    My then 8 year old son now 21 used to ask: "Dad, can we hear 'I do not know how to get all the way back to my house?" It remains a favorite for both of us to this day.

    The song has a haunting sound to it . Kinda lonely too. Makes you think about how short life really is. Look at each day as a blessing giving thanks to God for it. Always look on the bright side 😊

      Subbed after 2 Bars. A great lick, I love the tune, but it's either the bridge or verse, when not accompanied by vocals is missing something. The Fireplace version is my favorite as well..

    I've been playing Guitar on and off for 40 Years, and I've always picked up the fine details from you. It's all in the details, once again thank you for playing and paying attention to details. I've been watching you since day one and my playing has vastly improved. Patience, trusting in what is difficult is the only truth we have left.
    Thank you, and for those that don't subscribe or don't send a donation to this artist, kick it into gear. Teaching of this quality is hard to find and it takes a lot of time and effort.

      Totally relate! Back in the day I had to write down lyrics, mostly from the radio. I painstakingly listened to songs in order to figure them out. At age 62, I love CZcams which has me now playing much more correctly. Shut Up and Play is my number one go to! Thx

Andy is a highly educated man in the music industry, I mean he went a college in California that teaches only guitar. I agree 100% with you brother

    It is rare to find a "tutorial" instructor on youtube who is master of the both the process of TEACHING (in an interesting and extremely effective method) as well as an elite PERFORMER of their craft, which is exactly what ShutUp and Play offers. I have learned some of my all time favorites from these lessons, from Floyd, to Santana to Dire Straights. Keep them coming.

    .I can't thank you enough. I think everyone should donate you and that's what I'm about to do.]
    Also, when I'll have my own credit card and I won't have to relay on my parents, expect monthly support.

Your easy laid back approach truly makes it feel like a one on one face to face lesson.This past week you covered an absolute gem.Two versions to this song and this one truly has the honesty you have spoken about another song you covered once before. I love this version .The guitar is so rich and as always you don't leave anything out. I thank you so very much for your efforts.I hope others are donating so that we can expect to keep hearing and seeing from you .Besides it is very cool to be able to sit down and pull a song like this out of ones play list.Thanks again Andy,..Jeff

    Not only forward backward picking in the 8 minute part but mixing in up strokes and down strokes at times. Complex but very worth it for the sound and effect that comes out of it.
