Mr. Hunter. Thank you very much for commenting on my video. I really meant it when I said that I consider the part you came up with for this song genius. There's a huge difference between those who create and those who merely play what's already been created! You've written some of the most memorable guitar parts in rock and that is a rare gift. I'm honored that you would watch one of my videos. Thanks again, Andy.
You got the nod from The Deacon himself. That impresses the shit out of me, not to mention your exemplary tutorial of my favorite song on earth! Instant subscription...😎
This channel still being underrated after all these years is really criminal...this man is a genius...and personally I'm not always able to play what he teaches but I swear I get new ideas Everytime from his videos that I incorporate in my own playing...and that's what it comes down to ultimately...anyway...I'm still waiting for the day this channel gets the recognition it so richly deserves
Well said, my thoughts exactly. Not always the easiest way to learn a song, as extremely accurate - maybe too much so for as humble strummer like me to learn everything taught. But a lot to take away and incorporate.
Wow! I just heard this driving home this morning and I remembered a friend in college ~’93 asking me to learn this for him. Hadn’t a clue how to even approach it 26 years ago and hadn’t tried since! I come home and open this! Coincidence? I think your video is a sign today is the day! Awesome tune and great lesson! Thank you
I’m not a PG fan. Never was. That said, this is a fantastic progression and Andy is such a great technical guitarist, I’m blown away. Really makes you rethink your knee jerk, “not really my bag” mentality. I’m always impressed, buddy.
Who the hell thumbs down such an amazing free tutorial?? its beyond me! when someone has taken their own time to help you. Anyway thank you for another amazing accurate lesson on this great song.
This is the most Complete lesson and description of the song I have ever seen. It allows you to understand why this is song gives me the "Warm and Fuzzies" every time I hear it and why it has been on my Play list since I first heard it in 1977.
Excellent lesson and tab for an absolute classic song that I can listen to over and over again! One tip for anyone else like me who can't hold down an A chord with one finger without deadening the E string. Just replace all the 0's on the top E string with 5's on the B string, held by little finger - this makes it quite playable for me, but without damaging the ligament in my pointer finger. ;-)
My Travis picking has never been better. The way you explain your different techniques really helps me. Just wanted to tell you, your teachings are very much appreciated. Thanks again Andy.
Got it! Not as hard as I thought it was going to be. I just realized that every song I can play that sounds decent I've learned on this channel. Time to shoot you another donation.
Tom Pelham he always does. Subscribe to him and you will never be disappointed. He has helped my 30 yrs of playing. Especially filling in those little gaps that separate good to great
The best guitar lessons on youtube by a country mile, I wish I had access to this growing up, learning everything by ear was lots of fun, but... Thank you.
Ive seen a massive decline in guitar videos and the views that go along with it over the last 10 years of playing, yet channels like this continue to pump out amazing tutorials, renditions and maestro level classes. Thank you for not stopping!
I realise that i haven't given some news yet. (i'm french) I got the tab. I did work. Fortunatly i'm retired and the isolation because of the corona virus have given me time to work hard. Now i play the way you teach but a little slower. I'm around 80 as you are at 105. If i go faster, it's not clean. I didn't imagine that i could play this beautiful part of guitar picking someday. But i did it !!! with your help and only yours. You're the best. Thank you Mr Shutup&play. I discoverd this song at his birth i was about 25 years old. I can play it as i'm 67. Late is best that never. You make one more reason to make me happy. I thank you . CHRISTIAN.
You seem to dig out songs that I’d never bother looking at, but once you see it played they suddenly become real bangers... never thought anything of this song and now it’s a real toe tapper! Awesome Chanel !
The best tutorials ever. There’ll never be any better than yours. You referred to Steve Hunter as a genius. I would put you in that class. Thanks for what you’re doing. Everything you produce is utter brilliance.
