 years and I know the secret to playing the fingerpicking intro of this song. Never remove your index finger from the first fret of the b string. It's the anchor that all the chord patterns revolve around.

I don’t understand why anyone would give a thumbs down to any of his videos. You are by far one of the best guitar teachers on the Internet. I tried to learn this solo from other teachers with no luck. You take your time with each section and are very clear about right and left hand technique. Your playing is amazing. Thank you so very much.

I feel like my thumb gained an abs after watching this video

Capo on 7th fret *Intro Parts* Preview: 0:00 Part 1: 1:50 Part 2: 7:37 Part 3: 12:22 Part 4: 17:12

I'm just learning to play guitar and I'm amazed on what a wholesome community it is! The comments are so supportive and filled with helpful tidbits. Great job to the creator and my love to the guitar community!

FINALLY AFTER 3 HOURS I'VE COMPLETED THE SECOND PART!

Me on first step: oh that was easy On the second step with tumb: oH fUcK

Easy guys, practices make perfect. I also feel the same when first time played. Play everyday & slowly practices. Trust me, in 2 weeks you can see your improvement. Good luck.

Thumb *Exists* This song: *I’m about to end this mans whole career*

I started guitar about three months ago, I've been practicing for about 3-5 hours everyday and I can finally play this after about a week

Guitars have a specific smell and I can smell his guitar.

for anyone who’s learning this trust me keep going it gets easier and easier took me collectively two solid weeks worth of practice YOU GOT THIS💕 +to the creator you’re an amazing teacher tysm!!

Yesterday I nearly gave up on this song...but I kept going and it’s only the next day and I can play through this whole riff! Obviously not as fast as the original track but don’t give up guys it’s worth it!

started learning this 3 days ago, I'm going to try to give updates every day! Day 1- learnt the first bar, my fingers were shredded as I'm using an electric guitar (its all I have atm) Day 2- learnt first 3 bars, lots of practising. My fingers just feel bruised at the moment but I'm really enjoying it! Day 3- Nothing new really, played quite a lot, learnt another easier song, just going over it at 0.5x speed, then 0.75, then full speed. Day 4- My fingers don't hurt! Well, not as badly. Finally finished all 4 bars and now its just practice practice practice. I'm trying to get rid of those awkward gaps between each section as i find the chord position. I also need to improve accuracy, making sure each note rings clear. I love this way of playing so so much, my brother played it to me which is what made me want to learn and I just think its one of the prettiest sounds I've ever heard. It makes me feel like I am home. (background information) I have played piano seriously for 5 years, and recently picked up ukulele and learnt a few songs on that. Before 4 days ago I have never played a guitar before, so if I can do it, a complete beginner- SO CAN YOU!!

It's very easy... To watch the vdo

Is it just me or is there a new bone in my thumb?

Mannnn😣....how nice it would be if he's still with us here...and teaches us all the new songs like this!!!😞... Everytime i watch his tutorial videos....I'm missing him so much💯

“If you feel like giving up, think about why you started”... -Sum drunk uncle across the street..

Him: **puts his thumb on the E string easily** Me and my 1 inches long hand: h-how ?

Rip thumb

A little over a year ago, I performed at my school's talent show, and this song was in the setlist. I would like to say thank you for posting guitar tutorials, especially this video. My classmates really liked the show, and a video is posted on my channel if anyone is interested. You can tell they are impressed when I play this song. If you are currently watching this tutorial, I wish you luck. It is not easy, but if I can do it, you can too.

been playing for 20 years with rock/punk focus, dust in the wind, plain white tees, and hotel california as the extent of my finger picking adventures, this was a challenge - a lot of breaks for frustrating finger placements/transitions that I'm not use to, but day 2 I have the basic scope of the song, now on to refining the flow and making sure the root notes ring. Anyone coming in here as a beginner, its just as hard for us experienced folks so keep at it and thank you for the detailed video

capo on 7 my thumb is in heaven

Jesus Christ this guy must peel coconuts with his bare hands my thumbs are about to fall off

Progress Day 1: 4:48 Day 2: 4:55 Day 3: 6:38 Day 4: 7:02

It only happened 1 year of buying my first guitar and i wanted to learn this song and today i made it!!! 🎉 guys never give up on your dream😊

