[breakinknucklesruler]

[FuckinMetalBitchs]

i want that guitar

[BeginningDrawer]

respectless fart... this is a pure emotion put into a song, and thats totally not gay...

[knifeboxing]

I played this song at my father and stepmother's wedding. I don't think I could have picked a better piece.

[JasonCarletello]

I have one of his cd's and havent once looked at any of his other stuff, now that i listen to it, feel like a tard that i just passed these other songs up. He continuesly inspires me to play the guitar more and more.

thanks for the tunes Andy, your a big inspiration to me.

[jajms]

this guy is a really talented man, he plays with great feeling

[bindelbum]

[Robertbeast2916]

[baloy33]

[Lucifall]

Google it...?

[Eduron22]

goose bumps... just... goose bumps...

[tyandam]

man playing this song makes me want a short-scale guitar...hand cramps FTL!

[tsubasaISfun]

tyandam - keep practicing? Hand cramps will sort of f-off after a bit of practice...the only song I can play now that give me cramps is Klimbim now...until, that is, I learn a new song.

[pianosketcher]

[Kaita05]

[Koohan1337]

Respekt Man .

[Hulk881121]

michael jordan of acoustic=) like that, and you're absolutly right, love him!!

[kingcarlo9]

OMG

he's the michael jordan of acoustic. how does he come up with these sounds? i mean, composing and knowing what sounds good and everything. pure genius

[MartaineJr]

time and practice.

you don't compose anything overnight(unless you're heavily drunk or extremely inspired for some reason)

[ronniebillhicks]

[MyheroWan]

You seems to feel the music. I envy you!

[cravler24]

I can see that enjoying your playing...

Your Songs Are AWESOME

[grungealx]

that was perfect

[mattriot92]

amazing to put too fine a point on it

[TwilighttFan009]

in love with you!!!!!!! lol jk but your music and you are amazing!

[changingone77]

He's so brilliant, and still so young. Damn.

[EdEckersley]

Thats just pure genius

[Alfons665]

as a guitarplayer and a melodywriter (chek out my vids), i can say, that this is unbelieveble.. its damn hard to stretch your fingers like that and get a cleartone..

[crafterbustamante]

ehh...just practice more, you probably will see this videos differently once you play guitar for a few more years

[serwin09]

see how that fingers move...its like it has a mind of its own..that's how when we make things as a habit....

[hawkman10]

wow, that song made me cry..

holy shit you move me Andy!!

GGREEATT song... as always

[Alfons665]

he plays andrew white guitars..

[billcoe1]

I have been practicing this for like 3 hours and I've got the first 25 seconds down....lol. You guys have some of the most beautiful comments for him and this song....appropriate for what you're listening to....it is pure magic.

[JuBlondBitch]

dude...you are awesome!

[DraGZzOu]

What is this guitar?

[Alfons665]

definitly my favourite..

[xtcongo]

This is my favourite song from Andy too.

Trouble is I have the album too but this is the best version of it. He plays it beautifully here. The version on the album is alright but in a way it sounds as if he's still practising. He gets it bang on in this vid.

what a fucking hero! magnificent!

[GaryLeeProduction]

finally a million views

this is my favorite song from andy.

this is gonna get big

[kloaStoawonga]

I'n not very glad to say this but i don't think this song will get realy big cause their are to less people out their that understand high-quality music like that

[bloodyNOSEjenkins]

that's the sad truth... but hey, the few that do appreciate andy's music truly treasure and respect the talent and effort that takes to make a song like this...

[Alfons665]

you're right, you have to be a musician to understand the beauty of his writing..

[Drumcomedy]

I don't play guitar in the least bit, and I love his songs. There a soothing peaceful sound. Something to relax the heart, and free your mind of all the day-to-day irritation.

[SuperFry247]

he is literally giving shape to every good sound ive ever thought of in my head... i can only wish i had his gift and be glad he shared it

[welten27]

sounds like tommy emmanuel inspiration. but you deffinetly have your own style and i love the sounds you get out of that one guitar, love you man!!

[Eddogg11111]

Tuning is DADF#AE

[HillsongFan]

dreeeaming..this is beautyful...

[speaker3600]

why do you hold your guitar at an angle like that?

[baloy33]

can anyone tell me what is the tuning of this song???? plss.,

[buckleyboy666]

From thickest string D A D F# A E

enjoy :)

[cdmu06]

he makes it look sooooooooooo easy. What a tank.