Came across this purely by accident. Walk past my guitar every day but have not picked it up for some 3+ years.....not got the energy.....anyway saw this vid and I’m now staring at it in the corner of the room.....you may have awakened something here. Thank you 👍
You have to pick it up and just start playing it again!!! I'm 69 years young and play every day (for me and my dogs). I challenge myself to play harder stuff, that's why I'm here listening to this song.
Surprised to find such an accurate and well done tutorial right away. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gone to watch similar videos and they open with needless rambling about their site, gear, what they had for dinner, etc...shut up and play!!
shut up n play, thee perfect name for these type of vids, most dudes over explain and aren't trained to teach so they ramble on n on. So thanks for these!
This guy is underrated as a guitar player. When you add the lesson in there it’s genius. Specially this song with Travis picking, Andy also taught Fleetwood Mac “Chain” the Travis picking is my favorite stuff that Andy uses the best in my book. I feel happy hearing these songs and that is why try so hard to play them well-no not as well as Andy-but well enough to play it in clubs. Just got to add the singing.
I would love to know the guy who has been able to teach me so many great songs and continues to do so. You introduced me to Travis Picking with Lindsey Buckinghams “Never Going Back Again” and I haven’t stopped picking since and please keep these fingerpicking songs going. I love the Travis pick!
Oh my God, just gone through your library ... even an old guy like me might still learn :-) Thanks for that, Sir !! Professional Videos where you can feel the passion and love !!!
Well, Shutup & Play Andy, As Steve Deacon said "the best video I've seen on how to play Solsbury Hill" hats off to both of you, Steve Deacon for the genius of writing and playing the part and your good self for making it accessible to the rest of us, many thanks. I've tried this wonderful song several times over the years and not come close. this lesson and four days into "lockdown" and I've got it, you're best advice "don't count" I love the unflustered plain talking description of your exceptional playing. It wasn't easy but the joy of nailing such a tricky little beaut like this one, Happy days
A killer lesson and the best of "I'm not sure I can play this, wow I'm playing it !" followed by all the juggling balls falling on the floor and a smile, knowing that it WILL be nailed after a bit of study and then become a lifelong friend. These youngsters have no idea what solid gold they have access to nowadays to make serious progress on the guitar. Want it easy, quick with 2 chords, go elsewhere - I just found this channel, subbed it and can't wait to see what else there is. I thank you sir, absolutely amazing !
Thanks. I put a huge amount of time and effort into making these videos. I like to keep them free for those that can't afford it, but if you can, please support what I do. Cheers, Andy www.shutupandplay.ca/donate.html
from a former longtime school of rock director..great lesson of a most difficult finger twister..and a very cool song history and explanation of the genius riff..
Andy, I wanted to give you a sincere thank you for helping rehash my love for playing. I sat down and learned Landslide from you, my first start to finish fingerstyle song, and I must say what an amazing feeling it is when you're fingers get a groovin! It's like they have a mind of their own. Learning that song alone opened many doors for me, and I'm excited to continue my journey with you. Cheers friend.
Been a Hunter fan since the Alice Cooper days and really started to appreciate his work when I first heard the intro to Sweet Jane. Your lesson here is incredibly well done and accurate.
Took me a half hour to get my thumb to keep the rhythm and then I remembered the 30-20 blues which I hadn’t played in years... once I played it a couple of times everything clicked. Thanks for the excellent tutorial, one of my fingerpicking songs
I lost count on how many times I have watched the lesson at 6:09 and 9:45 searching for the deviations between what I had accidentially made from it and the lesson. This is really great lesson, thanks a lot! I have been wanting to play this song for a long time and thanks to you I think I can eventually master it!
i thought this song was going to be hard to learn but i got it sorted in half an hour from your instruction . loved it since i was a teenager. many heartfelt thanks
Thanks Lucas. I put a lot of time and effort into making these videos. I like to keep them free for those that can't afford it, but if you can, please support what I do. Cheers, Andy www.shutupandplay.ca/donate.html
