    I like this style of teaching songs. You show the tabs as your playing the chords. I learn songs so much easier this way. That's all I need.

    I grew up playing American Pie on my 8 track player in my 1967 SS Camaro. Alan you are a sick puppy. I thought I had forgotten that bad ass car.

    Wow. Great song by a great musician. Performed by a great artist with a great voice! Thanks for teaching us this and for this music! It's not only educational but pleasing to the ears as well.

    Started learning guitar a few days ago, but since your video shows the fingering for the chords it is very easy to learn.
    Thank you very much!

    This song still receives pretty heavy airplay on American radio. Last year, a good friend of mine was visiting from the UK and commented that our radio stations play the full 8-minute version of the song. He said he never hears the full version on UK radio.

    I don't comment much on websites but I've got to say I have watched a lot of your videos for some time and find them entertaining and usually learn something despite being a guitarist for 50 years. Great method of teaching. Thanks your efforts and congratulations from another welsh Alan, (but this one living in France). Keep up your great work. Diolch yn fawr iawn/Merci Beaucoup.

    Funnily enough it's been dull and raining all day, which is very rare here in the south, but still 22° so no complaints. Must have been because I sang a cover of Rain last night! The French enjoy The Beatles but they'll be playing hell about what I've done to the weather during the grape harvest :)