[ActiasLinnaeus]

This is the music I want to hear as I am dying. The peacefulness alone would make me unafraid of leaving this world. Absolutely incredible music! I practice guitar everyday and I know this level of expertise is unachievable for me. You are truly gifted upon.

[zzBillyz]

Never look at something as unachievable =]

and ya it does give you that weird peaceful unafraid feeling, not like when i listen to death Metal and feel like i can beat anyone up XD, just something different =]

[jokhe]

masterpiece

[TomDGW]

gosh

i was making a joke, lip singing is when someone mimes singing on stage

andy clearly doesnt sing so he wouldnt need to lip sing,, it was kinda meant to be for shits and giggles, not for everyone to get so uptight about

[highwaysalmon]

I think you mean lip 'syncing'.

[PS3FANBOY305]

what genre is this

[ingej32]

accoustic. must be.

[highwaysalmon]

Usually called 'Fingerstyle Guitar'

[KingdomFan112]

IT'S FUCKING DEATH METAL!! Nah, it's fingerstyle :D

[TomDGW]

is he lip singing?

[LadyJojo91]

No. He doesn't need to sing.He is able to express all the emotions with his guitar and body

[swishabiz]

You right on that. Someone who can express there emotion without singing is very talented. Alot of guitar player these days cant even do this. :)

[personwhosnowboards]

man this guitar playing is just great

[slapbassgood]

pretty sure i got more scrot than any of you, especially this Miyagi man.

[ryanbuckner2405]

andy mckee is an alien!

[Teejmo123]

if i cold play like andy mckee.. i would never stop playing... like i would go into a job interview still playing the guitar lol

[Bigkevin300]

haha same here that wud so sweet

[WhoNeedsSnipersJK]

dont forget don ross

[stratfx300]

I'm pretty sure the guy interviewing you would just give you his job if you did.

[damonsta691]

Two questions:

1) Why do some people like MiyagiDoKarate try to put down such an amazing artist? He never did anything but play great music for us to enjoy.

2) How long did it take Andy to learn how to play this incredibly?!?!

[haylesdudedudey]

It's not just playing it incredibly, what i find more incredible is how he comes up with these songs! They're amazing!

[SamyueruHikage]

1) He's a common YouTube troll and everyone should just ignore him.

2) He's probably been playing most of his life. And he just has a raw talent that's very very rare.

[smhsdrumline]

another sick song bro. i wish i had that talent

[lilmark816]

God your mom should have swallowed you, you cum guslin swamp donkey

[kaputmonkey]

oh man did I LOL at that statement...heh...

[semisonic86]

kind of like your ballsack eh?

[MiyagiDoKarate]

Yes, exactly like my ballsack.

[Fable742617]

I think that "FAKE!!!!" means "It's so good that it can't be real" :)

Btw tuning should be D3A3D4F#4A4E5

[CEFrank]

DADF#AE

[ancientcapillaries21]

i really like 1:27 to about 1:38

[gitanobds80]

andy your just brilliant...dont u dare stop playing. thnx for your talent

[nsrocker99]

anyone know the tuning of this song?

[ssenmail]

He looks like he's lost a lot of weight. Much nicer as a song than the first few vids that 'broke' him on youtube too.

[hellsing4life]

MiyagiDoMenUpTheHole Go kill Your Self You Worthless Piece Of Cunt Drippings!

[TheMiz00]

If you think Andy McKee is fake then you must be just another jealous nobody wishing you had the talents of others, bashing another's video.

Andy plays the hell out of the guitar. His music is awesome.

[shadlad91]

sigh....Miyagidokarate ,your another worthless reason why this world is so fucked up.You try to think even for second before you open your mouth and waste the rest of us time.Then again why am i even watsing my time responding to your shit.

Amazing talent Andy to say the very least amazing.

[uncoveredyouth]

this whole "fake" thing is a joke i assume..?

[SpectrumEternity]

Dude you are quite simply amazing.

You've reached into the heart of this metal head and showed me how beautiful music can be.

you have turned what is essentially vibrations in the air into something elegant and remarkable. Music is truly a gift from God, specially when played as well as you do.

[9thInfJax]

I've run out of superlatives to describe this guys playing. Wife + Cocktail + Sun + Beach + Andy's CD = Bliss.

[dougstheman12]

hell fuckin yeah the best acoustic guitarist, amazing!

[donnie6680]

I like this.

[she240vaun]

You have a way of reaching the soul and into the heart, amazing.

[saturdayson]

would love to know what Andy thinks of Nick Drakes guitar playing ?????

