I LOVE this song. Beautifully played, sir! I will be learning this one until I’m playing it in my sleep-takes me back to a great time.

Welcome back! This community is graced again with your talents and kindness for sharing your musical soul to us mortals! You have been greatly missed and we’re all hoping your health is in good stead. Thank you again for your mentoring.

[@gvrussell9230]

I was fortunate enough to hear some of this being recorded in Memphis at American Studio back in the early 70s. The musicians were the "Memphis Boys", including the great Reggie Young on guitar. The studio was in it's winding down days and it was like an analogy for all the great musicians leaving Memphis for Nashville and LA.

[@jimcrowell5093]

Good to see you Andy I've loved and played this tune in solo venues in years gone by❤✌tutorial is spot on bro 🎸

[@batenich]

So grateful for this. My 21 year old son shared this song with me and here’s a tutorial from one of the best instructor out there! I learned Rain Song and several others from this Chanel - now here’s another great tutorial.

[@leeseoWestport]

I really liked this song back in the days. The way you play and explain makes me love the song.

[@davidgilmour9447]

More dude we've missed you.

[@jelau4851]

This song projects such a powerful Sad Emotion, it can be felt from the beginning to the end, this is a rare fact. It is one super Song, Thanks to you Andy for showing us how it is performed, my guess is a lot of people were subconcially waiting for such a demonstration. Cheers to you.

[@lnhislmage]

Ha yep if you don’t like this one then you must have something wrong with you! Kinda takes me back to a better place and time.

[@jelau4851]

@@lnhislmage You got me Wrong completely, I do love this song more than any other, believe me , I was simply talking about this huge emotional strike, this song projects, nothing negative about it.

[@blackers0665]

Lovely to see you back! I hope you are alright and feeling better then ever! When I saw the KZbin notification I thought it was a trick of my mind but you are really back! I'm so glad, thank you for this tutorial, lovely song. Kinda hoping you do more Greg Lake tutorial (because you have the sweetest way to play them) such a The Sage or maybe Watching Over You or Lend Yoir Love To Me Tonight!

[@justsomeguy1074]

Andy, I've been watching your videos for several years and just donated to your website today! We share similar tastes in music and I enjoy every video. I've been playing for years and can usually figure songs out on my own but I appreciate the details you offer. I have owned many guitars over the years but recently bought a Taylor 314ce and want to learn some more songs from you. Thanks again and keep picking!

[@gabrieleflannery6504]

Thank you, thank you, thank you!! So happy to see you're back. 🎶🎵🎶

[@davehardy9555]

New subscriber! I'm glad Claude requested it too. I was 11 in 72 and I've always loved that song. Thanks for doing it.

[@ellenrik]

Hey that's a very nice rendition. I too have recently rediscovered this song. Thanks for sharing. That's worth my subscription for sure.

[@lukaszszymczak1]

Thx very much, love from Poland

[@aman4allseasons100]

Thanks so much for this tutorial. I found your channel a while ago, working on your tutorials has really improved my playing (e.g., meeting the challenge of "Never Going Back Again" was a real turning point for me). So every once in a while I'd play around with the Goodtime Charlie melody but was not really satisfied - your tutorial clarified the arrangement - combining the recorded version with a live performance was a really cool idea - well done as usual

[@markwilfong1109]

Excellent Andy. So great to see you back🎉

[@alexgamber3524]

Very Happy your back carry on mate

[@artprince9163]

This has always been one of my favorite songs. Mr. O’Keefe is a forgotten master song writer.

[@mark3DLinkscom]

You song choices to teach are so aligned with my tastes it’s almost scary.

[@peterpedersen1641]

Very nice... When I met my wife, she played this song with me on evening, her showing me she new it. She has a different way of picking it out, but hey, she learned it 30 some years ago and it's her recollection of it. Thanks for doing this. Though I am afraid to show her she isn't correct in a couple of things. LOL... I'll pick this up and play it and see what she says. Hmmmm. Thanks for another amazing lesson. I'll be sending in another support amount to you as soon as I can.

[@billymac72]

Welcome back! Looking forward to more.

[@permculture]

Great, clear, concise lesson, I will repeat I am sure. Muchos Thanks amigo!

[@davegmarti]

I wasn’t aware of this great song. Will be worth the time to learn to play it.

[@johnjdevincentisjr.5331]

Jesus! I was hoping you'd teach this.. dame nice stuff

[@jj-uk]

Best news ever - you're back!

[@wthomas869]

A couple of suggestions for future episodes - maybe you like them? Spooky by Atlanta Rhythm Section Carnival by Natalie Merchant (Jennifer Turner on guitar)

[@pauloneill7939]

What a lovely piece that i wasnt aware of, thanks for this.

[@Obsidianus]

so glad to see a new lesson from you :)

[@Lowdenjim]

Great tutorial - many thanks for this! The reference to "Travis-pick" is a curious one - it's not possible to achieve the nuanced picking in this song if you only use your thumb and 1st finger (the way Merle Travis always played)

[@petercontarino646]

Great Andy thank you!

