You are an amazing teacher. I'm sixty nine and started guitar three years ago. I'm hoping to get this iconic solo down before the bucket gets kicked 😁. Thank you for your very valuable lesson (s)!

You youngsters don't know how lucky you are to have teachers like this for free on You tube.Been playing since the 60s and you would have to take private lessons to be taught licks like this.

I really value that you don't just explain the solo but also show the relation of the licks with the underlying Chords
Helps a lot with composing my own solos 👍

I’m 76, been playing off and on since my 20’s, but only seriously for about 5+ years. My favorite song, been trying to learn it for 6 months. Your lesson is the best. Thank you so much.

You are the best guitar teacher on line. Not only have you taught me this piece, but also several other advanced pieces, including some of the most difficult Eagles songs.

One little thing I'd add to this lesson: at 2:47, instead of barring the 12th fret E and A, play the harmonics instead. You can hear the harmonics ring out in the original. Other than that, thanks for this incredibly accurate lesson. I learned to play Sultans about a month ago, but I'll just have to start over since you've captured so many nuances I missed out on myself when learning the solos.

What a tremendous guitarist you are buddy, your ability to break down and teach complex songs in such an accessible way makes them much less daunting than they’d otherwise be. Bravo maestro!

Hey man, thanks for all the great lessons, you make the best tutorials on youtube. Thanks again.

I'm only 3 minutes in the video, and I can already see that this video is one of the beat guitar tutorials I have ever seen!

[ednaldocunha]

You know all the chords!
One of the best and perfect tutorial of this classic.
Thank you very much for the upload.

Awesome lesson Andy, I tried to learn this 30 years ago using a cassette tape from note to note music. Where you shine is you are teaching guitar, and not just the song. So many great examples on how the chords and scales overlay the lic. Anyone who learns from this lesson will be so much better at understanding this instrument
As always, technically accurate and easy to follow. I guess it is time to throw the pick in on the floor and get it right

I'm so happy that you do this. I'm 14 and love this. You are the best teacher ever for guitar. Keep on rocking.

[danieldube]

That's si fantastic, I'm 64 and playing guitar most of my life without proper lessons or theory but seems I've done pretty good. I just stumbled on your lessons for the first time. Excellent playing and love your method of teaching.

God Bless Ya! Learning this has been an adventure!

It's "like, " a master class??
This IS a master class!

The chunk chunk lick which then leads into the 12:45 blues lick are BY FAR the most influential and downright fucking gorgeous and beautifully aggressive guitar licks i've heard in all my years listening to Marks song. Absolutely wonderful. Thank you for this.

[vivekanandaroy]

Great lesson❤️❤️❤️Wonderful teaching…. Loved it. Thanks a ton…Keep rocking🎼🎼🎼

[stevenspikes]

I'm really impressed with your lessons. Best video out there. The black T-shirt and background with the bound ebony fretboard keeps everything in focus where we can see what you're doing without anything to distract the eye. It takes the mystery out of wondering if I am capable of playing a song or not. Thanks for sharing and boosting our confidence.

Imparting your music talent to rest of the world in a sincere way, makes you a class apart. Your in-depth knowledge about music theories (major & minor pentatonics etc..) is awesome. Even if the whole world is shut down, I pray that your "shut up & play" continue as long as you are alive. With your lesson, I learned all the fills & solos in a professional way. I bow my head before you, like a humble & thankful disciple to his Great Master ! May God Bless you.

I have been playing guitar since this song came out in the late 70's and now I can play it, Thank you for the great lesson.
