you're definitely not alone Big Stu.......it'll take me about 18 years by my reckoning lol i really shouldn't watch this guys videos (as much as i appreciate them) - makes me feel inadequate.
I don't sing so playing songs that include the melody of the lyrics are the songs that I love playing the most. thanks. Excellent instruction as always.
but this is finger picked and from my experience such songs are much easier to sing along to than those where you strum; much easier to keep the rhythm while also singing
I am 70 years old and have been playing guitar for more than 50 years. I absolutely love the way you break down a song and make it easy to grasp. Thanks for the great lessons!
Well, merkitroid, me too. Nice to know you! 73 in 2024 and playing since 13. And I agree, Andy is a true gem. Been playing his arrangements for 8 years, and every one is so lucidly explained and brilliantly played. Send him some love by buying a few of his TABs, which are 100% accurate to his videos.
Your ear is amazing. And your ability to capture and distill multiple instruments in a single guitar arrangement without losing the essence of the original song, is a real gift. You are a great teacher too.
I have worked in this for decades. You finally gave me the best alternative to the tune! I will be donating more in the future. Your lessons are perfectly detailed and if there are people out there who think it is too tough, you make it so we can see how it can be accomplished, Take your time and practice. Great Stuff!!!
I love the way you comment modestly towards the end 'It sounds really good I think'. It sounds friggin' awesome dude!!!

Thank you very much! Your tutorials are fantastic. I learned your version of Eleanor Rigby, with all the details. Very beautiful! Congratulations and thank you very much! From Brazil.
Your tutorials are succinct, clear, and brilliant. No self-aggrandizement and wasted space. Your arrangements are right on. I agree with other comments on Beatles tunes. Keep em coming. I've donated before and will do so again today. I love your music and your low key, modest comments. Again, brilliant.
Honestly... I cant get enough of this. There is something in the harmony that my head loves but my ear cant pick up exactly what it is. Love this! Great job and thank you very much for this gem.
This is one of your finest and most genius transcriptions and interpretations Your always in the pocket with amazing accuracy tone and timing Happy holidays
Man, this is doing my head in at the moment, but it is by far the best rendition of this song. You make it look so easy !!! Taking into account the bass, rhythm and melody is fanfukintastic. Only one word for your lessons.... Awesome !!! Must keep practicing, practicing, practicing. It will not beat me !!!
Thanks Randy, as always very technical but you reflect the care, compassion, wisdom, and passion for your craft, you are not like any other instruction on you tube, you rock!
This is HARD. Wow. I've been working on it several hours a day for the past 3 days. I can play all the sections, but those fills on "where do they all belong?" are just killer.
I know the feeling. In my experience with Andy's arrangements I spend a few weeks learning the notes but can't quite turn it into music. Then suddenly after 2-3 months NOT playing it, I just find myself playing the way Andy does. My fingers know where to go, and my subconscious has figured out the touch. It always feels like magic. Once learned, you'll never forget one of his pieces.
Got it all memorized; just have to smooth it out. I find the hardest part is that stretch on the intro. To get the the bass down I walk through it very slowly over and over, and after a while it starts to become intuitive. This is definitely the hardest piece I've tried to take on, but very satisfying in the end. Thanks for the opportunity!
delcapslock100 Yeah bro agreed. That stretch is killer, I'm slowly getting comfortable with it but it's definitely a work in progress. I'll actually take the time just practice that stretch alone while playing/learning other songs just to get it down. Not gunna give up, I want this.
Mate thank you everso . Been playing long , but heard this 2 year ago and thought yipee ill try it . Gave up avsolutely no chanc, came across it again last week OMG i can do it . Dont know why but over moon and loving it 😊
One amazing thing with Andy lessons. First as you see demo, you think "wow! I need this to learn". Once you started you think "it's absolutely impossible for me, better give up!" But, after some time it "clicks" ! , and you get it right. And the last thought- that's so easy! It happens every time with every lesson. And what you really need is practice. Just "shut up and play".
Excellent version and impossible to beat tutorial. I'm really impressed how you've managed to take us so smoothly and with so much patience. Thanks a lot!!!
You're a great teacher. The quality of your sounds is so beautiful. So many colors and tasty overtones are floating about everywhere. It never gets out of hand of course. It's just awesome.
Very well taught and you make it easy to understand... thank you very much ... best guitar teacher on RUclips I've come across in years ... I'm now a dedicated subscriber.
Brillant arrangement: so fesable and truely effective at the same time. I love the use of the open strings armonizing and interwoving the melody, with continuous alternation of timbre and octave. That really gives the sense of the superbe arrangement of the original song, wich is the utmost example of what an arrangement can pull out of a two chords (wich is almost one, indeed) melody. Thank you!
Brilliant as usual! Amazing synthesis of the quartet. Segovia said the guitar is an orchestra seen thru the wrong end of a telescope. You just supplied proof. Thank you for this!
A: " Sounds really good I think" wtf it sounds amazing! B: " I could put some more work into this to sharpen in up a bit" Please dont that would blow my mind and I`d die. Thank you so much for that composition . I look forward to the time it will take me to learn what you have shown me. (years) I need to get some overtime work to donate to you for this lesson.
Only took about two days to get it down so probobly 5-7 hours in total, very fun song to play! The best Ive found on this channel too. Ive only been playing for about 2 years aswell, and from readimg the comments im not entirely sure how people can work on this for so long. I didn't find that it was overly complicated, but of a challenge though. Thank you for this tutorial
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I found it much more coherent and understandable compared to most, and I loved the sound better too. Wonderful video!
You do such a beautiful job with this song. Your recent Beatles post reminded me of it. You have really taken this particular song to the next level and I totally agree with the comment below mine.
Really nice Andy. Superb nuances with a big full sound. Tricky fingerpicking. I can get it at 1/4 speed-the quick fills at the end of the chorus are rough to strike cleanly mainly because my picking hand ring finger isn't cooperating despite years and hundreds of hours practice. It's all technique
when playing the riff that's one octave higher (during the intro), I like to bar across the seventh fret and include the e-note on the a-string and thus keep the bass going
That looks like a Martin DC-16e you’re playing. It sounds wonderful and I’ve got my eye on one of those. I too am having trouble with that intro stretch. I put a capo on the second fret and it’s helping a bit. After I learn a song, those stretches seem easier without it. Hope that helps some of your viewers. Thanks for the excellent tutorial!
Sounds so good. Thanks! I’m not good enough to play both parts together. I suppose I’ll cheat a bit and record the base rhythm to use as a backing track until I get it all down a year from now.
My biggest struggle? Getting that damn thumb timing down! But I finally worked out an easy way to do it. Grab a metronome and slow it right down, then play the thumb on every beat.
I'm just starting this and that initial stretch in the opening licks - which Andy makes look effortless - my fingers don't want to stretch like that. The index-middle finger stretch while the ring finger arches over to the low E string. My fingers no-likey. But I will stretch them into submission and be victorious.
Thanks. That should keep me going for around 18 months.
I'm with you Big Stu!
And me :) lol
Yep me too!
Maybe not me...me? 2-3 months..lol
you're definitely not alone Big Stu.......it'll take me about 18 years by my reckoning lol i really shouldn't watch this guys videos (as much as i appreciate them) - makes me feel inadequate.