[@SummerofKittyLove]

Hope you’re feeling better! Not a huge country fan myself. Will you please do a tutorial on Silver Wheels? Thank$!

[@BB-cf9gx]

Best ever. Excellent. Thanks.

[@emil3709]

Very nice song. Thanks for the tutorial. I first heard the Waylon Jennings version of it, which is a bit different.

[@david25876]

Thx Andy. Great song.

[@andrejserafimovski6442]

incredible song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@JohnDriver-k8y]

Please do more Danny !?! >>Thanx Ya'll >>>>> J D

[@Northyorkspaul]

[@vallesvaldez]

Great song! Is there any way you can do a tutorial for "Len Brown Society - Going nowhere". I just can't seem to get it by ear.

[@robinerdakos]

Thank you for all your content over the years, is there any chance you know the song Careless by Stephen Bishop? I know you said you don't normally take requests haha but I found this song recently and ive been trying to learn it. Would love a tutorial from the best!

[@21mivan]

Thank you very much for your lessons, what brand and model is your guitar?

[@daveclevenger9210]

By far the most articulate and accurate guitar teacher on youtube. I've learned much from you Andy. You've taken me from campfire strummer to a higher place on my guitar journey. At 65 years of age I'm playing better than I ever have in large part to your tutoring. Thank you. Your life and love for teaching guitar is making a difference for so many out here. Praying for you and your continued health improvements. Gods best to you and yours. 🙏❤

[@martinkrajcovic7430]

We are so glad to see new lessons from you, Andy. We hope you are getting well. Thanks for your amazing tutorials, and for your time.

[@bw12765]

Welcome back Andy! So glad you are doing better. You are the best teacher on KZbin! Excellent lesson.

[@renecents]

Elvis does an incredible and very moving version of this song, kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJyXloSKi7OHl9k And welcome back Andy. KZbin hasn’t been the same without you. 👏👏👏

[@Dylmurray]

Nice to see you back in black Andy!

[@AbbeyRoadkill1]

I'd also forgotten about this song! Great tune, simple but powerful. Somehow it got lost amongst my memories of a million other great '70s songs. Man, music is like the universe- endless.

[@hazor777]

Dwight Yoakam recorded a cover of this song - great version . Not familiar with the original, I’ll have to check it out- but a great progression, nonetheless! Great lesson , Andy - hope all is bright n shiny in your world!

[@jamesfyffe2610]

I was 10 when this song came out, A.m. radio..Plymouth station wagon… funny how a song can take you back. Thanks.

[@LP59GoldTop]

"Good-time Charle's got the blues." Man, this song takes me back. It was one of my father's faves...he's been gone since '04...and I miss our conversations. Thanks for sharing this Classic.

[@432b86ed]

My Dad felt the same way, but he was never much for conversation, when he was even around.

[@taossmith]

Lovely tune. I'd never heard it before.

[@Galahad27]

Never heard this one before, thank you for lesson. Maybe next time you'll do "Bird of Paradise" by Snowy White?

[@christianl9247]

He's back in black! And KZbin is a better place, because of that! It's hard to say anything that hasn't been said already about your work Andy... I did not know this song, but I knew I was going to get something out of the tutorial, as usual. And am I ever glad I swung by the channel today. Beside the incredible accuracy of your transcriptions, whichever the level of the piece, you always seem to capture and push the Feel of the songs accross...so Yah: thank you, thank you and thank you.

[@123logmeon]

Really like your lessons.. great playing and good shots of chord structure.. have directed many young players to your site…thnx!😊

[@lastofthe4horsemen279]

You have the absolute best ear for music and have always inspired me to keep reaching and thisvis one of my all time favorite bittersweet tunes.(Rosewood Bitters is another)

[@susangraham813]

You're back!!! We've all been wondering how you are and thinking about you. Wonderful tutorial, as always.

[@silkegrutzmacher9086]

Jippi, you' re back!!! I love your tutorials, they inspire me. Wish you the best, Andy 😊🖖

[@Guitaroverkill]

The beginning riff sounds like the beginning of Midnight Rider. Not gonna catch me no.

[@dereklarsen]

Man what a beautiful sounding guitar! And your playing is so crisp, clear and unmuddled. I Applaud You on Many Levels here. The Sound is to die for! Such a Great Song. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, playing and beautiful sound with us. I greatly miss the great guitarists of that era - JT's version of You've Got A Friend is my Request. So glad to see you perpetuating this kind of guitar virtuosity for the youngsters. GREAT STUFF! BTW Who are you?

[@dommirra5429]

Man how I can't wait till this Fetterman versus Oz shit is over

[@stevenhanson6057]

Like your comment on that chord. And the or those delays. We were walking in cotton. Excellent class

[@BraydenGeorge]

Again ur the best

[@BarneeFife]

Could you do ‘Third Rate Romance’ by The Amazing Rhythm Aces? Thanks!

[@OldBones33]

Take it easy during your recovery brother. We want you around for a long time. Allow me to request "Soulshine" (w/solo) by Warren Haynes, when you are feeling up to it.

