I just love this guy, he’s a great player and teacher but he also shares his love and enthusiasm for the music. He’s constantly complimenting the songs and the musicians that played the songs. Always so positive. Makes me always click on his lessons, even when I’ll never be able play it that way.
@@MrBrindleStyle, only it’s not as simple as that. I have injuries that decrease the dexterity in my left hand, injuries I’ve spent years rehabbing but will never have full dexterity.
@MrBrindleStyle sport, you can practice as much as you want, but if your personality is rigid then you will never play like Andy. You are correct on the practice, hours everyday, never miss a day, and for years, but more important is letting go of yourself (some blokes really need to let go), and letting the passion take over, best examples are Kossoff and Page.
66 dislikes.....these 66 people I never care to meet .....this guy kills it .... consistently...he's the best there is with teaching this stuff ...and he plays it the CORRECT way .... cheers 👍 ..
All of Andy's tutorials are absolutely the best and spot on. He goes to great length to reproduce exactly what's on the recorded versions of all the songs he teaches. :-)
Thank you, thank, thank you! I'm 67 and am trying to break out of my comfort zone, ie, just strumming chords. I have trouble understanding what people are doing on videos and, most of the time, tell myself I'm too old to learn anything else but your instruction was perfect and totally understandable to me.
The bass playing seems to be an ongoing theme in Van Morrison's music. Almost always a killer bass line driving his songs. Of course those tasty double stops, great lyrics and that voice aren't too shabby either.
You r tutorials are always brilliant, but man that lead playing on your demo of this song was off the charts. Soulful, you can tell how much you love this song. Thanks Andy for all you do , fantastic
Thanx so much for this brilliant tutorial/lesson...I picked up the guitar at a very young age, (14), and recently have been re-learning a lot of songs from my youth...Back then, I could read music,( I still can ;) ) but only for clarinet or piano. My friend taught me the basic guitar chords, and I taught her how to "read" the music on our sheet music...After that, I played the guitar mostly by ear, ( i.e. listening to the radio and trying to capture it on a tape recorder !! lol ). I also always watched the guitar player's chord hand, no matter what concert/club/pub/cabaret or "jam" that we partook of. I'm thankful for the "invention" of TH-cam video's that are now available for me to actually see how to do it the right way. Once again, thanx @Shutup & Play - Guitar Tutorials for the great upload ! Slainte, Skol, Proost, Cheers !
I’m subscribed to a few tutorials on here and this guy teaches in such a way that makes if fun and easy. Very good teacher,doesn’t talk down, he talks to. Great job and thank you very much. Keep on jamming brother!!!!
Hey Andy, if i have learned one thing from you, (oh i've learned A LOT!), it's how you approach your strumming, and the importance you put on it! You definitely exude fluency, keep your hand moving! It is a hard habit to get into, but so worth the practice. Thanks mate, it really does make a difference, especially in being able to let the passion juices flow into a song!
John Platania lives in my town. What a great humble man he is. One of his gigs is playing with Professor Louie & the Crowmatix. I've never heard him play a bad note.
Van and I spent time in the same town in Marin Ca. He left long before I moved there . He was on a great street at the end.He was also in a quiet valley in Marin and would go straight to the front of the line at local market, cause he was Van! I hope he wrote songs there?His parents owned a music store in this Marin small town. Marin was magical for songs coming from the Mystic usually in the middle of the night. Darn it I forgot most of them, too lazy to record stuff.
This guy is probably my favorite you tuber guitarist. I love the way he instructs the lessons. You are the man. Many people appreciate you sharing your talent.
Andy, mate you are so right about the Album! Every track is awesome, personally i rate it even above Astral Weeks! Just the best Album for a late Sunday afternoon on the verandah with a cold beer in your hand, watching the sun fade till the Southern Cross is in view! It's not hard to hear how much joy you get from what you do, how much you just love the music, it is totally infectious! From an old bugger trying to live out his dreams, a HUGE thank you cobber!
My dude! I just recently felt the need to set up a donation bc of how much I've learned from your vids, and you drop this classic gem... Thanks for all you do!
Only recently found you channel and making my way through Bron yr Aur. Love the lesson and how you you don't give up on the song, you attention to details. Also love the research you do on letting us know who's responsible for a guitar lick or just the history of the song.🙏💚
I was stuck in a tiny fishing village in the Philippines for 3 months and all we had to listen to was Moondance (or Philippines sugar-pop) . They're all class but Mystic is the best - the strumming + those fills - always wanted to play it - I should have worked it out but now I don't have to . Thanks.
I somehow stumbled onto this one.... what a Blessing! I've learned a TON from your other lessons, but I was not aware of this one. So glad that I found it. It will take me a few hours on/off to get it right. But you have also nailed it again. Thank You!
I watched a few of your videos I’ve been playing since I was eight and I’m 60 now it would be nice if you were around back then you got a nice way of teaching I think it gets to a lot of the beginners An intermediate players it’s nice to see someone like you teaching the youngsters
Cool man thanks so much. What a magical song. All I can think of is people that have left too early. This video gave me just the ammo to play this for myself and others.
As is now the norm, excellent work Andy. It is a pity all I know about you is your first name, and your tutorials which are beyond comparison. You maybe prefer it to remain that way. Hats off to this tutorial once again.
Hey Andy, you know what would be really cool? If you, Marty Schwartz, James James, and Rick Beato would get together and make a video - all on the screen at the same time in your normal settings, playing the same song, taking turns at verses, solos, etc. - collectively that would be a significant audience and the ad money raised could go towards helping our front line health care workers - just a thought.
shout out to strumming not being easy!! love that. Another good example Ventura Highway - America, that you also teach. Been trying to string that one together for a bit. Thanks for all your great work!
i checked out your demo on your website... it is absolutely fantastic! incredible recording and sound!! i record in my home studio, so it's not lost on me how much work went into that recording... just excellent!!!! also, YOU SHOULD SING!!! i could hear you faintly in background while teaching and i heard a really nice voice!!! maybe u do and i haven't heard u but YOU SHOULD!! :) thank u for this!
Van is one of those guys when talking about all the greats he seems to be left behind and then you rediscover Van and he just slams you and you think , ok i won't forget Van again then a little time passes and you tend to forget him again and then rediscover him again and personally i love forgetting about Van and then rediscovering him , Now one song from Van that never leaves me is Here Comes The Night and even when i spend days playing it on my guitar i don't really think about Van but The Stones because for 45 years i thought that was a Stones tune
I love and appreciate your work here But I’m gonna say the thing that really needs to be said bout this song ... Joe Creighton on the bass in this song is cosmically ethereal - that’s all I have to say bout that. However - I’m pouring all the loves into your fantastic work here revealing the guitar licks that made this song a wonder hit. Van Morrison Respect
I liked when he said "it's a concept; an idea". . I interpret this to mean the fills don't have to be played exactly as recorded.....as he says " jam it out".

