Andy Mckee plays Rylynn at the Topeka Library

[baldassare01]

How did he lose weight? I don't suppose it was mere diet and exercise.

[AIvaroooo]

@baldassare01 have you seen how he plays guitar? He can do anything.

[photoxloan]

man, I wish those guitars beside him is in my room right now.

[TheThirdPope]

@photoxloan I have had the pleasure to hold a few of his guitars (while they were in their cases). They were his two newer Guitars and not these ones. My brother and I gave him a ride to his hotel once after a concert, and while he road in the front seat I carried one of the cases on my lap.

[trewdab3]

@TheThirdPope So is he a pretty legit guy? I'm keeping my fingers crossed that he's not a douche bag in real life like so many other talented musicians.... *COUGH* john mayer

[TheThirdPope]

@trewdab3 Yeah he is a very down to earth guy. He lives in the same town as I do and was teaching guitar at a local music store when I started taking lessons. Unfortunately I took lessons at another local music store. Great guy though. Very humble and easy to get along with.

[codey40475]

this man is a guitar god. enough said. if anyone has tabs for this song, let me know

[bobcyclo]

@codey40475 Come on dude....go on his website and pay for them!! Such a nice piece of music deserves it.....

[mrtnsglpikr]

tough act to follow nick..

[misseptember]

my god this sond sooothingly beautiful to my soul and ears, what a wonderfull piece ,thank you andy

[meechoT]

noo i think he just shaved his beard and grew some hair.

[iheartyouchristy]

dang andy got skinny

[xxArmaniAttackxx]

im 14 , and Andy Mckee is my insperation , he has such emotion when he plays .

Im also trying to get my parents to buy his music tabs off the internet so i can learn this buetifull song,

[platerplane]

i strongly reccomend u learn by hearing and not reading a tab.

It's more easy learning to play any song if u first learn some musical theory, in special about guitar, such as where are the differents scales depending on key note, etc.

[MrTaylorN]

I agree with that other guy, try learning by ear and watching his videos. I would get his tunings off the internet but other than that try by ear to learn them. Once you learn them by ear and play them they are so much easier to play.

Also it is so awesome that younger kids are getting into this very sophisticated music style! When I was 14(6 years ago) I was getting into punk rock(like real punk: subhumanz, discharge, exploited exc.) it took me a while to get into this kind of music.

[timoluetk]

@MrTaylorN Well I´m 14 i listen to Death N´ Trash Metal but this is just amazing,i love it and im still listening to Metal....

[ghombostimbala]

Wow, he lost lotsa wieght.

[regnier958]

im 16 too.. and this music is badass..

[Dabirdman167]

To be "badass" is good. Do you live under a rock?

My favorite song ever btw.

[JAH0628628]

haha

when he gets into the groove, right at 0:39, I can feel my brain explode a little bit.

[phillip341]

so beautiful, why cant other teens see the beauty in music like this instead of thinking about sex all the time

[Edangles]

Because they are horny :p ahahaha. I really love this music!!!

[Rael0505]

Why are you comparing appreciating music to thinking about sex? The two are completely unrelated.

Also, for the record, I'm a teen and I'm completely obsessed with Andy Mckee lately. I'm trying to learn how to play his music myself.

[kenzman8]

ha me too man me too

[danbeman]

me three lol

[MRFRANKETTE]

I'm horny and I have a very large appreciation for Andy Mckee and Antoine Dufour, as well as Tommy Emmanuel. I am very much inspired but also discouraged by these videos

[mfgx5hf2]

fair point but i think he means why isn't he playing big places because he IS so talented; he should be playing huge venues. i totally agree, there is so much gash crap out there now with no talent it's annoying. True talent is harder to find now and Andy McKee oozes it...i love everything about him

[mahcuz]

Unfortunately, music like this doesn't appeal to the masses, or more acurately, teenagers.

[Christiannorden]

Are you kidding me? I'm 16 years old, and I love this guy.

