By far the best guitar instructor on YT. Accurate, no fat, just the info you need in digestible bites with an emphasis on the details. Perfect. Thank you sir.

Such a beautiful song! i only began listening to Metallica after having ignored them for many years and had not realised how damned beautiful much of their music is. I have been learning guitar a couple of years now nd have developed a curiosity about many bands I have not ever properly listened to. I have to say I was so surprised and learning their music on guitar is such a delight. At age 62, I had wished so much I had done this so many years ago. I love your video, you have a nice calm way of instruction and intend to follow many more ! X

There are many people out there doing "the teacher"... Some are good, a few are very good. You are excellent, thank you. Mark from Italy

You're awesome. It's done with highest precision and also with heart and soul.

Such great instruction. The way I can see things so clearly with the black background and you take care to show your every finger movement. Thanks again as always,

It’s not just your expertise with playing the guitar, it’s also the way you convey what you are teaching. You have a very soothing and patient sounding voice which makes the student (even if just on RU-vid) receptive to what and how you explain everything. Maybe you’re a teacher (not just guitar) in real life......if not, you should be!

Another classic played and taught wonderfully. I am on state benefits and struggling with the £, but when i get some spare cash i promise i will donate. It's guys like you that have kept me going the last couple of years. I wanted to give up on life totally through illness but picking up a guitar again and learning great songs has put some sparkle back. Thank you so much.

It’s perhaps the most beautiful guitar work ever done… in the history of guitar

Love all your vids! Pure quality. I like the black on black leaving the focus on the guitar. Thanks for all the great help!

It will take me 125 years to play 10% of how you play! You a king

when i first picked up the guitar, 2 years ago, this was the first song i tried to play. I failed hard... 2 years later, i can play it, mostly thanks to you, the intricate parts, everything...just sounds soooo right...:D

Absolutely fascinating, such a wonderful sound and so beautifully demonstrated here, makes me want to try to play again as I gave up years ago!

For me you are the best guitar teacher in the net. Very helpful explanations, easy to follow, even for a 70 years old guy like me (I have rediscovered my guitar after my retirement). Thanks a lot and best regards from Germany.

I have been learning to play for the past 10 years from teachers online. Once you have the basics down pat you will not find tutorials than Shutup & Play! Thank you for all your hard work and keep them coming. Why the hell anyone would give this a thumbs down is beyond me.

Another classic from you, Andy. As usual, beautifully played, explained, and such a pleasure to watch and listen to. I return to this one when I’m exhausted from getting through ‘Big Love’. Once again, thank you so much.

1972-75 I played and lost interest due to no lessons and alone. Now at 66, I wish we had you and others and RU-vid. I would still be playing today

I have watched a lot of video lessons on how to do this song and this one is by far the most accurate and detailed, in line with the original. I enjoy the ease And calm of the instructor’s teaching and he really explains things in such depth that much of the assumption and guesswork has been taken out of the lesson. I tried this two years ago and gave up since it was too advanced and I have only been playing for 1.5 years at that point (I was a 43 year old beginner). Now, two years later and with the help of this lesson, I now can play the first four minutes. Some parts very slowly, but it is progress. This is THE lesson to follow if you want to play it right and play it well. Thank you.

Just love that intro of one of the most beautiful rock balads...sounds so perfect on your acoustic guitar...gotta have that jewel!😍🎵🎶🎸

Repetitiveness slow and explainations r Kool to a beginner like how he doesn't shut his mouth and talks you through it!🤯👍

This guy really nails it !!..just amazing 🎸🎸

Life has been so good to me and nothing else matters.

This is unbelievable! I bought my guitar 3 months ago and thanks to your in-matched tutorial can play my all time favorite! Beautiful sound you have, amazing technique. By far the best tutorial I have seen on RU-vid. Thank you!!!

Been watching this series over and over, finally motivated to pickup the guitar again. Thanks for making and sharing

You have raised the bar for online instruction and information...Thank you so much..your skill level surpassing most all and humbly.. Dr Paul
