  • Hell yeah man! Sounded awesome!

  • good job bro!

  • It's believable to learn this in 2 months...I've learned normal songs in less than 15 minutes. Some people have musical talent and perfect pitch and are able to learn quickly. Yes, this song has some advanced tapping and hitting the guitar for rhythm but 2 months is very reasonable.

    Good cover, man.

  • best cover i've seen on youtube

  • hahahaha i believe u. The song is a lot harder than it looks ;P ive been playing it for 2 days and i already got the main melody and stuff down well. Its just the taping is awkward other than that its not hard!!!! and ur cover is impeccable great job!!!! :)

  • /watch?v=ZcGOGoG4U8k&feature=r­elated

    this guys is better i thnk

  • best cover i've heard yet.

  • cool *****

  • Bravoo!! well done :)) Keep up the excellent playing :))

  • Great cover, im attempt to learn rylynn at the moment,

    how long have you been playing?

    and is that a yamaha Fg310 or soemting, its the exact guitar i had as my first acoustic, its a great guitar for the price : )

  • You can play guitar too, jesus!

    Great cover, one of the the best on YT.

  • You are good but if you play slower the song will be much better !!!!!!

  • andy is pissed you can play it as perfectly as he

  • whats your tuning man??

  • W.O.W.......keep up the good work, man...exactly the same like andy....

    god bless.....

    cheers, amateur guitarist from johor

  • Hello another fellow Malaysian.I learned this song too and played it multiple time.Keep the good work up...!

    Guitarist from Sarawak.

  • not bad.. where do you live?

  • Akward... (Nice vid btw)

  • you are super talented i have seen many covers of this song many are not quite right or have minor flaws your cover was magificient and it deserves recognition as such 5* good job :)

  • God Bless You

  • Very nic job! Very nice!!! i'm gonna try to learn this now. You just gave me the inspiration. Thanks :L) Great job on piano and guitar! They're my two favorite instruments. Well excluding violin etc...

  • awesome job dude!you´re fantastic

  • rasism?

  • nice

  • dude you got the same acoustic as me i believe ! nice isnt it , great cover!

  • 2 months is kind of a lot...but ur really good though. i bought a guitar 4 days ago with no experience at all and had it down in 3 days...with an hour and a half a day :-D

  • there is no possible way that thats true

  • your right mate they just trying to act like they better then everyother fucker in the world lol , its impossible for your fingers to become tuned in that amount of time

  • Frickin idiot....The song is really easy to learn....especially now when you have like 15 different video tutorials on utube. This video was posted in 2007 when there were not that many tutorials so i can get two months......but now u can learn it even in one day. just cause u couldnt retard doesnt mean others cant...i have friends who did it in two.....shite for brains.

  • That doesnt mean they're acting better than everybody else.....it just mean they learn quickly which obviously u dont kno how to do....... again shite for brains.

    nd ur damn fingers must be like jello not to be able to play it....its mostly picking and strumming. Just the few occasional of hammer ons and slides rnt "impossible"

  • Either way, just looking at the video makes it look really difficult.

  • i don't think it's that hard to believe that you learned it in two months.. i learned it in like 2 weeks.. friend of mine had it down in 5 days on christmas break

  • i dont want to be mad with you but i seen your version and i must anwser to your comment.You dont play the song entirely and it does'nt sound like the dude :-P to play the song correctly and perfectly i think it takes at leats two month of practice

  • it's a cover.. and he did a phenomenal job.. that's a very hard song to play : P

  • great cover (:

    the only thing that bothered me was the fact that when you hit the strings with your right hand, you hit them in rather random spots, instead of the harmonics.

    it might make your hits sound cleaner :3

    ^^

  • and I just watched your second video.

    LOL ):

    I see you've already fixed that (:

  • suka good

  • LOL, 2 months is more than needed to learn this song. In fact it's really easy to play. A groovy song is not necessarly hard to play, and that makes this song better again. There's a lot of tutorial on youtube, try it and you'll see it's not as hard !

  • more like 2 days. seriously..

  • good job but.. compaired to andy mckee, meh.

  • lol slap that guitar! jk man ur really good.

  • its nice to have talent... but to be bragging... ha! its better to be just silent...

  • i disagree, IMO a talent not shared is wasted!

  • wow !!!!!!!!!!!

  • a very accurate cover but you wrote that whole long paragraph talkin about people naggin and that just makes em wanna nag more like radaznpqnage over here so the best thing you can do is just ignore it

  • WAWAWEEWAH

  • Nice. This is the best cover on youtube.

  • That was amazing! And I believe that you can learn this song in two months and maybe even less! Great job!

  • lol shut up wishyoucouldbeme0405 if ur so good make a vid of u drifting:P

  • if i had a camera i would lol ^_^

  • u did a great job really, and i believe that u DID learn this song in two months, i have been playing guitar for 9 months now and i can play drifting and rylynn(and like 40 other songs! i practice 4 - 6 hours a day amazing...dont listen to those critics, they're full of shit, UR COVER ROCKS! 5 STARS!