[saturdayson]

brill fab and soul reaching

[junknaoo101]

Dude makes his guitar sound like a piano. Amazing!!!!!!!!

[jerv6789]

omg.... simply amazing!!

[DragonsSpirit]

[BardoSturmfels]

Jup is gut

[breakfastfool]

[hysteresis1010]

Impressive

[pauliealex]

[15Moe51]

the tuning is D-A-D-F#-A-E

[FIayrwoman]

before you say that, try to do it better! -.-

[CornfieldSurfer]

my last comment was a reply to blackchidori2332's comment. soooo yeah, shove it.

[shwishshwash]

This guy's just off the charts. Simply amazing. The real magic is in that picking hand - wowza sauce! Best acoustic player by far. Best electric goes to Gilbert, but I wouldn't mind seeing what Andy could do on one!

[kavudiego]

hes very good but just like gilbert hes on the top league but universally the best.

[Jvikdotnet]

I love all of your songs. You're awesome, man! And keep your hair like that. You look like a bear when you've got shaved head. :p

[TooHotforCold]

you're the man

[TheNuggetHead]

That is some brilliant guitar right there.

[assasine75]

dude, great song and beautiful guitar, i swear u can see yourself in it! lol!

[spiceyandmedoguitar]

i fell asleep three times watching this.

gorgeous guitar.

amazing player.

best sound ive heard come from any acoustic since i started playing eleven years ago

[Pueluepp]

I love it no matter what u guys say its awesome!!

[IamWatchingGod]

banana cake ftw! XD

[bigpapa63336]

I love this guy he is sick at solo performances hes got a lot of heart in his music. ive been playing for about ten and a half years and to hear his music and to be that soulful is amazing!

[Gagrith]

He has a kick ass studio

[skywind1987]

Thats some awesome guitar. In size too :)

[bigmasterman]

andrew white guitars. i had the opprotunity to play one once, and if i had the money, it would be my dream custom guitar.

[breakfastfool]

deep

[aqthaii]

dying breed

[Bartus01]

Man You'r GREAT! You'r Song is so Beautiful.. IT MAKES ME CRY SOMETIMES.

[24avenged24]

beautiful

[schl0tte]

I just had an eargasm :)

Bravo! Bravissimo!

[littlepecker765]

ur a fuckin douche

[gersh1995]

who gives a rat's ass and don't curse just to call him douche

[thethreetubas]

i see..... what your saying is that you are a mindless idiot!

[VincentSinclair]

i was joking retard

[aStrangerAmongUs]

The emotion on his face, beautiful.

[tyandam]

anyone know how he gets his guitar to stay in that position? I do not see a strap.

[SpiritRaG]

there's probably a chair or something to hold up the guitar there (or maybe it's his lap), and he just holds the neck up with his hand.

[HollyTheFireNinja]

His right elbow is on the face of the guitar instead of at the side of the guitar. Either that or the guitar knows its player is a God and decides to stay that way. ;D

[gersh1995]

i love this guys comosing rock on dude

[XxJINSON5xX]

*head implodes due to awesomeness* Dude, you're TOO good. Playing lie that should be illegal.

[noraaron4321]

musical genious, seriously, he's awesome

[onemeatball]

he's been locked away in a turkish prison and his only alternatives was laundry or guitar. I'm glad he chose guitar :)

[Bobossmann]

I think I speak for most people watching your YouTube videos - thanks for sharing a little of yourself with us Andy.

[matthewcastillo45]

You're amazing, have you signed with a record label, cause if not then the world is missing out on something fantastic.

[Lucifall]

This video was posted by his record label, bro...

[matthewcastillo45]

Thanks for the info, my bad.

[Georgiaguy93]

The tuning for this song is DADF#AE.I'm 100% sure

[Acoustic1313]

I got to see him in madison Wisconsin, he is so down to earth.....and his playing was amazing. He is a huge inspiration to me and I'm glad I got to meet him. Andy, keep up the fantastic work!

[rcman22]

what's the tuning for this song?

[DeadKidKing]

DADGAD i think

Dsus4

[jkshoujk]

Check the official Andy McKee forums for the official tunings! Drifting is his only song in DADGAD.

[Noursounet]

How can he compose so wonderfull melodies???... Andy you're a god!!!

[MartaineJr]

a) he's an inspired man

b) he's a musical genius

c) he probably studied and practiced quite a bit

d) he's a god

[akguitar94]

i choose

e) all of the above

[MartaineJr]

not a matter of choice.

all i've writte is fact... :)

[Ozzymetalhead104]

[vincyxxD]
