Hell yeah! More Billy Squier!

[@virginiapicker]

Awesome lesson - thank you!

[@MyButtsBeenWiped]

Thanks, Andy, For All That You Do !

[@cozmicknight7704]

The way you're able to play this great instrument with such ease and precision you make look as easy as ringing a bell ! Thanks for doing what you do, and sharing. Cheers!

[@andrewrichardson3135]

This guy always has the best songs with the best tutorials

[@Terrysoddy]

Yea he is the best

[@tshouse2782]

He really does

[@Mike-u9x]

Aint this the truth..

[@robertsilver5130]

This is a ridiculously good tutorial. For a mediocre guitar player, I could always get through this one pretty well. But you’ve shown so many little nuances (especially the other rhythm guitars) - just fantastic. Makes me excited all over again to play this classic song. Thanks!

[@Mark-en2mt]

This came out my first year in college, roommate had the album. I took up guitar two years ago at age 57, and recently learned this all the way through thanks to your tutorial! As a new guitarist, it's so gratifying to be able to play songs I"ve loved for decades but never thought I'd be able to play.

[@cozmicknight7704]

That's way cool, I wish I could say the same as for being able to play this all the way thru. I can play the very beginning of the intro that ends in the first chord and that's it. Maybe some other sections here and there as well, but not all the way thru. Good on you ! We're the same age btw FYI. I'm 1964. Cheers !

[@cozmicknight7704]

Whoops ! ....My math was a lil off . \

[@theanalogkid4171]

I never realized how great this song is until now and I've been listening to it since it came out in 1981, I was 14 years old. Absolutely outstanding lesson and choice of song! Thank you Andy!

[@StealthParrot]

Me too Tim, such a great song, fun guitar riffs and solo! I've often tinkered with playing this learning it myself the wrong way, great to say the proper way to play it.

[@JohnBaker-vm1wf]

Right with you dude. Gr 9 was fun. Great time for music and guitar oriented bands.

[@eddiejr540]

Andy...you remind me of 5 watt world’s philosophy...getting the most out of the least gear...it’s awesome how you get that Les Paul to cover all your musical territory....an inspiration to us all...rock on my brother!!!!!

[@truckerkevthepaidtourist]

yes indeed. not standing up filming his video pedal dancing. 🕺🏻🎸🤣

[@gilbertocbarros4146]

Sometimes I think that the best rock songs are the most simple. This is the channel to learn them!

[@cerclesvicieux]

Great choice. Great song. Love Billy Squire. Kind of an unsung guitar hero. Excellent!

[@jamoncure]

Very Zeppelinesque! And... I love waiting for Andy to say, “Here’s how some guys play it.....except that’s NOT HOW IT’S PLAYED”!!!!!

[@motorv8N]

Been watching Andy for a few years now and I’m always so impressed at how quiet his hands are on the guitar. Not even sure if that’s the right way to describe it. Just smooth and sure moving around the fretboard no matter the tempo of the tune or lick. No muss no fuss - a real master. His EVH Drop Dead Legs tutorial is a great example of this.

[@cozmicknight7704]

I suppose one could say, he does very little 'sliding around' to find each note which causes a major part of the noise, you're absolutely right and I agree. Like I commented before, ...it's as if he were just ringing a bell... seemingly effortless. Cheers !

[@hrosemd]

Don't Say No is near perfection. Still holds up. Great job.

[@Shamilt3]

When I first saw the title I eye rolled, but listened, and found a love. I heard this 3 times per day as a kid coming up in the 80s, and always blew it off. Nice choice and great playing, thanks for the break down.

[@jaypeterson7637]

I could have written your comment...to a tee!

[@williamsands5519]

Not only does this cat cover a really large spectrum of music and the tutorials are so well-detailed, but his enthusiasm - I think I'd be saying things like this if I put out videos myself, e.g. "I mean, how cool is that? That is so great, I love that part!"

[@R0BL68]

Keep donating to this man. His attention to detail is second to none!

