Don Ross & Andy McKee - Spirit of the West

[dixxxy69]

this song is off its fucking head.

[JohnIverAndSun]

thats sooooo awesome!!! i love this song...

[jonyboulder2]

Personally, this is my favorite song from the andy and don duo.

[bubba61111]

This guy andy is amazing! Love his work

[MJPodcasts]

I love the chord change at 1:04

[lakingfitness]

some thing's are just meant to happen, this is a perfect example of that, what an amazing song. The lead work from mr.ross sounds fantastic.

[Mareat27]

OMG why do i have to work on the 98th floor!!! i think ill take the stairs

[Pjhodos]

44 people should let both Andy Mckee and Don Ross sit on their face.

[thesupercrazytalents]

@Pjhodos 45 right?

[norhamdan1985]

wow..the chorus with the two diff chord/melody exchanges resonates with beautiful dissonance.

[ZeroALLEY]

spirit from the east likes this song and decided to be friends.

[KeithTurk]

I don't play the guitar.... but damn it man... if I did.... in my dreams it would sound just like this.... incredible stuff

[infinitcode2]

best duo ever

[NuBFnDr]

I look crazy with my head phones on behind my desk at work just bobbing my head around, stomping my foot to the beat, but i cant help it this song makes me wanna move!

[EricFishJC]

I about died at 3:00... gotta love those jazz chords.

[simpeable]

one of the best duo thing I have ever heard, great, perfect i jebeno dobro!

[madlinemen]

more like the luckiest chairs in the world

[chefantor87]

I saw this video in 2008 and it still amazes me every time I watch its so a nice guitar duet and it always puts a smile on my face and makes any bad day into a positive love this song

[jaidoluv]

good stuff, Yellowjackets are one of my favs and Bob Mintzer is def the man. good to hear this with acoustic guitar.

[McGrottomaster]

Mr. McKee seems like the new Leo Kottke to me. I wish he'd do some Celtic reels -- e's Irish ain't 'e?

[MrKidCulebra]

This is like watching Machete and Chuck Norris fighting crime together!

[Fenderbenne]

this is really the spirit of west

[brotherofbaconator13]

this song sounds like somthing u would hear at a starbucks or a panera bread.

[p5yMan]

Chuck Norris couldn't play a guitar that good even if he kicked it

[Clevergamer]

wow, I'm impressed by the number of views, last time I checked, it was no where near

[fear123freak]

i wish that i was that plant so i could hear their awesome songs

[Sklurr]

@fear123freak You would have been hearing it as you typed that, so there is no need to wish that you were the plant. Unless I'm mistaken and the audio from this upload actually isn't Don Ross and Andy McKee. But I'm pretty sure it is their music because I don't think there is anything else on YouTube that can quite compare to it

[thec0nky]

The 44 dislikes were plants that were trapped in other rooms of the house.

[TheDarkKnight316]

I love it!!

[IHatePowerSaws]

What an obscure song for them to cover. Works obviously.

[j1backwood]

44 pure blooded haters.. genuine music like this is rare.

[keetonbob]

Ok Candy Rat, like I said 4 videos ago, this is the last one! I've got stuff to do today!

[PrettyMommyOfTwo]

@keetonbob I said that too... but for me... It's bedtime, must be up early for work... Starting to be extremely hard to turn off such amazing music!

[andiebautista17]

GENIUS!

[Gax701994]

they both made this song up as they went

[BobPokrzywaMusic]

i cant stand how great this is.

[mrRhwalden]

These two are the Stig's guitar playing cousins

[1234anshuman]

one word

holy shit

oh wait......

[PendulumOfChildren]

You know, there's all these comments about the plant being so lucky. But I don't people realize they are making the fucking table the plant is on levitate with their magic.

[dj5ko]

wuaaaaaaau.....great one.....

[xXDudeBoyXx]

that plant owe these guys 10 inches

[AhlisonWonderland13]

Are you fucking kidding me? I can't handle this much...omg i dont even have a word for it!

[lolagetou]

OOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMGGGG­GGGGGGGGGG!



[Glx789]

Chuck Norris gets smart they both want to take your title.

[Molhedim]

I have a bad cold and i feel like sh1t , but this music is warming me inside and i feel much better.Its like i'm healing

[dravennevermore]

chuck norris couldn't do this

[BAIXISTASCHOLES]

TWO KINGS FINGERS]TYLE

[hjalle10]

2 Gods 1 Plant

[Therustmiester]

If i had a theme tune to my life, this song would be it!

....probarbly drive me crazy after a few days but yeh u get the idea haha

Awesome song all on all, dont get me wrong

[cadz182]

there's HOPE TO MANKIND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)

[Thunder029]

These guys have good taste in music.

