Thanks for watching. Cheers
Thank you for not talking for 5 minutes up front, then telling us the names of each string. This is how a guitar tutorial should be.
That's because this video ain't for beginners
"Shut Up & Play"! :)
***
Edit, because I'm chatty: This guy is my favorite online guitar instructor (certainly one of the most accurate out there), and in truth I wish everything I wanted to learn was covered by him.
Amen
Lol
@@miguelmanzano3960Well this song isn’t for beginners either.
This was posted 6 years ago so you'll probably never see this but I have to say it anyway. You Sir, are the best. That means there is no-one better. Thank you.
George Harrison was a genius, ahead of his time. As you say, a simple tune but brilliantly put together. You are just an awesome teacher, and there’s no one better on UA-cam.
good lesson.he shows how it's actually played.
its always better to play the chords and melodies like the song and slow it down instead of calling every note out like." play bflat note on the 1st fret 5th string, g note 5th fret on the 4th string," etc... makes it harder to follow that way.
I read somewhere that Donovan was a big influence on George and John’s fingerpicking.
1. You put the guitar at the center of the screen and not your face like the other self-satisfying 'tards
2. You started the video with a demonstration of yourself playing the song exactly the way George did
3. You don't waste my time
Subscribed, liked, and shared. If I had money, I'd donate. Thank you so much!!
Completely agree. He plays the song first so we all know exactly how this tutorial will teach us. No need to waste time watching a 30 minute video with someone who can't be bothered to put a demonstration in the very beginning.
We never stop learnin' the geetar:))
He might have been seriously disfigured by a fire. You don't know he isn't self-satisfying. His playing and clear instructions mixed with a genuine enthusiasm to help his peers probably satisfies the shit out of him.
TheNoBSZone 1. You have a UA-cam channel with no videos.
2. Your avatar suggests that your name is Thaddeus Thimblebrain.
3. You do waste my time.
4. You think we give a shit.
+Cool One Oh yeah, you've got some really quality content on your channel man. Who cares if he has no videos? You just said no one cares about his comment, yet do you think anyone cares that he has no videos? That is so irrelevant.
Finally someone who doesn't bullshit with a intro
exactly, love the detail,very important if your going to teach a song, awsome job,thanks mate.
ABSOF***INGLUTELY.
No 9 minute videos with 2 minutes of guitar
As far as Im concerned, this is the most beautiful thing George Harrison ever played. Listening to this tune/song almost brings tears to my eyes. I feel my soul expanding. Thank you, George, for leaving us this. And thank you,sir, for showing us how to play it. Listening to it over and over is great ! BTW, your guitar is absolutely gorgeous. I love the wood and the nice natural matt finish. The sound, too, is delicious.
The ending of this song ( 2:08 ) has resonated with me for over 45 years.
I feel you.
Greatest ending to a Beatles song I’ve ever heard and I’ve heard all there songs
I remember watching George and Paul Simon doing this song on SNL way back when (just looked it up it was 1976) and thinking I would l’d give anything to be able to play this song...well 40+ years later I’m giving it a go and surprisingly it’s sounding pretty good right out of the box thanks to this awesome lesson....back then you had to do this all by ear and I had no patience for that....
Only a sweet person like George could come up with such a sweet song....it sounds like the Sun is melting like honey and showering on the world ❤️🌞
The guitar melodies is one of the most beautiful thing I've ever heard. Thank you for the tutorial. And thank you George for giving us such a beautiful song.
Best teacher on UA-cam, I remember growing up , no internet, I used to learn by ear, I would constantly get up and move the needle on my vinyl record, hundreds of times, now it's unbelievable the content on you tube,
So much easier, with great teachers, please donate what you can it's a good thing to do . I guess you know I'm old, lol
Thanks for this,great teacher, I,ve nearly worn out a set of elixir strings learning this , I met George in87 on Hamilton Island shook his hand what a great guy he was. I play this and other Beatles songs every Sunday in a cafe in Ulmarra near Grafton now au Your teachings help me so much thanks and keep it up cheers , Theo
I Love your lessons. Finally I have found a teacher who assumes the student can actually play. I can't stand lessons that stuff around with finger and frets for every note !! You talk about the music !! Chords, Notes, Rhythm, and most importantly start it off with the overview of the structure. And to top it off you really know the songs !! Thank you ..thankyou !!
tweed guitar Thanks a lot! I'm glad you're digging the lessons. cheers
Not only that but you choose some really great songs!
