Can't believe we lost Bill in August 2020. I was just thinking about how much time I need to learn all his tabs and how glad I was that he's alive. I shall be forever subbed to this channel in his memory. RIP Bill Tyler's, you are being loved by many and you will be missed.

This is the first I heard of his passing. :( I used to e-mail Bill with questions, "here or there", and he was always gracious in his responses. With certainty, he embraced the passion of the guitar for himself and for others. My condolences to all of you in his family. And THANK YOU for keeping these films up and keeping Bill's stellar playing "alive" for a younger generation who will find these films and arrangements. :). Best to all of you. :). Antoine

Only just discovered Bill. What a beautiful sound and to have a sneaky sing along to. Very sad to also discover he is no longer with us but a great legacy to leave behind here on KZfaq for so many to enjoy.

I always come back to this video, once in a while; so much peace and joy I gain from this gentleman; RIP

A Mancini Classic, made all the more classic by Bill. The world was a better place with him in it. My condolence to his family and friends on his passing.

I wished I could've talked to him. Beautiful, simple and pure arrangement.

Moon river, wider than a mile I'm crossing you in style some day Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker Wherever you're goin', I'm goin' your way Two drifters, off to see the world There's such a lot of world to see We're after the same rainbow's end, waitin' 'round the bend My huckleberry friend, moon river, and me

Masterfully played, with such tenderness of feeling. Brought a tear to my eye.

I have listened to umpteen dozen versions of this song for guitar and this is the one I am learning, good rhythm, interesting harmony, scope to add variety and make music. BRILLIANT.

Bill I truly admire your talent and enjoy listening to them everyday, Requiescat in pace Bill, I pray for you daily.

standing ovation. tears to my eyes. just absolutely brilliant, flawless playing and expression.

Stunning performance of an everlasting classic.

Rest In Peace Bill. Prayers for you.

This is beautiful. I’m tired of seeing guys play guitar with these euphoric looks on their faces, nothing wrong with it, but man some guys over do it. You on the other hand sir, you show passion and skill just playing this. So eloquent in style and in the way you let the melody ring out.

Wow. I can feel your heart when you played. Thank you for this.

Thank You Beautiful song Beautifully done

Such a beautiful arrangement and wonderful relaxed playing! Too bad I discovered this only now.

Oh my goodness... one of the most underrated things I have ever seen on KZfaq! Beautiful, thanks for sharing!

Beautiful.

Thank you Bill for sharing all your music and beautiful arrangements. I have a whole binder full of your tabs that i regularly play (This Masquerade my favorite )You will be missed and appreciated. Condolences to the Tyers family and thank you for keeping his music going.

Your playing really brings an immense sense of tenderness and solace and nostalgia... Thank you so much and thank you for sharing your scores with us. Continue to inspire!

BROUGHT TEARS TO MY EYES

I love this song and this is a beautiful rendition, thank you for sharing it!

RIP Bill. Thank you!!!🙏

Great job. Beautiful. Beautiful.

love your style, and playing so relaxed,great

Very relaxing. Beautiful chord structure. Nice to hear the old standards played on KZfaq, I'm tired of the shredders and distortion that is so much part of the younger set on youtube.

So soothing and lovely. 😊

Your performance is so so fantastic! Mr Bill

Beautifully played, and arranged

Beautiful. I feel like your interpretation is very peaceful.

Sweeeeet performance Bill!!!

Beautiful!

Underbart spelat!

Love the guitar, sounds great and looks good.

Beautiful!!!!!!

Yes it is in standard tuning. Follow the fingering and fretboard positions in the tab file if you are playing from standard notation this will ensure the correct chord voicings.

Fantastic arrangement, I started my own youtube channel and so far have mainly been playing your arrangements. Thanks so much for your charts and performances!

So nice. I don't have words. Просто нет слов...

Remember Clapton's nickname? ......Slowhand......this is a demonstration of effortless mastery.