[@ifoundthistoday]

Welcome back !!

Suggestion: What’s the matter baby by dire straits?? Love your accurate teachings btw!❤

[@guitarman9991]

Hey, have you ever considered "Let there be music" by Orleans? Thank you!

[@ludvanbeethoven1]

Any chance you could pleaaase do a tutorial of Johnny Cash’s Ain’t no grave?

[@peterk8909]

Man, your a beast. Great tune. But there's something about the way you play it. Can't say enough.

[@Hellboy11-11]

tysm for this tutorial, i like the way u teach and the calmness your voice has def earned a sub

[@jamespitman3357]

first couple of bars sound a bit like wings song Let em in - but of course the other way around time wise. Thanks for the tabs - they are great

[@aryaabhizaki4960]

Can you make tutorial Vermilion pt2 by Slipknot?

[@Abdou3406]

Listen please to the cool solo guitar of James Burton on Elvis album Good times

[@karambitpanther4361]

I really like Fretkillr's version of this song.

Is something wrong with his health ? Sorry to hear that ! Hope everything ok

Hi,what do you use as camera recording?

Good time Andy plays the blues

Damn i love this song

[@jimmanire3646]

Nice one. Thanks!

[@jamesrobertson3991]

Yes he’s not dead!

[@vincentlevitt]

great song

[@timkbt]

Danny ‘O was originally from Spokane WA. Spokane was a logging and railroad town. The song was written because the area was going through hard times back in the’60’s. The song is about people leaving town and moving to California. The crazy thing is today Spokane and the surrounding areas are loaded with people from Southern California who sold their homes for cash and then bought homes in Eastern WA. Thanks for posting this song. I could never figure out the C fingering. One of my most favorite songs of all time. Hal Ketchum does a great version as well

[@noname1st139]

No idea whom it is,but it's lovely, gotta a bit of a Simon & Garfunkel vibe to it,1 of my favourite picker's along with Lyndsey Buckingham

[@emilybrownmusicchannel588]

Thank you for the lesson. I have a bass/vocal cover of this, but want to learn to play on guitar. Really great lesson. Thank you!

[@jameslabs1]

Nice

[@truckerkevthepaidtourist]

Great See you back again Andy 👍🏻🤠🇨🇦🍁

[@capt.danieldavidson6291]

Hey Bro: I have admired your skill and humility for several years now, and I have always learned something from you that served as a catalyst for the Muse. I have been playing for over 55 years, and about 20-25 of that was on the Pro Tours. I still have several Albums of Original Material (no, not under my YT name) and a Member of SOCAN. In other words, suffice to say that “I know that of which I speak”. I was a working Singer/Songwriter back when this came out, sang it 1000 times all over North America, but until checking out your work a few days ago…. I guess I never really heard it. Listening to it several times a day since, and yeah man… Really sweet piece. Love your rendition… Anything in Model Tuning (Stephen Stills/Al Stewart) up your sleeve? A friend of mine from Montreal taught me Nostradamus (Stewart) in Open D back in the early ‘70’s, but it’s been a long while since I’ve been able to catch it all… If you’re interested??? Merry Christmas from British Columbia, Canada. -36 C this morning… Thank you 🙏

[@harvey1954]

Sounds really good as an instrumental. Retains the addictive melancholy of the original record.

[@stephenlaurens5857]

hey dude !! Thanks again for your ACCURATE tutorials ... unlike many folks , you have and do take the time ,and have the skills to work things out properly .. big respect to you and gratitude . I was wondering if you could do "over the hill' by John Martyn ? or other of John's beautiful songs ?

[@tee_jay6677]

Thank you for posting. I remember my dad who was a country boy himself listening to this song on the radio of a j 10 pickup, grinning and singing along. That is a great memory as a kid. I'll have to try learning this song now. Music brings back such great memories. Bless ya for posting. Your the greatest.

[@bruceewing166]

You are truly a gifted player...and a very detailed teacher. Beautiful progression Thanx

[@sugarjason]

Hey Andy! Question; Would you still go for the Taylor 314ce if it had V bracing instead of the X bracing? I'm thinking about buying one with V bracing since they don't make the X's anymore but reading some mixed thoughts about it online..

[@mikekirchner9608]

Awesome song and amazing timing! I just started working on this one a couple weeks ago but wasn’t very inspired. This arrangement and tutorial was just what I was looking for! Thanks for all you do to keep us plugging away!

[@glennironside8843]

Andy, there aren't proper words to thank you enough for what you continue to provide us on your channel. This is another great example of your ability to "nail" it every time. Many thanks.

[@jimkangas4176]

Excellent. I just discovered this site. I'm largely a jazz player but all the great music I've heard in my life (like this) also gets to my heart. Thanks!

[@cidlopez]

This is wild. I’ve been listening to this song over and over for the past few days. I kept telling myself I need to sit down and learn how to play it. And look at this video now lol. Interesting fact, the radio version lyrics say everybody’s moved to LA. But the album track just says moved away.
