I first heard this tune in 1987. Just drove out to Los Angeles from New Orleans by myself. Was riding around Hollywood Blvd one late morning in the passenger seat, this tune came on and I just disappeared into it. Pretty surreal moment. Have loved this tune ever since!

[@joseph-ow1hf]

Neil Finn is probably my favorite musician. I have seen solo, the brothers and the Crowdies multiple times. He is such an incredibly charming guy in addition to being an amazing songwriter. One reason I like your videos is the background info. You have such a genuine enthusiasm and appreciation for the music and the production.

[@wpleary2]

As a huge fan of Neil Finn and Crowded House, who's watched and listened to this song probably a thousand times, I can say this is by far the most accurate and authentic sounding tutorial I've seen on it. Subscribed!

[@ldhorricks]

Thats Andy, he is a truly fine guitarist and a good human being.

[@christopherfarrington9270]

tim pierce played guitar on this song and his video is better.

[@jsphillip60]

​@@christopherfarrington9270Ummm...Tim Pierce recommended this very video!

[@julesskedgwell9166]

You know it! The Finn brothers Tim and Neil from Aotearoa New Zealand! Unbelievable musicians.

[@indieingenuity7160]

Arguably one of the most beautiful songs ever written. Just for the record, capos are a pain in the ass!

[@crisrose521]

Once you get used to them , they’re a MUST lol . Not “ always “ but great for versatility and songwriting 🤘🏻

[@gins8781]

My guitar sounds really awful with a capo on.

[@WIZ-IN-PA]

I watch many tutorials and many YT instructors don't play things exactly as what is on the record, except for you. The details from your videos are hands down the best my friend.

[@DougWittrock]

I'm following a couple of online teachers on KZbin...but you are by far the best. Thanks!

[@ALong-fo5so]

Its a once in a generation song. Truly amazing.

[@jameswillis1742]

I not only love your teaching songs of my generation, i also love your back stories to these songs..ive followed you for a little over a year and i feel ive become a more solid intermediate level player..its special to be able to play the songs i grew up with..and the chicks like being sang to so thank you for helping me improve my dating life! : )

[@ShutupAndPlayGuitarTutorials]

Haha, that's funny James. Please have a look here sometime: www.shutupandplay.ca/donate.html Cheers Andy

[@jameswillis1742]

Its true..and i will

[@alexdiachok6597]

Great video! This is literally one of my favorite songs of all time. Absolutely beautiful song with great lyrics and harmonies. I've actually been waiting for this lesson. Keep picking great songs.

[@luisdiaz3887]

70’s and early 80’s were the best years musically speaking.

[@stephenhogue5567]

I lived through it best time of my life!

[@stephenhogue5567]

I lived through it best time of my life!

[@1-800-NO-FAULT]

Shut Up Absolutely so great that you did this song. I always loved it so much as well as Split Enz, the Finns etc. I think its the harmonic movement? and melody, it's beautiful. That ear you have is sick.

[@zelpho3]

Crowded House are playing at Sydney Opera House end of November! It'll be live on ABC Radio

[@dktice7011]

Absolutely top notch instruction and fantastic playing...I've been trying to put my finger on your teach style and it finally hit as I was watching this video. It's like the late painter Bob Ross meets guitar instruction :)

[@Esperluet]

Great sound, great song, great teacher.

[@julesskedgwell9166]

In relation to why he plays the "C" shape with capo on 3rd, I think maybe it gives the song a bit more of that open space airy sound.

[@INVERTEDBUKAKI]

Tim peirce session guitarist played on this track

[@danielhendriksen9232]

SO WHAT!!!!

[@INVERTEDBUKAKI]

@@danielhendriksen9232 many people care, look him up. he's played on more songs than you think you knew who the real guitar player was

[@TMoody]

This guy is the best guitar teacher on all of KZbin, this is a magical tune. and Crowded House is the best band (besides the mighty AC/DC) to come out of Australia.

[@BI-km6dl]

For the keyboards, Boss makes a pretty cool pedal (SY-1) that does a nice job approximating the sound of an organ.

[@nicole1miller143]

My Boyfriend said come to your site to learn certain parts of the song , he said your the Most meticulous your the best !

[@BuRocKkK]

Man, i love your tutorials. Hope you still give tutorials til the day i die

[@Theylieohio]

Tim pierce one of the Best session guitarist around!

[@marksc1929]

..the great Tim Pierce played guitar on that tune also , ..all the dreamy parts and single note accents.. stu ....great tune

[@MrMavs67]

I'm from Australia, even though Neil Finn is from New Zealand, we Aussies adopted him, Crowded house had a lot more great songs, one that comes to mind is Four Seasons in one day, and there is a great Split Enz song called Message to my girl, just another great song from a talented song writer. Also not sure if you have heard the acoustic version of INXS Don't Change, but i think that would make a great lesson.

[@davidcarter8089]

Nino uh

[@ldhorricks]

I just discovered that LA session player , Tim Pierce played some guitar fills on this song

[@davidbrinkhurst5359]

Totally agree with you. Thanks... #1 lesson for a #1 Song. U Rock!