Honestly it's a good and thorough tutorial, but sometimes i just wish you somehow better displayed what you were saying, when you stumble on on saying 2nd string 4th fret and correct yourself in the middle or something like that, its easy to get lost, ive been rewinding this trying to learn the whole thing for over a week now, im really thankful for this

For the ppl with small hands that struggle with the thumb in the intro just play open 5th string instead. It doesn’t sound the exact same but pretty close to it

This is to myself to practice 07:11 07:41 10:50 11:22 11:45 Whole 1 and 2: 12:03 14:08 15:27 16:30 1, 2 and 3: 16:50 Whole: 18:49

This video deserves more than just a like! You saved so many people's energy by creating a perfect tutorial. This is precious, thank you🙏

Something I recommend for any guitarists struggling (this applies to all songs). If you’re struggling with a specific part, take your time and practice only that part before moving on to the next part. This sounds simple but it will help you sound better when you know how to play each part separately until you can join them as a song. Hope this helps.

“Thumbs” up if you’ve been waiting for the part 2 Please post a part 2

Learning this on my acoustic: great explanation, note-for-note, break-down, and patience. -Great tutorial!

Thanks for uploading this video I am new to playing guitar I play left handed and it's taken me a few weeks to master this and I finally got it to sound clean. Thanks mate.

after weeks of watching this. i finally mastered it

I watched this Video then I bought my guitar 2 days later. At first I struggled to learn this piece, but I kept on practicing and never gave up. It took me more than a month to learn this piece.... THAT WAS 4 YEARS AGO. Now this song is part of my 12 song set at my gig. NEVER STOP DREAMING. THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS TOO LATE! LEARN WHILE YOU STILL CAN, NEVER GIVE UP.

Thankyou sirrr , this is the best teacher of guitar tutorial in RU-vid so far, learning more and more each day by watching your video .

This is straight up the best guitar tutorial I’ve ever seen, thank you so much!

You're definitely one of the best guitar tutors on your tube. Your explanation is so clear its unbelievable. Keep it up. Amazing skills.

BE PATIENT. Learn it a section at a time, after 2 weeks of practice I've just played this through twice and it feels amazing.

Thankyou for such a great lesson now just by some more practice I will be able to play this song..

Thanks for the great lesson! I got this down in a week after a lot of practice. You made it very easy and simple to follow, great teaching!

My thumb feels like it’s been shut in a car door.

Probably one of the best tutorials ever on this song!

This guy is awesome, he puts so much time into these videos

Thank you for this still new to playing the guitar but I was able to get all the parts memorized and I’m currently still perfecting the whole sequence to get it up to normal speed but this is a huge accomplishment for me. Just started playing around 2 months ago!! Love the videos keep em coming!!!😉😉👏👏❤️🎶

My thumb is physically breaking trying to get it on that first fret...lol

Thank you so much!)I had learned this song whole 3 months, and did't learn it, but when I had find your video, I suddenly remember everything, thank you, you did my day)))

This was insanely easy because of how you teach it. Love it! Keep it up my dude!

For those of you having a hard time with the thumb placement, tune the 6th string up one and you no longer need to use your thumb at all. It's a night and day difference. So much easier. You'll just have to adjust accordingly for the other part of the song that uses the 6th string but that's easy.

I can do the finger picking part...at the speed of -200

This made me cry .. I went through a loss this week.. let her go ♥

Thanks instruction was super accurate and at a good pace. Enjoyed this one a lot. Really fun part to play with.

Beautiful,the best song i learned so far on guitar

thank u for making this guitar tutorial of My favorite song Let her go ....now I have learned and L can play it ...thank you

Back when i started learning the guitar 2 years ago i tried this song and i couldnt learn it for the life of me. It was so hard i wanted to break my guitar. After playing for 2 years or so (mainly electric) I decided to come back to this song. Learned it in 20 minutes. It might not be for you now but dont think that youll never learn it. Just take a break and go learn a few new songs then come back to it when youre better equiped in your guitar technique and you will learn it eventually. To get my thumb more used to being used I actually started playing a lot of songs with my thumb. I actually learned how to play all of master of puppets using my thumb on the low string whenever possible. This song was a breeze and i barely felt it at all coming back to it. Just take any simple song, like even the bass part of heart and soul, and just try playing it with your thumb instead.

