Andy McKee - Dependant Arising - www.candyrat.com

[lulhoofd1]

I love this tune but what the fuck happened to the version on the cd? The cd version is really off-tune..

[mtnhrdwearman1]

BEAUTIFUL TONE!!! On everything you play!!!

[turkasaurusrex]

is this the same tuning as Rylynn?

[Missmissrey]

!! I just realized someone with talent has a CD. I am going to the store!

[pinchosalcarbon]

that breakdown when he makes the drumloop on the guitar, just before that.. ...

[samyeaton5083]

he looks like he's in a church. the Church of McKeeism. I'd join that church.

[johncraigthe2nd]

Dependent Arising...so is the name a reference to the birth of his first child? That's what the name suggests to me. It's a great tune.

[snowboarder952]

I want to have sex with that guitar...

[ProvinceUK]

When he plays the percussive parts he sounds like he's in a cave or something...or maybe he's in his castle in the clouds.

[Spectra1947]

what the heck is the blue dot on his guitar???

[Hell31]

@Spectra1947 Reflection -_-

[FastWieJesus]

I wish I could buy the tabs somewhere :(

[pinchosalcarbon]

@FastWieJesus candyrat records website, google it

[i1killed2god3]

That blue dot following his guitar looks like a blue hue'd sniper dot sight. Someone's making him play for his life, and their doing a good job of it.

[misseptember]

@i1killed2god3 ahahah

[ivanbarzani]

This guy is a great guitarist and I love his work, but musical honesty forces me to say the rythme is quite approximative on the percussion parts with the fingers. I was even astonished, you still have to work Andy!

[Luudite]

looks like one of Andy's friends bought a blue laser to mess with him during the shoot

[Savantrick]

@Luudite It seems to move as he tilts the guitar to hit different chords so I think it might be a light from the camera

[JADWrity]

@Luudite the laser found its way to the guitar and hugged it when it heard the true awesomeness of this song!

[MrToddino]

everytime he strummed a string or tapped his guitar i would get goosebumbs on my back...................everyon­e thought i was just cold

[fasolplanetarium]

This song is awful.

[illuzion54]

@fasolplanetarium Awful enough to have you searching for it.

[TheAbbanddonn]

@fasolplanetarium You must go and crawl into a hole until you cry.

[dragonslayerED30]

these are all originals too? jeez...they just take me away to a descolent island.

[uhtred19941]

Chuck Norris: God him self sent me to the Earth.

Andy: I don't remember sending you ://

[DANNY082100]

this is truly a nighttime song

[Shribble11]

Elevator music? lol seriously this needs to be heard all over the world not this teen pop shit peaople listen to nowadays...

[ColtonCM]

Does anyone know why he has his fret board cut away like that on the top? It seems like it would only affect the E and A.

[tinyo95]

@ColtonCM It's called a partial capo, or 4 string capo. It affects the 4 top strings, and works exactly like a normal capo.

[ColtonCM]

@tinyo95 No not the capo, the part of the fret board that's actually missing. How the fret board curves towards the body of the guitar.

[tinyo95]

@ColtonCM That's probably only for embellishment.

[comlax22]

brought tears to my eyes, not sure why...this song is so full of emotion.

[Coopieification]

Can someone explain to me the significance, if any, of the way the high frets kinda curve off on his guitar? I saw it and was wondering if it makes a difference to playing/sound?

And this might be my favourite Andy song... :O :D

[L0wps]

@Coopieification stylistic. It usually helps to play the really high frets, but it's not really useful in this situation because there isn't even a cutoff in the body of the guitar.

[Mark08tl]

I love this feeling when you listen to a certain song after some time. It brings back memories of what you've been doing while listening the song. Damn, I can't get rid of smile out of my face now!

[ProfessorEJ]

i dont see one hate in the comments of any of his vids all for a good reason

[xander0713]

this confuses me. You have what looks to be a capo on the fifth fret and yet you are playing notes on 4 and below?

[b16blackcats]

@xander0713 the capo is only on the 3rd-6th strings so he only plays the first two when he is down that low. I play songs like that all the time.