matt grutza ... hey, Matt... your LOVE can only ever be equal to your HUMILITY which equals your GRATITUDE which equals your CONFIDENCE that enhances your PROWESS that stabilizes your LOVE GOD BLESS EVERYONE BLESS EVERYTHING ALWAYS AMEN ...
It used to be I could hear a song and play it immediately but I could never figure this one out. I have learned and played without reading a single note but am a firm believer it to be a bucket list to learn how to read music. This song is one of those that opened my eyes. Thank you..
I have been waiting forever for you to do this one. It has been a favourite of mine ever since it first came out. Lots of people have worked out the intro but they all fail on the verse. I wish I could afford to patronize you all the time for this quality of work. Maybe when I win the lottery. ;D
Back in the early ‘90s the local guitar slinger used to close his band’s sets with this tune. Singing and playing at the same time. A nice closer after 3 hours of grunge.
You’re showing me the CORRECT way to play literally every song I’ve ever wanted to learn. Your style of instruction is amazing. Thank you so much for sharing your talent. I’m off to your website to sign up and donate!
Best finger style guitarist I've seen that actually sits down and breaks the song down into digestible pieces for us to grasp. Don't know if you actually read these, but I would love for you to do a cover/lesson for "I got a name" - Jim Croce.
This is really well done. Great work. I usually figure out guitar parts by ear but I couldn't make out exactly what was being played at the end of the verses in this song. This lesson nails every single chord and note precisely, at least to my ears. And it's so effectively communicated. I can't imagine a more effective tutorial. Thanks.
Oh no, this is going to be like when he published Rhiannon! Hours and hours of frustration:-) At least there are tabs this time. I always listened to the guitar work whenever this song came on the radio. It was so interesting and now I can see why. Thanks for taking two weeks to learn and play it.
Thank you so much for this! The reason I picked up guitar after not touching one for 10 years was to be able to play this song for my dad. I've really gotten into it for the past few years and grew to love playing guitar like i never did when i was a kid. Never found a good tab or lesson of this song however so I didn't think I was gonna get to learn it until i could learn it by ear ( Which seemed very hard, and after watching your lesson, I don't think I ever could have figured it out myself) but now I think I might be able to do it! Already learned some travispicking from your dust in the wind lesson, although this seems quite a bit more complex, but at last I have a blueprint to go off of. Bought the tab, and will definitely buy more! ( I didn't know you sold tabs!!). Thank you again, you are by far the best guitar teacher on youtube, probably anywhere, and a play-by-ear genius!
Took you two weeks. What a relief you make it look so simple and I have been working on this for a few days so I need to stick at it. You are fantastic.
I gotta say, this has to be the best tutorial I have ever seen on youtube. It's a complicated song, and overexplaining it in the lesson would make this video way too long. Very well done sir! Will get it with a little more practice, thanks to you!
Wow...amazing song...and you explained it so well. THANKS a lot! Even that I never could play it. It took two weeks for you...I gess it will take two years for me playing that intro. I never learned that fingerpicking...a shame - I know.
A great tutorial, thank you so much. After nearly 40 years of putting it off, I'm finally getting the hang of travis picking, and this is the perfect way to practice. I climbed up Solsbury Hill many times when I lived in the nearby city of Bath. It's also close to the village of Box, where Peter Gabriel's Real World studio is situated. Now well and truly subscribed!
For me too many happy memories of my time in Trowbridge from 1979 - 81. I used to play this (and Genesis - Camel - Pink Floyd) while driving home to the Wirral on Friday nights. Up to Bath then M4 and drive up the Welsh border to Chester then home for last orders.
Ya son varias las canciones que aprendí contigo, y nunca son suficientes. Eres un excelente maestro y guitarrista. Te felicito y agradezco poder aprender de tí. Saludos desde Argentina.
Just bookmarked this. Looking forward to tackling it. Thanks for sharing. My first foray into finger picking was Dust In The Wind. I found Classical Gas far more challenging because the pattern changes. Pretty sure the two of them will serve me well with this one.
The best video I’ve seen on how to play Solsbury Hill. Well done Andy! steve