PRACTISE - it's as simple as That! Do an 8 hour shift same as you would any job...
Jeff Martin, absolutely
@@MrBrindleStyle, only it’s not as simple as that. I have injuries that decrease the dexterity in my left hand, injuries I’ve spent years rehabbing but will never have full dexterity.
Well said,- spot on, and I couldn’t agree more….
He helps things make sense, the WHY things do what they do….
@MrBrindleStyle sport, you can practice as much as you want, but if your personality is rigid then you will never play like Andy. You are correct on the practice, hours everyday, never miss a day, and for years, but more important is letting go of yourself (some blokes really need to let go), and letting the passion take over, best examples are Kossoff and Page.
What a humble Guitar man you are; faceless yet brimming with masterful fraternity
66 dislikes.....these 66 people I never care to meet .....this guy kills it .... consistently...he's the best there is with teaching this stuff ...and he plays it the CORRECT way .... cheers 👍
..
Yeah unbelievable, prob just jealous douche bags!
Accuracy and tone and timing plus . Sincerely thanks for your efforts ❤.
One of the most beautiful songs ever written. Brings back some amazing memories.
This is by far the best tutorial of this classic I’ve run across.
All of Andy's tutorials are absolutely the best and spot on. He goes to great length to reproduce exactly what's on the recorded versions of all the songs he teaches. :-)
Thank you, thank, thank you! I'm 67 and am trying to break out of my comfort zone, ie, just strumming chords. I have trouble understanding what people are doing on videos and, most of the time, tell myself I'm too old to learn anything else but your instruction was perfect and totally understandable to me.
The real "secret weapon" on the Moondance album is the bass player, John Klingberg! Outstanding playing.
Love that bass line on Glad Tidings
The bass playing seems to be an ongoing theme in Van Morrison's music. Almost always a killer bass line driving his songs. Of course those tasty double stops, great lyrics and that voice aren't too shabby either.
I came here to learn the guitar but it was the bass that caught my attention!
so true all the bass lines on the album were amazing)!
The Bass line IS this song
You r tutorials are always brilliant, but man that lead playing on your demo of this song was off the charts. Soulful, you can tell how much you love this song. Thanks Andy for all you do , fantastic
Dude , I love your vibe . Your voice , attitude and approach is so mellow and calming 👍.
My favourite song of all time. Every time I hear that opening bass line, it goes right to my heart.
And Moondance is an absolute all time masterpiece.
One of the best guitar players I've seen on utube

