It didn't even dawn on my to try and learn to play this song on the Ovation. I tried to to learn to play it with my Martin a few years back while I was in high school, but I usually keep a pretty thick gauge of strings on it, which made it difficult to learn. But the action on my Ovation is much lower, and would probably be a great way to learn it.
The only problem with the Ovation though, is that it doesn't resonate like a full bodied acoustic.
wtf is wrong with you, he did perfectly fine. I dont see you trying to cover this song, its about 10x harder then it looks...gtfo if your going to judge is long johns and the sound from a video recorder.
as said before wud really sound alot better on a better guitar. but not taking away from the playin! really is brilliant. check out mine. its a lil dif. but i played in front of a good crowd! quite nerve wrecking!!!
Your playing is awesome, and I love your guitar! BUT I think this could sound better with a real acoustic guitar! I don't say its sounds bad like this, its just my opinion. Great playing!
excellent job... even with the low sound quality you can tell that you hit this song pretty damn good. love to know where you got the tabs or if you just learned it by ear. either way, Cheers.
this is such a beautiful song by andy and i can only pray that i ever become as good at guitar as he is.. this song REALLY STRONGLY reminds me of the band "The Spill Canvas".. also a great band.. even their acoustic songs are wonderful
ovations dont suck....too bad, they're great live guitars, but don't sound too good when you're not plugged in, so they are not good acoustics for fingerstyle.
we have similar guitars, mines from 1990 though. How old is yours? ^^
Good playing man, Ovations are deep on treble and bass. My vids are the same, so i've got my amp back which im' gonna wack it all up to balance the treble/bass out more lol. Sounds much better now, so i'm gonna re-record all my vids hopefully this weekend^^
I think that if í´ll try to talk with AndyMckee it will take like 100 years and I don´t know if i´ll live long enought so if I´m asking you to much,just tell me.I strongly want to learn a little bit of the songs of Andy...but I never had a chance.Can you help me? If yes ... this is my email : wazza_ionut@yahoo dot com ( this is my messenger too ) thank you
well iv seen alot of covers of this song and frankly..... you kicked some ass my boy. great job. like AmasonK said, your timing was perfect. And you hit all the notes in the correct time they were meant to be played. well done, 5 stars. I only comment on the better Drifting covers.
I'll be a bit more constructive than Naddeliino down there. Sure, some of your harmonics sounded off, but I think you will have it down pretty damn well soon enough. One thing I was very impressed with was the fact that if you look around at all these other Andy McKee covers, the one thing they don't have that you do is the timing. So many people play much faster than how Andy does. I think it takes away from the emotion that makes Andy's music so great...so well done there :)
