      Andy, Andy, Andy! For as good as you are the number of views and comments is horribly askew, not that there is any reasonable association between views and comments, but, my Lord, the quality of yours is a welcome relief! The Bishop showed up on your Sollsbree Hill one shows you are loved more than you might realize. As Jim Morrison said, "The Future's Uncertain and the Enemy is always near!" RoadHouse Blues.

    Hi Andy. Heard you're not doing too great at the moment. Hope to have you back in the saddle soon. You are a fine teacher and such pleasant company of an evening when the family are away to bed and I can get my guitar out. Wishing you good health sir. Oh and I made a donation too yesterday. Everyone should if they are getting something from these tutorials. C'mon loyal subscribers! If Andy can't work just now he can't earn so I'm sure even the smallest of donations would be welcome

    Spectacular. You hit the nail on the head. I have tried to learn this before using barre chords and got to that exact point and couldn't consistently grip that chord. This is so much easier.

    I've always played it in D minor instead and it sounds very close to the record (except of course for the half tone key difference) and there are no strange bar chords there either. By far one of John's best imo, I love listening to the vocals only version followed immediately by the original one, can't get enough of it. Pure musical bliss. Thanks for the lesson, gonna try it your way later on today.
