How To Play "Love Yourself" Exactly Like The Recording PART I - Justin Bieber, Easy Guitar Lesson

Details

Description

In this video we show you how to play the verse from Love Yourself by Justin Bieber (written by Ed Sheeran). This easy fingerstyle song uses a special 2-finger shape (the same one found in Blackbird) and a strum slap technique. It sounds great on electric or acoustic guitar.

"Love Yourself" Sheet Music/TAB no longer available due to copyright issues, but I have something even better!
