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!

[@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!

[@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.

[@markdavich5829]

Me too! I'm absolutely dying to put a classic rock band together and play nothing but these kinds of hits but I can't find a single person at my playing level to do this with. Not one person from craigslist I've sat down with wants to bother with learning anything. So, I sit here in my studio all by myself. LOL

[@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 . \

[@gilbertocbarros4146]

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

[@andrewrichardson3135]

This guy always has the best songs with the best tutorials

[@Terrysoddy]

Yea he is the best

[@tshouse2782]

He really does

[@WorldsOkayestGuitarPlayer]

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

[@R0BL68]

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

[@KillerKev1961]

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

[@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!

[@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!

[@Michigunner]

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

[@tristanquintus3200]

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

[@Jay_M_See]

Thanks for filling in those gaps! Much appreciated!

[@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.

[@MRod1079]

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

[@jamesrunningwind-vu3kn]

Love the way you break it down.

[@SteveJones379]

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

[@Renatino_777]

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

[@harm9249]

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

[@justal1382]

THE BEST teacher. Thanks!

[@joely225]

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

[@malpractice5904]

Such a killer opening riff

[@ShutupAndPlayGuitarTutorials]

My favorite part of the song! Cheers, Andy.

[@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🎸🏴‍☠️

[@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.

[@haksoonhwang8865]

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

[@drunkenduncan7285]

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

[@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

[@paxonearth]

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

[@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)

[@1dswylde]

Great lesson as always! 😎🎸

[@trustyaxe]

Awesome!!! Is there any way you can do, The Stroke, sometime in the future? It's such a classic song and riff. Thank you for your time!

[@teleacousticplayer9386]

Damn I remember the CD when I was 16....well sort of remember :).....excellent lesson and sound quality on this! You wouldn't happen to have any CCR / Lodi in the near future :)? Seriously though, love your lessons and thank you for your time :)

[@rgriffith2006]

Your playing is excellent. I'm jelly. I used to play this song but forgot it and looked it up. Hard to tell what fret you're on sometimes. You're pretty much on top of those fret bones. Your finger tips are probably hardened steel at this point. Mine are doughy pillows. :( I miss my SG.

[@12rochelle]

Thanks

[@fabulousjpeg]

Excellent lesson as always. If you could please do Dee by Randy Rhodes that would be great.

[@SuperHitla1985]

Ey Boss, can you do do a Tabs Cover Lesson from 'Rock you like a Hurricane' from the scorpions?

[@calebegarcia4022]

Hi professor! I wanna ask you something. Could you please make a lesson about Peacekeeper by Fleetwood Mac? I know that you like Buckingham's guitar work and I loved it too. Here in web I found nothing about this music, I think it's a great piece from Lindsey and has some nices Licks. Thank you very much.

[@RunningWithScissors765]

Excellent tune. Can I request ballad of Dwight Frye by Alice cooper. Your tones are excellent

[@lokmht9626]

Bro can u make cover of Eric Clapton Circus ,change the world and Blue eyes blue🙏

[@tiffany.Elizabeth.]

Can you please do ‘heart of the country’ by Paul McCartney? Thanks :)

[@ShutupAndPlayGuitarTutorials]

It's on my list, just not sure when. Cheers, Andy.

[@tiffany.Elizabeth.]

@@ShutupAndPlayGuitarTutorials Awesome! Thanks for responding and for your awesome tutorials. Just found you :)

[@rafaelrocha1]

Where can we get the back track for this?

[@elizabethgarrison8928]

Love your Les Paul what year is it? What is the color name of it?

[@ShutupAndPlayGuitarTutorials]

There's a link to my gear page in the description box below each video. I list everything I use there. Cheers

🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

[@patrickpalmer3374]

I took time off to get a new guitar

[@TeleCaster66]

I guess I was wrong thinking Jeff Golub (wrong spelling...) played the guitar.

[@GaryBook]

Too bad Billy put on those silk PJ’s!

[@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. 🕺🏻🎸🤣

[@markdavich5829]

Yeah man! Every time I think I need a Gibson I find a way to get close with my tele or strat and If I had bought the strat first I would never have bought the tele. LOL

[@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”!!!!!

[@cerclesvicieux]

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

[@hrosemd]

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

[@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 !

[@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!

[@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!

[@scottwalker2187]

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

[@cozmicknight7704]

DITTO !

[@aleaallee]

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

[@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

[@madcowusa4277]

This or the current mumble rap on the radio? Decisions, decisions.

[@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.

[@MrJoeytony]

Great playing. Great lesson. I was wondering if you always seem to have trouble with your B string staying intonated no matter what you do? Seems like the B string on every guitar i have is weird with intonation. Am i the only one?

[@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!

[@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!

[@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!"

[@inzguy]

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

[@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!

[@alexZZGuitar6447]

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

[@am-amandamusic5199]

4 people dislike the video probably because you didn’t hold they hand in place

[@lenw812]

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

[@wattsy1977]

Imagine being able to write a song so good that loads of people think it’s Led Zeppelin!

[@madalomusic2097]

Like Greta Van Sustren or whatever that band is called that sounds exactly like Zep.

[@allboutdatchase]

Without the help of satan

[@hazor777]

HA - Andy you either consciously choose a lot of songs where it's easy to nail the recorded track's tone , or you're SUB-consciously picking them because you like these tunes so much. One thing is for sure you nail those tones so often , personally I think that that is so very important to learning songs, learning guitar etc... it just makes it easier with training your ears (ear/hands/guitar combination) and quickly learning the songs. Then again, it shows how significant a great riff / idea/ motif in a song's identity can rise above all the studio trickery , and guitar pedals etc.. - and stand alone . So, conversely you could take the same tone / setup and play several songs - and it would be the character of the songs that makes them stand out . Maybe I'm just rambling....?

[@APlagueOfButterflies]

I never play to backing tracks...where could I get this backing track?

[@casey2349]

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

Great video! What delay time are you using for the solo? Didn't quite catch it in the video.

[@primicorrea7794]

[@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.
