Drifting Andy McKee Performance

[cavehobo1]

Really great cover. The only criticism I have is that the third and fourth bass parts in the main section are an eighth after the melody.

[bushwa83]

holy shizzle mate, this is amazing!

[Rek999999999]

nice boaa :)

[Groundbrawl]

That is too jolty... plus people if you want to learn this song... Andy Mckee himself made a tutorial for this song. look that up. what better way to learn a beautiful song than from the master himself?

[DiViNiTY1337]

Left hand is WAAAAAAAAAY off. I didn't watch this vid until I saw your tutorial and I was like, "What? Melody isn't 'on -beat' here! The 'beat' is the same all the time!". So I just had to watch this, and now I hear that it is waaaay wrong. Your good anyways, its just the 'beat' that is wrong.

[corvettecentral]

Is there a face in there somewhere?

[andysbrother1]

You need to work on your left hand buddy

[carlimaguiar]

very good..and tks for the lessons... but you forgot so many harmonics, almost all of then... why didn't you used it?

[xsniper89x]

amazing

[antizicoh]

how much ur guitar?

[xsniper89x]

[musicman4YaEh]

great job man! it is not an easy song to play, but it is very rewarding

[XxChEqQaxX]

Good, but not that feeling...

In Andys version you can touch his feelings...

[chillguitar94]

nice work!

check out my cover of drifting! keep it up =D

[drsodan]

GREAT.... Playing Drifting rushed means that youve really got it down.. keep it up bro!!!

[BurdeeProductions]

this is fantastic, and better than i can play it, but the 3rd and 4th bass hits in the main riff should be an 8th later than they are. they end up syncopated against the right hand instead of dead on.

[zouz55]

WHERE IS THE GROOVE MAN ?

nobody play this song like him....

relax, and work..... ;p

[roellpeterss]

i can follow part 1 and the beginning of part 2. but how the fuck are you doing the next parts. big up man !

[LeoBrazil89]

it was really awesome!!

[theawesomesara]

Heh, I think you have to be ADHD or somethin' to play the way Andy Mckee, Don Ross, or Phil Keagey play, 'cause you've got to keep a bass, melody, and percussion all at the same time in a single song on a single guitar. . .guess I have a pretty good head-start then. =P

[deathbyzza420]

thank you so much dude i can play it all!!!

time to go get my di*k wet! lol jk dont need the guitar for that

[Frickenlickengood]

This is not negative feed back, Mainly because i'm still in the middle of learning this song (Well just the bit after the verse thing - 0:45 to 1:00 that's the only bit I'm learning) But, You're hammer on's (2nd 5th and 7th threat on E and A) during 0:16 and 0:31 you're doing it a bit to quick, Think of it as when you're about to hammer on... You should do it a beat after you did it in this video. Pretty good i must say.. I'll record mine sometime and show you what i mean. Much love.

[cobaltw]

great how to's bro. simple enough for beginers to understand and specific enough to where we all know what the hell we are doing! XD lol but play a tad bit slower. its like lifting weights. if you do it to fast, its not helping anything. constructive critisisim! :D you did an amazing job though!

[suchpimpness]

haha your playing it wrong bud.

you taught me how. so we made the same mistake

[Recharte]

You made me buy that guitar!!! :D

[arronmiddlemiss1]

do another cover made because its gr8 !! only slow it down a little because its not the spped that makes it a beautiful peice its the altogether sund

[guitayrplaya]

Amazing cover compared to most that I've seen.

Also I owe you my balls in payment of your tutorial, I've been watching it again and again for the past 5 hours and still can't get through the first part of the song so rushed or not, this cover is fucking great.

That's again for the tutorial!

[AsmundSO]

Nice work, but tune your guitar better next time you post something(!)

[YuchanSaurusRex]

Good, but I think you should the harmonics a little bit harder.

Also on the part after the intro, you kinda play the rhythms a bit wrong when you hammer the 5th and 7th.