[Jmyster4]

u see, when u make music this good, it makes people who generally pyrate music actually go out and buy his albums, which i have, and do for many other artists, but it started with him.

[layzaylaybontonrulay]

Been listing to this song for about 2 years now and it just donned on me the name "Dependent Arising" means, "Baby on the Way". It all makes perfect sense to me now.

[meadish]

@layzaylaybontonrulay That's a nice interpretation but I think he is referring to Pratītyasamutpāda .... google it and you'll see.

[layzaylaybontonrulay]

@meadish genius...i feel dumb now. Thanks for the enlightenment

[derricktoualee]

Out of curiosity, what was that blue laser thing?

[wariomt]

nice nails :)

[twistedsicklove]

im hooked ive been adding every song of yours ive listened to to my favorites,your an amazing guitarist!

[Firecrow86]

Poetry...in its purest form.

[FoookDat]

This is a great melody... truely harmonic

[Jackiesstash08]

40 dislikes?! why? how?

[Swedishpersondude]

Srsly this is just mind blowing... Emotions put into notes!

[JaroslavBB]

I wonder where did 40 haters come from...

[carlosfc04]

@JaroslavBB probably they are deft, it´s almost unbelievable that 40 as*H***** hate this music.

[jafuller24]

I have to admit, im quite a big fan, but i think my 2 year old has me beat. Every time i play one of your songs Connor will come running from anywhere in the house yelling "andy kee, andy kee" and sit on my lap and sway back and forth until the song(s) are done.

[weebok4412]

@jafuller24 lol that's adorable :)

[copslovesteven]

@jafuller24 That is probably the single coolest thing I've heard in awhile.

Probs for the new generation.

[copslovesteven]

@copslovesteven err... props*

[MongersUnited]

@jafuller24 You probably aught to buy that little man a guitar :-)

[Fendertastic]

@jafuller24 Beautiful :)

[emgsa85]

@jafuller24 kid has an ear for great MYOOSICS



[TheMetalViking666]

@jafuller24 i can't imagine how beautiful that must be..! I love Andy Mckee very much too.. he touches my soul so deeply, i just can't help closing my eyes, and sway and move to the music myself.. This makes me so reflected, and it always makes me want to grow wings, and fly away, stop all the wars, stop all the hate, help every human being out there.. mend their hearts with love, sharing..

there's so much pain in this world.. please, enjoy what you have, friend!

[jamesflames505]

I wonder if when Andy goes to sleep at night, he puts his album in to listen to.

[EnterTheMurk]

Looks like Andy's about to get sniped. That's what jealousy does for you.

[MettyJay]

@EnterTheMurk Yet his playing mesmerized the sniper, and he just couldn't take the shot, and so he lives to amaze us all another day :) (Even if he did get shot his sheer awesomeness would protect him)

[ikeman1156]

This is the first time Ive seen this song on the side related thing. Why the hell is that? I get that Guitar Impossible guy every time on every Candyrat artist but not this. That guy cant even go through a song without editing the parts and speeding it up. Mr. Mckee doesnt need all that electronic speed. Just his 10 fingers and a brain

[enriquecouso1989]

Grandy Andy....Todo lo mejor para Usted, Todas las bendicones y siga haciendo esta hermosa musica con sus manos jajajaja Muy wueno todos sus trabajos Abrazos y saludos desde Argentina !!!!

[costinhape]

parabens pelo trabalho :)

[Mrfunkyboy18]

if i meet you in real life , ill pay you 1 thousand dollars for a private show 

[PaulsDigitalSelf]

@Mrfunkyboy18 I've seen him play twice, the first time I was close enough to the stage to spit on him. Collectively both shows cost me something like 30 dollars. And I got him to sign my guitar. I guess what I am saying is, just get a ticket and hand around after the show, he is very approachable.

[JJMidd1]

and that children is how you use a capo.

[Bashbro2323]

lazer pointer?

[darkinmysilence]

@Bashbro2323 i think it's just the reflection of the camera.

