Excellent lesson. No-nonsense. Great camera angle, shows both hands, not a lot of panning and cutting, just a good, hard-core "this is how you play it" video. My favorite. Thanks very much!

I am studying your lessons for this song, Lindsay Buckingham, Jimmie Page, Scorpions, etc. It is such a blessing that you have taken time to post them. Your talent and style are phenomenal, and the results are great lessons, and magical musical experiences. Thank you so much for posting!

Thank heavens for RU-vid and thank heaven for people like yourself that take time out to put tutorials together. Learning a song the old way by 'ear' would have taken me an eternity so cheers for another lesson learnt!!

Love the way you play and explain everything here. Love the theory. Love the way jazz seems so fluid and simple here. Not overwhelming but just challenging enough to motivate!

One of the most beatifull acustic guitar themes ever. Just love it.

Just first rate explanation and instruction. I’m so impressed with your sincerity. Awesome.

thank you so much! I changed that "E7" in the 12/13 fret position, down to another shape - wich is: (Capo is 0 here) D string: 2, G string 1, H string 4, E sting 0. You still have that open ringing sound, but you don´t have to skip a string when picking

I've gotta tell ya Andy that all of the acoustic song lessons you've posted on your RU-vid Channel has been very well received at my shows. I've always been a stiggler for medleys - even my own original songs. So far, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Fleetwood Mac, etc. have been received with great applause and appreciation from my audiences. I'm looking forward to adding this one to one of my sets. Thank you so much Andy!

So thankful for people like you. Sharing your good teaching skills, and doing such a great job breaking things down.

A pleasure to listen and learn from you, as I appreciate the "theory" you throw in explaining the derivation of some of the sounds. For me, that adds value to the lesson aside from learning this beautiful song. Many thanks!

phenomenal song! I tremendously appreciate lessons like this. very clear. I like the string and fret callouts like G4, D3, E2, etc... so much better and clearer than traditional '3rd string, 4th fret' method. many, many thanks! great job! I was intimidated by trying to learn this song,but after finding this video I'm going for it! :-)

I used to play bass a while back and don’t even play 6 string guitar,but came here to find out what’s going on in this song with the beautiful melody,and boy,it didn’t disappoint

THANK YOU! This is so easy to follow along with and I picked it up in no time with your help.

finally a non-beginner and excellent tutorial/lesson. thank you very much, sir!

Fantastic you are the master .It couldn't better explain how to play this wonderfull song !👏👏👏🎸

When broken down to just the acoustic guitar it's amazing how James Taylor-esque it is! Thank you.

Great lesson! You truly stand out from the other you tube channels. Thank you.

I searched so much for this but I never found out. The algorithm has failed you. I subscribed and I hope you get the views you surely deserve.

a subtly difficult song to learn, took me a few weeks but here we are! thanks for the help.

Nice!!! very well explained, now i can play this theme with my singer, thank´s.

Thank you for beeing precise and concise. That's perfect.

Thank you so much for a person like you you and others who taught me through "You Tube"to learn guitar the right way!

This is the best instruction video on this ... PERIOD!

It is an awesome song and I totally agree it will find its place in the classic American songbook. A few years back I managed to pick up an ear version of this song using a flat pick, the occasional finger, and no capo. My other half likes to sing it and insisted I learn it...and I really had to work at it. When I was figuring it out I caught the descending chromatic...and worked around that....very observant of you to point that out. Thanks for great break down. I'm going to search RU-vid to find the Jesse Harris version. :)

This is the best tutorial of that song. Thank you very much indeed. This is simply awesome!

Tanks great tutorial!

Thanks for the lesson. I kind of learnt this song in a sloppy kind of way using basic chords but it's nice to finally see how to do it properly.

Excited to find your video. I heard the Pat Metheny version when researching guitars, one of my passions. Pat’s version has that incredible base because he had a specially made baritone guitar which he played exclusively on his album, One Quiet Night. The guitar is said to be so unique that it’s changing the standard for baritone guitars.

Thank you for your help

You're a great teacher. God bless you.

Wow. Sounds exactly.

Best lessons on youtube. Especially acoustic.

Thank you so much for this great lesson!

Thanks for a brilliant lesson...I was going a bit stale and this certainly freshens up my playing with a beautiful song with some new chords too.

