Andy, Andy, Andy! For as good as you are the number of views and comments is horribly askew, not that there is any reasonable association between views and comments, but, my Lord, the quality of yours is a welcome relief! The Bishop showed up on your Sollsbree Hill one shows you are loved more than you might realize. As Jim Morrison said, "The Future's Uncertain and the Enemy is always near!" RoadHouse Blues.

more Beatles tutorials please you’re so addicting ive learned 18 songs so far

[@kingrobert1st]

When anybody asks me why I like the Beatles so much I reply: because.

[@loontil]

good one mate...

[@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

[@PreacherAtArrakeen]

They did the harmonies together, three times. So, we hear 9 voices. Well done!

[@MichaelSchoo]

Even if I'm not that familiar with the song, I love hearing you play. By far the best feel and precision for any teacher on the web.

[@cliffsunlight4751]

What do you mean "not familiar" ???

[@da324]

@@cliffsunlight4751 Pretty self explanatory.

[@JakeSpeed1000]

Spectacular. You hit the nail on the head. I have tried to learn this before using barre chords and got to that exact point and couldn't consistently grip that chord. This is so much easier.

[@keyscook]

Simply genius song-smiths... Never a Beatles song that I didn't like - Thanks for this lesson - cheers from Washington 🍷

[@andikris4685]

I didn't know this can be played perfectly with using a capo. Thank you so much for the tutorial.

[@MyRobert1955]

Perfect Beatles ahead of their time

[@themetabaron]

I've always played it in D minor instead and it sounds very close to the record (except of course for the half tone key difference) and there are no strange bar chords there either. By far one of John's best imo, I love listening to the vocals only version followed immediately by the original one, can't get enough of it. Pure musical bliss. Thanks for the lesson, gonna try it your way later on today.

[@drakeholliday5671]

Dude! This is such an awesome lesson choice. I’ve been listening to this off the new Abbey Road for months. Such a trippy classical sounding guitar part. Some definite Lennon genius. Thanks for posting this!

[@AbqRealDeals]

Fantastic! I just love your Beatles and Stones transcriptions. I'm gonna have to 'pony-up' and buy this one. You're great. Thanks!

[@terset9912]

Superb ! Thanks for teaching this gorgeous piece !

[@mikepennington1760]

Absolutely lovely and a perfect lesson!

[@sofarsogut]

A Beautiful challenging song that I tried many times without the subtle details that you demonstrate

[@camilochaves4771]

This is fantastic! Thank you so much

[@tylaranderson8559]

I've always wanted to learn guitar, but more so now. grea song I love the rich sound your guitar has, and that's through crappy speakers on my TV.

[@stringmantony]

Beautiful job! Thank you so much.

[@ManfredElsingBielefeld]

This is amazing!!!Thanks a lot!

[@thomasjackson8963]

Great lesson!

[@hisoverlorduponhigh90]

Beautiful, thank you.

[@redasdu84]

Thank you so much. This is a lot easier to play than with all the bar chords, and sounds so good !

[@thebookofeli849]

I'm so happy right now you have no idea

[@justinhamilton8647]

Please make a tutorial for I Want You(She’s So Heavy) you’ll totally rock

[@garylcampbell9964]

Amazing song and lesson.

[@tonypurcell1049]

This was probably my least fav moment from the Abbey Road Album (and I'm a massive Beatles fan)....but this video made me realise what a beautiful track it is and how much fun to play on guitar. Thank you, one of your best tutorials.

[@BeatlesCentricUniverse]

Blasphemer!

[@thomasnelson5758]

THIS was your least fav moment on the record?? You liked Maxwell's Silver Hammer more than this??

[@tonypurcell1049]

@@thomasnelson5758 Afraid so, but that was many years ago.

[@itamarmergi7555]

love your guitar tutorials man you always keep it simple and clear, could you maybe do a turorial on embryonic journey by jefferson airplane i think its really cool instrumental part to play on guitar .

[@ronaldpapa8182]

That’s fantastic!!

[@chuckbouscaren3898]

Great lesson Andy!

[@DRYFLY0]

Love it, thanks!

[@Flerg3]

Awesome

Thanks Andy!

Beautiful man

[@elementrypenguin3116]

Excellent!

[@westfield90]

Superb

[@jamesarmstrong5903]

Such an underrated song

[@mcmillanalex]

It's impossible for me not to hear John Lennon's voice when you begin playing. Beautiful song ❤️

[@danielnugent7046]

Except you actually hear 8 voices.

[@danielnugent7046]

Check out the Eliot Smith version.

[@strausschateau2043]

Thank you so much!

[@guydorcival5144]

thank's its beautiful

[@sonofabeachent]

I don't know why these lessons help me so much. Maybe it's not so much the music theory and just the joy of "shutup and play?" Okay back to the guitar and thank you. Impossible to get this on an acoustic( sound) but still sweet.

[@navairgeek]

So ingenious! Never thought of capoing-

[@Bigbuddyandblue]

Great lesson! FYI the Isolated vocals are on the “Love” theatrical soundtrack album. Pretty amazing.

