[drewsnooze85]

@BallerPimp3243 lol... I get it :)

[DRSproductions100]

Does anyone know what guitar he is using on this video? Ive herd he has used an Avalon L32 in the past. But im not sure if this is one or not. Help Would be much Appreciated. :-)

[stevedabestperiod]

@DRSproductions100

Lowden. :)

[Guitarsearcherxgen]

He looks more tan in these videos...

[dbspaceoditty]

1:45-2:20 = the reason he plays guitar

[hoffmadi]

a despite for Mister Lukather :-(



[shimanchunutakara]

daughtry got fat and learned to play guitar

[TheKboss31]

he's not nodding to the music, hes saying "yes my beard is that awesome"

[georgelarbalest1er]

16 pepole have never seen a guitair

[dwld91]

Sorry, but IGOR ´s version is way better!!!

[dmikelepage72]

@dwld91 Disagree. This version has much more dynamic to it. The other is good, but this is great.

[hedhok2]

i like him better without beard :P

[hombre1992]

Ayer que vino dream theater a mexico, Andy McKee les abrio!!!!!!!!! Me queria volver chango

[Mrpaulobassman]

cada vez que veo este vídeo me doy cuenta que debí dedicarme a otra cosa.........para que seguir tocando? si hay gente con tanto talento.....no es necesario que todos toquemos así.................gracia por compartir este vídeo con nosotros.....

[jsymmes]

Its kind of like.. if God wrote a song.. with chords so fucking pleasing they could only be played by the hands of Jesus or A M

[Ascendanzy]

Fuck... i got so carried away by this there is drool all over my keyboard... -.-

[TheJetman968]

I saw him open up for dream theater last night in Mesa, he was infuckingcredible. Of all the songs I heard that night, this is the one stuck in my head.

[trewmuzik]

15 people are deaf and dumb!

[gavmac1979]

Why do u want the tabs? U won't be able to play it. XD

[TheChaimWitz]

GIMME TABS!

[myisyourname]

[MrLolapolosa]

His hair migrated to his chin to hear the music better

[stefan90210]

Hands down, this is the best performance of this song from a solo artist. I know there's a Igor Presnyakov version, but this is Far Better! Especially the chorus in Andy's performance - goosebumps, really!!!

[gegisako]

why the F is he so relaxed

[kawana87]

@gegisako He's actually sleeping. It comes so naturally that he plays in his sleep. You should hear him when he's awake!

[Rock8you]

Er spielt wunderschönen 3

[dtejada1988]

how long did it take to learn that?

[LuciusEsox1]

Music is about feeling in my humble opinion,, and I feel this mans ego. He is technically superb but is almost musically devoid,,, sad ....

[LuciusEsox1]

@LuciusEsox1 I take back my earlier comment, not completely, because I still feel there is too much emphasis on technique in this rendition but I did realise my own jealousy had an influence... lovely guitar,, but stop showing off please :-))

[rygor42]

@LuciusEsox1 just found this

[rygor42]

@LuciusEsox1 prove your point, if you wouldnt mind providing some reasoning and backup for your claim.

[fvckr]

@chilphil88 not invented by van halen, he just popularized it was all. it was around way before his time though

[Jarirose]

whats the jhonny cleg version?



[awfguitar]

I know everyone will hate me but I like Igors just a liitle bit more. But they both awesome.

[supermacbook]

AWESOME NICE !!!

[Randomnick123]

Igor or Prez... Id go for Igor

[LuferMarrok]

Is it my shity PC of I see a a black dot left in the "capo" Idk what that thingy on the strings is

[OoryanoO42]

@LuferMarrok It's a mic.  lol.

[SteSch19771]

Super Geil!!!! Bevor ich das gehört habe hielt ich es für unmöglich!!!

[wepo59]

@SteSch19771 Dann hör auch mal bei Igor Presnyakov rein. Der Mann ist genauso genial. Da gefallen mir sogar Cover von Songs, die ich sonst nichtmal mit Ohropax anhören würde^^. Andy, Igor, transblack (im Gesang) und noch ein paar andere hier sind solche absoluten Ausnahmetalente, da fragt man sich, was DSDS und Supertalent überhaupt soll.....

[almoansel]

sehr gut ! :) (german)

[johnpopes]

they are both good, they both play differently, and igor doesn't always play the same notes than the original.

[CoreyL11]

Jesus... I arranged my own version of this song and I thougt mine was good... Way to kill my self esteem bro!

[TSUChEys]

Re-created the original, :D

[mikehallen1]

sei grande



[davidkurka1]

This is better than Igor's version :)

[MrMarc1991]

I try to play it but it´s really hard

[fredzz0rs]

You play amazing!

