    By far the most articulate and accurate guitar teacher on youtube. I've learned much from you Andy. You've taken me from campfire strummer to a higher place on my guitar journey. At 65 years of age I'm playing better than I ever have in large part to your tutoring. Thank you. Your life and love for teaching guitar is making a difference for so many out here. Praying for you and your continued health improvements. Gods best to you and yours. 🙏❤

    "Good-time Charle's got the blues."

    He's back in black! And UA-cam is a better place, because of that! It's hard to say anything that hasn't been said already about your work Andy... I did not know this song, but I knew I was going to get something out of the tutorial, as usual. And am I ever glad I swung by the channel today. Beside the incredible accuracy of your transcriptions, whichever the level of the piece, you always seem to capture and push the Feel of the songs accross...so Yah: thank you, thank you and thank you.

    Thanks so much for this tutorial. I found your channel a while ago, working on your tutorials has really improved my playing (e.g., meeting the challenge of "Never Going Back Again" was a real turning point for me). So every once in a while I'd play around with the Goodtime Charlie melody but was not really satisfied - your tutorial clarified the arrangement - combining the recorded version with a live performance was a really cool idea - well done as usual

    Danny ‘O was originally from Spokane WA. Spokane was a logging and railroad town. The song was written because the area was going through hard times back in the’60’s. The song is about people leaving town and moving to California. The crazy thing is today Spokane and the surrounding areas are loaded with people from Southern California who sold their homes for cash and then bought homes in Eastern WA. Thanks for posting this song. I could never figure out the C fingering. One of my most favorite songs of all time. Hal Ketchum does a great version as well

    Hey Bro: I have admired your skill and humility for several years now, and I have always learned something from you that served as a catalyst for the Muse. I have been playing for over 55 years, and about 20-25 of that was on the Pro Tours.
    I still have several Albums of Original Material (no, not under my YT name) and a Member of SOCAN.
    In other words, suffice to say that “I know that of which I speak”.
    I was a working Singer/Songwriter back when this came out, sang it 1000 times all over North America, but until checking out your work a few days ago…. I guess I never really heard it. Listening to it several times a day since, and yeah man…
    Really sweet piece.
    Love your rendition…
    Anything in Model Tuning (Stephen Stills/Al Stewart) up your sleeve?
    A friend of mine from Montreal taught me Nostradamus (Stewart) in Open D back in the early ‘70’s, but it’s been a long while since I’ve been able to catch it all…
    If you’re interested???
    Merry Christmas from British Columbia, Canada. -36 C this morning…
    Thank you 🙏
