[@MyButtsBeenWiped]

Thanks, Andy, For All That You Do !

[@ignaciomendeznunez]

You're a legend for putting in that C#add9, it's a hidden gem on the record. No other tab or lesson is realizing it.

[@samnewton5959]

I use a C#9, ( adding the 7th and 9th ) but as you indicated it is getting the nuances that make all the difference...

[@Mylo.257]

You're not only a fine musician, but, an excellent teacher, as well.

[@robbiekeith3528]

Learning how to sing hall and oats was a game changer for me. Thx for this tutorial. You always nail the nuances. I havent seen any new videos If you teach again, please more hall and oats. I get the feeling you are a celebrity. Much respect. Thanks again

[@ShutupAndPlayGuitarTutorials]

Hey Robbie. Thanks for the nice comment. I haven't stopped making videos! In fact I've made 180 of them since I made this one! Cheers, Andy.

[@michaelallard2640]

Nice comprehensive and accurate tutorial. Not enough guitar players paying attention to chords and rhythm these days. BTW, nice Les Paul !

[@gurnstein]

I've been playing this for a few years acoustically and you've just given me a few face palm, 'of course', moments. So my version is now revised. Thanks once again for another great interpretation.

[@clarencesmoot3375]

Nice, thanks I haven’t played this song in years and just listening to you now brought it all back, again thank you!

[@armandobolivar4988]

Your guitar is so warm, I love it

[@conifergreen2]

You are an amazing guitarist. Your videos are addicting. You capture the sound exactly. Thanks for the great lessons.

[@mikedreucci4236]

Great little nuances that are missed by most players, but make it sound so much better than simple chords alone. Thanks, learned a lot.

[@michaelnicholas2417]

Great lesson. Nice to see a demo of someone listening to one instrument and interpreting it on another. Also, a very good job explaining WHY he plays certain versions of chords as well as essential bass notes. This lesson is a perfect skill level for those players looking to expand musical vocabulary, by learning more 'expensive' chords(classic Andy Summer's take) and naturally adding a deeper and more professional element to their sound. Thanks, I'm looking forward to more classic 70s and 80s guitar lessons!

[@claudiafrers8923]

Uninterrupted solo: 17:38 to 17: 59

[@ChefClary60]

One of my all time favorite songs. Love the fact you transposed the keys.

[@oldglamrocker]

Awesome tutorial. I like most, have always played this with the wrong chords because what I thought my ear was hearing. Thanks for showing us the correct chords.

[@johnmcaleese8459]

Oh man! I've been hearing those lead licks since I was a young teenager. ALWAYS loved Hall +Oates. Fellow Philly boys !! Thanks Andy. Approaching another Fall in Philadelphia!! Lol

[@thomasdestry5188]

Awesome sound and your teaching is polished and calming. What a gift it is to make sounds like dat!

[@strivingx67]

I've been binge watching your videos since I discovered them a couple weeks ago. You blow me away with your attention to detail and great teaching style. You rock man. I'm a novice at best at guitar, but the things I get from your lesson are just invaluable. Thanks a ton!

[@heartlandrails]

Interesting. I play this acoustically. Love it. Nice changes and soooo soulful

[@michael_caz_nyc]

Leland Sklar plays alot with James Taylor & Carole King - too. Great session player. Nice job with this. My favorite from Hall & Oates - too. Your tutorials are so-thorough.

[@lonerwiththecamera]

Your lessons are always spot on, and I REALLY appreciate how you focus on teaching the song and not mindless banter. If you ever actually read the comments, could you do "Cut my Hair" by The Who off of Quadrophenia? It was a life changing album for me, and that song in particular always resonated with me. In fact, that entire album is one of the most amazing pieces of music ever written, and a masterpiece on every level as far as I'm concerned. Thanks for caring enough give your lessons to the public man.

[@paultakemura7874]

Agreed, Quadrophenia is a masterpiece.

[@jap126-ic2dk]

So beautiful !

wow what a clear lesson.thanks. one of my favorite tunes.

[@stkbkr1]

I agree with you this is one of my favorite H&O songs as well and you are a superfluous teacher, thank you. Rock on!!!

[@lcm93]

this is hilarious lol kept stabbing the dm7 chord all the way through start of the vid hahaha, very useful and very good though

[@reinortega23]

Lol

[@victorjbarker]

Yeah I was like PTSD with anxiety waiting to get into it...

[@Stryngz21]

😂

[@rcranky64]

I had to stop watching it, I thought I was gonna throw myself out a window

[@chrisandersen5635]

If you haven’t, you should really listen to some live versions. John’s guitar is more audible, and he plays some very nice rhythm parts that you don’t hear on the studio version. It adds a whole new dimension to the song.

[@andrewblack7852]

There are many. They are mostly helpful, but I like your vids the best

[@oldschoolman1444]

You rock dude! Great tutorial! 😎

[@123jozef]

You have to appreciate the diminished chords and the 7th chords for being used as stepping-stones. A lot of "un-seasoned" guitarists don't see the value of these chords in the beginning. They just simply use open chords, barre chords, major and minor chords. The blues players like open-tunings or just simple 7th chords for their 1,4,5 jams. If you want to write a really good song that relies on music having a more 'gentle' impact, you need to learn ALL chords and their positions, inversions, etc. (music theory baby, music theory) ~ You don't have to be a grand master guitarist or musician. Music theory is not that difficult and guitar teachers aren't that expensive. Learn these things I mentioned and you will watch your playing increase to levels you never imagined. You will find that when you listen to music, you can identify the sound of a whole-tone scale, diminished scale or chord, or even take it a half-step farther into the one and a half step scales and play with your Harmonic Minor Scales. Once you are there, you will be able to explain to someone why a diminished scale can be played over the top of a harmonic minor mode, just as first, thirds and fifths can be played over major and minor scales. This mysterious long-sleeved teacher has all of the best lessons. He gives you a little history about the guitarist, and then he explains the how and why of playing the tune. These tunes are all great pieces of music. Even if you think you are only an Eddie Van Halen fan, you will find that Eddie is equally knowledgeable about this side of music. Why? Music Theory, and for Ed, his childhood Classical Training on the Piano.

