"Song for the Boys" - Pat Metheny (Cover by Andrew Kesler)

[sfreddy]

LOVELY!

[monscream]

Great. This is a really difficult song, and you did it very well. Amazing.

[acbulgin2]

This is very fine! Keep doing as much "for the boys" as you can! ;-)

[dlealvilla]

with what strings did you replace the two middle as you said in the vid description?

[bassoomash]

Great playing man! I was wondering what's the preamp that you use?

[UtauReni]

You blow me awaaaaay

[GuitarAddict3d]

It's great to see how much fun you have playing this. It's quite a special piece. Thanks for sharing this!

Kind regards, Josh

[veeshead]

Really nice! Your tuning isn't true Nashville though. It IS the tuning Pat Metheny used on the One Quiet Night(but on a baritone guitar) album but it is modified from actual Nashville tuning which is E A D G all tuned up an octave and E B same as normal. It is like a twelve string with the 6 normal strings removed. Fantastic job though!

[cmsquared63]

This is all fine and good but....can you play "Stairway?"

KIDDING!! You're KILLING me with this talent Andrew!! I've been watching your videos for the past couple of HOURS and I am totally gobsmacked.

You could at least make it look like what you're playing is hard--just so the rest of us can feel better about our skills!

[AndrewKesler]

@cmsquared63 Haha thanks so much. Well, next time I'll make the strumming look more difficult :)

[staarshineee]

Your eyebrows pretty much MAKE this video. Oh, your guitar playing is pretty cool too. haha (:

[trevororrell]

Fantastic!!

Enjoyed this very much.

[MrTableTenis]

wuts the tuning u use? lzzz let me knoeee thank you!! GREAT PLAYING!

[Tony2Kesler]

I think the pickup is a Seymour Duncan "Acoustic Tube" pickup ordered from Stew-Mac....t2k

[smerrigan]

Chord voicings for this tune? Excellent work...the very beginning riff sounds like this tune Lindsay Buckingham did called its not too late

[methenybestfan]

Very well done man. We can see you enjoy it. This is one of my favorite

[BearDarkbay]

wow.really inspiring!iv never seen someone play guitar with such vigor!!the best thing was that you looked like you were having a great time so i had a great time watchin it!!thanks man!!

[bproudman]

This is just amazingly great!

You're really talented!

[BarbeeAnne]

Your talent just doesn't stop!!!! Fantastic. In addition to the fact thart your skills are out of this world, you are very photogenic and have great stage presence...amazing for someone as young as you are!!! I am sure you are going to be a star very, very soon!

[2nnumuss]

I still can´t get rid of this:D I love this song so much, and this guitar makes so awesome voice :D I´m sorry, I just love, love, love it! :D Heh, I listen this song every day because it´s making me happy :D

Again, Anna ;)

[pranxter08]

This is great! I also play acoustic guitar! I don't take lessons though, I learn and play by ear. It's a fun thing to do when your bored, right!? hah. Can you play or like sing a song from like the Beatles? THAT WOULD BE AWESOME! Thanks SOO much!!!!! 5/5 and subbed!

[AndrewKesler]

Well who knows. Maybe a Beatles tune or 2 will creep in to one of my videos one day ...

[2nnumuss]

This is really good song and you you play too really great! My brother watched you playing a guitar then he said right way that you are left-handed because he is playing a guitar too about 6 years now :) I really enjoyed it, thanks! :)

/Anna (From Estonia) ;)

[AndrewKesler]

Haha, well your brother is very observant! Thanks a lot, I'm glad you liked it! I think I know someone else from Estonia... but I wonder who...

[2nnumuss]

Yes he is:) i thank you for grating so beautiful music that i can listen:D Maybe you know my boyfriend he´s Acc is VIDEOStuudio :) You are his idol, atleast he told me so:)

[Doud92]

This baby sounds well for a $10 guitar!

[imaginarytube]

very very nice my man! keep it up.

[lalalalexa734]

Amazing, as always. I hope things are fantastic in your neck of the woods! You should definitely play more acoustic stuff - I mean, don't get me wrong, I love when you play electric guitar, but there's just something about a boy with an acoustic guitar that makes my heart melt, lol.

[AndrewKesler]

Haha yeah, I hear that all the time (about girls liking acoustic guitar). I do love the acoustic guitar, and I'm not the type of guy who sits and plays "Wonderwall" in the park to pick up girls. I've also recorded an acoustic arrangement of "Don't Know Why". If you PM me your email I could send it to you.

Thanks again for watching and supporting! You truly are awesome!

[tiansebas]

You're very good man. Why don't you do some "how to" vids or tutorials to help us amateur players? some harmony picking excercise that have worked for you etc. Keep up the good music and specially that great vibe man.

[tanjamirzai]

ur really cute!

[SpectorG]

Well, that was gorgeous. I love your style. I can't wait to see more!

[jibcraip]

VERY COOL Harmonies !!! =) I love the mood of this song Thanks for sharing your talent Andrew ! You're the man !

[thomasdosborneii]

I love Pat Metheny and I loved your playing of that song. You continue to amaze! I'm already a subscriber, and for sure am looking forward to what you will be producing in the coming year.

[murry537]

holy cow that's mixed bass heavy. good job though.

[danielolaf87]

what are you grinning at?? stop making funny faces... it's a serious song, Drew :D

[AndrewKesler]

Sorry Dan, sometimes my carefree personality just comes out at the most inappropriate times lol.

[chelseykwok88]

You play so well. This was amazingly well done, but it wasn't only your skill level that stunned me. You can be the best guitar player in the world, but with no charisma, you're nothing... but in this song, you can totally see in this video that you love the song a lot, that that you're connected and so passionate in the piece. It really comes through with your playing as well.

Haha and really? Experimenting with Final Cut there? :P

Love CC <3

It was sick :)

[AndrewKesler]

Thanks a lot! Well after doing a lot of these videos, I noticed I have quite a prominent "guitar face" which is not always that flattering, and when you're playing a song with a camera right in front of you, you become a little more conscious of what you're doing when you play. So there was a bit of an effort for me to replace my normal guitar faces with smiling haha.

And yes, Final Cut is too much fun. Soooo much to learn lol

[chelseykwok88]

@AndrewKesler

Haha well, I find then when I play guitar, I just look weird and I completely get lost in the music anyways, so... :P

You have this cute natural eyebrow twitch when you do some any sort of trill...

Just do whatever comes naturally. It doesn't matter if you look weird.. it'll just shows that you love it, which is better :D

...and I love how I give advice and I don't use it myself :P

That smile of yours is contagious by the way... :D

[john26051993]

i looked at a few of your other videos and ur really good at most things but also ur good at editing ur videos what do u use to edit them, thanks!!

john26051993

[foreveryoung1901]

you're freaking talented and adorable! :P

[andrea4009]

great, well done!!

[metallic219]

awesome!

[traanncce]

ha ha ha ha 1:30 you felt that chord change!

[AndrewKesler]

You mean you didn't? lol

[mistermax972]

All these are good and great music but... Did you already thought about a melody or a singer for your compo. ?

[qwertyzz7]

You were right about that nashville tuning. It gave a really nice ring to all the chords and made the harmonics of the chords so sweet sounding. Almost like a light yellow flowing across verdent fields. That was a clutch decision man, uber clutch.

[bordonthestreet]

Damn that is one fun tune!

[marilyndarlingshow]

beautiful your so passionate about your music i love it keep up the good work

[bordonthestreet]

lightning fast; unfortunately.
