"One of the most beautiful songs ever written..." Couldn't AGREE more! Such a hauntingly ethereal tune...

Such a peaceful tutorial. The more relaxed it seems, the easier it is to learn. Thank you teacher.

"Drive" is hauntingly beautiful albeit bittersweet, having lost singer Benjamin Orr so terribly prematurely (and writer Rick Okasek more recently). Listening to your acoustic rendition of it, Andy, has inspired me to learn it in a manner that will do justice to both the song and their memory. Thanks once again, for your great work

I agree. One of the most beautiful songs ever. Soothing, tender and compassionate. Its what music is supposed to be. I hope I can do it justice. Thank you.

Somewhere right now Elliot Easton is smiling and nodding his head in appreciation of the job you did transcribing this tune for guitar. Great job bud

Being an old guy picking up the guitar again, this song takes me way back! Such a beautiful piece and your arrangement really brings the song to life. thank you. I'll admit, I've been struggling trying to play this, being a novice cursed with big fingers, but we all have our mountains. Keep up the great work!

This is outstanding. I just fired up my Omnisphere synth software, chose a Glass Pad patch and played along with this. It sounded glorious. Good job.

I loved your Cars-Drive arrangement. Your one of the most talented guitarist on here.

A lot of these 80's keyboard songs actually sound great on acoustic guitar! Great lesson like always. Would love to hear more acoustic versions of these 80's songs!

Thank you. I'd forgotten what a nice song this is, and your arrangement on two guitars is particularly nice.
