    I have a room full of guitars and stopped playing after my wife committed suicide. Just never was able to really want to play again but watching your videos has made me get them back out. It just clicked. Thank you so much for your vids. What a blessing!

    I've used this tutorial ever since you first put it up. It's simple and effective and the best I've seen. Thank you soooo much. You're a great teacher.

    Pete, aside from having to take more of your time which I'm very grateful you give as much as you do for we aspiring guitarists I doubt anyone watching is going to complain that this is dragging on when it adds so much to our knowledge. Thanks for all you do on this site.

    Top job. Heard the acoustic version on the radio today. Such sweet chord combos and you nailed it! Thanks a lot.

    I just came to watch it again. I forgot what you did for the key changed chorus. But just can't get over how great this tutorial is. It's the best tutorial I've ever watched!

  • @jmaterne1
    @jmaterne1 5 лет назад +1

    Positively the best RUclips instructor I’be seen. And I’ve seen a lot of them. You get to the point, make the point very well and don’t “yak” incessantly. Keep up the good work. You’ve made me a much better player.

  • @6strings735
    @6strings735 6 лет назад

    What I like about you, besides your teaching style, is that you do songs that I would never have picked to learn on my own. Then I watch and realize how great these songs are to play. Thank you!

  • @michaelesgro9506
    @michaelesgro9506 4 года назад +2

    Holy...Shnikees? I've always loved this song!!! But what a beautiful and brilliant (bright, yet melancholy) chord progression this makes as a slower, acoustic ("unplugged") ballad-like progression...and I always thought it was that dancing bass line (which is brilliant in its own right) It truly is so beautiful and moving. I've met at least 4 people that were deeply affected by this song after a crushing break up, including myself. I would play it again and again way back then as it was popular at the time of a harsh romantic loss and I would roll around the floor sobbing (give me a break, I was like 19), anyway I'm a strange ducky, I thought, but later learned I was not alone in that. Bittersweet kind of thing. I am performing this as soon as possible!!! Thank you so much for this!!!

  • @brianboyce66
    @brianboyce66 2 года назад +1

    Great instruction, sir! All those distinct chord progressions in the song make it recognizable in a way that other videos just didn't cover. Bravo!

  • @duffgen62
    @duffgen62 6 лет назад

    That realisation that you've been playing a song all wrong for years. Cheers for correcting me and shared with the guitarists in my family.

  • @indiegemsthatjam3986
    @indiegemsthatjam3986 4 года назад +2

    Man you really nailed it ... thanks a bunch - you always find the simplest ways to catch all the good stuff. I stumbled upon that simple sliding lead they work in ... on the B string, on the 10th fret a few times (maybe sliding in from the 8th > 10th), then repeating the melody by sliding on the B stg from the 10th > 8th > 7th > 5th > 3rd, finishing with a slide from the 2nd to 3rd fret ---kinda hitting each note twice prior to the next slide down.

  • @johnhayes1641
    @johnhayes1641 3 года назад

    Just dusting off my 12-string while my other guitar is in the shop and for no reason this song came to mind as something to try on the 12-string. Your instructions are brilliant. Seems very accessible.

  • @MrCronBon
    @MrCronBon 11 лет назад +1

    Very clean player. The run at 3:30-3:35 adds a lot to the song. Love watching your vids, and tutorials. Not gonna make a request cause I'll take anything! Thanks for sharing Pete

  • @CelticMisfit
    @CelticMisfit 10 лет назад +3

    Wow! Thanks man. This is my favorite song and I have struggled with playing it over the years. I am mostly a bass player and have always loved the bass run and enjoy playing the bass part immensely. Your video really helps with the guitar parts. Thank you especially for the alternate playings after the key change. Love those!

  • @three609
    @three609 7 лет назад

    Oh how I Iove this song, especially the bridge and Chrissie's multitracked harmonies on the key word 'part'.
    Lots of subtleties here, so am very glad that I didn't try to work it out for myself! Really well done - many thanks.

    @BeakyPeartree 5 лет назад

    OMG, you are a genius! Thank you so much for posting this tutorial; being a somewhat beginning guitar player, I can't play B or even the B power chord yet. But taking the E shape and moving it to the 8th fret to play B and then to the 6th fret to play A is just what I needed! Thanks again, I will be learning this song from beginning to end tonight, until my fingers fall off!