Am working my way through this and find it excellent for upper and lower guitar parts, really intuitive.
Truly one of the greatest songs of our time. Thanks for the lesson and inspiration.
Great lesson. Van Morrison is a legend. When music was real. Thank you.
I’m subscribed to a few tutorials on here and this guy teaches in such a way that makes if fun and easy. Very good teacher,doesn’t talk down, he talks to. Great job and thank you very much. Keep on jamming brother!!!!
hes the only guy I learn from
Sing more on your demos. It helps me keep up with where the song is. You have a great voice!!!!! Best instructional videos anywhere !!!!!!!!!!
Nice

This guy is probably my favorite you tuber guitarist. I love the way he instructs the lessons. You are the man. Many people appreciate you sharing your talent.
Well, this just ruined my weekend plans. Keep up the great work!
One of the very best tutorials -of any song - I have ever seen. Thank you.

The guitar fills is what got me!
My favourite song of all times. Thanks a million for this!!!

Yes sir. check out Rick Beato.
I was stuck in a tiny fishing village in the Philippines for 3 months and all we had to listen to was Moondance (or Philippines sugar-pop) . They're all class but Mystic is the best - the strumming + those fills - always wanted to play it - I should have worked it out but now I don't have to . Thanks.
First time I heard you singing during the lesson Andy. Great job! Another awesome tutorial. Thanks.
I somehow stumbled onto this one.... what a Blessing! I've learned a TON from your other lessons, but I was not aware of this one. So glad that I found it. It will take me a few hours on/off to get it right. But you have also nailed it again. Thank You!

