Africa - Andy McKee (Toto)

[Gregtendon]

Besides a few minor mistakes, the tone quality of that guitar (especially the chorus. Total 'Banger there!) and this cover itself are both out of this world! I wish I could do that on my guitar. Proper good job mate. I had to head bop during the choruses, because they were just simply amazing.

[R3medith]

great cover dude, one thing though, it seems you struggle to play with your strap so low , i thing you can play it x2 better if you are sitted. keep up, you're great

[asparch]

This is f-ing sick.

[timjamz]

Awesome, bro! No need to be nervous. You've got it! :)

[mccartn3y]

better than mckee's version!

[tommyfender1968]

@mccartn3y I give the guy mad props... but to say that it is better than McKee's version is just insane

[ziloko4888]

are you andy's mckee son ?

[MusoJTM]

If anyone finds a good quality tab, let me know :)

[rock23845]

I thought only Andy McKee had the motor skills to make the introduction of this music, you surprised me more, congratulations keep it up!

[contactlost]

Good job dude!

[andiemt]

cute monkey on the bed hot stuff :)

[newsichome]

Good cover! I love the sound of your guitar.

[tgarci2]

I wouldn't ever criticize someone who posts their talent on youtube and I have no negative things to say about this awesome video, it does sound a little rushed at times though...still a fantastic job, gave me chills

[Mirandavh]

dude you're good.

[madf00l]

Dude, that was sick!

[radenko35]

Man this sounds magical and unique!

[Nanooo48]

Nice attempt. A for effort but it was almost as if you couldn't quite keep up with yourself. Don't try so hard and just feel the rythym you are trying to create. Practice makes perfect. Talent no doubt!

[thebestlivehere]

I think you should play in public I would pay an entrance to watch you. You are amazing!!!!

[waffelbord]

woooow! amazing sound!

[Erekai]

Excellent job!

[Goremer]

WOW, very good!!!

[alclobo]

Very good man!!! Almost perfect! You just need to improve a bit, mainly at the chorus! You need to beat the guitar!!!

[lucaspolonee]

Incrivel!

[geronez]

Are going somewhere, looks you're in a hurry.. haha! joke!

you did a good job...

[Engoloc]

what a great job! why do you play in your sleeping room? would pay entrance to see you live on stage ;-) many greets from germany

[gegevai]

Very best player

Beautiful .....

[MrJimdeb]

great job. tough playing!

[daviths93]

[macerson12345]

for real...eat something! your fingers look so creepy... xD. but real nice performance!

[LeeL29]

dude you got skeleton hands, but nice performance.

[vitrizio]

good job :D

[TheCommetMan]

very good!...and you've got fingers for electric guitar playing...but you're breaking them on your Taylor...you need a softer guitar for that kind of playing...you would sound much better on softer and warmer strings.

[Kamownevery1]

great. wow :))

[nastyweather1]

Outstanding.

[pureindo1983]

great job! u can call urself a master in the guitar world ;)

[legunncat]

Well done! Now all you need to do is get rid of that Taylor and get a real guitar :)

[robacher]

Great job!

[LisaLiluk]

i always thought that nobody will ever be able to play this song like McKee.. but you nearly got it :)

[serenadeprince]

[tylerowicz]

[truncale74]

Dude, that was a great attempt at what is conceivably the best acoustic percussive cover ever done. Kudos man! ♪♫

[racketman90]

the sound quality is just amazing, the verses just sound spectacular. great cover

[p20]

[EmiilyTheFake]

[emehtonich]

Ever hear of hammer ons?

[505088K]

everyone who is able to cover an andy mckee song is awesome!

And you allready did severall ones! =O

respect!

[JameusForest]

dude way to much bass need to hear the high notes

[Haidaowang]

Oh my god...you're such a GENIUS !!! O_O could you please send me your tab for this song ? That would be so aaawesome...

[aurelchaff]

GOOD GAME !!!!

[JohanSmb]

Well done!!

[MelleB90]

What's that voodoo message transmitter on your headstock?

[smith77777777]

i think it's a toy monkey

[Skyylifee]

wow. u are soo good ! have you got tabs ?

[BenoAUS]

Are you the Shermanator from American Pie? J/k bro awesome cover

[shaaauuu]

hahahaha, awesome!

[gake]

Good separation of melody and bassline, crisp tone, nice phrasing. The only things I could suggest improvement on are some notes get cut short and the chorus needs to have the higher voices come out more, it sounds like a rhythm part instead of a full band playing. I'm working on this song too and these are things that I've been trying to fix.

[Georgiaguy93]

The tuning for this song is DGDGAD from 6th to 1st

[MelkorDark666]

What's the tunning for this song?,,,

[Pyrocraker]

Can you please send me tabs??? you played it verry verry good!!!

[DonMorto]

Nice job dude...

I'm learning right now from him, but I just won't geht it right...

Your picking is very good, but when you start strummin the refrain, i think u could try to get a little more rhythm in it... it sounds kinda weird..

nevertheless the verse n the solo is very very good!

[ditch666]

awesome effort mate, keep up the good work!

[chantcho2]

what pickup, effectors and amp do you use? sounds are really awesome whether fingering and strum

[gijoeler]

awesome

[FunkyMrB]

well done, wish i could play that version !!

[007andys]

Totally agree with all the good comments and especially the comment by Aetherius88 (re: screw that guy)...

[JaimeHammett]

what guitars model is?

[Aetherius88]

dude that's really good. Andy Mckee is a hard artist to cover, so I'm impressed. hey man could you put up a tutorial? It would be so cool if I could learn how to play this song. If you decide to then I appreciate it. GREAT JOB! And screw the guy that says you need more practice. There is always room for improvement, but I for one would be very happy to be as good as you. =)

[Lugiahh]

not bad but you could practice a little moore.

[19chrischris19]

im trying to learn this but im having trouble.. do you have any tabs for this or can you help me out. very good job by the way

[no1SwedishViking]

Quite nice

[Brendanthepimpshit]

Very solid cover! Love the guitar too, it looks a lot like my 314ce

[pacofdl]

This is the best Africa cover by A.McK. I have never seen! Congratulation!! And great sound :-D (Taylor isn't it??)

Pacofdl

[cingram72]

Great job man, you nailed it.

[KurtSandford]

I like the sound of your guitar

Great playing too

peace