Just gotta say thank you ! Our host Andy's ability and willingness to explain the 'how to' 'for dummies' "technical finesse" that is required to achieve such a dynamic feel in our guitar playing is absolutely invaluable! Cheers!
This is the perfect example of how to teach and play guitar. Great song, one of the best acoustic songs ever written. Thank you for your time and effort!
Love your teaching style, I learned this song 30 years ago! I always felt that a few pieces were missing but watching you has helped me see the little parts that I was missing:) thank you so much. Please do more, keeping playing. Music keeps the soul balanced and alive. Rock on!
Thanks for the kind word George, and agree with you about the power of music. cheers
I love how his "bad" example still sounds perfect meanwhile I've been at this for hours and still suck. *sigh*
+Narry Storan Thanks Narry. It's all really just about how much time you can put in bro. cheers
Andrea S hours? Anything you aren't perfect at on a guitar takes as long as you need. No rush
take your time, it normally takes me about a week or two to play a song correctly, and another week or two to polish up the playing and tempo, It takes practice, and practice definitely pays off 👍
That's I think the biggest mistake beginners make: making wrong assumptions as to how quickly one should learn something.
There I sat, frustrated after practicing Chick Corea's Spain for an hour or so, because I couldn't get it right.
Next guitar lesson I talked to my teacher about it, and he went "Oh I needed a month or so to learn it." That Satriani solo? Yep, couple of weeks.
I know your comment is two years old, but this goes for all beginners. Take your time. And practice slowly, that's how new connections are formed in the brain. Your brain has to learn it correctly to speed it up.
keep playing!!!
Thanks so much this is easily the best tutorial I’ve ever seen. You explain the ENTIRE song not just the first 45 seconds of it. Thank you SOO much for the great video.
Awesome step by step. So much fun just playing the tune. Thanks for sharing!
Great enjoyable lesson, the true way to learn. Not only by notes but also by ear, feeling, dinamics etc...
Thank you very much!
You've captured the essential thing of this song. This tutorial is both technical and inspirational. What a great guitar lesson!
What I like about you is that not only are your videos incredibly accurate and visually easy to follow, not to mention what an AMAZING teacher you are!!!!.....but you also love the Beatles!!! :)
Never thought I’d be able to learn this and now I can’t stop playing it…literally every time I touch my acoustic I have to put a capo on 7th haha

sir please do a tutorial on nick drake cello song please
This is the best lesson of "Here comes the sun" on youtube... period. Very well done. Thank you Sir!
Thank you so much. Going with a softer pick was the magic sauce I was looking for. I've been struggle with this, and the lighter pick is making this so much easier and sounding much less harsh.
Excellent video ! I've been playing guitar for 60 years. Straight forward tips, very simple to comprehend instruction , much appreciated !
Excellent tutorial, straight forward. Clear visuals and explanations. Thanks for a great job.
I gave up all the stupid guitar tutorials on UA-cam a year ago. Now (one year later) I watched your video and I am a pro at guitar now. THANKS MAN!!
Best tutorial of Here Comes the Sun on UA-cam. Listen to this guy and you'll play Here Comes the Sun the way one would dream. Way I learned it few years ago.
Excellent tutorial sir. You did it justice. Especially the bit about explaining how important the feel and strumming of the song is.
Thank you for your attention to detail and at the same time pointing out the dynamics and letting it go. I think they are two different and important departments and your attitude has opened a new frame in my mind. Thank you very much!
Thanks for the "minor details" and subtleties as in this & all trax it adds realism, power of dynamics & the original ideas!
Great tutoríal, and George is a real genius, a real gift for the musical.
I love your demonstration.you've analyzed the song well that anyone who is average in guitar can understand.thanks so much
Trying to play this by the music score just was impossible. This lesson made it possible to impress my family with this great George Harrison song. Love all the Shut up & Play tutorials.
