Hal, awesome lesson, I always like that songs from the 70’s since 60-70’s were my era of music. Nicely done, there were a few chords that I am not familiar with, but that is what life is all about, learning new things ! Have a great day !

[@oatnoid]

Love this song. Your rendition and instruction were flawless. Great voice! Subscribed.

Thank you very, very much!!! Wonderful guitar lesson👍👍👍🤘🎸

[@crankletsplay1]

Wonderful tutorial. This is actually the first song I learn on the guitar, but I think I will save the fancy finger picking for later and play the chords as they are. I surely will try to get it done, when I've played a decent amount of time and at least mastered some songs. Until then the regular chords will work

Other suggestions: dirty work by steely dan and don’t think twice it’s alright (the peter, paul and mary version)

[@quailstudios]

@@axelinaandersson7118 Three suggestions. Not bad. Thank you Axelina. I was thinking of doing a video on American Pie. I'd have to learn Dirty Work and Don't Think Twice, It's Alright, although that one would be easier. I'll write these down. ;)

How I did never hear that this was about The troubled genius Vincent Van Goh. Funny how it took a tutorial to hear the actual meaning. Great lesson you make it look very easy but anyone who plays knows it takes some practice to pick out the timing and not deviate too much from the rhythm

[@quailstudios]

When I first heard the song I didn’t know either. Thanks for watching Andrew!