  • wishyoucouldbeme SIKE

    ur a fgt fagt fagg faggot bitch

  • btw im trying to learn this to, could you send me the tabs?

  • wow nice job! sounds great 5 stars!

  • You're a star! Keep it up!!! :)

  • wow!

  • wow i learned this song in one night!

  • gj. better then my cover. It also took me 2 months to learn.

  • word. dude i learned this whole song in three days. i like your little temper tantrum though. "I DON'T CARE ANYMORE" haha. oh and dude that thing i guess you're doing with you nails is pretty phat man. right on

  • HO! Conkersbfd365 You KNOB! Get your version up I wanna check you out wonder-kid. who the fuck do you think you are ? the Jimi Hendrix of acoustic guitar?!!

    Great playing Ahmad

  • Lol nice imitation xD

  • I've got half of the song down and I've never touched a guitar before 2 week ago so I believe you, although I have a long way before I'm close to as good as sounding as this. Thats why I practice 3 hours a day and im sure I'll have it in a month.

  • bullshit

  • Today I can play the entire song through by memory, now I just have to perfect the tempo and work harder on a few spots involving tapping, this song isn't as hard as it looks

  • you have a nice guitar

  • precisa afinar issO hein amigoo

  • is that real? 0.o Cause Wow that Amazing man XD!!!!

  • i have to say, 2 months isn't that bad. it took me about two weeks to learn the whole song without the percussion, and another week to get the percussion down. then it took me a pretty long time to not speed up during the song

  • Alitle slow and a few missed notes and so but overall god job!

  • Nice !!!!

  • dude sick piano and guitar skills.

    you have talent man.

  • Much respect to you, two different instruments and you pulled it off with both of them...well done, I respect you Ahmad!

  • Post a vid and prove it you twat, otherwise, stop being a dick. This goes double for everyone else.

  • I'm not the one claiming to have learned it in a month.

  • who cares?

  • What I'm saying is that you shouldn't depreciate his accomplishment with your unfounded bragging and immaturity.

  • He may be bragging but what he is saying is true! it's a very easy song i learned it myself and im nothing but a lousy pianist! so all of yeh go get ur hands on a guitar and learn it :P

  • I wouldn't mind so much if he wasn't being a douche about it. I acknowledge that it's not the hardest song to play on guitar, but it is still above the skill level of many guitarists. So he has separated himself from the pack not once but twice. So again, I say, don't depreciate his accomplishment by calling it an easy song.

  • Yes m8 i understand u i just think that a commenter that were right got attacked and i felt like he needed some support :)

  • haha:P that was very good.....

    and you play the same song on the piano, that's very cool/impressing...:P

    Respect to you...

  • just out of curiosity is that a yamaha f700's series? if it is that is a really kickass guitar i learned on that one back in the day(= and still play it from time to time.

    however the whole 2 months thing is not out of the ordinary for learning a song like that any one who doubts you clearly does not know what they are talking about. i found that song to be quite easy and learned it in a matter of days. but i might be a bit over experienced because i have been playing for 8 years, hours a day.

  • LIAR!

  • The Description says:(apart from it)

    It's true that it takes months to perfect one song, I know it does. But just except the fact that I manage to learn this song in 2 months! I was on a long holiday, so that gave me a lot of time to practise!

    --

    Read it! Don't jump to conclusions. If you're still not going to belive me, then fine! I swear to god I'm not lying!

  • Edit: I've been reading comments that sais you've been playing GUITAR for two months and not practising this song for two months. If so then I'm very impressed. I wish I could play piano too... Just need some motivation...

  • 2 months IS a long time actually. I don't know how long you've been playing, though. I've been playing for 1 and a half year and it took me about a week or less to learn it. The hardest part was to drum while playing for me and it consumed most of the time.

    I attempted Africa but I just can't do the drumming part to it... Maybe another time. Anyway, good job. Sounds great!

  • very nice! 2 months, a long time lol!

  • It's highly possible to learn this song in 2 months. It's not that hard actually. Good job :D

  • what if you've been playing 12 years, and have already studied the likes of preston reed??? this song is very like preston's, and preston is one of andy's main influnces...just to back that up! and as 3245james said , its easier than it looks! you could learn it in a week, like i did! only because i already had experience in this style of playing! and this kid obviously has passion for what he is doing so im guessing that he had it learned long before he recorded it, so the vid would be good

  • incredible brother. im trying to find out how to learn the rest of this song.. i dont know where to find how

  • Nice job man! Rylynn next?

  • Nice try guy ;)

  • I believe you learnt it in 2 months xD

    For those people who have actualy tried to learn it they will no that its ALOT easier to play than it looks.

  • Yo man. Fellow Malaysian, you rock! WOO HOO! I've been playing the guitar for only 1 and a half months, but I'll try my best to do as great as you do!

