Outstanding job with this tutorial. I have loved this song for 50 years and just got back into playing about a year ago. Thanks so much! 😊

Woke up this morning and thought, I'd like to learn a Doobie Brothers song. This is one of my all-time favorites, and with a quick YouTube search this video came up. Flash forward a few hours and "Viola!" I can play it, all thanks to your awesome instruction! Thank you very much for a fantastic lesson!

Absolutely beautiful job. Nothing like hearing a song taught with so much affection for that song.

[martyrdanielson]

Thank you for this wonderful lesson. Pat Simmons is also one of my favorite players.

Thank You Sir for sharing your thoughts and knowledge with this song. This is a great song and you do an Excellent Job depicting the acoustic arrangement. Im still learning at 62. Again, Thank You ;)) ~!~

First off it's insane that the Doobies are not in the Hall of Fame and once again you have taught me another great song Thanks so much for your selfless well thought out lessons you are a great player and teacher have a great 2019.

I was a working musician at the time the Captain and Me came out playing 6 nights a week for over a year in a bar. I always enjoyed just listening to this song and never really thought about learning the acoustic part rather concentrating on the lead lines. But 40 years later, I will follow your direction and learn this song thanks to your video. One tends to take for granted the beauty of a composition while overlooking what technical skills were needed to create it.

Thank you for this insightful tutorial. I have played this tune in standard for years and few ever complained but secretly I made it my mission to learn this in the correct tuning. Maintaining the rhythm and singing it is a little trickier but it sounds so much better.

[mayito]

Learned this song years ago from You. At my age I Forgot it over the years. Its great to be back to brush back up on what I forgot. Thanks.

5 years old and still the best lesson of this song on YouTube. your lessons are epic!

[ShelleeGraham]

As a non musician, I found myself watching this as a fan of the song. Your lessons were interesting to observe, but I loved when you said this sounds so beautiful to my ears. INDEED, this music sounds GORGEOUS to my ears. I am drawn the song, the music, the vocals. Thank you for your work on this.

We laymen are fortunate to have good musicians such as yourself to cover the middle ground, so to speak. A wonderful song by the Doobies, thanks for your effort’s Td!

I simply had to echo the words of the people who wrote you before I saw this. This is guitar instruction perfection. Please know how very very much we all appreciate you sharing your talent with us. How can you not love this song? It's been on road trips everywhere.
You are an absolutely excellent guitarist AND instructor. Aaaaand... you're teaching us the greatest songs on the planet.
Again, thank you so much.

[klaustietz]

Like you its always been one of my favorites. I thought I knew how to play it untill I saw you do it. Thank you for making my day

[doughannah]

Best lesson on this song I have listened to. Well done!

[eddieangels]

Wonderful! Thank you for the tutorial. Much appreciated because I am not yet very comfortable with alternate tunings. When analyzing a song I know that when I come up with impossible finger patterns, I have to look for alternate tunings. I’m in the Netherlands so I was very fortunate to see The Doobie Brothers live twice in 2010 and uh… another year. Very happy I clicked on your tutorial!

Pat Simmons also one of my favorite guitar players, and The Doobie Brothers hands the best, better than the Eagles who I also like alot. Had the honor of meeting Pat of all places at the Costco in Maui. I looked at him, I took a double take and then bravely asked him if he was part of a very famous rock band, his reply was " have you ever heard of the Rolling Stones". We proceeded to chat it up, talking mostly with my struggles learning Clear as Driven snow, he launched into explaining the tuning....Made my day

I'm an intermediate player - just learned to Travis pick a few years ago and its opened up so many doors. This is one of the most informative and concise lessons that I've found on the internet. One of my favorite songs too. I'm looking forward to learning this one! If you have a lesson for Toulouse Street I'd be even happier.

Wonderful. Thanks for the perfect tutorial. Also appreciate your love for the music--I do feel for those without it
