    I am studying your lessons for this song, Lindsay Buckingham, Jimmie Page, Scorpions, etc. It is such a blessing that you have taken time to post them. Your talent and style are phenomenal, and the results are great lessons, and magical musical experiences. Thank you so much for posting!

    Excellent lesson. No-nonsense. Great camera angle, shows both hands, not a lot of panning and cutting, just a good, hard-core "this is how you play it" video. My favorite. Thanks very much!

  • @abejacgot
    @abejacgot Před 7 lety +7

    A pleasure to listen and learn from you, as I appreciate the "theory" you throw in explaining the derivation of some of the sounds. For me, that adds value to the lesson aside from learning this beautiful song. Many thanks!

  • @Cirocoleman
    @Cirocoleman Před 7 lety +6

    Thank heavens for CZcams and thank heaven for people like yourself that take time out to put tutorials together. Learning a song the old way by 'ear' would have taken me an eternity so cheers for another lesson learnt!!

    I've gotta tell ya Andy that all of the acoustic song lessons you've posted on your CZcams Channel has been very well received at my shows. I've always been a stiggler for medleys - even my own original songs. So far, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Fleetwood Mac, etc. have been received with great applause and appreciation from my audiences. I'm looking forward to adding this one to one of my sets. Thank you so much Andy!

  • @bdizzle715
    @bdizzle715 Před 7 lety +6

    phenomenal song! I tremendously appreciate lessons like this. very clear. I like the string and fret callouts like G4, D3, E2, etc... so much better and clearer than traditional '3rd string, 4th fret' method. many, many thanks! great job! I was intimidated by trying to learn this song,but after finding this video I'm going for it! :-)

  • @MarcHalikas_surfercook

    That F#13 is a perfect example of proper four party harmony jazz voicing. I know this because I had lessons a LONG time ago from an amazing instructor named Harry Leheigh. Great tutorial btw, also ur Purple Rain tutorial was excellent.

  • @antheamason1651
    @antheamason1651 Před 2 lety

  • @allancrow134
    @allancrow134 Před 5 lety +1

    It is an awesome song and I totally agree it will find its place in the classic American songbook. A few years back I managed to pick up an ear version of this song using a flat pick, the occasional finger, and no capo. My other half likes to sing it and insisted I learn it...and I really had to work at it. When I was figuring it out I caught the descending chromatic...and worked around that....very observant of you to point that out. Thanks for great break down. I'm going to search CZcams to find the Jesse Harris version. :)

  • @shepaluteprez
    @shepaluteprez Před rokem +1

    Excited to find your video. I heard the Pat Metheny version when researching guitars, one of my passions. Pat’s version has that incredible base because he had a specially made baritone guitar which he played exclusively on his album, One Quiet Night.
    The guitar is said to be so unique that it’s changing the standard for baritone guitars.

    Great lesson on this song... Thank you hugely for this. I've wanted to learn it and you've made it approachable with your amazing tutorial! By the way, Jesse Harris wrote 4 songs off Norah's "Come Away With Me" debut album, and he co-wrote with Norah on "The Long Day Is Over".

  • @arklowrockz

    Hey, i want to express my gratitude for your great lessons. It´s truly inspirational to see such dedication and skill. I was wondering if you´re planning to do some Rory Gallagher, he is one of my favourite guitarists but sadly there are no quality lessons of his music on youtube.

  • @milesthemelonator
    @milesthemelonator Před 4 lety +1

    thought this was going to be a lot easier to learn than it was to be honest! with the descending bass it sounds like blackbird so i thought it would be of a similar difficulty but was mistaken. Despite that, this video does a really good job of teaching it, well done
