I saw this truly gifted man at Butler University in October, with two other guitar legends Eric Johnson and Pepino D'Agustino, and this song sounded so beautiful in their concert hall.
if i hear it on my car when im drivin, take it sure that i will to turn on a smoke stop my car, down my window glass and i will scream! THIS SHIT IS MUSIC MADE BY GOD!
@iKeevE That is because this video is like a leprechaun's gold. You can't find it unless you are really looking for it and made a human sacrifice at the alter of the guitar god. Thus all who come to this video want to hear it and are already in love with the music. Hope that explains things.
too play a song like this is one thing but too write down something like that is more then god like . I saw him live and hear each emotion in each note of one song .
@uniiadrenaline you cant even compare sungha and this guy. Maybe sungha will be as good/better when he's his age, but as long as the age gap exists (which it obviously will) this guy will pwn.
You were right first time, you can`t compare. Sungha may match him as a guitarist in future, but I`ll eat my own arse if he gets anywhere near him as a composer
@antevans1 nah I think he has potential to be better than Andy when he gets to this age. As in, he'll be better than andy was whne he was, say, 30. But by then Andy will be like 50 and he'll have improved loads.
@antevans1 Agreed. Sungha looks like he's being forced to play for the camera. The kid is very priveledged also has a guitar teacher and custom guitars.
(IN MY OPINION) -His notes tell stories about everyday lives. Like sitting on a bus and seeing the old people struggle on with their oversized shoppers loaded with cabbage, then out of the corner of a window a young girl with a skipping rope running back to her mum. It reminds you of little heart warming things and little life distractions, how it all comes and goes.
I really like the sound of the syncopation at 2:07 for some reason. This is my favorite Andy song, the emotion he puts into his phrasing is so incredible!
if you watch Sungha Jung play this you will really want to smash your guitar over your own head and then go jump off a cliff, the kid is 13 yrs old and he plays most of Andy Mckee's songs
that is skillfull for the kid to be able to play andy's song, but andy himself, puts out pure emotion, he creates this things himself, and to be able to siphon the heart into music takes something else, something new you know?
i agree with you completely. I bought the album and I just used to sit on the bus and listen to it in the mornings and sleep and after a little while I started to notice little things that were easy to miss and after reading some of the reasons he wrote songs, you can almost feel the feelings better than lyrics can express them by listening to the feel and sound of the music. hes definitely one of the most creative/emotional guitarists I've ever heard.
the great thing about this guy is that his sound is so consistent from performance of this song to performance. I mean there are some subtle difference to my untrained ear, but man, I like that's it so strong every time!
because i like to keep things varied, instead of doing like narrowminded fucks like you and close out other types of music, instead of keeping an open mind to things. which is propably the dumbest thing you can do, if you like music
because i like many different styles of music? lol, watch the the interwiev on stichtingSteelstring's channel, andy mckee even says himself that he also likes death metal and stuff.. would you call him retarded too? because he likes many different styles of music, like me?
Agreed. My friend does a radio show at midnight where they play old funk tunes. I mean, sure it's not my type of music, but at least it's respectable unlike this "I kissed a girl" or "souja boi" garbage. And don't even get me started on Miley Cyrus, she's lamer than her father (And he sang a song that was paramount for its lameness, Achey Breaky heart or whatever)
ive never played one but hearing him and don ross play those things is amazing. i think the song that exhibits the tonal fantasticness :-) of the lowden most is don ross' rockbarra
