Chris, from the heart, thank you so much for this lesson. A few of the points you have made over the past two of these Shenandoah videos, and I know I am not going to remember all of it, but I love what you said in the last one about how (paraphrasing) learning these songs note-for-note is like writing a handbook. There is so much to take away from these lessons in terms of fingerings, articulations, music theory, voicings, right-hand, thinking ahead, etc., that a student could spend a lifetime thinking about and exercising these ideas, expanding their own musicianship. Another thing I loved that you said was about the "spooky-mystery" of exploring these techniques, I think particularly within the framework of Tony's Shenandoah. There is a guy here on KZbin with an acoustic guitar-based channel with over 50k subscribers, who stated in one of his videos that he would never teach any of his students how to play this song in Tony's style because it was "too personal" or something to that limp effect. He reminded me of a sad old biddy gatekeeping granny's famous family pie recipe, and honestly made me think he just couldn't play it. I unsubscribed from that channel right then and there because of that arrogant crap, and seriously wonder who would take a lesson from a guy with that attitude. I think anyone who is capable of playing Shenandoah, of using this song as an étude, so to speak, or who uses it to enhance their own personal handbook, is going to get so much value, richness, and insight from your lessons on it. Those double-skipper triad voicings with the secondary subdominant into the subdominant at around the 3:30 mark were JUICY MEATY, and that D-chord 9th/2nd voicing can easily be harmonized, and there aren't too many songs that you couldn't use that in. Another thing you said that really made me think was, I think, after the 10:00 mark, when you were talking about what famous players were talking about in various stages of their career. I have noticed that almost all of the heroic players in the later stages of their journey, and I am thinking like Steve Vai, Steve Morse, Steve, I mean Paul Gilbert, Joe Satriani, that caliber, almost NEVER talk about technique or theory. It's like their thinking has surpassed the mechanics of creating the sounds, and has escalated into more figurative realms. Your videos and instructions are a great synthesis of the mechanical and the metaphorical, and I am always grateful for both the practical and the contemplative aspects you introduce to us in every video. Another thing I would like to recognize, that I am sure you hear a LOT, is the sheer artistry of your videos. Your set, lighting, color, photography, musical tone, voice/narration, camera/editing, composition, mise-en-scène, every element of what makes a video interesting and beautiful is honestly unsurpassed on your channel at every level. You are a gifted and giving true master not only of guitar, but also of cinematography, photography, and also the subtle and sublime art of heutagogy. I always learn so much more from exploring your ideas than simply recreating them. I guess a better way of saying it, is, I am inspired to learn more by watching your videos, and I recognize, and thank you for that.

thank you again Chris for this video which explains all the details of this piece. I'm learning it, a lot to remember, a lot of subtleties in Rice's plans and playing... but what a pleasure when the melody takes shape. as usual you explain well, you have understood the drive, the timing, the tone of Rice and it is a real pleasure to watch you play. Thanks a lot.

Brilliant. I've been working on a more basic version by Happy Traum who sadly died last week. This is a brilliant augmentation of that one. It's a tune 🎶 that is satisfying in so many levels, one that can (no hyperbole) last a lifetime. Thanks
