Love Yourself Guitar Tutorial

Welcome to my Love Yourself Guitar Tutorial 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 Chords: They are all 2-finger chords and the symbols look really crazy (F#m, B/D#) but the chords themselves couldn’t be any easier!

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

FULL PLAY-THROUGH (entire song, start to finish) available on my Patreon page:

A percussive slap technique is used to make that “smack” sound on the guitar. Here is a video where we go over this technique in detail, along with practice tracks and diagrams.

This is Part I, where we show the verse. If you want to learn to play the pre-chorus (My mama don’t like…) and Chorus (so if you like the way…) check out Part II