[@scottwalker2187]

Always the best lessons . Plays every demo spot on , and a great teacher. Makes every song look effortless

[@cozmicknight7704]

DITTO !

[@KillerKev1961]

Man, that lead guitar is epic. ICONIC. Always gives me goose bumps.

[@MRod1079]

The best Lesson here- Great breakdown!

[@jackbarlow4104]

Damn! This guy's rendition of the song is so spot on and bad ass! I can hear better than I can play and this is note for note perfect! Best guy on KZbin for learning the real way to play stuff!

[@MRod1079]

Great Lesson here, you do a great job breaking this down to make it easy!

[@pyyktodd]

So I found your lessons by some sort of miracle, I think. I played a lot when I was young, then off an on my adult life. Never played great but it was always fun. After dying twice on an ambulance last year and still being here by some kind of miracle; I decided to play again. Problem was I kind of forgot everything as did my hands. I am struggling to learn all over and have a few decent guitars, I believe your lessons will help. Thank you.

[@WorldsOkayestGuitarPlayer]

You're my go to when I want to learn a song and learn it right ✅

[@randho5150]

I've been playing this song on guitar since we first heard it when it came out... yeah I'm an old guy! Good job!

[@aleaallee]

No matter which song you play you always nail the tone, I love your videos!

[@jerrycollins-y2v]

at 66 and browsing youtube for good tutorials this guy is simply the best out there

[@kukusnest65]

Man i just want to tell you i appreciate you giving us all these great,free lessons. I have been a working musician for a long time but I am not a great note for note player. Probably a combination of laziness/lack of patience and my ears not being as fine tuned. But as someone who has spent countless hours having to figure out stuff for whatever band i was in I just want to say how much I am blown away by all your finesse and attention to all the little nuances Really really great and your enthusiasm for the songs,licks, and the players tells me you are humble guy on top of it. Yes there are countless other monster guitar players on youtube that do incredible note for note covers but something about your vibe I dig Thank you

[@luapsel77]

Andy- Sometimes, to be able to LEARN from you and TRY to DO what YOU do, I have to SEPARATE my AWE of you, as a Performer!...It's like trying to Learn from EVH, Jimmy Page, Mark Knopfler or Angus Young!...I watched this "Lonely is the Night", which I learned YEARS ago, but of COURSE, I wasn't playing it as ACCURATELY as YOU!...At LEAST I got the Intro Licks down correctly!....before THIS, I watched "Drop Dead Legs"....Andy, you are an Unbeleivable PLAYER! EVERY ONE of your Lessons, the Demo ALWAYS SOUNDS JUST like the RECORD! You must have an Incredible amount of EXPERIENCE, to be able to LEARN these songs SO EXACTLY! THANKS Again, Andy! You're as RARE, as a '57 LES PAUL!

[@wadehampton5116]

The very best toots on the You Tube, bar none. I have learned sooo much from this gentleman.

[@pbosche]

This riff never shows up on any “greatest riffs” when it belongs on every one of them 🤘🏽😎🤘🏽

[@sirmount9156]

Thanks Bruh, super fantastic song choice. I’ve had and still do have Don’t Say No on 8 track, yep. I’m 52 and have had it for 40 years! Incredible album.

[@licksnkicks1166]

Great, excellent Andy! My project for today! Gotta love it. Now I am super excited. You made my day SUAP. It’s 8:30 am time to wake the family up! Lol🇨🇦❤️ you are without a doubt one if the best teachers on KZbin!

[@casey2349]

Seriously, this dude has THE BEST channel on YT!! Thank you!!

[@stevehamilton3526]

As usual, fantastic lesson Andy! I am ashamed that the only part of this song I ever bothered to learn was the intro and verse. The solo section is pure gold, and I never noticed how great that section really is!

[@lenw812]

Great song & great tutorial. Can't wait for the next one from Squier!

[@SteveJones379]

1st! Have always loved the guitar in this song! Excellent tutorial...thank you!!