The original version was played by The Yellowjackets.

Sounds amazing. These guys play a really amazing version of this song. Just a really great song.

[AtomicFaxMachine]

I want to jump on a horse and ride into the sunset when I hear this song.

[samsonofdelos]

@AtomicFaxMachine hahaha totally, same here

[AndrewRice20]

...and I jizzed in my pants...

[Doosaphina]

Love this song these guys really feel the music

[agschwend]

This music should be the only religion in this world! We would have peace...

[ChaosInferno111]

I had thirteen epiphanies within the first nineteen seconds of this video. I lost count after that.

[fblb44]

"elevator music" doesn't even exist anymore its a phrase used by ignorant people who have a closed mind to different styles of music, open your ears to the beauty in which Don Ross and Andy McKee have created here

[iVanHalen666]

@fblb44 Only Justin Gay and Penis Gaga's music would deserve to be played in mall's toilets and elevators.

This... this....this is gonna be played in my funeral.

[ctp887]

@fblb44 thank you

[tenacious645]

@fblb44 I know right the last time I used the term elevator music was when I was like 10. hahaha

[akrocuba]

I am so jealous

[SlappytheNinja]

It took me way too long to find out who had originally done this song because they attributed it to Russell Ferrante and not Yellowjackets.

[goradio1]

44 dislikes? who the fuck?!?! lemme guess... you typed in "wacka flakka flamer" and stumbled upon this somehow. i swear, some people just wouldn't know talent if it bit their dick off. hammer ons, pull offs, all the harmonics, fingerstyle picking... it's amazing skill and talent. great video, along with every one mckee makes! dude's like the victor wooten of acoustic guitar. blows my damn mind.

[cashman156]

Yeah... I smiled too at the end! That was soooo beautiful to listen to.

[shavemymind]

DOUBLE FALCON PUNCH!

[OnlyForAmomentAW]

FALCON PUNCH!!!!!!!

[tag2426]

I listen to hard deep moody drum and bass beats and produce them also much of my inspiration comes from players like these two guys genre regardless these guys are pushing real music with real feel incredible vibes beautiful tune

[mikelzingaa]

@gremlin0890 you dont enjoy the calming relaxed feeling of elevator music man? but seriously... this is pure, raw talent. so no matter where it is appropriate for people to play it in society... its still one of the most amazing musics coming out right now. So.. ur dumb.

[aglockett]

does anyone have/know where i can get tabs for this???

[crosswalkstudios]

everyone type giftyoutube . com

[gremlin0890]

this is elevator music. completely lost interest in it once that was pointed out to me.

[MrFaulconbridge]

@gremlin0890 So you was interested when it was NOT pointed out to you that it was elevator music?

[gremlin0890]

@MrFaulconbridge basically, but that comment was written 3 weeks ago, what makes you think i wanna talk about it now?

[MrFaulconbridge]

@gremlin0890 YOur Polly Cover sounds like elevator music to me. If I went into an elevator and heard that, I would Die.

[skeepns]

@gremlin0890 if this is elevator music, then i don't want to leave the elevator till i die :)

[deinfathr]

this is awesome!

[bearythebearBFF]

i wish i worked at that building, so then when they started to play the song i could just "decide" that maybe that plant needed some water... a lot of water.

[EbbesEsse]

I love their music!

[Megabimser]

beautiful! it´s amazing what two guitarists can do . . .

[Nordiclegion]

I bet if this was recorded in HD, we could actually see the plant growing in the background :)

[JuiceHunt]

@Nordiclegion Better yet, we'd see the true Andy McKee and Don Ross, becoming Greek Gods.

[mrsgmason]

beautiful

[Andy40004]

thats the luckyest plant in the world

[KaslarProductions]

@Andy40004 I would argue that the tree that ended up becoming his guitar was the luckier plant.. :)

[Jenxxie]

@Andy40004 - ha ha ha ... and never a truer word was said ! Brilliant :o)

[yoznfroogurt]

@Andy40004 Lmao no kidding.

[Andy40004]

@Andy40004 holy butt fuck! this the first time when i get over 100 thumbs up!

[alexiuspap]

@Andy40004 hahahaha, you made my day! :P

[Andy40004]

@alexiuspap really?

[Andy40004]

@Andy40004 wow... i never had so many thumbs up in my life?!

[michaeltroke]

@Andy40004 that one coment made my whole day hahha

[Andy40004]

@michaeltroke :)

[JuliusDavisIII]

That truly is the spirit of the west. A home for the rest. Great Song!