[mahcuz]

No, I'm not kidding you. But you, my friend, are a minority. Just because you're 16 and love this guy doesn't mean every other 16 year old does.

[Rael0505]

I'm 17 and I'm completely obsessed with his music. The harmonic work at the end of this song is incredible.

[Rael0505]

I'm 17, and I'm completely obsessed with everything this guy writes. The harmonic work at the end is incredible.

[easternslavic]

I doubt he is a minority. The only 16-17 yr olds who wouldn't enjoy this are those who don't have a chance to see it. Instead most people my age are dictated by the MTV music industry in what they listen to.

[Rael0505]

Oops, posted that twice. Thought it didn't go through the first time.

[rbrtcldwll]

why is he playing at a library while talentless singers like rihanna that rely on sex appeal to sell songs perform at the biggest places

[janludvigsen]

@rbrtcldwll because the world is full of "people"..its not full of musicians or guitarists..

[ItsAJoweFish]

All the talent in the world and more could not match this

[karlkyut]

yes i agree ..

[paratodos]

it's breath taking, no matter how many times you hear this song

[birdiebarron]

I was there! 300 plus at the Topeka library.

What a gifted fella and now one of my bestest

friends! Love ya brother, Nicholas

[mbo1393]

woow

[ericlikesyou]

Wow he lost a lot of weight

[Pariah5150]

its all that cocaine

haha, kidding

[AnchoriteProductions]

Cool vid! Thanks for sharing! Five fat ones from the Derek.

[pythor2]

thanks for putting this up! Andy is a GOD. I could watch this over and over again lol...

[ramiecoffman]

Just noticed the title of this video, it is actually spelled RYLYNN. I know it is just a little thing but we are very proud of this song and Andy.

Rylynn's mom

[TheThirdPope]

Thanks for pointing that out, I don't know how I missed that. The problem has been fixed.

[ckfootballman]

@ramiecoffman I am very sorry for your loss, but i'm sure you feel very honored by andy's piece, i know i would. If i was her, i'd be smiling down on him and you, i know that much

[Drakester671]

@ramiecoffman HI ma'am I'm so sorry for your loss. Live on knowing Rylynn is watching you right now and loves you with all her angel heart. :)

[benjamintodafunk]

that was a great show-i was there, hes my old Bass Instructor-he has MAD SKILLS ON BASS too!!

[kukinney]

is he doing anything in Kansas soon? cause i live KC and i don't want to drive anywhere to far to see him. i would if i could but im only 17

[bobbything]

He played at the Bottleneck (absolutely incredible show; standing room only there) in January and I think he's touring in Europe right now. He probably won't be back for a while.

[Xerxes4242]

He's up in Edmonton with Don Ross in August, so he'll probably be playing some American shows too

[Benja123456]

I just love this piece ! Very emotional !!!

[beano090]

im going to see him when he cums to ireland!!! YAY!

[filipeguitar16]

so am i:D cept northern ireland in belfast :)

[madFawkes]

So do I when he's in austria with Don Ross

[Panserborne1]

Good god bean use proper spelling! That's just wrong, and if you're Irish you haven't got any excuse about English being your second language.

[beano090]

shut up...why does it really make a blind bit of difference to you if i spell right or wrong?!fool

[goldenfinger2000]

Obviously, Panswerborne1 was pointing out the fact that you said something in a sexual way.

the slang "cum" means semen/sperm.

so... spelling really does make a big difference.

[jengraham890]

Yeah, i went to that. Andy mckee was amazing.

[6ixstringed]

Topeka is his hometown isn't it? Thanks for sharing this!

[scrubmacdub]

yep, topeka's proudest export along with those "god hates fags" nutters

[6ixstringed]

lol! I actually saw a documentary on those 'nutters' a few weeks ago, OMFG!!!

But Andy compensates :)

[Imputa]

meh, nobody here likes them anyway.  besides they're about to lose their little "post".

[mattmosher96]

how cool