It gives me joy to be the first one to like this excellent tutorial! I've looked for good ones lately and this is the best! :)
You brake this down so smoothly that even I can play it thanks so much I'll be at the camp fire playing 🤟
The bass in the song is just awesome!
I wore out my Moondance album. The attack and texture on the guitars really make this album. Toin it up! A little bit louder. Thank you!
Van is also a Sax guy ya know!
Cool man thanks so much. What a magical song. All I can think of is people that have left too early. This video gave me just the ammo to play this for myself and others.
Thanks for doing this, was looking at how to do and by good fortune, one of the best teachers on TH-cam had done!
Thank you so much. This will help propel my attempt at a cover. Beautiful sounding guitar!
Best cover of this I've heard . I'll be able to wrap it up now thanks to this .
That is such a beautiful song. Thanks for the lesson.
The hard pick seems appropriate on the fills with a relaxed feel.
I love this song and your instructional video. You make the hook look so easy. Ive been working on it for two days now. I'll get it.
Thank you for your help on this song. Such a great song to play and sing!
Great teachers I can watch your videos all day
I’m glad you’re back, is there a chance for you to do a lesson “listen to the music”?
I hear people close but I haven’t heard anyone nail it.
Thanks
Thank you for putting the time into show us the proper way to play this.
As is now the norm, excellent work Andy.
It is a pity all I know about you is your first name, and your tutorials which are beyond comparison.
You maybe prefer it to remain that way.
Hats off to this tutorial once again.
A totally awesome video here. Love the chapter breaks.
The bass playing is one of the most melodic tunes I've heard.
Hey Andy, you know what would be really cool? If you, Marty Schwartz, James James, and Rick Beato would get together and make a video - all on the screen at the same time in your normal settings, playing the same song, taking turns at verses, solos, etc. - collectively that would be a significant audience and the ad money raised could go towards helping our front line health care workers - just a thought.
shout out to strumming not being easy!! love that. Another good example Ventura Highway - America, that you also teach. Been trying to string that one together for a bit. Thanks for all your great work!
Thank you so much for this! I've been playing this song for years and never worked out all the acoustic licks.
Great lesson, working on this one now. Such great song and fills on the guitar. Thing of beauty.
The demo of this song you do on your website is wonderful!
Sounds so good. I'll need many stabs at his. Someone has a tutorial also in e flat, no capo. So I'm grateful for both. Thanks.
you're a master
Beautiful sound, lovely simple, music from the Heart. Thanks
Terrific lesson gorgeous Fills and details !
I’ve been wanting to learn this tune for a long time, thanks for making it easier.
Fantastic feel and emotion in this song. Thank you.
Excellent demo!! Thank you!
Thank you! 1970 was a good year 🇦🇺✊👏👏👏
Great tutorial for a great song. Thanks.
One of my all time favorite songs! Nicely done
Awesome!! I love your demos!! All of them!
Your Demo (and the lesson) was SWEET!
Been waiting a long time for this one. Thank you a lot!
i checked out your demo on your website... it is absolutely fantastic!

Always loved this song but never took the time to figure it out. Now I don't have to. Thanks much!
That guitar sounds beautiful 👍♥️
Love these tutorials. Thanks so much!
You're welcome Daniel.
Great job. Love this song.
Van is one of those guys when talking about all the greats he seems to be left behind and then you rediscover Van and he just slams you and you think , ok i won't forget Van again then a little time passes and you tend to forget him again and then rediscover him again and personally i love forgetting about Van and then rediscovering him , Now one song from Van that never leaves me is Here Comes The Night and even when i spend days playing it on my guitar i don't really think about Van but The Stones because for 45 years i thought that was a Stones tune
oh man that guitar sounds so good ; thanks for the lesson .
I love and appreciate your work here
But I’m gonna say the thing that really needs to be said bout this song ... Joe Creighton on the bass in this song is cosmically ethereal - that’s all I have to say bout that.
However - I’m pouring all the loves into your fantastic work here revealing the guitar licks that made this song a wonder hit.
Van Morrison
Respect
They are the best part of it the fills make it .
I liked when he said "it's a concept; an idea". . I interpret this to mean the fills don't have to be played exactly as recorded.....as he says " jam it out".
Great lesson thanks 😮
Hey man, thanks a lot. Big help.
Great lesson!😊👍
Perfect! Do you know Which guitar is van M. playing on this song and is this the same as on ‘Streets of arklow? ‘
EXCELLENT ! THANK YOU!
Can you do a video on Father and Son by Cat Stevens? Love the vids man.
Love your channel bro. Just got done learning black water and found you again for this tune. Stoke you are my new guitar teacher. :P Subbed~!
Awesome lesson! Thank you!
Thanks Andy, another good one.
Thanks! Guess I will buy this remastered version!
gracias..!!!!! from spain
The bass in this tune is great too.
Yeah, the bass playing is stellar. It really makes the song.
Man, you get a lot of nice comments!
Your instructional videos are awesome. What make and model is that guitar?
Man. Once again I VISITED AND LEARNED IT ALL OVER
THANKS TO YOU
SOUTH ALABAMA
I can't follow what you're doing but it looks awesome
Bodhran player turned guitarist!! Strumming..🤣😜🤪🥱🥱😉😉
Thanks. This was promoter Bill Graham's favorite song.
Great stuff. In desperate need of that bass line.
I honestly enjoyed this video. Classic tune, one of my favorites. Great tutorial, as usual. Plan on joining your site but currently unable....sigh.
