Thanks for the great lesson, Andy!

[@paulhill1379]

Another great video Andy and a nother great song

[@K1R4D]

Wonderful tutorial on one of my all time favorite songs.
Interesting little tidbit: when you watch live footage of Blue Öyster Cult playing this song, Donald "Buck Dharma" Roser plays it down-up-down-up. Once I tried it like that, it felt easier than what is basically a "slow rake" of the strings.

[@RoanFair]

Brilliant lesson -- many thanks!! 😃👍🎸

[@lindabeeston7408]

I discovered this song when I was young in the video game « Ripper » with Christopher Walken one of the npc.
It stayed in my head

[@user-gd2rt6ku1i]

Wow.. ❤❤❤

[@cemlas]

Great song and tutorial! Can you also do a tutorial for Acoustic version of Psycho Killer by Talking Head (David Byrne)? Thanks in advance

[@keithhunt4475]

I wonder if Andy NEVER does a play-through to avoid headaches about copyright. It makes it easier to understand the transitions if we see how sections stitch together. See them as lesson 'pieces'; it is easier to learn the section, but without the playthrough, it seems hard to smoothly put them together. An example would be nice.

[@stenmark66]

Great lesson! How about some Rory Gallagher songs? Bad Penny,Moonchild,Bullfrog blues. Please!!!

[@rajkumarchainde6746]

(MAHOLLLLLLLL) AWESOME 👍👍👍👍

[@toggg0]

[@lakeeriebrawler1764]

More cow bell!

[@pinekingsoft]

This is brilliant, although "needs more cowbell!"

[@J.D_YT]

Burning for you, Godzilla, Dont fear the reaper.

[@robertbuckley2429]

This song is my favourite one-hit wonder by Blue Öyster Cult. The chord progression of this song was even reused in the Dodgy song "Staying Out for the Summer". ❤Thanks Andy! This will be a good song that I would like to play on (6 or 12-string) guitar and my fiancee on keyboard following "Disarm" by The Smashing Pumpkins and "Songbird" by Oasis Great session!

[@gomezthechimp1116]

Well, two hits; the other one was Godzilla

[@kevinflynn4519]

Burning for You ,also charted

[@robertbuckley2429]

Two hits@@gomezthechimp1116? I didn't know that Blue Öyster Cult had another hit called "Godzilla" until you've found it.

[@bobbybergdoll4377]

Dominance and Submission.

[@ebberwock8408]

Many hits. ME262

[@GMec78]

But where is your cowbell

[@thesushifiend]

Why is there an apostrophe in arpeggios but not in chords? Are you a greengrocer?

[@Guitar0398]

Hello Andy thanks for all the lessons there great
Any chance you good do a lesson for jailbird by primal scream.