[SenorTheodore]

they were siamese twins at one point. But when one single physical being played two guitars at the same time with such skill everyone within earshot burst into flames. They were separated for the well being of the human race.

[snickersthemouse]

@SenorTheodore lmfao thats awesome

[imgonnadiesoon]

...i just figured out everything about the universe. these two just told me, and they didn't have to say a damn thing... this love is more powerful than jesus...

[azahnd82]

Guitar sex.

[dustyorb]

makes me wanna burn one,lay on the couch and watch a candlelight flicker on the cieling......candle mambo

[jshawn777]

why do these people that come once in a lifetime aren't on tv?!! this is the real meaning of music!and yet we see stupid justin asshole or whatever on tv while these guys devote their lives to this kind of stuff. sigh* sometimes i wonder whats happening to this world

[jshawn777]

@jshawn777 god help us all

[CrypticDictum]

@jshawn777 It's always been like that. Just two examples: King Crimson and Jesse Cook. I think it's better this way. They're incredibly well known by people who can appreciate the unparalleled beauty of this type of true musicianship. The internet gets some things right. :-)

[jshawn777]

@CrypticDictum amen to that

[thatrastakid]

ANDY YOU ARE THE BEST IN THE WORLD!!

[Khobraz]

this song at the start gave me chills, so peaceful

[ZacVrono]

WAIT, should a black hole open up between them due to the density of thier awsomeness?

[erwickline]

if you dislike this you are ill conducive to good music, which means that by putting a dislike your calling yourself out as tone deaf.

[Tiord]

for real, he for real snaps at 0:51, amazing and purely brilliant piece of art

[jshawn777]

@Tiord sounded like a pen

[ChayotAiKadesh]

lol at the slight chuckle at the end :P

[TriviumFan15]

Wheres the other 3 guitarists?

[hairinthesoap]

myrange thats fucking funny as hell, u made me forget what i was gunna comment on, not, ur a queer

[arglechewyshoe]

@hairinthesoap well i thought it was funny..

[Zombie1990]

Its like Im in an alternate dimension where two michael hedges are playing side by side.

[K4inan]

Why is everything being compared to Justin Bieber nowadays? His only fans are 8 - 12 year old girls, what do they know about music =S? Appreciate the music in your comments please..

[roymclaurin2010]

its just like ,, holy shit,,,, man i wish i could play harmonica for you guys

[megan5486]

This is beautiful!!!

[megan5486]

[Stompinstein]

[Uzumakifire]

[MrBlitox]

[Greenamtern]

Simply one of the best covers of this song I've heard. Breathes new life and energy to the classic!

[tooreel1OO1]

their titles of the songs go good with the way its played.. thumbs up if u agree

[punchdrunque]

What's to say? The music/playing says it all.

[jshawn777]

@Nghaka123 what do you mean he can play this!he cant even sing shit! go back to your hole fanboy!

[fear123freak]

Just 2 good friends playing real music.real music is not justin biber

[blackrider42]

@fear123freak words cannot describe how ur comment made me feel dude

[Draquoir]

If your iPod or music player doesn't have Don Ross or Andy McKee, you should either buy some or burn it in your Justin Bieber brand furnace.

[Z0Mb1Eify]

Sounds like a hot summer enjoying the sun in a beach peacefully...Wonderful!

[Akayurui]

@arglechewyshoe Naww, i bet 2020 is the year he'll reach maturity.. Or puberty.. Whichever hits first. :D

[MrKanoh]

The music of the future :) good sound

[ValentineZwei]

I have amazing respect for people who can make that kind of sound come out of a guitar.

[DanielleT192]

It reminds me of a breezy summers day :) it's such a nice combination!

[Fr3etd4nc3r]

I could imagine Ben Lacey playing with them too :)

[Anim8edDeath]

is that standard tuning? no it cant be...what tuning are they using?

[L0kicha0tic0]

Maybe if I grow a beard I will get better at guitar...

[Fr3etd4nc3r]

@L0kicha0tic0 there is something about great musicians wearing a beard...im growing mine too, well see in few years if it helped ;D

[IllegalInAmsterdam]

Beautiful.

[TriviumFan15]

@medog2020

Go listen to more of your Justin Beiber and hip-hop shit.

I'm going to enjoy real music.

[medog2020]

@Sn1p3rSh4wn Elevator music is not real.

[arglechewyshoe]

@medog2020 Is 2020 the year you'll graduate?

[medog2020]

@arglechewyshoe Yes.

[arglechewyshoe]

[solidtenpin]

It's difficult for my mortal mind to comprehend everything going on in real time. It's what makes this so amazing.
