I think Andrew is the Chopin of classical guitar: the perfect marriage between technique and deep musical expression. I think that guitarists like Mckee, Dufour, etc. are truly amazing but they are below Andrew because of this: their music "weights" less than the technique; it is too determined by the "physics" of the guitar. Andrew´s music is thought for the guitar (like Chopin´s was for piano) but still would have a lot of entity and depht when performed in another instrument or arrange.
@PacoHRGuitar Agree 100%. McKee is good, but I once made the mistake of commenting on a video of one of his songs to the effect that the string tapping and percussion on the body are a little gimmicky - that in addition to the open tuning he was using. It, not unexpectedly, generated some nasty comments. York is an exceptional guitarist and composer. I don't need to see him playing to be wowed by it.
This guy, is very underrated, especially when everyone talks about andy mckee and antoine dufour, despite they can play their own style flawlessly. This stuff is way more in-depth to me atleast.
I definitely agree with you. Andrew York doesnt get enough recognition as he should. No disregard to andy, antoine, or don ross...they are brilliant guitarists and make amazing music but York is way more in depth and deserves the same amount possibly more recognition than todays acoustic guitar icons
@thatswhatshesaidtome Haha another add on to your point. Even if not all of the biggest guitar players in the world play Yorks pieces, they certainly still teach them to their students. This is important music!
@thatswhatshesaidtome In my opinion, he's not underrated, he comes from another generation (I didn't write "belong"). I may be wrong, but what brought Andy and Antoine to "our" attention was Youtube. I first discovered them thanks to it anyway, and I went deeper: and I found Andrew York.
If I hadn't seen Andy's videos, I would have never discovered Andrew's marvelous pieces.
you're basicly saying that even if this was a video of food being digested and expelled as a way of excrement, it still would be better than eurodancemetal dragon force.
yes sir. i agree
btw this dude cant eally play the guitar.. lots of feeling
Umm, classical. That's a classical guitar. However, all classical guitar is fingerstyle ... unless you play it with a pick Iike I did when I was a kid ... and it pissed off my dad because I was wrecking it.
yeah i got into fingerstyle when i payed in mariachi, and when i went i got my new regular steel string guitar i nearly killed my nails from using em like i would lol, BTW i was the only white guy in mariachi class in my highschool, and im still the only white guy that ever took it LOL and i loved it!
To have something coming out of your mind sounding like this is amazing, and very intresting. how does it feel to be andrew york composing? must be awesome
Actually, I think that the title has something to do with a character from a Christmas Carol. I don't know. According to my guitar instructor, Andy york can be a bit enigmatic when it comes to his titles. My instructor's guitar orchestra commissioned Ask The Sphinx and my instructor was unable to get the meaning of the title out of him. Haha
this is a really hard song to learn