[@playingforfunagain]

We perform this song in an accoustic duo set we're doing - I play the part that is shown here and the singer - guitarist does the capo stuff sounds pretty well together

[@ldhorricks]

I've also tried it at Capo III with the C sus 2 opening chord...the one nice thing about playing that way is it allow for more fluid hammer-ons, pull-offs etc that can be fun to include..

[@RickyPisano]

What a great song.

[@danahendrickson3785]

I am happy to donate $25 for every lesson I use to learn to play a new song. Thanks for this one!

[@danielost5252]

A very good lesson and i must say that you nailed the guitar tone perfectly, almost gave me goosebumps because i love this song so very much. This song and also "I just died in your arms tonight " by Cutting Crew must be the best songs i have ever heard in my life!!! Well done😉👍!!!! Br Daniel

[@kevinkohler7997]

During the solo when you hit that Dbm7 chord, my immediate thought was, "Did I Lie to You" by the Eurythmics written a year prior. Thx for tutorials!!

[@Joe-mz6dc]

You're an incredibly good player.

[@StacyLamb96]

You're a really great teacher, you helped me learn one of my favourite solos ever- I Can't Tell You Why by The Eagles so I'm extremely grateful. I was just wondering if you had any more of The Eagles songs you was going to teach? :) thank you

[@jesseking8504]

I'm so glad to see it's a tutorial without Capo. Not the cables are the world LOL. And sometimes a person's hands can't do it anymore or it's just easier. But I was trying to learn without a capo. I had most of it down but for one place

[@marionicotera1307]

You're an awesome teacher. Keep the good work up👍🏻

[@robbnasinovish]

Legenda. The Tesla of the 70's

[@TMS5100]

fantastic song and fantastic lesson!

[@marksc1929]

Nice job...and ur right ....great production on that tune .....lovely song

[@carlosandchrlys7889]

I like the tone of that pickup!

[@sparkie119]

Just love the way you provide some information on the song you cover on most of your videos.

[@fidneusdiller2486]

That was cool dude, thanks a million. Nice song and strumming.

[@geneng1351]

Thanks for doing this song!

[@gins8781]

This makes me want an electric guitar.

[@gocatgo02]

Great job! Thank you for choosing this song!

[@benj9643]

Bro, super stoked to learn this - cheers; such a cool way of teaching guitar. i just returned to New Zealand after years abroad, bought a sweet new Taylor GSmini today and wow, loving this crazy-beautiful and nostalgic tune. yep, those brothers wrote amazing music. nicely done. que bueno, amigo, genial. i'll look up more of your demos and lessons, now, f'sure. thanks again. keep sharing the goodness. you're a true master.... it's really no surprise, but I heard a great Italian cover of this song - which has always been hugely popular over there, too. infact they argued it was a classic Italian song at first! good music crosses borders, oceans, stereotypes and brings people together. Viva Crowded House!

[@teamaster592]

Awesome tutorial and playing.

[@sterlingmcvay6163]

Please 'Do', I GOT YOU!! Love 'SPLIT ENZ', as well as CROWDED HOUSE. And you could do 'several' of 'both'. Thanks!!

[@JillSaphic]

once again... thank you Andy! you SO rock sometimes... woo hoo! if you only knew how much time you have saved me before rehearsals from time to time. And I really like how you play it like he does in the crowded house video. thank you 4 uploading the lesson!

[@VeeDubJohn]

Didn't realize how good some of these 80's guys were when I was there (other things on my mind:-) . Funny how really looking at the songs reveals how talented some of them were.

[@ldhorricks]

I think on the recording they play this a full step down...maybe I'm wrong but when I played along in standard A440 pitch it was off...when I tuned it down a full step it was spot on.

[@garyco34ify]

What about the Crowded house song "Weather with you" can you play that ? its another gem, a really cool song.

[@MrStretch148]

helluva history lesson. I enjoy your approach to your tutorials. keep it up.

[@MrStretch148]

and what he said, what an ear you have.

[@MrStretch148]

+Shawn Everingham never thought such a simple song was so complicated until now.

[@leefu2000]

what a great song!

[@RUHDD4HVN]

Didn't know that about Mitchel Fromm (knew about Gamma but.......).......thanks for the bit of trivia.

[@MissezPremiseHello]

Again, Thank You for This. You Are Awesome.

[@marierobinson2583]

Split Enz did Six Months In a Leaky Boat too. had the album. wow high school was a long time ago!

[@MrAnthony000004]

thats the best lesson ive seen great ,tony

[@mikeglasgow9618]

I wanted to say thank you for your channel. Very informative and articulate on the guitar parts. Just for fun I thought I would ask you if you ever heard of "" THE ANALOUGES "" ?? THEY are from the Netherlands and perform all their renditions in a second language. IF YOUR a Beatles fan you will really enjoy their music

[@GreeneAlien]

Thumbs up for GAMMA. Thanks for the lesson.

[@truckerkevthepaidtourist]

They had a few pretty good ones. Neil Finn wrote some nice stuff.. Good tutorial as always 😎

[@justinsmith6704]

Fantastic lesson, amazing detail

[@hangmanscrown5399]

You're an absolute beast. The subtle things. The small things that you highlight. Bravo ! Have you ever heard of the soul singer Maxwell ? I would love to see a proper guitar instruction on "Whenever Wherever Whatever" by him. One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. You rule brother.