[@nickwells2558]

I agree man, just starting to delve into that area in terms of my music theory learning, and man do those chords sounds crisp!

[@jmenr1]

Outstanding! Both the performance and the tutorial... A warm Thank You :)

Hi,... your strings always sound so crisp!... that is to say, they always sound new. Do you change before every video or is there a type you like that remain fresh?> thanks,... your chan is my fav.

Great Job Thank you!!

Great player

[@carlosjacamo5841]

muchas gracias por sus lecciones

[@trikeytry1114]

Fantastic tutorial - Always immaculately put together - Any chance of a tutorial on 'Jelly Roll' by John Sykes/Blue Murder?

[@glenroyism]

great job, thank you

[@davidevans3175]

You have some of the best ears I've seen. Now, please give us "Freedom" by Jimi Hendrix. I asked you before and you said Hendrix was out of your league. But I've seen you do Van Halen and lots of other stuff that takes real ears to figure out. I know you can do it. Take it as a challenge. Help me Obi Wan Kenobi. You're my only hope.

[@charleswilson9654]

Well, it's not that Hendrix is entirely out of Andy's league. But, look at it this way, Andy gives 99.9% accuracy and works very hard to achieve such level of instruction with any song. With Hendrix, Andy might only achieve 97 or 98% accuracy. That isn't a slight, it's just incredibly hard to nail Hendrix at 100% accuracy. Now, even 97 or 98% might seem okay, but the reason Andy is head and shoulders above any other guitar instructor is that his accuracy level is at or near 100%. A couple percentage points less and then he would have to contend with afficionados telling him he's slipping. Decoding Hendrix is like trying to decode Allan Holdsworth or John McLaughlin. Sometimes one has to take a pass.

[@brianlaz]

nice breakdown. That C# add nine was flummoxing me.

[@broadcastmusic]

Great voicings!! Sounds great. What pickups do you have in your Les Paul? I want to change mine, and I’m looking for exactly that sound😀 can you list along with a link? Thank you 🎶🎶

[@scooobysnacksss4610]

Dude. Thank you.

[@johnmcaleese8459]

After watching this, 6 versions popped up. Easier, yes but not close to the accuracy of this lesson. Cheers !

[@mikedreucci4236]

Nice lesson

Love your lessons, could you so some little river band songs

[@loveguitars]

Superb!!

[@ShutupAndPlayGuitarTutorials]

+Mark Love Thanks so much Mark. cheers

[@SteelyPaw]

You have a beautiful gitar and it sounds really great. Is that a Martin semi hollow body? Thank for the lesson too, I'm not quite there yet, but I'm working on it.. I've been playing around 8 months now, getting better everyday. I just got a new Taylor Hollow Body Taylor Academy 10 electric pickups.. And I had a Squire Stradocaster solid body I got in the winter. I like the Tayor best but it's a more expensive guitar, but both makes it fun for me.

[@brandonpennington8503]

Perfect.

[@vebaeb]

Great video. You told how you got your sound but what guitar are you playing. Love the color and I know it's has to be a Gibson Custom

[@brock20s12]

nice lessons man! :)

[@rickyroughtussen9535]

Can you do Falconer and other power metal lessons?

[@alangriff1]

Agreed...you gotta get the right chords otherwise you're missing the point of playing it correctly and it doesn't sound authentic....fab once again

[@jeffvincent8904]

His addition of other instruments (like in Blue Sky) makes a perfect fit for soloists like me.

[@MrPiratebrain]

Hey can you do a tutorial on how to play bass guitar on Devotion by earth wind and fire.

[@MarkH457]

Great lesson, now I'm inspired to learn She's Gone. But there's not a good tutorial on KZbin. lol

[@rogerwhippo4253]

I wish you lived in Florida, as my neighbor!

[@sgtpepprs3]

Did you post a video for the end of the song solo? Are you going to post a video for the end solo song if you didn't?

[@andrescosta2992]

Great song ..... I find difficult to follow the song w/o the singing.... Still...I like your Chords... & the teaching it's great too. I take a suggestion...thnks

[@sgtpepprs3]

Cool! Another pretty cool H&O song that's pretty obscure is "Thank You For". The guitar is pretty solid in that track!

[@radicaster1]

Ok - I can practice forever and play like you but.... can I ever get my SC245 fat wide to sound as good as your Les Paul...?

[@scorps-hl8ue]

Im gonna practice this until i get it bang on

[@kimgrantloe]

thanks for the lesson....I realize how much I was butchering this song now

[@nicktrousers]

That's a ton of chords I'm gonna have fun with. hue hue The tone is amazing!!Hey I remembering asking this once before but who cares. What do you think of jeff buckley songs ?have nice day ! :D

[@ShutupAndPlayGuitarTutorials]

+Nick Trousers Thanks Nick, yeah JB is great. I don't have any of his tunes in the pipeline yet, but that could change! cheers

[@trevorsunderman187]

is that a custom? If it is and you bought it on ebay, I might have sold it to you lol either way, subscribed, love your teaching syle!

Thanks Trevor, it's a 1975 Deluxe. www.shutupandplay.ca/gear.html