But other than that it's really good :)

[dafadafrer]

丁寧でわかりやすいし綺麗な音が出ていると思います！！

しょっぱなと最後のベース音のタイミング（ｔｉｍｉｎｇ）がズレ­てますよね？？

レッスンの時からズレてましたがまさか最後の演奏までズレていた­とは。

徹底的な勘違い？でもこの人の出す音は優しい音なので凄く好きで­す。

[pekisi]

those flowers in the edge of the guitar really look like the ibanez jem's :P

[calmicky]

i'm thinking of buying this guitar soon ... would you say it has more of a cheerful tone or a more somber tone ?

[AnderUnplugged]

awesome dude!! i got a few things to talk about, but all the other people commented about what i was going to say as a fellow musician. one thing i MUST say is that those headphones look awesome!! what are they? and also, your tutorials are legitimately the best tutorials i have EVER watched!! YouTube and off youtube too!! great job dude

[jaygnap]

youve got one too many pats of the guitar in the first part, pretty wrong sounding immediately

[mrchu2]

1 crit only. the 5th and 7th tapped bars arnt coming on the off beat like they should be. You are playing them on the off beat at the same time as the melody (19 sec)... the melody should come first. really good keep it up. :)

[mrchu2]

one one crit. the tabed bar on the 5th and 7th fret arnt on the off beat like they should be. your playin them at the same time as the melody which should come first. kepp it up

[SatanicXblood]

Perfect

[alilmetalkid]

good but watch the timeing

[barrf02]

not bad actually... but please, remove those bracelets before recording.

[AttilaWMC]

After the drumming intro your playing it wrong. you bar the fith and tap the 6th on G at the same time and its the same with the bar on the 7th and tap the 6th on the G, you're supposed to hit them at the same time, your supposed to bar the 5th and 7th one note early and then tap the 6th and continue with the song. watch andy play it and youlll what i mean. if your still confused im talking about from 0:18 to 0:25

[DaDooM88]

brilliant quality and good playing but your timing on the bass-hammerons in the chorus is different from andys play. he always hammers them on a downbeat, 4 on the floor, you do 2 downbeat-hammerons on the 2nd fret, then you do a upbeat-hammeron on the 5th a half beat too early and a upbeat hammeron on the 7th. propably it was your intention to do it like this, idk.

[psppoy]

u play so much good ..

but the guitar sounds like BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ !!

[halohater9]

the bass line does not hit at the same time as the hammer ons. its a little bit wrong in that section....

[Arttuonline]

really nice. What do you think of the AW40 guitar? Is it a good buy?

[halohater9]

timing is all wrong......on the power chords....whats with the headphones?????

[fenderstrat707]

@halohater9 it is so he can hear what he sounds like

[MultiParasite]

Very good, the rhythm is interesting, and simply original, not wrong. Howgh!

[digitwiz]

Very nice cover!you did the bass notes, and the overall rythm of the song quite rushed, you may want to relax a bit :) nice anyay!

[hotpinkpaul]

Your timing is brutal...

[wattsy1000]

your rhythm is wrong in the "verse" but good otherwise

[ZacharySmith22]

i learned it using your tutorials, now go watch my cover :P!

[xXwarstuserXx]

amazing but i think it´s a bit fast

[kali2114]

very good lesson! :) I teach this. GREETINGS from Poland. Joł! ;)

[yaffytaffy12345]

You definitely had your own interpretation of his song. And I must admit it's pretty fast. But hey, I give you props for learning it. I'm learning it right now, and it is soooo difficult to play!! Thanks for sharing. :]

[BrotherBagel]

please don't play like a chick....

[aurback]

good job! check out my version

[JhenBualat]

you're so great dud.i'm so impress. i'm so thankful that you made a tutorial of this wonderful song.. it's very helpful for me because i really try hard to learn that song. Where did you buy you're guitar? it's so nice. may i have one? heheh just kidding.

thanks dud. I'm Jhenward from Philippines.

[Vpain90009]

helped me out a lot with your tutorials thanks

but the only mistake you made was that the 2 5 and 7 line is actually all off beats

[elmestra]

Congratulations , this is the way to sound , working to hard , so you need to equalice the final sound , cose is to brilliant but bery good , see you .

[DustD91]

your timing around 17 seconds is off. your slaps slow down. the tapped notes arent on the same beat as the bass notes.