I think this is not only one of the finest acoustic guitar songs ever written but the simplicity of your video and approach to the tune is amazing!!!! It is a song I never wanted to attempt for FEAR...but you have REMOVED the fear and I will learn it
right to a tee!!!! Thanks so much for this wonderful teaching!!!! Tim Fitzpatrick/ Wasaga Beach, Ontario.
Tim Fitzpatrick Hey Tim, I'm glad you're enjoying the lesson. It's a real timeless song for sure. Thanks for watching! cheers
absolutely the most comprehensive tutorial for one of the greatest songs written, liked and subscribed, thanks for posting this..
Fantastic. A tutorial on MAYBE the greatest song ever written: Doesn't get any better. Thank you so much.
Wow, never thought I could actually play this great song! Now I can! I’ll donate and support you, I really appreciate the time and effort you put into your lessons. Thank you all the way from Mexico.
Great talk about the look and feel too. Really appreciate your instruction!
The best guitar tutorials on the net! Thanks so much! I donate.
You, sir, are a beast. I'm a decent intermediate but every time I watch your videos my first reaction is "OMG I'll never play like that". Incredible articulation and accuracy, But you seem like a really nice guy too, and we really appreciate the work you do. Thanks!
loved everything about the way to play this song. Way to go!
Thank you for showing everything first because there’s just one specific part I need but can’t learn by ear and this is mega helpful
Just love your tutorials, have sent you a few bucks over the years to support your channel and will continue to do so. You are my favorite guitar guy. lol. I know how much effort it takes to dissect a song and thank you for all your efforts and enormous contribution i feel you are. You have allowed me to learn some songs I have loved for years but just couldn't work them out. Thanks so much for all you do and I recommend any one else who reads this to give you few bucks too.
Can't help saying every time how well you explain besides your AWESOME playing
Thank you for making me a better musician. I hear details in songs that I never heard before watching your outstanding lessons. Everything from using capos, finger picking, note articulation, tone, easing off my gain, etc.. I could go on and on.
I found your channel by happy accident, and I'm hooked.
MyworstEnemy Thanks again bro! I really appreciate you taking the time to leave such a positive comment. cheers
You're a great teacher! simple and easy to follow.no unnecessary crap.thx mang,inspires me to learn more
That Baby Taylor sounds great . I think your lessons are the most comprehensive and accurate. Thank you .
Fantastic video! Of all the tutorial videos I've seen, this one is the best I've seen yet. Your method of teaching suits my needs to a T. I've been trying to learn how to play this song right for a good 25 years, and now it seems so simple at what I was missing!
My Man! You are one of THE best instructors on the interweb. Thank you so much for doing what you do the way you do it!
Man, I love the layout of your tutorials. Keep the good vibes coming!
Thanks Albert. Love this song!
By far the best teacher n guitar tutorial lesson ,I learnt a lot from u Sir ,THANK YOU !
thank you SO MUCH for this tutorial. I'm learning so much with your videos!!!
yeah. GREAT song GREAT tutorial. After 8 months of crappy weather and you've had enough freaking rain,
the first nice day of the year you turn on the radio and hear that intro. WOW. Instantly your launched into summer
and a bright outlook. This year the the weather turnaround just happened to be the first day of summer.
Of all days. If you have vinal or a cd might as well just let it play into the medley. Timeless.
Thanks for the tutorial, appreciate it
thank you very much for teaching me this brilliant George Harrison song.
you are a very clever player to be able to work it out so well. Your post was very helpful and nicely put together!
THANK YOU once again
Great! I wonder how you got this. And what a genius George was! The Beatles were and are the greatest anyway! Thanks a lot!
This is hands down the best tutorial of this song I have ever seen THANK YOU THANK YOU SOOOO much for this.
best guitar teacher on the internet that I've ever come across in all my 20 years on here.
If you're hands are down how are you playing the guitar?
40 + year player and I would agree I really appreciate how he structured this lesson! Right to the point and covered each section quickly. Prefect & Thank you!
Hi. Great tutorial. Especially like the way you taught how to get the feel, the dynamics, the almost casual sound that's so important with this song ... and I'm nearly there thanks to you. Excellent and many thanks. Tom
Such an amazingly beautiful song.
I wish I could learn EVERY song from you but the world is just not that perfect. Your attention to detail is second to none
The best tutorial on this song by far! Thanks man.
