Thanks for such an insightful lesson! Kudos for singing such challenging vocal parts. Well done sir!!!

[bryanfriend]

Wow, thanks for the lesson! Saw L& M play live about 15 years ago. This song was the highlight of the night!

[ambrid]

every time I think of a song that I want to learn how to play on guitar which is like a collection from the soft singer-songwriter or jazzy singer-songwriter collection sets you always have a lesson so I feel a kinship 📿📿

[cockran]

Thanks, great tutorial. Really helped out. Beautiful Abrams your playing.

[LandR]

Nice job. Great guitar. Very workable. Doing a solo shot.... great stuff.

[markwillner]

Hey man,   thanks for that.  It's efficient and sounds great.  I'm not a "play it exactly or don't play it" type of person and I play out, so this one will be on the next set list.  Keep doing what you're doing.  Some of us appreciate the hell out of it

[theidahodian]

I liked it. Thanks. You have a nice classic lead singer voice also.

I'm not a huge L&M fan either but love this song and, also Vaheala. Nice job, thanks for the lesson

I wasn't a huge fan either but "Angry Eyes" is my favorite Loggins & Messina tune!  I enjoy playing the bass to this one:)  I listen to it in the car often; typically the long version (7:41 minutes) with all the instrumental solos. Awesome sax solo too.  Nice Ovation:)  I have the 2004 black Custom Legend.  I should pull it out and learn this acoustic part you're teaching.  The last several years I've really gravitated to bass guitar so the guitars don't get as much attention as the basses these days:))   Thanks for sharing the great tutorials:)

I wish I could buy you a beer!! thanks for posting this and making the tutorial so easy.  This song has been vexing me for a while now ... I got most of it, but your tute gave me all of it.  Kudos

[ronsheppard]

I liked it a lot and I really appreciate the lesson

[zolar]

nice tutorial....haven't seen this song taught yet

[deereater]

I understand that you don't like Loggins, but would love to see you do a tutorial on Loggins version of You Don't Know Me.  Thanks for all the tutorials, you do a great job.

[fennis]

Great tutorial video, thanks a lot! Try blazing that bud thru a multi-chamber bubbler pipe to decrease the harsh, LOL!

[badkatrising]

Great job. The beginning riff is based pretty much on altering the a string 5 th fret and the dropped d on the 3 rd fret. Just do the pull offs and it will sound perfect. Thanks

[kevinnielsen]

The Dm7th in the final stab, why wouldn't that be considered an F ?

[salvatorefiore]

sorry but how do you say I think when you teaching .????
