Once again this has to be said: THE BEST guitar lessons on youtube...

Just when you think Andy's covered all the acoustic greats, the man comes up with another one. This one falls into the not as difficult as I would have thought category. Best teacher on the net. Bar none.

This is the best version of Fragile I have heard. And I am a huge fan of Sting

I have been listening to this song for 20 years, and now to be able to learn it with an amazing lesson by Andy. If you like this song, then get the whole album called, The Living Sea. This song is from that album. It is a soundtrack to an IMAX movie and Sting did all the music. Amazing!

Beautiful and enchanting version. Have not heard this in a long time and this has moved me.

I just have to say that you are very accomplished guitarist and teacher, one of the best in my opinion and what a beautiful song to learn in a time where everything is so Fragile how appropriate Thank you for all you do in helping guitarist reach their pinnacle.

Absolutely brilliant. Not only the best lessons available on the internet but the clearest , cleanest and accurate guitar playing anyone will find anywhere. Thanks Andy.

Your tutorials are always so inspiring to me, I doubt I’ll ever be able to play that well but I won’t ever give up, Thank you….

Dude, Your attention to detail is fabulous! ..All the way down to your reverb on the mix! I have said it before but,you are my kind of musician! You pick the Gems in music! The best guitar tutorials on UKposts! PERIOD!

The clarity of that guitar is amazing.

Was so lucky to get tickets to see him on Thursday in London. He is one in a lifetime talent.

Thank you very much for sharing this song and your talent with us.

A bit shocked this one wasn’t done by you a long time ago, superlative !!!

Beautiful and a superb lesson that has enhanced my playing as always. Thank you. 🙏

I agree you have the best lessons on UKposts. Thanks for what you do.

Thank you for posting all of these great lessons. You are an inspiration to all of us!

I'm grateful for core relevant theory mixed into the song lesson. that's uncommon thanks

Man, I've been with you from the beginning and you're still stunning me..Great stuff !

there are many tutorials about "fragile", but this is cerrainly the best, thanks a lot

Ive always wanted to learn this song, so thanks so much for breaking this down. I actually was the still photographer on this Music Video and he played this song right in front of me with only him, his GF now his wife and me. He was sitting on an apple box, barefoot. An experience i will never forget.

the boss is back

Thanks so much for this. I really appreciate the way you teach and play. Once again, you've nailed it. God bless you 🙏

man, this playing is sublime

Brilliant, as always. (And shame on those giving a thumbs down - ridiculous)

i was just searching for a tutorial, because i 💫love💫 this song, and now i see that you just uploaded it! i hope i can learn it~~~

Top notch as per usual. Love this and I fully intend learning this one. Thanks 👍🏻

That sounds amazing on steel string

Amazing lesson once again , and we both have a 214ce, only your make it sing! 👍Fantastic 👏👏👏

A perfect song..... with an amazing lesson.... thx

Hi Andy. Heard you're not doing too great at the moment. Hope to have you back in the saddle soon. You are a fine teacher and such pleasant company of an evening when the family are away to bed and I can get my guitar out. Wishing you good health sir. Oh and I made a donation too yesterday. Everyone should if they are getting something from these tutorials. C'mon loyal subscribers! If Andy can't work just now he can't earn so I'm sure even the smallest of donations would be welcome

Just stunning friend thanks for posting and teaching us all out here. So cool cheers

Thank you sir...for everything....realy thank you...

Exceptional lesson clearly explained really good

Thank God I found you. I found several versions of it. Nothing taken away from them, as their are doing their teachings, BUT the difference between you and them with all due respect is that you show clearly where to put fingers and you go smoothly slow enough. The other guy who plays it and teaches it starts the beginning with the pinky and index fingers which for me as a beginner was so difficult to make enough room to settle / put my fingers on them. Thank you sir Now I will start to practicing all over again. ps sorry for my english. is not the best

Great lesson! Really enjoy your tutorials. Could you do a lesson on "Thirteen" by Big Star with the different guitar parts?

wow what can i say; we saw Message in A Bottle at the Pantages last night and had to tune in for this one. just beautiful. you are amazing.

Inspired to learn this one now, thanks

Thank you so much for your lessons may be awhile till I can play this though haha

You are such a beautiful guitar player, Andy!!!!!

If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one Drying in the color of the evening sun Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away But something in our minds will always stay Perhaps this final act was meant To clinch a lifetime's argument That nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could For all those born beneath an angry star Least we forget how fragile we are On and on the rain will fall Like tears from a star Like tears from a star On and on the rain will say How fragile we are How fragile we are On and on the rain will fall Like tears from a star Like tears from a star On and on the rain will say How fragile we are How fragile we are If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one Drying in the color of the evening sun Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away But something in our minds will always stay On and on the rain will fall Like tears from a star Like tears from a star On and on the rain will say How fragile we are How fragile we are On and on the rain will fall Like tears from a star Like tears from a star On and on the rain will say How fragile we are How fragile we are On and on the rain will fall Like tears from a star Like tears from a star On and on the rain will say How fragile we are

I am quite impressed with your caliber of playing, and you do these free tutorials. Your time is genuinely appreciated. This might be a bit out of character music wise, but would it be possible to show a tutorial on lead parts for Harper Valley PTA by Jeannie C. Riley? I"m not so worried about the sound, as I know its a dobro or something, as I may be able to get close with the katana amp and lead guitar. But I sincerely would appreciate it.

Great, great, great lesson... From my point of view, Sting developed Bring on the night progression by Andy Summer .... A great and originsl devolopement, of course.

Beautiful

speechless !!! you are awesome my man...

Best tutorial on you tube. Thank you so much!!

Lot's and Lot's of love for your efforts and lessons. May you get a trillions of subscribers..

excellent choice

frigging mesmerizing.What an awesome teacher. many thanks.

Hi, I love this piece by Sting, I'm a fan, I really like your tutorial, it's more interesting to play than some other tutorials in French because I'm French and I struggle with the explanations

How can I say this? I guess stating the obvious. So the Blackout and the sharp definition of the hands and fretboard that are so clearly visible. Remarkably good teacher.

would love to see some more tragically hip!

sweet. Working on the first ten minutes.

Nice... Thank you so much for this tutorial. This is a very beutiful song to play on the guitar. Cheers...

Not familiar with this particular sting tune but looks fun to play!

Could you please do a tutorial of owls best friend by Alan gogol?

Can you please do Do you feel like we do by peter frampton

Hello Sir, thank you very much for your very instructional videos. You are doing a really great job! I'd like to ask if the Taylor you play is a 214 CE DLX? In case I'm wrong which model is it exactly? Again thank you!

Thanks for the lesson! Will get it going :)

Great tutorial thank you very much !

it's the cousin of "Bring On The Night", the 6ths an all...beautiful

Please do an acoustic version of Paranoid Android. No one has done a proper tutorial.

Anyone know where I could get a tab or good lesson for Shopping Bag People by Climax Blues Band?

Just Superb...

Man this lesson is AWESOME! All of yours are great, but this one is just so good... you have the right sound and feel. I've wanted to learn this for years. Thank you!

Fmaj7 instead of F7 at beginning of b sec? maybe irrelevant if not using that string lol

Wonderful video. THnx a lot. Very good explanined.

Maybe it’s been asked before, but did you name your channel in homage to Frank Zappa’s “Shut up and play yer guitar”? Thanks for the wonderful tutorials over the years, friend.