Nice arrangement, well played!

Thanks for sharing this song, cheers from Peru

Beautiful

Speechless 👏

뒤늦게 알게된 음악가 입니다. 잘 때 힘들때 그리고 좋은 날에도 듣고 있습니다. 명복을 빕니다.

Beautiful Arrangement and performance 👏👏👏👏 ( 25/12/23 Brisbane Aus….

Iｔ‘s beautiful tone like moon river.

아름다워요

Lovely!!!

I hope you don't mind me asking, but I was wondering: What is your music background? Are you a professional studio guitarist or a guitar teacher? Did you study music in college? I'm an amateur and I'm really impressed with your arrangements as you always seem to be spot on even with the sophisticated chords. Best regards, Mike.

....even the trees,shaking approvingly......

rip Bill, although you can't hear this now or read my comment. .I am sending it anyway...Just In case you can and I am wrong. Your version of Moon River is just tops....I am trying to copy, but having some difficulties due to old age. ..But who knows, maybe one day we might meet up and you can show me where I am going wrong 🍎🌤🎸 Henning Herringe (Australia)

Excellent ...

It's so good. It's fantastic. It feels like having a sweet dream. It's sad that it's only expressed in these words. It's the best. (It won't be smooth using a translator. Please understand.) 너무 좋아요 정말 행복한 느낌이에요 좋은 연주를 들려주셔서 감사합니다!

WOW! WHAT A BEAUTIFUL SOUND♡♡!

wonderfool

Inspiración

keep up the good work....

Ave Atque Vale Mr Tyers …

beau

Beautiful arrangement...Though finger style guitar is not (yet) my world I hope that I can play it one day, too. Thank you!!

Muito bom👏👏

Technically flawless, wonderful feeling (especially tming and dynamics) and no fancy unnecessities. Maybe a little less compression would also do, without context?

Hey Bill, great video as always. I've recently discovered your channel and learned some of your arrangements. I have to say, they are all wonderful and I really appreciate all the hard work that you put into them. (Not even mentioning that you provide them free of charge.) Keep it up, mate! Best wishes from Germany, Kozho. PS: I think the moon river tab has a typo in bar 16 with the G# instead of the G on the lower E-string. :)

❤

I admire your work sir. May I ask you what pedal you're using to make that sweet tune on the guitar? Thank you so much for the lovely music!

Beautiful.. I started playing your channel whenever I work on my computer. :)

the video and tab dont match is there an updated version? i noticed the samething with "tears in heaven"

Lovely arrangement!! I'd like to try playing this. Is this in standard tuning?

So sad he's not with us anymore

Beautiful rendiiton. I believe that's a pre Joe Pass Emperor. It's a super guitar. Late 80s/early 90s? What pickups are in it please? I've just got a 1992 EEJP on which I'm hoping to get that sound!!! Thanks

이럴수가....😢😢😢

Hello there Bill - Is that an Epi Joe Pass model? I see Gibson cover over the truss rod in the headstock. Do you have the stock Joe Pass pickups or have you changed them out? I have an Epi Joe Pass (and several more guitars) and replaced the neck pup with a Seymour Duncan Jazz (which was a nice upgrade). You play well, and have nice tone. I've played my whole life, mainly as a hobby, but with passion and commitment, and have played in a few bands for 'peanuts' or free and still do play in a band. I have some similar solo arrangements that I use when I play. I hope in retirement years (soon) to be able to dedicate more time to the guitar. Keep on strummin'

Thank you for your wonderful version of 'Moon river'! I'm trying to play it with the tabs by link. Could you please clear, if the tenth and twelfth bar of the tabs are correct, and just need to be learnt to play confidently, so right melody line will appear anyway? Many thanks!

Henry Mancini wrote the music and Johnny Mercer wrote the lyrics

omg

Oh to play like Bill 😟

Joe pass guitar!

Naa..not tat felling.sorry sir 🙏

Beautiful !