He plays the whole arrangement at 18:26
- great playing btw

100% agree! No screaming, no hat - just hands and guitar. And his very likable personality.
The tab is easily worth the 8$. Have kept me occupied for hours and helps a ton! I Love it!

His name is Andy
I love the way you teach us all these things. You are a great teacher.
This is HARD. Wow. I've been working on it several hours a day for the past 3 days. I can play all the sections, but those fills on "where do they all belong?" are just killer.

Agreed with above comment, love the single guitar acoustic stuff rather than multiple guitars. Great for "bedroom" guitarists :-)
I like both -- I've learned a lot watching multiple Guitars and solo arrangements

delcapslock100 Not an easy thing to get down for me at all
Not easy for sure, but not as hard as I expected. I still can't play it cleanly, but getting there. Good luck!

Wrap around left hand thumb for the C on the 8th fret - makes it way easier for me

Leonid Belousov agree
Leonid Belousov
eh eh are you reading in my mind? that's exactly my thought! totally agree
Very true, fingers love it, but must say the intro stretch from 6th string to 2nd bit testy for sausage fingers 😢
You have the best lessons I’ve seen. You help me out a great deal and I thank you.
What an amazing sound. This is what I call playing the guitar.

As per usual Andy, nothing short of AMAZING Canadian teaching! ;-)
I really enjoy the sound that you've created here. Is there anyway I could get tabs?
Rt
Bro he's not a drug dealer
Just improvise around what he's showing you...
@@paulklingenberg7614 truly capturing the essence of the beatles
I believe Andy has his tabs for sale via his web site which should be linked.
One of the best cover on RUclips 👍 Fantastic ! 🌹
I didn't learn this yet but it was exactly what I was looking for, instant like thanks so much will be learning this over the next few days
Thx dude your lesson is awesome and well explained!
From France
I love this arrangement! Thanks for another excellent lesson!🎸🎸🎸

I love this arrangement. Thanks!
Great lesson. Thanks.
it's a great song that you are playing on your guitar thank you for sharing peace
Absolutely awesome job👍🏻🔥🤟🏻🎸 Alot thanks 😊😎✌🏻
Wow. Didn't expect that arrangement at all! You are doing public service good sir!
I will now Shut up and play your masterpiece cover thank you for this.

Hey Jane. It's not a Martin....there's a link to my gear page in the description box below each video. I list everything I use there. cheers
Fantastic arrangement
That is beautiful, amazing! It's so easy to listen to ;-) Thanks for sharing your wisdom!!
Outstanding arrangement, thank you very much!
Sounds so good. Thanks! I’m not good enough to play both parts together. I suppose I’ll cheat a bit and record the base rhythm to use as a backing track until I get it all down a year from now.
Just fucking phenomenal, love this arraignment and all of your lessons man!
Great arrangement.
This is just awesome dude. Great job

Thanks this is great but can you please release a tab I can read for it as well as I can’t keep up with your pace!
there's a tab on his website but it'll cost you 8 $ or so
Dude you are amazing!
Wow! Awesome -- well played !!
Man, thank you so much for this...so much fun to learn and almost have it down! Great arrangement
Brilliant thanks 🙏
Ah, Andy, your talent is exceeded only by your modesty! You make tricky, complex pieces look as easy as breathing, nice work brother!
Good job-good lesson. Actually a very simple song that sounds complicated.
fantastic job! thanks for sharing
Very cool arrangement Andy. I'm glad you don't use a thumb pick! :-)
Exquisite rendition superlatively played just simply a wonderful wonderful piece that you've put together here beautiful