Wow... a hero here in UA-cam.... wow.... wow....
Sometimes the arrangement of a song is just as genius ( or controversially) even more so than the song itself. This is one of them.
You got the nod from The Deacon himself. That impresses the shit out of me, not to mention your exemplary tutorial of my favorite song on earth! Instant subscription...😎
@@ShutupAndPlayGuitarTutorials You should rightly feel very proud of that. It's a great tutorial of a wonderful piece.

Most probably some seriously stupid fucks who push buttons on the keyboard... That's all they know
Romans
It's ridiculous...cuz this guy works so hard to make it easier for us..... he deserves way better numbers too
People who werent good enough to learn it I suspect... and Trump supporters.
@@ClydeusMaximus The first part of your comment is probably correct. The second part is really stupid. Turn off CNN.

Got it! Not as hard as I thought it was going to be. I just realized that every song I can play that sounds decent I've learned on this channel. Time to shoot you another donation.
The absolute best guitar teacher on youtube - my default go-to if I want to learn a part :) .....and I've been playing almost 40 years.
I could listen to the first one minute and forty seconds of this video, over and over again! Brilliant!
Please whoever is giving this a thumbs down explain yourself! This is absolutely brilliant. Thanks for the lesson and your effort!
One of the best acoustic parts ever! What a great choice to break back in with.
Applause....thorough and correct, this man has it dialed. Hats off!!
Tom Pelham he always does. Subscribe to him and you will never be disappointed. He has helped my 30 yrs of playing. Especially filling in those little gaps that separate good to great
I like Andy's music history snippets as much as his guitar lessons. He's the best.

The best tutorials ever. There’ll never be any better than yours. You referred to Steve Hunter as a genius. I would put you in that class. Thanks for what you’re doing. Everything you produce is utter brilliance.
Shutup & Play - still the best on the net. I struggled with this song for years. Bought the tab. All has been revealed! Cracking job!
Came across this purely by accident. Walk past my guitar every day but have not picked it up for some 3+ years.....not got the energy.....anyway saw this vid and I’m now staring at it in the corner of the room.....you may have awakened something here. Thank you 👍

Thank you so much. This song has always been so powerful. And when I saw Pete live in 1987 I was ecstatic when he played it.
Ive always liked this song but I didn't realize how wonderful the guitar sounds on this until I stumbled upon your lesson.
Definitely one of the best riffs of all time.
Surprised to find such an accurate and well done tutorial right away. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gone to watch similar videos and they open with needless rambling about their site, gear, what they had for dinner, etc...shut up and play!!
It's great when you play the song in its entirety, then start the tutorial. Great channel

I literally just played that song like 3 days ago after a long time
this is by far the best tutorial for this song. AMAZING
Nice playing. Thanks.
Loved this. I had been struggling in some open tuning thing off and on for years. Thank you!

The lyric, "Son, he said, grab your things I've come to take you home." My vote for the single greatest lyric ever recorded.

Welcome back! Thanks for the great tune!
this is by far the best tutorial for this song. AMAZING
You sir are next level musician and teacher! Thanks for sharing your talent
from a former longtime school of rock director..great lesson of a most difficult finger twister..and a very cool song history and explanation of the genius riff..
I was referred to your site and didn’t appreciate the referral until he actually sent me this tutorial of S. Hill. All I can say is Wow……