Great lesson and incredible website....straight forward instructions. This teacher leaves nothing out. Best website I've come across for guitar lessons.
Best to the point tutorial I've seen. Thank you so much!
Wow absolutely spot on, description of play style and breakdown of song perfect, nice one bud helped me complete my understanding of song, thanks.
This is the best lesson on this song by far!!
I'm a 70 years old guy and i don't no how long it takes... but someday i will play this beautiful song on the way you play , well done!!!
Thanks for the assistance. I'm attempting to learn this finger picking the entire song. It's not easy, but the turnarounds make it well worth it!
Awesome! I have been looking for how to play this song the RIGHT way for years. Thank you so much.!
This is SUPER helpful : ) I'm learning this song for a friend's wedding, and this video made it pretty easy. Thank you so much!
My short fingers can’t quite reach the high string but I posted it with mistakes anyway! Thank you! As always, there’s no way I could’ve learned this gorgeous song without your instructions!!❤❤❤
Thank you what a great lesson. Short and to the point.
I enjoy your style of teaching and the sweet sound of your Taylor mahogany GS Mini. I bought one for traveling and it's the one I always play at home too.
What beautiful music. Beautifully played, on a beautiful instrument. Thank you so much. Very easy to follow lesson. I'd love that guitar.
Fantastic really well explained and really did help me to get the beautiful Harrison song off .... thank you
Thank you Mike. This vid. Is just great. You have a great formula and a great delivery. I can foresee many hours of pleasure ahead. Congrats on getting it so right, cheers , Colin Stevens.
You are really great and make it look so effortless. If I keep at this for a year maybe I'll be able to play a recognizable version. The music you created here in the tutorial has such an authentic sound. I think George would approve. Thanks for this.
+John Vander Wyden Hey John, thanks so much for the nice comment. cheers
I loved this tutorial. So simple and easy to learn. I've got this song to the T from this video n giving myself a fist pump... Thank you so much.
Thank you for that video! sometimes I just need these 2:30 minutes to see how to play a tune, and this one was very good.
I'll join the chorus of yayys. These lessons are great. One neat quirk is how you "fast forward" your strumming to get back to where you want to be. I do that too!
Amazing lesson, I can play it now, thanks from a big George Harrison fan!
This is the best tutorial for this song! Thankyou for sharing! God Bless!
Thank you so much from a french guys enjoying your tutos.Stéphane
Never thought it was this simple. Thank you for the tutorial. 👍🏼
hands down the best lesson i've ever seen of this song
Great tutorial, love your playing and this guitar. I just got a Taylor min koa e and just love it. Gonna try this song on it now.
brilliant teaching, best online ive seen, great song and tune. im on it. thanks
good in depth lesson helped me fix errors in my worked out version!
Awesome. Thank you. I was missing some parts of it. Also, thank you to the late George Harrison for writing this beautiful song.
Late to the party but I just recently discovered your work. This song has given me troubles because I fell into the bad habit if playing it wrong. This video is helping me to repair decades of damage. My problem was the actual notes in the right places. I sounded okay and it was recognizable but I knew it was wrong. This and Angie lol. Total thumbs up. I read your comment about a thumbs down bumming you out. I look at it as a thumbs down with no constructive explanation is meaningless. Who knows the reason or intent. Some folks lead a thumbs down kinda life. This is the best tut of this song I've seen, thanks.
crap man you ought to do this for a living lol I was watching this and said this guy is doing a great job and then I realized it was you! I didn't see the Les Paul so... you fooled me. Great incredible job as usual. You are the best at this hands down.
Dude, you are just awesome, love all your videos, so easy to follow and very accurate to the song. Thank you so much.
Great lesson!You do a wonderful job as always..My playing has improved since I've checked your lessons out for sure.Thanks for all you do for us.
Thank you for your well presented tutorial ,It's concise and easily understood more than happy to donate regards Vic
I never realized the complexity of this song. It is a wonderful melody.
Very helpful. You did a very thorough tutorial. Thank you.
Simply wonderful 👍👏👏👏
Excellent! I highly recommend! Thanks.
thank you.your teaching is superb.my smiles wont stop