[TheNameisSpeed]

@DustD91 At least he played it... show us your one.

[Copilot24]

i learned this song in 4 or 5 hours and i can play it pretty well

[pheelux]

lets hear it copilot

[matthewkasulka]

Dude, you were not on tempo, you kept speeding up, and you don't hammer on the power chords until after you hit the bottom notes.

[MaybeYesNo90]

I have those headphones too, they sound really nice, lots of bass ;) cool stuff

[IXconnorXI]

Nice but it keeps changing tempo.

[alecnguyen35]

Good but seems a little rushed

[diamonddust22]

Nice job man. I know It would take me ages to learn that.

[pollypowell]

little tiny bit fast but that was pretty good mate well done :) x

[klearlykahmerican]

Man you rock. It must be so hard to break down Andy's song and play it for yourself. Copying people's work is so original.

Take your Brit-goth-emo-asian-punk shinanigans elsewhere.

@Stretch836...this is why copycats don't deserve credit. Look up Andy Mckee, the person who wrote the fucking song.

[diamonddust22]

@klearlykahmerican people learn how to play and become better players and songwriters when they actually learn the tune. By doing this you can make up your own stuff. Nice how you throw someone into all those categories. Where are your songs? Do you actually play an instrument? You shouldn't be so angry and bitter.

[kbedard55]

@klearlykahmerican it funny how jealously can lead up too.

[TheNameisSpeed]

@klearlykahmerican LETS SEE YOU PLAY IT. ARE YOUR EYES OPEN? ALMOST HALF OF YOUTUBE IS PLAYING COVERS OF OTHER PEOPLE SONGS. Good day to you, asswipe.

[Slowhand1981]

Nice Guitar! It's an Ibanez no? There's the tree of life on the neck, same thing on the Steve Vai Signature Guitar. What did u pay for it? I'm looking to buy the same. How do u like that guitar?

[wijnand55]

see video discription...

[D133GO]

OMFG!!

[halohater9]

the bass notes do not hit at the same time with your right hand...doesnt it sound a lil wierd to you.....

[Stretch836]

I'm new to youtube and decided I would check out the happenings, I came across you playing guitar. Being a guitar player myself, i appreciated your sound. I'll check out the rest now. stretch

[AndyHayward1989]

Nice cover, although isn't that the AW40 ECE as its electro-acoustic? Although its colour seems lighter than the RDV...?

[Airsoftfun371]

Gotta love the HD 485's

[p0t0ngrambut]

great job dude..

I've learned this song from your tutorial..

but may b you can fix the "on-beat & off-beat" part of your "Part II" video.

Overall.. NICE..

see my video response..

[LeonLight13]

lol not bad to fast, but yeah the tutorial u gave, clearly sums it all up ^_^ any way

nice going

[feriz12]

yeah

his cover contains many errors.. ^^

[Skulldron]

nice playing ;-)

your guitar looks like my AW 40 ECE Resonant Dark violin lol

[FredyM101]

nice try

cant compare to the feeling andy plays it with

but nice technique

[RedzKapay]

Eh It it a good effort Andy I was not feeling insulted... I'm gonna buy that same guitar today a can hear your guitar's slight twang and bluegrass pitch... it sounds like what I am lookin for....

[dylansladefield]

Honeslty this is pretty good, you gotta admit. So what if it's fast? If it sounds freaking good then I'd give'm 5 Stars. I am learning it from this video for my guitar class.

[jroose14]

Cut your hair, hippy

[Inf3rn027]

a little fast but ok

[suemusicdown]

the hammered chords with the left hand and the first tapped note of the melody with the right hand in the first part aren't supposed to be on the same beat. andy doesn't play them at the same time like you're doing

[turbosolan]

Hehe..You should watch Andy before you post those learning videos

[QymLym]

pretty perfect

[Zman200111]

I think it Sounds good fast,

[Spairtain117]

ur as good as he is!

[kentokanazawa]

I saw your tutorial, and it helped a great deal in order for me to play it. In fact, it only took me only a day to learn the entire song structure.