[MetalInsideGust66]

@Bashbro2323 All the dust goes to the inside of his guitar just hear the amazing song, then it gets so clean that it will reflect anything (:

[guitareeable]

the best ;)

[trawlin1]

Surreal. Misty eyes just trying to understand. This is beautiful

[AROTEDY]

so much soul and emotion put into his music never ceases to amaze me everytime i listen to his music

[ThisCockyGuy]

HOW CAN YOU HATE THIS GUY? THIS IS OUT TO THOSE 40 LOSERS WHO DIDN'T LIKE WHAT IS CALLED "TRUE-MUSIC WITH PASSION, DEDICATION AND PURE LOVE FOR PURE GODLY MUSIC"!!! I LOVE THIS GUY!!! (NOT IN THAT SENSE LOL) BROTHER YOU GO AHEAD AND AWE THE UNIVERSE!!! PEACE!!!

[Bajedu]

andy you're killing me with your perfect music I should be studying but instead i'm listening to your awesome strums keep it up brother

[Armyd00d]

I'm so glad I know who Andy McKee is, and what he can do to a guitar: Turn it into an instrument of peace :)

[kevinsonk]

I didnt even know a guitar could sound like that..

[lollerskates1992]

SILENT BOB!

[Maddo88888]

Its sad that the most ppl dont know, who the real Musicians are. today they dont care about real music, today they care about music, which is produced by famous ppl (like Bieber or similar). I hope someday the ppl realize, that it doesnt care WHO the songs make but as it sounds. (example: Andy McKee, aequitas etc.) (sry 4 bad english)

[MrManinthedark]

I've been absorbing inspiration all my life

[Jack1C1Brown]

What's with the blue laser pointer?

[DiemosIsTerror]

@Jack1C1Brown i thinks the reflection of a camera light on his guitar, it moves when he moves his guitar. besides, what kind a evil child do u have to be to use a blue lazer on andy mckee, they should be sentenced to a cage full of horny Bull elephants. let them suffer for the action against Andy and his music

[Jack1C1Brown]

@DiemosIsTerror Hahahahahah! I hope for the guys sake it is. I think being brutally raped by Bull Elephants would be a painful experience.

[umangatang]

just like anything in life, good quality things are only ever afforded by a lucky few.. however people who afford themselves this kinda music aren't necessarily wealthy, but just rich in good taste :D

[QuipyGirbo]

Andy always has a lot of rhythmic strumming/tapping going on with his right hand. I think it is particularly pronounced in this song.

[QuipyGirbo]

[coheed0211]

@QuipyGirbo

and in rylynn

[ItsMeBetweenLines]

"Now That's What I Call Music 37" CD is the promoted music under suggestions?! How does that even compare to this? Now this is what I call music! Andy McKee anytime.

[unclemeat1977]

Pay attention to the dynamics, young musicians! His use of dynamics is gorgeous.

[joacotegt]

awesome... this is the perfect example of what ismusic

[1313RAH]

if u liked this u will love SOULMOBILIN search it great music guys :)

[ThePurplemaneater]

I think I'll be starting a new religion, where the only ceremonial aspect of it will be to listen to Andy McKee at least 10 times a day

[zduncan24]

Play your music and the Andy in you will surface one day. I don't want to play like Andy.. then I would have to learn to play in my Jeep while driving, and that's not safe.

[agschwend]

It's very sad that most people do not understand what real music is. Real music touches you deep inside, awakens memories and emotions. It's like a well dosed drug. But if you overdose the drug (mainstream BS) then you loose the feeling for something so beautiful like real music. I don't know if you understad what i mean, i tried to describe my thougts as good as possible.

[fetor41]

This music sounds 100 times better when one is baked.

[ChaosInferno111]

This is the kind of music God listens to.

[SpartanLaserCanon]

@ChaosInferno111 I'm pretty sure GOD listens to all music and every band ever.

[ChaosInferno111]

@SpartanLaserCanon  Yeah but this is the kind he actualy enjoys ha ha!

