I just got me an old Ovation 1658 12 fret 12 banger because this song wouldn’t leave me alone. I had to fix the 44 year old guitar first but now I can learn the song and go out and play it for groups of old people (my peers). Thanks!
Thanks so much, Alonzo. This was my Mom's favorite song when it first came out. She passed away from alzheimer's recently. I've been so sad but laughed and giggled at the thought of playing this on my 12 string. She would have loved you.
Alonzo.... mate... brilliant Thankyou. I’m an old 12 stringer from way back simply because I’ve always loved the sound of the instrument. So thanks for refining your original training because I recon I can get this one down now. Cheers
Awesome!! No worries about the things you don't like on your earlier version - we love it all, and we are able to learn things here and there from both. It's all good! Thnx for the lessons. xo
Wow, you play this song so brilliantly, you nail the feel of it. I’m currently learning this song, and this video has made it so much easier to do so. Thank you!
This is so great and I'm so grateful for it. I absolute HATED this song when I was a kid and then over the last few years I just love it and can finally play it. Am I crazy or is the original in a lower tuning? The fingering seems like it works with the original can't get to the deepest notes, like they are tuned down. Any thoughts?
Hey thanks. The original by the Roftop singers came out in A flat, because the two Gibson B-45 12-strings they used were tuned down one half step from regular guitar pitch. The tune, though, was played in "A" positions just as in my video here.
@@alonzogarbanzo thanks again! I just got back into guitar to play some folk with my buddies. Thanks to your tutorial I pretty much got the song down last night. I have to keep fine tuning it but it's pretty much there. Watching you and learning to play it, I see that I always heard the song differently than what it actually is. It's funny that the other tutorials from other UA-camrs play the song almost identical to how I have always misheard it. You nail it. I love the notes, the jazz-ish chords and it's one of funnest songs to play. Again, thanks, you're a great teacher and the work you did on this video is A+++. Best I've ever seen.
Omigosh! I hadn't noticed! Just kidding. The reasons for using a 6 for instructional purposes are explicated early (0:27) in the video. Go to 10:29 if you want to hear it on my 12.
Alonzo Nice lesson. You cover a rather wide genre of songs. Is your guitar in this video a Sigma Guitar originally released by C.F. Martin and made in Japan? If so what model and what year was it made? Thanks
I meant teach it on a 12th St. instead of waiting till after 10 minutes. Why are you using a capo of the fourth fret when the original players do not use a capo I could not hear you? How how nice job!
You might not have heard me clearly. It's easier to demonstrate and for the viewer to see what's happening on a six. Why use a capo? To put it into standard concert pitch as that particular guitar is tuned down two whole steps. The original players (Erik Darli8ng and Bill Svanoe) didn't capo because they didn't need to: their two Gibson 12's were tuned a half-step down, so their "A" chords were in fact playing in the key of A flat.
Very nice Sir. Being someone who grew up and loves the music of the 60's, I thank you for the lesson.

Alonso , I've only just found your video. You are a great teacher and guitarist !. I'll look for more of your lessons.
I don’t care about the content (which is still good) I only care that an old man has over 1 thousand subscribers. He deserves everyone of them
Bravo. Best tutorial for "" Walk right In "" I came across on You Tube. I'm actually able to play this song now. Thanks.

Loved it -- great to see an update with the helpful video enhancements.

Hey, I really enjoyed the ‘07 version👌
Well, thanks, there's almost always someone in the audience who liked the act even when others are throwing tomatoes!
УМНИЦА.....СТАРИКАН....УВАЖУХА....ВЕЛИКАЯ УВАЖУХА....СПАСИБО....СТАРЫЙ КРУТОЙ ЧЕМОДАН.....
Nice job Alonzo!! 🙂
Hello to Alonzo and followers. This my first benefit, so thanks now and in advance.
Always dug this acoustic guitar riff.
heck yeah, really like this
this guy is cool !
Very good, thanks
Cool! Thanks
Amazing 👏
I still wish you had done this new and improved version on a 12 string
10:29
Hi again Alonzo, In the remake of the 'Walk Right In' lesson you are playing a 6 string cutaway guitar.
Omigosh! I hadn't noticed! Just kidding. The reasons for using a 6 for instructional purposes are explicated early (0:27) in the video. Go to 10:29 if you want to hear it on my 12.
Alonzo
Nice lesson. You cover a rather wide genre of songs. Is your guitar in this video a Sigma Guitar originally released by C.F. Martin and made in Japan? If so what model and what year was it made? Thanks
Thank you, and no, that's my Martin DC-Aura, vintage 2005.

fun song
Disappointed you did not redo it on the 12th St., makes a lot of difference to hear the intonation
10:29
Disappointed you did not watch the whole video before posting a complaint!
I have a feeling kurt cobain possibly came up with the riff for "come as you are" from this song
lol nah it was "eighties" by killing joke
@@mj.l haha oh ya definitely was that song
So many songs on UA-cam to learn & so little time....😂
Amazing!!