Thanks a lot!However, I realized that the rhythm on the verse part is always off beat, never played on the beat, as you explained on the tutorial. Perhaps that'll perfect your performance!

[Ralteman]

dude u got it all wrong...the part when u play both the chord and the plucking at the same time is not it..the plucking comes slightly before the chord hammers on

[kentokanazawa]

not really wrong, i think its just the beginning rhythm.

[tzcxgfyt]

who cares

[turbosolan]

Yes! Ralteman is right! I can play this song, and this guy plays it wrong...

[colbertnation982]

its better then you can play it

[Andorably]

hey cappi666! ur a really good player, but this seems to be your only guitar cover. Upload some new stuff, I would personally love to check them out : )

[MusCabINi]

great job!!! a little fast, but no big deal.

your tutorials have helped me SO much! I am ussually, to impatient to take time to learn somgs like these, but yu made it easy for me. Thanks a ton!!!

[ledhead213]

slow it down brah! otherwise good

[spybarn]

This is really great! i´m trying to learn this song right now and your tutorials have really helped. Thanks for making it easier! ^-^

[5handz]

this guy is so incredible.. me im a hot headed guy im not capable teaching and im really not good at it, but with his tutorial helps me to be patient ^_^

great job man impressed

[wilfredisback]

A bit fast - but really really amazing.

Im currently following your impressive tutorials and cant wait to play as well as you!

Keep it up (y)

[fishingtrojan]

awsome man thanks for teaching this song

[rufycappellodipaglia]

too fast!!! where's the interpretation??

[darthruune]

too fast, but still very impressive.

[meangreen4321]

Very well played technically, but musically lacking rhythm.

[alfalfasprout69]

thats amazing dude... awesome rendition!!! 5/5

[Denmaaan]

yeah good work, the tutorial vids helped loads ta, but like Ghiltzisme (2 months ago) said be gentle with it, its not a race!... but that was posted 2 months ago so you probably nail it now, fair one matey keep it up.

[pissoff456]

yeah it is too fast but the his video on how to play the song is really good

[shnap012]

slow it down a little bit!

[byveris]

the bass line is wrong, but good work on the hole song :]

[Duryodhana]

Song name????

Btw. beautifull played buddy :)

[Kusmanex]

I think it's only Drifting...

[Jboogiemusic]

"Drifting"

[johnzenluke]

watch mine.. :)

[danwatson4556]

thats a beautiful guitar

[toad182]

muito bom, só o tempo que realmente ficou muito fora, rápido demais em algumas partes e lento demais em outras...

mas ficou bem mais legal do alguns outros covers q vi por aqui...

[skidood7393]

mann thats brilliant

[dvdcobrador]

lol you go so fast, is more slowly the song sometimes you go so faster. and you have to type more good your fingers, it sounds bad. but good job to learn the song.

[Angealolo]

what is a Groovetubes Fatfinger?

[tensago]

Is it a medical condition that some bassist get if they dont warm up?!

[gtrtuben]

a clamp that you put on the headstock to increase the mass of the guitar; and therefore, the sustain

[h4ngwak]

just need the timing of the chords and the tapping right and it will be great!

also if you use something other than a mic or change the mic placement that would help the thin sound

[skiba13]

está errado o tempo, idiota!!

cade a noção ritmica?

[laaarsas]

good but you're timing the bar chords wrong during the first part after the intro

[MrManson94]

omg =O

you've got some skillz right there ^^

[Ghiltzisme]

nice work but be a more gentle. your doing things too fast and your losing a little rhythm. but you did a great job

[niclashbg]

that is just FUCKING SICK!! 5 stars from sweden

[webinz123]

awesome

[roytek444]

beautiful guitar...great job...andy mckee is very difficulf for do his cover...learn nakagawa san!!!!!! XD

[JoJo72X]

Great playing. Perhaps tone needs a little compression to pick out some of those softer notes? Good work fella!

[FalseSympathy]

It was a little fast, but otherwise great job :) Just slow it down a mite :D You have a real talent there, sir :) Keep up the great work!

[LedZeppelinPage]

wow great work, so aweome

[HerzH]

That, Sir.

Was amazingly epic