THIS and Lindsey Buckinghams iconic travis picking songs define my life! My god - could listen to this on repeat all day.
Funny you should mention LB. I've gone from learning 'never going back again' to this. Talk about gluten for punishment lol!
He does that now, kinda
one of the greatest songs and by far the best breakdown of how to play it
Been a Hunter fan since the Alice Cooper days and really started to appreciate his work when I first heard the intro to Sweet Jane.
Your lesson here is incredibly well done and accurate.
Perfect. Been wanting to learn this for years. Picked it up right away. Thank you!
Deeply grateful for this wonderful, clear and inspiring tutorial of one of my all time favorite songs. 🙏 Thank you!
Took me a half hour to get my thumb to keep the rhythm and then I remembered the 30-20 blues which I hadn’t played in years... once I played it a couple of times everything clicked. Thanks for the excellent tutorial, one of my fingerpicking songs
I lost count on how many times I have watched the lesson at 6:09 and 9:45 searching for the deviations between what I had accidentially made from it and the lesson. This is really great lesson, thanks a lot! I have been wanting to play this song for a long time and thanks to you I think I can eventually master it!
Well this has made my day, my week, my month and my year. Thanks for another brilliant lesson.
I had to come back to your video 2-3 times in the last two years before I finally nailed the finger picking. It does take skills. Thanks!
7:41 rather than overexplaining it I better play it slowly for you- so essential for a REALLY good tutorial ! Thanxs a lot for this lesson .
i thought this song was going to be hard to learn but i got it sorted in half an hour from your instruction . loved it since i was a teenager. many heartfelt thanks
I learned it! thanks so much man you are awesome
Thank you! I spent at 4 weeks watching this video! I can now play it slowly...

It get sa lot easier when you realise that it's played with a capo...
I have been waiting forever for you to do this one. It has been a favourite of mine ever since it first came out. Lots of people have worked out the intro but they all fail on the verse. I wish I could afford to patronize you all the time for this quality of work. Maybe when I win the lottery. ;D
Back in the early ‘90s the local guitar slinger used to close his band’s sets with this tune. Singing and playing at the same time. A nice closer after 3 hours of grunge.

FANTASTIC. Thank you so very much. One of the greatest songs ever. Pete at the height of his powers.
Took you two weeks. What a relief you make it look so simple and I have been working on this for a few days so I need to stick at it. You are fantastic.
Great video from this Andy to you!!
Some great playing, great tune, makes the heart always feel light. Thanks for sharing
I love this guy!
Wonderful tutorial. Thank you!
Against your advice, Andy, I went ahead and tap-counted the 1-2-3/1-2-3-4.... until you hit 1-2-3-4/1-2-3 section. And it feels pretty cool!
As usual...you definitely nail it ! Bravo !😊
Your how-tos and performance videos are the best. Thank you.
nicely played
One of my favorite songs Andy! It's always on my playlist, thank you!
I gotta say, this has to be the best tutorial I have ever seen on youtube. It's a complicated song, and overexplaining it in the lesson would make this video way too long. Very well done sir! Will get it with a little more practice, thanks to you!
Oh man, this is it. THE tutorial for this awesome song. Thanks so much!
Wow, that is so beautiful. My next project. Wonderful.
Thank you sir
What an amazingly beautiful piece to play
Absolutely fantastic. I love the way you do your videos.
This one is so good!
Wow...amazing song...and you explained it so well. THANKS a lot!
Even that I never could play it.
It took two weeks for you...I gess it will take two years for me playing that intro.
I never learned that fingerpicking...a shame - I know.
These chords and picking are correct. Excellent tutorial for one of the greatest songs of all time!
Awesome lesson!!! To the point, and easy to understand. (So many online lessons, are tedious!)

For me too many happy memories of my time in Trowbridge from 1979 - 81. I used to play this (and Genesis - Camel - Pink Floyd) while driving home to the Wirral on Friday nights. Up to Bath then M4 and drive up the Welsh border to Chester then home for last orders.
None better! I love your deep knowledge of the history of the artists and recordings. Your intense search for excellence is unparalleled.
Ya son varias las canciones que aprendí contigo, y nunca son suficientes. Eres un excelente maestro y guitarrista. Te felicito y agradezco poder aprender de tí. Saludos desde Argentina.
I've had most of it for a long time, but the part 'son, I said, grab your things I've come to take you...' has always vexed me. Thank you!.
I love this music !
Just bookmarked this. Looking forward to tackling it. Thanks for sharing. My first foray into finger picking was Dust In The Wind. I found Classical Gas far more challenging because the pattern changes. Pretty sure the two of them will serve me well with this one.
Just learned this beauty and once again, i thank you for those great lessons!
