The fingerpicking patterns aren’t too demanding to play with the right hand however, the tempo is quite fast and you may struggle getting it consistent throughout the whole piece. The intro is very similar to the verse only with some subtle (and very effective) nuances between them. So before you do anything, make sure you get that changed or you’re sure to get very angry. The first thing to watch out for when learning Keep Your head Up is the tuning, Howard tunes the B string down to A and the high E string down to D. He got a lot of radio play on popular stations in 2011/12 and it was great to have a talented fingerpicker getting the recognition he deserved. 46 in the UK charts. This is a fantastic song and I personally have to say it was very refreshing to have an artist like this become mainstream in today’s world. ![]() The song became his second single from the album after ‘The Wolves’ and reached no. Keep Your Head Up was written by English singer-songwriter Ben Howard in 2011 and appears on his debut album ‘Every Kingdom’. ![]()