[@alexZZGuitar6447]

Love this song and great to see some of the less famous Guitar greats studied thanks:)

[@Michigunner]

Remember cranking up the amp with that riff back when I was around 14 years old....never gets old

[@kawasakivulcan9594]

You are the inspiration! Very well played. Sounds perfect!

[@ShutupAndPlayGuitarTutorials]

Thank you. Cheers, Andy.

[@tristanquintus3200]

Thanks, Andy, for another seemingly effortless guitar tutorial; a calm, confident performance.

[@kretincooper]

You got me excited to get deeper into the guitar!!! Awesome here

[@rjmacready1894]

That solo survives on it's own, love it.

[@jimmydaugherty4295]

Very good tutorial. I've sort of just been slowly learning this incrementally, correctly. I halfway figured it out by ear back in the day, about 10 years ago but, I was curious how to play it correctly. So I've been referring to it from time to time. I really like this guy's teaching style. I really appreciate dudes like this.

[@Edward-MTBKR]

"Lonely Is The Night" and "In The Dark", the only two Billy Squier songs I cared for, but they were great. Thanks for the background, I always assumed he did his own guitar work.

[@jamesrunningwind-vu3kn]

Love the way you break it down.

[@vbros7]

Impeccable as always Andy. My wife thinks I'm crazy for sending money to "some You Tube guy" ever Christmas. Lessons like this always remind me why I do!

[@Jay_M_See]

Thanks for filling in those gaps! Much appreciated!

[@Renatino_777]

Really great tutorial!!! I enjoyed all the video!! Big Thxs!!!!

[@kennethhacker3014]

Love that guitar!!! I remember working out this song years ago thanks man!

[@ozarkpipertony8396]

Well Done!!! 80's rule!!!

[@milessmith6611]

It's like every lesson you post is a song I love! Crazy

[@chiparooo]

Awesome! Was just watching a video of what happened to Billy Squire last night. Always loved his music.

[@harm9249]

Oh yeah baby! Killer track. Can’t wait to learn this one. Always great quality videos and lessons. Cheers!

[@BrickBlacktoe]

Andy, this is awesome. Thank you sir for another great Saturday with the guitar.

[@justal1382]

THE BEST teacher. Thanks!

[@fredgaither1484]

Love your teaching style

[@cjsavarimuthu2708]

Well thought out tutorial. Very methodical. I'm going to nail this down...like now!

[@Hmetalz]

Great song- great solo.

[@isaacjohnson.]

Excellent lesson. Thank you.

[@inzguy]

Nailed it!! Thanks again for putting together such a awesome tutorial and background on that song!! 👍🏽👍🏽

[@JohnBaker-vm1wf]

Lol. Even in this video you have that nice open airy sound the original had. Great lesson, even if it's a relatively easy tune. The quality is in the recognition of all those little idiosyncrasies that we all have as players. People stuggle with EVH playing for the same reason, even while being accomplished players. It's difficult to replicate someone perfectly. New sub.

[@Mr25thfret]

Another fantastic lesson. That's a beautiful guitar too! I can tell you have had that one a longgggg time. Thanks for the lesson. 🏆

[@joely225]

I always thought Jeff Golub did the leads. Learn something new everyday. Thanks

[@rsk5197]

No doubt about the solo. That is some great phrasing

[@aceohare007]

an absolute belter

[@Peetie_Wheatstraw]

Great choice. Thanks Andy!

[@scottjames1965]

Hi Andy. Heard you're not doing too great at the moment. Hope to have you back in the saddle soon. You are a fine teacher and such pleasant company of an evening when the family are away to bed and I can get my guitar out. Wishing you good health sir. Oh and I made a donation too yesterday. Everyone should if they are getting something from these tutorials. C'mon loyal subscribers! If Andy can't work just now he can't earn so I'm sure even the smallest of donations would be welcome

[@malpractice5904]

Such a killer opening riff

[@ShutupAndPlayGuitarTutorials]

My favorite part of the song! Cheers, Andy.

[@richiewilliamsii6548]

been waitin' for this one! awesome sauce, man; thanks & bravo!

