  • xDparawhore you need to stfu you were just bashing on him 2.......geez....

  • cruuuu!!!

  • Lol he says slide down when sliding "up" to the 5th fret.

  • just depends how you interpret it....I am sliding down the fret broad, but as you slide down the fret board the note gets a higher pitch or goes "up".....thanks for watching

  • oh and just to let you know your guitar was pretty out of tune in this video. Mine was in tune and i played my middle d to urs it sounded wack. lol. doesnt matter though the main thing is that the tutorial was sweet

  • people need to stop dissing this dude if you read the heading it says (my interpretation) not (exactly the same as andy mckee) give the guy a break fuck.

  • thanks, i couldnt figure it out by looking at the tab, but this video made it incredibly easier, thanks again

  • it was sloppy as fuck.

  • the first 23 second sucked balls dude. but good tutorial

  • why the first 23?

  • needs some work mate! It's quite different than Andy's version, but thanks to YOU I can play it like him now! ;)

    Thanx a lot

  • his directions are great and easy to follow if you know the basics

    positive criticism is clear up directions such as the right fret numbers

  • This guy plays accurately but it seems he doesn't love the song pretty much. you know what people play guitar with real acoustic sound is because they love to playing the song and their souls attached on it as well for instance Andy McKee is one of them and he is the best acoustic guitar player ever!!!

  • I think that's unfair. You can't play with your heart and soul when it's all stop start in a tutorial - that's not what this vid is about. You have to love this song to persevere with learning it (trust me I know) and love it even more to spend this amount of time breaking it down to teach others.

  • Comment removed

  • dooood this is so inaccurate,dont mislead other people to play it so wrong

    go to ultimate guitar and see the tabs for this and then maybe you can improve

  • its his interpretation. he plays what it sounds good to him

  • hey thanx for the videos, but can i just give you some advice? try to hit your harmonics waaay softer, be gentle with your guitar man! You play it a bit stiffy, it'll sound better. Just hit the string and try not to make them hit the guitar soyou dont have the "tsht" sound :D

  • oh good! this helped me soo much thankss!!!! :))))

  • they look like a normal guitar but, I love my washburn and so does everyone else that I play with.

  • washburn rarewood flint hills

  • thanks a lot man :) appreciate ,

  • Yet again, terrible technique. What is that, your song, "Trifding"? If you're gonna keep this tutorial, call it "My tutorial on my cover of Drifting," because this song is not Drifting.

    Andy McKee is the only one who plays drifting, the closest anyone can come is playing what I call, "A not-as-inaccurate cover" of Drifting.

  • hey fuck u asshole at least he is trying to give ppl an idea how to play. it helped me. so stfu because u haven't helped out the youtube community on this song. once u do a tutorial of this song that is perfect. then u can talk as of now shut the fuck up and keep ur opinion to ur self u bitch!

  • agreed

  • hey neptunate i have few words for you , if the whole word follow what you are saying , i think we would stopped at the era of Pink floyd and Dire straits ,

  • it's evolution man , and Andy is a legend indeed and it's normal to inspire us , and i think if he will be more than happy to watch this video or a more lower in technique video , i think he will be proud that his music inspired us in the way we try "our best to play it" , so chill up man and get your guitar and start to learn , or simply try more constructive approach in critisizm!

  • dude ur awesome !!

    nd yes ,

    andy mckee is an out of this world guitarist!!

  • just cool that you keep on trying to teach how to drift that song, step by step! and as far as resemblance go, people can sharpen the edges them selves! you set the cornerstones for drifting this song with andy! cool groovin5hoovin! keep it up please :)

  • gracias por esas clases,sabes cual estaria bien que enseñaras tambien la de raylynn.

  • This tutorial help a heck of a load to learn that song :)

  • (zachs just pissed cuz he cant play it)

  • dude,your tutorials are amazing,even if they are not 100% right, we all know you have good intentions making those =DDDD

    congratiolations O/

  • Actually this Tutorial does help, even if it sounds a little off, he's admitting that himself; no?

    With this tutorial it's giving me, personally, some guidance of how to play Drifting where as i'd be clueless otherwise. Just because he named the video "Andy McKee - Drifting, Tutorial" doesn't mean it's going to be absolutely perfect, note to note.

    Kudos to groovin5hoovin for being generous to post a tutorial at all, he could've just gone and not shared any detail of the song at all.

  • but isnt the title of this video " A.N.D.Y M.C K.E.E drifting tutorial." its supposed to sound like the original song. U teach people the wrong thing and u dont even want to be responsible for that. U may as well didnt even put this tutorial up. I respect the fact that u want to help other people learn the song but heck ur doing it all wrong. Wht a joke ull make of yourself when everyone who learned the song from you realizes its completely wrong.

  • it's not completely wrong, it's 85% right. I understand that your think it's wrong and that your obviously disapointed with it. Thanks ok, I hope that anyone with any common sense would know that andy is an out of this world guitarist and his songs are so complex that it's extremely hard to mimic it. Lot's of people like my tutorial, so I'm not wasting my time with you anymore.

  • i dont mean to be harsh but u listen to urself play and u think whether or not it sounds like the original song..if it doesnt then u find the mistake and u learn it fron another source...dont go around teaching how to play drifting the wrong way...ull end up confusing people and recieve coments alot more harsh than this....i recomend u make another set of new tutorials

  • I know that this part is different than the original song, If you look in my info for the song I mention that I play it differently. It took me a really long time to make these tutorials and i'm not making another one. My tutorial is the only one that teaches the whole song, whether or not it's 100% correct. I'll let someone else make the next tutorial for "Drifting". P.S. Drifting has been on you tube for over a year. Why do you think no one else has put up a total tutorial on how to play it???

  • point of intrest, when your recording a video on a cheap camera, playing on a $400 guitar that is not amped up you need to do more than 'graze' the harmonic to get the sound out of it.

  • point of interest u dont whack the harmonics u graze it u make a ringing sound

  • dude ur tabs are completely wrong..uve basicly created a totally different song

  • I didn't use tabs, so I guess they could be wrong.