[LILLY3903]

he is amazing

[HarryBoasting]

igor or andy? its too tough of a descion to make! there both so great :D

[Mativiv]

@HarryBoasting I think that Igor has more dexterity, and more important, experience, because he played the guitar 35 years. But Andy is just brilliant and awesome, he is (like Igor) an inspiration to play guitar and to keep playing until you become better.

[yasuhiro1968]

GREAT！

[TheSourGuitar]

HIS BEARD HAS 6 LONG TINY HAIRS THAT YOU CANT SEE, AND THEY PLUCK HIS STRINGS.

[TheSourGuitar]

Hes got 6 long tiny hairs from his beard that can pluck the stings, His beard has talent of its own...

[iliveibreathe]

His awesome guitar skills do the lovely song justice!

[cloud9savagehenry]

awesome

[elael1542]

Shut up...Igor and Andy both are damn Great!!! And lets face it, Andy will be as good or better that Igor at his age

[yongsheng1]

more epic than epicbeardman

[jluvsmetal]

too much hate.... Just listen to the music fellas :D

[thegaystnameonutube]

For those of you woundering how the note came out at the start when he didnt puck.

He is Andy he doesnt need to pluck he just looks at them and they vibrate.

[chillphil88]

@thegaystnameonutube

thats tapping ;) invented by eddie van halen

btw some kind of pull-off i think

[BboyNsnow4life]

can you fuckin stop with your fuckin chuck norrris jokes OMFG there not even funny at all ther just fuckin retarded and we and he dosen't need fuckin retarded comment like that !!!!! all he needs and all he deserve is fuckin awesome comment not retarded comment like is beard went to his chin to listen to the music or that can make chuck norris cry c'mon guy grow up a bit holy fuck !!!!! make him proud do like him !!!!!!!

[pzoomdg]

14 people thought that the dislike button was the "dis i like" button.

[Hell31]

@pzoomdg dude ive seen this comment too many times already come up with something new pls.....

[viggman1]

@pzoomdg ha-hah-a i forgot to laugh

[Baconboy2015]

@pzoomdg if dislike means "dis i like" what does "vote down" on a comment mean? That's what I did to you.

[Stewie43210]

It's all in the beard

[alind26]

@Stewie43210

what beard?

[BboyNsnow4life]

14 dislikes, wtf? how the fuck is this possible, i just dont get it?

[BboyNsnow4life]

to bad my speaker can't go louder ! :((((

[Lenijoe]

Very good, further to Mr. McKee

[sinobrex]

I can cry listening your songs, really, you have something very strong in you. Please, give us MORE SONGS :)

[rakionlatino11]

i almost cried...

[DarthDrizzt]

this guy = AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWSOME

[Makkarash]

I think it's really fun how the uploader of the video wrote all the tags in the video description field.

[Xelanderthomas]

MASTER

[maggietim23]

Taylor Gang

[nolife4eva]

you give the meaning for me to live. thank you

[ChrisCarter1983]

I seen you play in Laverys a couple of times when I was playing there, your stuff is awesome man....best Toto cover I have ever heard.

[sharkask]

1.24 = makes me shiver

[danielclee1]

Beautiful x

[Skiddlezz]

Who cares who's best? Are you capable of playing even close to what Andy or Igor can? If not, then your "He si bett0r coz XXXXXXXX" comment is not needed, nor wanted. Who cares? You don't listen to music because of what's better, if you like it, you listen to it, am I right?

Keep your opinions about irrelevant shit like who's the better guitarist to yourself (No one else wants to read it...), and just enjoy the friggin' music.

[punkboy06]

@Skiddlezz Alot of respect for that comment, Well Done Sir. I Couldn't have put it any better :)

[floppykid]

@Skiddlezz

Stop whining like a bitch about a comment made on the internet.

[Harmonlisa]

@Skiddlezz

Those that can, play, those that can't are critics of those that can.

[boufydu57870]

wow bravo !!! 

[Simon360Channel]

for me Andy play "Africa" better than Igor

[WickerM4n]

Judging by Igor and Andy, i need to gain some weight and grow facial hair in order to play like this.

[charliemotorcycle]

Fantastic, very inspiring Andy.

[TheAcuarianita]

Que hermoso son las notas de guitarra y esta melodia es linda.

[JanVanGalen]

Oh yeah, and uh.. Michael hedges anyone?

[JanVanGalen]

Andy's version: superb. Igor's version: superb. Just different styles, I'm sticking with Igor's style, but Andy's style of playing is also bomb.

[neonaction]

really really good, but I think Naudo's version is better

[swords35]

igor presnakov is better

[raveniskcrow]

Smoking, just smoking!

[tronjhiem79]

awesome!

[1313RAH]

if u liked this u will love Meditating Melody search it, its the first one that guy has some GREAT GREAT stuff as well as that!