[Zopiate]

@SpartanLaserCanon Except Lady Gaga.. That chick (or man) had to have sucked Satans cock to get where she (or he) is now.

[killroed1]

@ChaosInferno111 So where god Then? :P

[SuperSamzzz]

the best guy ever seen...... he's someone like joe satriani for me....

[MxFo08]

39 people jizzed so hard they couldn't see straight and missed the like button

[danobrien2468]

@MxFo08 Wasn't funny the first time someone posted something like that.... Still isn't :|

[dubysauce]

How could you NOT like this music??? I'm baffled.

[3Need3More3Cowbell3]

Its so good to be able to see a musician like this progress before your eyes

[junaids23]

3:33 is just pure kinky sex.

[HerbalNinja024]

If this song had a price of 100 dollars i would still buy it

[BreakNeckTurtle]

Beautifully played, so relaxing.

[teddybundy118]

@BreakNeckTurtle I bet if jimi hendrix was around today he would be signing on.

[clarjohn0169]

it sounds like the music.of soul.....

[JJpineca]

So relaxing :D

[JJpineca]

So relaxing :D

[haproductions01]

andy, i hope you know that without your music i wouldn't be able to get to sleep at night. your tunes never fail to relax me in any situation, and it's still incredible to watch you play. coming from a kid with an anxiety disorder, this music is what keeps it from getting any worse, and is essential medicine for the soul. that being said, everyone should have a recommended daily dose of Andy McKee.

[ohhboooone]

@haproductions01 I'm with you on this one man. I'm a kid with anxiety problems also. This music is seriously what keeps me going. I've just recently started listening to him and I'm so thankful that I did. And you're right, It basically is like a medicine.

[lommstein]

@ohhboooone i would recomend giving some Antoine dufour a listen, i began listening to andy then slowly got more into antoine's music. Every album gets better and better try "to run in a dream" or any song of convergences for that matter there all great tunes. cheers

[poopuytoi]

@haproductions01 i have stress management and anger problems, they go away with his music, love it!

[Jesrockr]

Oh no they've got the laser sight on his guitar!

[slipknot3daysgrace]

3:03 epic face. I'd make one too if i could play that good =D

[jdubbizness]

I've never seen a guitar player do a drum solo... while STILL PLAYING GUITAR! lol This dude is a beast!

[MetalInsideGust66]

i'm your greatest fan from brasil

[reubenpeters1986]

i completely agree i am a musician in New Zealand and i have travelled around the world and a can say without a doubt that andy mckee is the best guitarist i have seen.

such talent deserves to be admired and respected. keep it up andy. from all you're fans in NZ

[ClairePeine]

apart from how uplifting this music makes me feel, i gotta say, i rather like his collection of guitars :'D

[EngLhag]

WTF?? A capo covering 4 strings only? LoL ... Awesome. Great idea =D

[whdudgh2145]

@EngLhag He uses the capo to cover 4 strings in many other songs, and if I am right, it is a short-cut capo. those go for around $20 USD

or you could just put a capo upside down/ cut it

[EngLhag]

@whdudgh2145 Thanks. I've just seen it in other videos. I didn't knew that :)

[JoelMeOff]

am i trippin? or is there a blue laser pointer on his guitar?

[floby37]

@JoelMeOff I'd say taht's the camera light =)

[KSGCards]

I bet he doesn't spend 12 hours a day playing on WoW! lol

[nick333123]

Anyone else noticed the purple dot on the guitar?

[AllTriforces]

@nick333123 yes sir.

[invador50]

Everyone thinks they're all sweet cuz they say "The song sucks after it it ends or [insert last minute and second here]"

Well I got a new one for you guys :P

The best part of this song is when it starts.