Thannnkyouuu somuch for taking the time to teach those of us who have passion for songs like this and others, interestingly, the name of the street I live on is "Vista Del Sol", and to me, that is what this song and music means to me.

Great Tutorial!! You go through this so well. Thank you

The heck with it, I'll have a crack at learning it. Love the song. I find singing and picking a bit difficult but I might be able to find a chanteuse to help me out!!

Great lesson Andy! Thank you!

What a great player and teacher. Thank you sir.

Thank you for the great video. The tutor I found on Vis-a-Vis (mobile app) help me to start playing like that. Thanks both of you!!!

thanks for the tutorial!! (just my own reference points) 11:06 13:30

Excellent tutorial, thank you!

Omg this is beautiful... I can't wait to learn this!

Well done. Thanks.

This song is like taking a valium

That F#13 is a perfect example of proper four party harmony jazz voicing. I know this because I had lessons a LONG time ago from an amazing instructor named Harry Leheigh. Great tutorial btw, also ur Purple Rain tutorial was excellent.

Absolutely groovy and lovely im definitely gonna learn this 💖

Excellent lesson with good explanations.... THANKS!!

Really great and straightforward lesson on this superb composition. Everything you need is here! Thank you! That guitar sounds luscious!

Thank you very much, perfectly captures the song

Thank you for taking the time to put this great lesson out for all to learn Great tutorial

Great video! Beautiful played. Thanks!

Superb, thanks for the lesson. Great commentary just fills it out.

Hey, i want to express my gratitude for your great lessons. It´s truly inspirational to see such dedication and skill. I was wondering if you´re planning to do some Rory Gallagher, he is one of my favourite guitarists but sadly there are no quality lessons of his music on youtube.

I will surely learn this in 492 years..

I'm ever grateful for you tutorials! I also love it that you mentioned Pat Metheny's version of this song. It's on his 2002 "One Quiet Night" solo baritone guitar album.

Stellar, as always. Thanks, Andy!!!!

Sounds so nice : ). Thank you for sharing. I will work on learning this one.

You're too much man....love your playing and lessons! Bravo!

Excellent tuition! Thanks.

Thanks! That was stellar

Thank you.

A most excellent lesson, many thanks

wow very nice and yfigured out. ou reall got it

thanks for the lesson, appreciate it.

Great lesson and its nice how you through in very precious information about the chords!

Thank you! Once again you are the one we can trust . About Pat qmetheny on Joils Holland s show : I read he plays a barytone guitar in A with a nashville tuning . Cherrs from Paris

Great lesson on this song... Thank you hugely for this. I've wanted to learn it and you've made it approachable with your amazing tutorial! By the way, Jesse Harris wrote 4 songs off Norah's "Come Away With Me" debut album, and he co-wrote with Norah on "The Long Day Is Over".

Awesome! You and I have the exact same guitar. Only mine is the dreadnaught body. Love it brother man. Thanks for the helpful lighting and camera angle which really helps see the guitar and focus on it.

Excellent job sir!

Damn that’s beautiful

Nice change of pace. Well done.

Love your Lessons!! Thank you!!

thanlk you sir; excellent lesson, pleasure to learn from you.

Many thanks for that tuto , patient explaination, quality of the footage, accuracy of the version very close the original . . . Great !

Stellar lesson!

Excellent, really well explained!

thought this was going to be a lot easier to learn than it was to be honest! with the descending bass it sounds like blackbird so i thought it would be of a similar difficulty but was mistaken. Despite that, this video does a really good job of teaching it, well done

Perfect!!!!!

Love your lessons, this is a wonderful video-thanks:)

Thanks for this video! Very helpful!

It would absolutely make my day if you would make a lesson of (Norah Jones: Come Away With Me) because I can't find a decent lesson anywhere

best lesson ever mate, thank you for this

The kent nishimura version is insane

please do the tutorial of carry on by norah jones.

This is fabulous, thanks!

Another great video, thanks

Does anybody know where I can find the tabs of this version?

another great lesson. thank you

So great!

Wow, this is awesome! Definitely my style of video.

Great Vid. Had this dialed by the end of it.

Thank You!!

This song is great, and you really did it justice with this lesson. Could you do Come Away with Me? I haven't been able to find any good tutorials for that, but you always do an excellent job.

Magnificent!

Fantastic - Clear - Succinct Lesson my friend - thank you!

Great lesson

You are a masterfull player. Well done
