I like this guy, he actually takes for granted that you know what he's talking about and doesn't make every video the the ones who are picking up a guitar for the first time. I've been learning for over 30 yrs and he held my interest

"Chord names don't matter. You can call them Derrick or Paul if you'd like."

an absolutely wonderful explanation I am am starting to love more and more finger-style arrangements I only have about 6 months playing guitar seriously and I am astounded at the way I can play thanks to you and others who dedicate their time to free online lessons I am forever grateful

I really like your teaching style. Ignore some of the idiot negative comments, I can’t believe them! Don’t know where they are coming from as all of your tutorials are brill and the writing of the notes is fine as u explain absolutely everything very clearly. I particularly like it when you show the various options as we can then use what suits us as individuals.

I learned this 40 years ago by ear. No tab no YT. Now I’m starting over at 72. I really enjoyed your tutorial. Keep up the good work.

"This is the acoustic part of the song, aka the entire song". Immediately liked and subscribed

I stumbled upon your video and God did I get lucky or what? The way you explained the variations of the A-Minor chord and the Dmajor chord and everything gave me a new perspective on this particular chord progression. You are a great teacher. Keep up the good work. Thanks. I think I will follow you from now on.

Just picked my guitar up after not having played for 7 years! Didn't know where to start again and this lesson has got me straight back on track! I'm about half way through and had to give it a rest for now as my fingers aren't used to it anymore, but so far, great lesson and a really good approach all round! Thanks matey! I'll definitely check out your other uploads! :-)

hey dude do not ever like ever stop what you are doin right now , you are a n inspiration to all of us

Thank you for breaking it into really manageable one! Thank you for your time in creating this lesson and also thank you for the generosity that it’s free! Wish you the very best in life ahead! Cheers!

What a great tutorial - very relaxed and in the right spirit!

this is the second one of your lessons i have done now, the first was green sleeves about 4 years ago, both you pushed me to learn songs that i have previously thought impossible - thank you

Really great lesson. Thanks for your hard work. Just the right level of progress. Nice different options too.

I have so much respect for people who can play the guitar

I look forward to the watching all of the in depth tutorials put up by commenters who are saying that this is a bad lesson.

I always thought "Nah, I can't play it, it's too hard and I am noob.". Now with yout tutorial, I'm just sitting and playing this all night long, thank you so much! :)

Excellent lesson. You provided useful advice for fingering. Really appreciated that you helped interpret the chords. Thanks!

Thank you for playing the song straight forth with out stopping so much and viewing unnecessary finger position. You are a great teacher!

lovely lesson for a 58 yo noob guitar player,fun clear and detailed ...thx man

Nice, I was looking for the an explanation of the full version of the song and you have given it. Thank you!

The best tutorial so far, explaining the methods in simple terms, also exposing the underlying Chords, making it easier to grasp ! Congrats & thanks a lot !

Assaf has his humour switched on today, I like it.

Good job👏👏👏👏. Easy to understand and follow your instructions. I got it now, i was missing some important details to complete the song. Congratulations.👌

Sir.Martyz n You r best guitar teacher ive ever seen

One of the most inspirational guitar lessons I have ever seen , it helps if you know some basic theory. Thank you for sharing

Hi, I just want to thank you for sharing this wonderful lesson. I am planning on playing this piece for a very important performance, and you are a huge help! Please keep posting and enjoying great music, subscribed!

is it just me or this guy is AWSOME, great lesson funny guy

Thanks a million man. You teach with the tabs side by side and that helps a lot. Keep up the good work.

Thank you! I learned to play nothing else matters from previous lesson. Keep adding tutorials and sharing your talent!

Yup, you got it!!!!!!!! I'm talking about the chords and strumming just prior to the solo. Thank, thank you!!!!!! Almost everything else I've had for years, except the solo and the riff at the end. Now I've got the ending riff and I'm getting that rhythm part before the solo, thanks to you. The solo is not important at this time. I have the first several notes of it and it just doesn't sound too good on an acoustic guitar. Lol.

Sooo good - ima play this in every music store in sydney now thx

Best on the internet, man.

i can't quite play the derrick chord, i'll try paul

One of the most amazing online teacher. these are very well thought courses and it is very easy to follow. Great job

Thank you so much, you're great teacher. Now i can play this evergreen song.

In the first part we can bar the four strings with the index finger in that case we do not have to move index for the 3 chords we play, moving ring and pinky will do.

Been playing guitar for 6 years and this is still one of my faves to play! Gonna learn the solo now, thanks :).

Added to my list. And thanks for the compliment, I'm always happy to help

well now i can finally try n play this song, i thougut it was difficult.. simple yet beautiful..

i know to play this song but i still watched this video.. you are amazing dude!!!

good job, easy to follow and concise

I congratulate you on two things. One, for commenting on something I haven't said (I said we all got the tabs, not that we all liked not left a comment), and two, for revealing your age and maturity level - while digging your own grave - by calling someone the n word on the Internet. Good job.

Great tutorial, Brother of the almighty six string ................

Thank you dude, you've covered all of the best songs and Instrumentals on youtube....you're the best

I just paused this video and liked and subscribe at 3:47 just because he told me to call the chord derek...chord c...you are now derek....meet shaun and paul derek lmao

Wooooo Your lessons are great tears in heaven and now this ahhh woooo

Lovely clear lesson , thank you very much

best lessons on ytube good job man .

thank you to be here and for this very positive lesson. Best regards from Paris france

thanks for making the lesson awesome. the little jokes ('derek') that you insert throughout help me keep goin, cuz it is a realllllyyyy long song keep the awesome lessons coming!!! (best on youtube)

your lessons are great.....u r THE GREAT!

Hey thanks Boy! I began to learn ir and i feel all practic, y only know intro, and a lot else, but i pretty sure that a can play it complete.

Dude, thank you. You actually explain in a perfect pace for me.

I listened to this song so many time in the past that it lost it beauty....more or less . Anyway, Ias a guitar beginner , strumming the sequence at 8:40 or 14:46 (I was only curious to know those parts)for the first time in my life, make me feel so good..... . The sequence is so simple but so effective at the same time. Perhaps it is time to learn the entire song :)

i am a total guitar newbie and i found your tutorial of Hedwig's Theme in my opinion a superb tutorial, since ive learned the song really quick after watching several other tutorials for various songs from other youtubers and not being able to learn any at the same speed i checked out your channel and I was not denied more awesome tutorials this will be the second song im learning from you so thank you and keep up the good work! and if youve got time you could do the Lord Of The Rings theme. :>

Beautiful handwriting

I like how you have the tab on the screen

great lesson, as always, polite request for brothers in arms or anything mark knopfler!

you are fun and very inspiring, thankyouu🙏

pretty good man, artistic license and all too, good job

You have taught me so much!! I thank you!!

Thank you for an amazing lesson and sharing your insight, much appreciated . God Bless! Jeff

Every time you do those bars!!! Im like oooh my gooood!!! o_0 and then you explain its an "e" chord!! And i finally make it!!! you're a great teacher!! in the begining of the video i was sure i would not make it ( i had in mind this song as a hard one) and i can say im finally step by step making it.I also like whan you always say that we should do it our own way and change it thw way we like it...keep doing that way :) nice job :) teaching becomes you :D