[@hooch8422]

I agree! Not only a genius, but a very hard worker! Saved me hours and hours of work. Thanks! Btw, if one wants to emulate organs, cellos, flutes, sax, Rhodes pianos etc, ( without a midi guitar) check out these 2 stomp boxes: Mel9 and Key9, both by ElectroHarmonex. Not as good as Midi samples, but damn close and a lot easier. Demos here on KZbin.Respectfully,Hooch

[@Strongpersuader]

This is just a helluva lesson of a killer song. Would you mind sharing with us your tremolo and delay pedals´ adjustments so that we can also have a better starting point with our own gear? Thanks in advance from Brazil! Juarez

[@Ivanator-21]

I really like the way you teach. Is there any way possible that that you could give a lesson on how to play "Radar Love" by Golden Earring? Thank you for these great videos.

[@mcleroy1967]

Fantastic tutorial!

[@congorianso]

Great Lesson!

[@moisesgutto5789]

obrigado, me ajudou muito. você é bom nisso. valeu...

[@leefu2000]

Could you PLEASE do a tutorial on Who's behind the door by Zebra? Most of what I find on the internet is in standard tuning but it is really tuned GGDGBD 12 string according to Randy Jackson. I'm really enjoying your KZbin channel.

[@RaptorV1USA]

That was a great song!! I 2nd this..

[@Misko1987]

great channel, great lesson as always.

[@kevinkessinger7345]

Always watch your Videos , You are truly passionate about your craft . In the Late 80's I played with Dick Wagner( Alice Cooper & Lou Reed Guitarist/Songwriter ) , But now , I enjoy just playing in a really good Cover Band .I also enjoy Tim Pierce , He mentioned you on one of his videos about how good your video's are , and Tim Pierce is one of the top Session Guitarists around .You've put allot of work into your playing , I just thought you would like to hear how much you are appreciated. I just paused to tell you which one of your video tutorials was my favorite , but too many came to my thoughts.( Mississippi Queen was one ) Just keep "em coming , I would hate to have to go back to old school as I did in the late 70's and 80's with the turntable , and picking up the needle and placing it back and forth all day to figure out songs ...lol

[@gregdenis5191]

Great post , Kevin ...

[@yoni23able]

Tim Pierce played the solo on the original Crowded House record - must have been brought in by Mitchell Froom. Happy to be corrected if wrong.

[@isaiahmarquez9717]

Tim Pierce sent me here. 🤙🏼

[@samkupper]

Krokus "Screaming in The Night"? for a tutorial

[@mnblues8175]

Huh...must have been one I missed...Tim Pierce mentioned you from his vid of his demo playing on this recording.

[@bobhowyousay]

At Glastonbury he played without a capo and his son used one,

[@basketballplayerinprocess5702]

I

[@HurtinForSturgeon]

What effects were you using to get the tone cause your tone was pretty spot on !!!

[@DOKITT]

He’s using chorus and delay. The real version uses what sounds like a Dimension style chorus in stereo with minimal movement and a plate reverb.

[@thecourierNCR]

Can I make a request? Can you do Achilles last stand? I don't need the whole thing, just those little funky parts after the solo. I can also handle all of the overdubs too, but for the life of me I can't figure those little funky chords out.

[@fiddlefolk]

Session master Tim Pierce did the guitar work on this i believe.

[@sauravdagaSDaga1984]

fiddlefolk really?..I guess he has a youtube channel..

[@halloweenjack4482]

Tim wanted to leave Split Enz and Neil didn't want to continue the band so he disbanded them. He then formed Crowded House and the rest is history.

[@tshouse2782]

lessons are always great, effects settings would be nice also.....

Could you do a lesson on Terrapin Station? I can't get enough of the cover version on the recent Day of the Dead tribute album. It's definitely worth a listen.

[@teslaedison6236]

Great video. No bullshit in it. Thanks

[@U2FanSanFran]

What tone and delays/chorus do I use for this, thanks

My friend your missing the second guitar part played by Tim Pierce check Tim out.

[@volvoplz9209]

do you think you could do an I Got You Tutorial? it's one of my favorite songs. There's no one to be found anywhere. :P

I"d like to see a fingerstyle arrangement for this song.

Krokus "Screaming in The Night"? for a tutorial This man is s musical genius and a blessing to the KZbin community!

[@AdrianCaceresneurosurg]

I there an easy way to get the drum and bass track in order to practice like you did on the video? I tried stripping voice and guitars using Audacity and Transcribe but had little success! Great lesson by the way!

[@Chord_The_Seeker]

It doesn’t sound like it’s in Eb, it sounds like it’s about a quarter step off from standard tuning.

[@loganwhetzel2069]

It’s in standard tuning just in the key of E flat.

[@jreagle58]

Good lesson as always. Gotta ask, do you have a touch of delay in the mix?

[@jackhammer111]

a 1/8th delay is essential.

[@JQBMusicandTutorials]

If you explained the capo, version, that would be great!