[xNZxComedian]

When i grow up i wanna be that guitar so you can finger me everyday all day. Ima guy

[katipuneronirizal]

nice head movement man!

[wanteds13]

Wow... speechless...

Not much people do what they do as good as you do what you do.

[TheBaberti]

güzel olmuş

[km288]

One word: brilliant!

[ballen900]

great stuff dude

[magelolerjump]

pedobear would own him.

[Josh24Pitre]

i like your version better than igors

[janibonneil]

impressive

[DiogoGraca100]

Very good man, you rock!

[hellyeah2299]

Now if you want to see this song done right go look up the master naudo's rendition.

[Romosapians]

It's like he's mocking us...

[edro3111]

Love to see him and Tommy Emmanuel on stage together...Ahh, that would be sublime!

[knightu2b]

This guy is very good but... Igor Presnyakov is the best ever!!!!

[sommervilleTRS117]

@knightu2b i liek this guy better becuase he writes his own songs,his own works are much better this and igors work, he is still good but nearly origanl or talented as andy

[italianka158]

@knightu2b

no, my dera, he's better.... he's perfect

[DtoWnSux1]

@knightu2b different taste i perfer andy any day over presnyakov.

[Psych02204]

@DtoWnSux1 Agreed.

[spawnstrada]

@knightu2b mmmmmmm

[drbn]

@knightu2b They are both very good with nice ideas, I can't see the reason to compare. IMHO, talent should be acknowledged and cherished, not put on a top 10 list with "bests" and least "bests".

P.S. No offense intended. Peace!!

[griffithd05]

1:26 he nods his head to God saying, "Dude...you are awesome"

[zee3173]

when i dont look at the video, its like 3 or 4 people playing the song

[55sinobi]

Молодец,но Пресняков играет более красочно и смело.

[Maxildepa]

music is not competition, when you grow up you will understand; igor and andy are phenomenal musicians, capable of putting their souls in what they do ... and do not care who is technically better or worse, because they are both geniuses

[corchis]

¡IGOR PRESNYAKOV!

[yoyorsp]

i know you can play it without the capo, why don't you?

[patysiolandczyk]

Listen to Igor Presnyakov Africa TOTO

[joazquinz]

@patysiolandczyk dude, no ofense but this one is better

[patysiolandczyk]

@joazquinz Hmmm.. I don't think so

[rodrigonewton]

Fantastic man ! Congratulations!

[henk0909]

i was trying the part with the drum and the picking but i cant do that!!!!. verry anoying

btw this guy has an amazing talent, i have all his songs on my I pod

[toogrumpy]

You are a very talented musician. Thank You. I really enjoyed watching you play.

[finecutmarmalade]

1:09 nearly makes me cry every time

[Mortreal]

Is he playing eyes closed...

[bcbbcb1]

Andy isn't an alien, Lady GaGa is! I'm tired of seeing people like Lady Gaga make it big only because she pushes the envelope. People like Andy went about it the right way, with Practice and dedication and earned it! And didn't even have to look and act like a jackass to do it! Keep it coming Andy, we wait on your newest songs with baited breath!

[Lynxstrom]

omg, this is amazing ^^

it relaxes me 

[Nasslatrick69]

i love the man

this is my idolllllllllllllllllllllllllll

[Funnyboy2672]

So damn awesome! And so damn Perfect!

[RainnusShin]

playing like that is so much more than practice and memorizing, you have to feel the music and become one with the instrument.

[saamtayloor]

music like this can make chuck norris cry.

[mikematij2]

@saamtayloor please man, chuck norris cries bullets and only does this when children get to close in order to kill them off.

[TouchOfHell]

@saamtayloor I hate Chuck Norris. F*ck Chuck Norris and f*ck the lame jokes about him!!! :D

[masterkudjo]

@saamtayloor Correction, music like this WILL make chuck norris cry lol

[davidheroX5]

@saamtayloor Chuck Norris may be able to walk on water, but Andy McKee can swim through land!!!

[wirasatrya95]

@saamtayloor and there will be cure for cancer

[redko79]

@saamtayloor lol

[doyly909]

... Shay?

[acebird79]

I presonally think Andy's arrangement of Africa is more professional than the other guys' but I am also trying to understand some fans of Igor or Naudo want to compare their idols to Andy. And please face the reality. Andy McKee is an artist who creates his own music, not just some pieces of shit but beautiful songs like Rylyn, Ebon Coast, For My Father and so on. This is why Andy is thought as one of the best fingerstyle guitarist in the world now while some guitarists aren't.

[demak777]

guyz dont say such things both iggor and this guy play very nice... its total different style... i like both covers!

[nivramirallam]

wow......

[KISSarmyist]

Ohhhhh.

[Elixertje]

there shouldn't even be a dislike button for this guy o.o