  • Ofcorse its possible the kid has just worked hard at it, dont be such defeatists!! well done chap.

  • 2 months? LIAR! GREAT JOBB!!

  • ure carrer better be in music...cuz man..learning this song in two month....it aint easy......great job man...keep it coming

  • If u like music, and if ur into music 2 month aint super much, tho gr8 job :)

  • hey buddy great job! btw fuck all the doubters and haters this kids got talent.

  • wow stfu.

    maybe he's a fast learner...

  • 2 months? I got a bridge for sale....

    Awesome playing, regardless.

  • please 2 months...yeah ok

    if it was possiblein 2 months why would andy mckee be this popular? i think your full of it

    its amazing dont get me wrong but you didn't just learn in 2 months

  • i highly doubt it too...probably exagerating a bit...but man some people just got it...and plus...he says he played other shit before...and he played piano so he knows rythm...i've only been playing like 3 months...and the only reason i can somewhat do the intro is because i've been a drummer for like 5 years...

  • yea, one of my friends is amazing pianist/vocalist in a conservatory. he picked up a guitar one day and decided he wanted to learn. In like a week or so of steady playing, he was pretty dang good. I mean his fingers are so used to moving quickly, it was like nothing. Guitar is not easy, but I feel like it is one of those instruments you can pick up real easily if you have prior musical abilities.

  • ya and i just read what earthquake wrote again...who cares how long it took a kid to learn another guys song...the reason andy is so popular is because he MADE the song...didn't just learn it...

  • WOW!!!

    Only 2 months or playing..

    Are you kidding me?

  • im amazed too by your talent that you only learned this for 2 months. well done.

  • talent..

  • Good work !!

  • love the consistency in beat

  • u are andy mckee 2 ! lol

  • Hard to believe you learned drifting in 2 months.

    My teacher has been playing for 16 years and thought the song was amazing

  • sounds a bit different than the real one :P

    watever, ure still great!!

  • for someone who's only started to play guitar, you're amzing - but i'm sure you hear this a lot don't you ;)

    keep it up, from the way it looks, you have very very good musical ears :)

  • it's a Yamaha

  • man uve practised hard out bro. respect

  • great playing man

  • dude ure good...!

    but where can i learn this..??

  • This was awesome.

    Try alternating your body hits with your left hand from the face of the guitar to the side.

    It's a lot more of a challenge. Awesome though. You've practiced.

  • Well.....this is just an impro. I can play better than this now. But I'm very busy so I wont be posting videos in a while.

  • if youve been playing the piano then its not that hard to learn the guitar. good job though!

  • nice one dude :)

  • are you tuned EADGAD?

  • Actually, DADGAD

  • its drop d rite????

  • DADGAD

  • well i never tuned to DADGAD SO DOES THAT MEAN YOU ONLY TUNE THE 1ST STRING

    .....CAN YOU TELL ME WAT STRINGS TO TUNE DOWN??

  • i thimk its in drop d

  • DADGAD

  • sorry the whole two months thing doesnt sell to me but considering that you did play piano first does make it have some sense. if it really did turn out to be two months then those fingers must be gifted because its tough to learn chords with fingers new to the guitar but eh whatever good job at playing one of the best covers on youtube!

  • dude no one believes you that you picked up a guitar and in only two months you learned andy mckee drifting, maybe if you practiced six hours a day everyday, you had to of had some experience with the guitar before that, it takes even the most experienced guitars a few weeks to learn that song, and ur saying u learned it in two months without ever picking up a guitar and only havin the tabs to learn it with, your full of it! i admit though you did a damn good job of playing it

  • I know! I know no one believes it! And since when did I say that I played 'Drifting' before picking up a guitar? The first time I picked up my guitar, I just tried and tried, you know why? (read the comment below)

  • Continue::

    Because I concentrated 'Drifting' on piano first. As I got use to the notes flying around my mind, I started picking up the guitar and learned it. It took a lot of focus and yeah right six hours! I spent from afternoon to late night just learning 'Drifting'! Has anyone else done that?

  • Continue:

    Has anyone else done that before? Spending more than 6 hours just staring at the computer screen, watching the same video all over and all over again non-stop, with dry and burning eyes? I watched and watched and WATCHED!!! And as for your information, many people say I have the mind for music. they didn't tell me in comments. They told me via E-mail.

  • Right now, I'm trying to play 'Drifting' better and perfectly.And it is really giving me a headache! Anyway, thanks for your comment!

  • wow finally an asian guitarist lmao

  • 2 months....... im not so sure, but hey, if it is 2 months. YOU ROCK

  • awesome, keep playin

  • DAMN 2 MONTHS !!! .. keep it up dude .. thats amazing ..

    Jeff Williams / guitarist

  • in the begining... between the beat hits on the guitar, when you go to hit the strings, your doing it wrong, try to hit the 12th fret when you it the strings... you'll hit the 12th octave and it'll sound sick :P but other than that you blew me away!