Thank you Sir. I've just learnt the basic of this song's intro already and your teaching improves it. :)

Bro I played it and can say after half an hour that I can do the first part relatively okay I don't give up even if I felt like I broke my thumb seventeen times. Thank you very much for the good tutorial.

That intro is so beautiful and melodious, Love it. Also I just hope that you're doing well and this is just an unusually long break you're taking from RU-vid.

Well I’m glad to announce, after a long painful (mostly for the thumb) process, I have finally completely learned how to play this song. It’s possible so just keep at it! Just imagine how impressed people will be when you play this for them

I learned this song today , and i'm playing it as a tribute to the best fingerstyle guitar teacher on youtube. Thanks Mr let'sPlayGuitar

I finally LEARNed it Thanku bro I wish where ever u are U r happy 🤧

finally after 2 years m able to play it cleanly... it was a long journey... guys ... play it with patients

those who have problem with the thumb, try playing other songs like ”free fallin” this helped me alot so this was kinda easy for me

I can play this perfectly after a week, thanks! for anyone who's learning, I know you can do it too!

Song so fire, it's making his strings glow red! 🔥

I'm in love with this guy's masterpieces. Keep it up man!!

Thank you for making such a perfect lesson, please continue teaching us XD

I really enjoy learning these stuff its been years since i wanted to play by my own and now i finally mastered it thank u soo much for uploading such video it means alot to me 😁😁😊

Nobody : Subtitles at 0:22 : YOU.

Hey man. Thanks, learned a lot. Part 2 though is private and really want to learn the rest

Thanks for the lesson! Always wanted to learn it, but just decided to three days ago. Now I have it memorized, just need to connect the parts a little better. Cheers!

In about one month, now I’m able to play it perfectly and fluid! THANK YOU, YOU'RE SO KIND AND YOUR VIDEOS ARE VERY HELPFUL! 💙

rip thumb 2019

This is my best fingerstyle thank u so much for your tutorials I learned this song in just 2 days🤗

Your channel has inspired me to take my own guitar tutorial channel to the next level. I do play-along sing-along songs from all genres and decades, chords, strumming and lyrics. Keeping it simple. Thanks for the inspiration. Cheers. 🎸👍👏👏👏

I don't know when you're going to see this, but pls, the 2nd part is private. I need that part. I've finished this already. You can't do this to me man.

The neck of my guitar is too short to be able to wrap my thumb around like that, so I just tune the 6th string up one, and play the rest of the intro accordingly (so if I need to play the 3rd fret on 6th string, I would place my finger on 2nd fret). Works fine and sounds cleaner if you can't get your thumb around!

Thanks man just finished learning this video as my first song. Very helpful!

You gave a great lesson! Very well explained. Soon, I will learn this thanks to you!! :)

Finally finished studying this song after like 2 weeks 😕🥳🥳

To anyone who's saying this tutorial is "confusing" or "hard to follow", I'm gonna have to disagree. This guy is going as SLOW AND SIMPLE as possible. He's not speaking in music theory, and he's re-iterating the steps OVER AND OVER, VERY SLOW. This is an absolute BEGINNER's guitar tutorial. I hate to say it, but if you're confused, just get better. It's not the fault of this tutorial if you can't follow.

Omg the first time i watched this video i think it would be impossible for me to play this intro, but in few days i manage to learned this bcz of ur great tutorial, i will learn the part 2 of ur video, THANKS A LOT WHEREVER YOU ARE, GREATEST TEACHER EVER ❤️🤘🤘🙌

2 hours and i got this hard to see but easy to learn thanks a lot.

Thank you so much Hitting the like button for this is so small. I would have invited you for dinner for such beautiful tutorial . Thank you

Great tutorial and its freaking hard lol!

I am adding my second comment. Once again this teacher is amazing and thank you. Now that I have been practicing this song for a few days now I am convinced I may through my guitar under a bus. I can learn Travis Picking but this song has my brain and fingers fighting like hell. I’m not sure what it is but based on other comments I am in good company. I’m not giving up. Oh Lordy help me🤪

A very thoughtful & easy to follow tutorial. Thanks man.