[@geo.cgeier3435]

Awesome! Always loved this song ! You show perfect the way to play it! Thanx much!

[@tonielocke2387]

Wasn't Billy from Brockton, MA. Another great classic that was always on the radio. Great sound and You are definitely the best for getting those KZbin lessons on all our favorite songs!

[@MichaelSmith-ig8bw]

Wellesley, Mass. Big difference. Brockton is blue collar, if that. Wellesley is ritzy.

[@haksoonhwang8865]

I love billy & your play is awesome.. Request nobody knows.. Please!!

[@0LASE]

Thank you, sir.

[@charlieclifford7396]

Great lesson,and very cool song keep rockin ,you have a great feel for the guitar and you do an excellent job on teaching note for note lessons,never stop jamming my friend🎸🏴‍☠️

[@SolidSativa1]

Epic sound dude 👍 I"m sending everyone here some love from Denmark

[@margix1172]

Great tutorial ! Billy Squier one of the best!!! I'd love to see tutorials on Aldo Nova and Frank Marino.

[@RonTimmonsM1]

[@AntonioCavicchioni]

Great Tutorial!

[@johnriley8314]

Very cool "Rock" song & attitude.....as you said !!! Hope the next one is "The Stroke"...lol my 2 fav Billy Squier songs by far. For sure a Rocker back in the day!!!! Great videos...IF YA WANNA LEARN THE CORRECT WAY to play stuff, thn you are in the CORRECT place my friends !!!! So...go grab your guitar, turn on this channel...and...SHUTUP & PLAY !!!! (Love that !!Lol)

[@deancrow3525]

Spot on

[@drsmith4582]

I’ve loved this song since it was new. I jokingly refer to it as my favorite Zeppelin tune.

[@Nena_Eylici]

My whole life I coulda swore it was zeppelin 😂

[@cqlove12]

Nobody’s Fault But Mine by Zeppelin very similar

[@stevedillemuth5048]

Guy is a genius.

[@tommyjones3527]

Awesome song 🎶 great lessons!!

[@michaelmeshulam6983]

Love this song, thanks !

[@argonwheatbelly637]

Love the opening riff. I can still play it. Bluesie, then goes rock. Can drum the entire song. It one of the few pieces I enjoy moving around when the band felt like switching up who played what. Can't really nail the singing harmonies, though. :-) Awesome vid!

[@drunkenduncan7285]

I never really liked this song before ,but after watching this ,its bad ass 🤘

[@zombeast23]

Best Cover Guitar Rock

[@seangabriel8120]

What a tune!

[@jimsrv711]

Great demo 👍✌️👍

[@johnmckenna4256]

This sounds better than the original, this rocks

[@teddysalad6553]

Awesome! Say no more.

[@1dswylde]

Great lesson as always! 😎🎸

[@paxonearth]

Great video. And all this time I assumed Billy was playing the solo!

[@aivira3161]

Wooow. Great tone ! 😍😍

[@davegmarti]

this is great

[@JJFlores197]

This may sound a bit embarrassing but I learned about this song in Los Santos Rock Radio (in GTA V) 😆😆 I thought it sounded really awesome especially driving around at night in the game (and also in real life). I'm going to put effort into learning this song when I get some free time to practice guitar. That intro riff just sounds awesome!

[@labeleven]

You sooooo rock

[@peppyharley6901]

Man you rock! Never disappoint! The 5 naysayers must be just jealous or miserable people !

[@brucelee4996]

Awesome tune by 'The Strokeman.'

[@johnnykellyiii1790]

I love the video and your playing is incredible! My only gripe with the video is that it doesn't show a graphic of the chord you play and how to play it. Marty Music is another great guitar lesson guy on KZbin and his videos are always my go to because he always puts pictures of the chords up on the screen and it makes learning them so much easier. Other than that, the video is great and I will definitely be watching it at least 20 more times to learn this song.

[@cuttheloop]

Another great lesson. O'l girl is showing some wear since I last visited.

[@MichaelCaliri]

your the best
