    I'm 64 years old and picked up the guitar for the first time 10 months ago, I have been watching your videos religiously and have learned baby I love your way and I've almost learned tin man! My biggest problem in learning this song was making the change back to g major 7, my pinky finger just did not want to come back up with the other three fingers but I've stuck with it and now making the change but not as smooth as you but I know I will with practice...thank you so much sir for these videos I've been through some tough times and now I have music to keep me company...God bless you and yours.

    I'd have to say Andy is the most accurate teacher on the WEB. He always goes far and above to bring the learner the best teaching experiences here. Once you've experienced his teaching you won't be satisfied with other teachers. Many times it's just the little nuances that are different but those little nuances are what make it correct as opposed to average or wrong. Learn from the best.

      Careful not to limit yourself to only the music he teaches. I agree with you in some sense, if there’s a song I want to learn and Shut Up and Play is one of the many channels with a tutorial on it, I like you choose to go with his lessons. Learning songs taught by him can also introduce to new music you haven’t heard as well!

    I’ve been trying to learn this song since I started playing 11 months ago. This is, by far, the best teaching tutorial on how to play this song. He moves at a nice even pace, and you can clearly see what he’s doing, thanks to the dark background. He did a great job explaining the arpeggios at the end of the song. Count me in as a new subscriber.

      I love your instruction, you take the time to explain. Your playing is unbelievable. I know most of the chords, have been playing since 1974 when I got out of the service. I'm retired now and living on a fixed income, but I promise that soon, I'll make a donation because you are so worth it. I wish I could pay you weekly but for me it's just not in the cards, but to me, you are the best teacher on CZcams and people that learn from you should be making a donation. A lot of people ask what you play, I'm pretty sure it's a Taylor. I'm playing a Takamine EG334 SC. I use elixir custom lights. I'm curious as to what type and what gauge strings you use. Thank you for all that you do and to me, you are the greatest.

      Please make sure you read right to the bottom-From danfhoule@gmail.com. Been playing rhythm for many years self taught. Good singer have been asked to sing but a grandfather of 5 and 40 years married no time for bands.
      You are the best teacher I have come accross to really be able to correct myself on things you are right on- to challenge myself to break old habits to play the song right the way you strive to do. Thank you for taking the time
      to teach us the right way. I have strived to have the time to practice enough to play a decent lead. I have the voice
      for America thats why I want it right on the guitar. Again thank you not many would take the time to share your talent but you do and it is greaterly appreciated. I Cor, 13-read down a few versus and Paul defines real charity-first quality-Kindness. Thanks again-Please continue to add those great songs and how to play them like the original.

    I’ve been playing this for over 30 years and you got it exactly right as I know it. The only difference I play is the verse. I play the Gmaj7 and Cmaj7 off the bottom 4 strings sliding up from the 3rd fret to the Cmaj7 at the 8th fret. I like the higher pitch the chorus transitions to playing off the top strings.

      Hi Irvin. I ALWAYS do a complete demo of any song I teach. For copyright reasons, sometimes they're in a separate video. In fact I spent many hours recording my Tin Man demo, programming the drums, playing the bass etc..The best place to take in my content is on my website. If there are multiple videos they're all together on the same page: www.shutupandplay.ca/tin-man--acoustic.html Cheers, Andy.

    Excellent video. I enjoy all of them. Back in the day we had to sit down with the record and try and figure it our on our own and it was not easy. Today you just check on CZcams.
    Another thing. These songs like America showcased here--those songs were ARTISTIC COMPOSITIONS by extremely talented people unlike the talent mocking buffoons on the airwaves today. Each group back then was so unique in style and technique it inspired
    you to learn and adopt their style. It was the hallmark of excellence and musical sophistication. That is now gone now all we have today are great pretenders who need to find another form of employment!