[supermans4l]

as a younger guitarist (been playing for 2 years, just 20 years old) ive drawn limitless inspiration from andy when playing acoustic. mainstream music doesnt cater to the budding guitarist, but the internet sure does. I dont care how big gaga or beiber gets, theyll be forgotten. Players like McKee are guys i'll tell my kids about, who i'll raise them up on. Music like this is what inspires me

[childrenofblackwidow]

@supermans4l hell yeah bro...... i thought of the same...... though i may be 14 years old i have as deep thoughts as you, keep it up, music is really what keeps me going

[M4lign]

@supermans4l thats because people who listen to pop music usually dont care what they listen to as long as its music. people that appreciate great music can find truly talented musicians like andy mckee. i know im not alone, but i love music that has real emotion in it, and that just cant be found in the mainstream scene.

[neilorourke71]

@supermans4l fuckin right. more talent in one of this guys armpit hairs than justin beibers entire body. im 18 and ive been playin for about 4 years, and this guy is one of the best acoustic guitarists ive ever heard

[BreakNeckTurtle]

@supermans4l Dam well said my man, dam well said. Wholeheartedly agree!

[ndtguitar93]

@supermans4l I thought so

Andy McKee is my biggest idol

I do not understand why he had provided me inspiration endless music so but I finally pulled out the one thing that Andy McKee's music that makes people excited every time we enjoy the works long forever with time

[AcousticDreams0]

@supermans4l Well said, superman. Andy McKee is playing truely heartfelt music. I'm a young guitarist too, and instead of becoming discouraged from this, all I find is inspiration. Sometimes I'm frustrated I can't come up with stuff like this, but all it takes is patience I suppose. Although, it's hard to stay patient when your only desire is to play like this guy. haha.

[23Guitardood]

@supermans4l Well said my man

[twhite970]

@supermans4l you know andy isn't very old. just like 31 so hes pretty young too

[oOSHAD0WZOo1]

@twhite970 he is 47 boy :)

[twhite970]

@oOSHAD0WZOo1 really? well thx for the correction=)

[coheed0211]

@oOSHAD0WZOo1

More like 32.

[oOSHAD0WZOo1]

@coheed0211 nope i checked on wikipedia lol

[coheed0211]

@oOSHAD0WZOo1

Yeah, on Wikipedia it says he was born in 1979, which makes him 32. It even says he is 32.

[BigCanOfBeans]

@coheed0211 next year, he would have been born in 1980 - fate simply wants him to live forever as a 32 year old genius.

[oOSHAD0WZOo1]

@coheed0211 when i looked it say'd he was 42? robs changed/corrected it :O

[haproductions01]

being a buddhist i totally dig the whole peaceful feel of this song. it's perfect for meditation, hence the tile "dependant arising"

[MetalInsideGust66]

u thoroghly right, nowadays we have only shit playing every place u go.it's pretty sad D:

[byange821]

what makes me love andy is the way he delivers his songs..

you can see it in his face...

[cotteneyedjoe1]

Little blue light fail!!!

[clapjon]

ok for the tunning: EBDGBD, capo 5th fret string 6-3

No one got the tab however?

Thx!

[scipiO213]

@clapjon no its not the tuning isDADCAD i Know how to play this song this is how it is

[clapjon]

@scipiO213 Thanks! Have you learned it by watching the video?

[clapjon]

@scipiO213 I just received my Hubb capo... Tunning is definitely EBDGBD with capo to the 5th fret string 6 to 3 ;-)

[DuskY1991]

@clapjon I believe you are correct.

[clapjon]

Anyone got an idea where we can find the tab? At least the tunning?

[djbenji1970]

Well said blacksmithphillips, But thats because we live in a world full of brainwashed mugs.

[danhengemihle]

how could you dislike this?

[medog2020]

FAKE!!!

[PDRChris]

@medog2020 haha really fake. Go back to playing guitar hero.

[sienerful]

@PDRChris please don't feed the troll.

[OpressionOffical]

@medog2020

Shut up and learn that the world is extremely talented people, which you are not (:

[giancosk8]

beautiful, the little blue light of cam made this more special

[Juggalo5588]

This Beats the shit out of Justin Bieber, and brittney spears, or justin timberlake anyfucking day. This is Music!

[beyshila]

Wonderful ♥

i had never seen such an talented men
