    My deepest sympathies to the Tyer family. I was sad to hear about Mr. Tyers passing. He was one of the first people on UA-cam who really helped my guitar playing. He unknowingly brought a lot of peaceful and beautiful music to people worldwide. I will be playing his arrangements hopefully for many years to come. Best wishes. William Cayemberg

      My goodness... so sad to hear. He taught me a great deal as well. His "hallelujah" was the very first thing I learned. Bill, thank you - you have inspired me, and generations to come. And to his family - thank you for sharing so much of him with us all. His music will live in others for a long, long time.

    I knew about his passing just now. In 2020 where everyone was still in utmost despair and are locked inside their homes, I found his Smoke gets in your eyes video and I even memorized the guitar. A lot of things happened and fast forward to this day in 2022, I suddenly thought about the man who made the most beautiful old songs guitar cover that I ever heard of. I got curious why the last post was 2 years ago, and now I know... Rest in Peace, Sir! I really love your covers.

    Can't believe I have only just discovered this unassuming giant of a guitarist/arranger/teacher. I can't believe how a player of his stature can stay under the radar. I was investigating the CAGED system, and had just learnt the first D scale, and the tune 'Someone to watch over me', just fell out of my fingers, so thought I'd search for an arrangement. Bingo! I have struck gold, there is a lifetime of stuff here. So sorry that we have lost him, but what a fabulous legacy to leave the rest of us - and all for free! What a exemplary gentleman.

    I just learned of his passing. I share the sentiment of those offering their sympathies to the family who knew him as more than just a wonderful musician. At the same time, it makes me sad whenever a guitar goes silent. Bill Tyers' legacy includes all those nameless people who were inspired by his music, who learned from his techniques, and whose day was made just a little better by hearing one of the tunes he posted. Music is a gift to be nurtured and developed and shared and one day given over to younger hands to whom its care will be entrusted. I am grateful for the difference he made.

    I was extremely sad to hear about Bill's passing. I started to focus on learn fingerstyle guitar about 18 months ago and always found his arrangements to be attainable, which is more than can be said for many other transcriptions on the internet. I am sure that there are many more like me who owe him one for his dedication and passion to music. It would be a great tribute if his family could make a facebook page of his videos and transcriptions available for others to enjoy in future.