[@gregt4202]

OK.....so....what am I going to do with my Sunday.....? Thanks for the outstanding tutorial (as always).

[@ovy1211]

Thank You!

[@tommysilva9804]

I don't understand the 6 thumbs down......shut up and play are the best tutorials...

[@jsguitarman4132]

Great!

[@stevenline63]

Awesome guitar player!!!🥃

[@terryadams3489]

thank you so much. You are right I tried the other way to play & I almost Immediately quit. I sincerely hope you are feeling better

[@thetourist3711]

KZbin guitarists goat

[@TheRafaJimi]

Thank you :)

[@juliocastaneda3805]

Made my day!!😂😂

[@cyc4usa706]

@8:00 when Any laughs at how cool that sounds, it made me think of Bob Ross... Just loving what he does.

[@sonic_castle7813]

Cool~👍👍👍👍👍~

[@giorgiomarchetti8943]

You played it amazingly!! How did it you record the song? Is it an amp or plug-ins? Thank you so much, bro...💙

[@zoso5525]

Can you do the Rain Song again but the TSRTS Live version? I love how Page plays it in that version and no one else really has a tutorial for it

[@zach5793]

I humbly request a lesson for That smell by Lynyrd Skynyrd! I know nobody on the internet can compete with the quality and accuracy you provide !

[@pavotibio]

How come someone dislikes this? Only explanation is that they´re reggaeton lovers.

[@hollywooda111]

best channel hands down, and if you dont agree you can shut up!

[@kalajahuira]

Great lesson! Maybe someone already asked this but can you tell me how to emulate a harpsichord with a guitar....

[@LaMusicade4]

Excuse me for asking but, what effects are those? Beautiful as always, thank you

[@ShutupAndPlayGuitarTutorials]

Thank you. I use a Kemper profiling amp. This was a Matchless 30 profile with delay, chorus and reverb. Cheers, Andy.

[@guff8150]

can you do a tutorial on "Hey Bulldog"?

[@BotanicManic]

Can you please for the love of god do an Elliott Smith song. He was such a great guitar player and I'd love to hear you play him and teach his ways.

[@Ashufrost]

That would be really cool! He has some pretty intricate acoustic guitar-work.

[@thearkhamhero11]

Could we please get Do you feel like we do by peter frampton Please man I'm begging you

[@dancartoni]

Cool person

[@thebookofeli849]

Just a an idea I don't want to be rude but you could do a seperate lessons teaching the Harmony parts on guitar. I would love to see that

[@timber750]

Doubt the drop-D is called for--the low D is used only twice, and it makes many of the other fingerings unnecessarily difficult. Just a thought.

[@sebastianpereira1517]

They were Gods

[@TheShotgunMarriage]

Can you please make a tutorial for the song '' Take me to Church '' by Hozier. We need your wisdom for that one.

[@RichardGlatfelter]

Dude that "F7" chord is quite tough to hit!

[@loontil]

I think you've made it a bit trickier than what it it is IMHO ...the version in my Beatles Complete scores tome is a bit easier. Still sounds nice though! Same notes!!

[@runtsmeadow6797]

Not sure the drop D adds anything. Playing F bar works just as well, and vastly reduces the stretch needed for the Bflat.

[@dorland3]

Metallica’s Master of Puppets guitar interlude sounds like it might have been influenced by Because.

[@Lewiiiiiiiis]

First thing I thought was Metallica's ballady stuff!

[@CaptainRonAhoy]

AHHH....AHHH....that's how you play it!

[@lizzard6478]

I would love to see a Thorn tree in the garden by derek and the dominos guitar lesson. Would that be possible?

[@kingrobert1st]

The story goes that John had Yoko backwards on the piano so he could look at the cloudy sky and smoke a spliff..

[@Noitisnt-ns7mo]

Try it in Bmin, you'll find amazing results. Just say'n.

[@7ritwik]

The opening sounds similar to Nothing Else Matters. Or is it just me? Great cover, though.

[@faborwick5887]

Sounds like the same tone for She's come undone

[@skinnyaxel5914]

I want you she's so heavy next!

[@loontil]

"Hey man, play it backwards...rad own..."

[@John-D.]

Have you seen polythene Pam ❓

[@mikeglasgow9618]

I don't know why people think George Harrison chords are hard. Really. All you have to do is stretch your fingers 7 frets and catch the low E with your nose. Piece of cake.....lol

[@snooze0023]

umm wheres the chords??

[@LaMusicade4]

I’m getting old, my fingers hurt

[@ronaldtant3196]

Great lesson but surely you ,as such a gifted musician saw through The Beethoven backwards nonsense,in fact you doubted yourself as you repeated the story.

[@Guitaroverkill]

For anyone who thumbs down this video, just delete your KZbin account.

[@normandcorriveau2378]

Ads for every song is anoying and very distracting too much

[@alwaysright3718]

They just don't write music like this anymore, its all 3 major chord garbage....
