nice



[th3onslaught]

nicely done man!

[roylandyard]

i just bought the tabs and wooooooow it's so difficult to bar the 12th fret....

[mikegurnham]

Great cover! You are talented man, I like it a lot. And nice guitar too...I just picked up a new Simon and Patrick a few days ago...they are awesome!

[Elviolli]

@mikegurnham Thanks Mike. I appreciate it. I wasn't too fond of my guitar until I had it set up properly. It's still a little stiff but hey, that's what I get for not having a $2000 guitar :) Thanks for the kind words!

[mikegurnham]

@Elviolli haha yeah, a setup makes all the difference eh?? I only got mine about a week ago and actually the factory setup is almost perfect...going to play it for a month or two and take it in for some minor adjustments. But they sure are nice guitars. And made in Canada too! ;)

[ZachsBack17]

sounds very good, where did you find the tabs bcuz all the ones I find are wrong

[beghilhorst]

That sounded well, it does seem like a relatively easy Andy Mckee song to learn.

I bought some tabs two days ago, including this one, but I started off with the hard stuff :) (Ebon Coast and Common Ground) .. maybe this one first perhaps ;)

[HandiAce]

Cool. Nocturne I believe is in the same tuning. No wonder they sound go good back to back!

[TheGandtheK]

It has something to do with Metroid, doesn't?

I tried to learn this song, but the tuning kept breaking my G string... I lost 4 of them i think. Then i just changed the tuning ,rised the song 1 semitone above and changed 1 string's fingers positions, and now it's ok. =)

[Twiggyassassin]

dude. that was an excellent cover!!! great job! thanks for posting it. u should try some other covers of andy if u dont already have some. again, excellent, and btw nice setup in the back! lol

[btnheazy03]

very nice!!!

[miraan786]

man what a lovely song and one of your 5th or 6th strings was out of tune!! fuckup.

but you played it very nicely...loved it!

:P

[radgemasterben]

smart arse haha

[btnheazy03]

sounds fine to me

[Hobejo]

what guitar do you use? it's looks nice

[J78Kio]

goddam im jealous, that was very good bravo

[iloveapplesyumm]

well done, his music is difficult to play!

[bahed1]

Does anybody know the name for that tuning ?

C G Eb F Bb D = C minor 11th ??

[smith77777777]

Andy Mckee once said that he likes to take the notes of a chord and tune to his guitar to them notes or alter them in his way.

[CaptainTakahiro]

very nice

[HoorayForBeets]

Well done man, that was really good.

[joelw]

Really good cover of the song man. I too am trying to learn this song (cuz I already learnt Nocturne and dont wanna change the tuning on my acoustic lol). Is there any particular tab sheet that you used?

[Marooned010]

Would you say this was hard to learn? Because I kind of want to learn it..... I can play drifting and for my father those are the two easiest I know.

[Elviolli]

Actually, this was the second one I learned cause it seemed easy looking at the tabs. It's one of the less complicated ones for sure. Give it a go! It has the same tuning as Nocturne too if you want to learn that one...although I haven't yet.

[redrum12]

very good, well done

[jeesh123]

is this song related to metroid coz after getting the album and seeing the title i was like HUH METROID?!?!

yeh sorry good cover! :)

[Raziel555666]

yeah i think so. In his myspace he names Nintendo as one of his musical influences. Kinda trippy huh?

[jeesh123]

lol

[L0wps]

fantastic! i love this song. wish i could play it.. but the tabs are so expensive and come in groups of 4... and they purposefully spliced them so that popular songs are mixed with nonpopular ones... darn candyrat.

really, amazing job with the cover. and nice guitar

[phillipjacowski]

well done

[Brendanthepimpshit]

Fantastic cover man

[Doky]

really good actually

[OklahomaRed]

Wow dude. That is very impressive. What kind of guitar do you play?

P.S. Maybe it's just me, but you look like Eric Clapton.

[Elviolli]

It's a Simon & Patrick Luthier

[b1u3c1ph3r]

Which are really nice guitars for the price btw.

[Razorsharp87]

I love the way you play this song. Really good!

[blazian88]

Hey I agree with the buying the tabs for Andy, but they sell the tabs in groups of 4 and i only want one tab. This one. And even if I were too buy them the other tabs that come with the song are songs I don't really care about, I mean if i could mix and match the song tabs with the tabs i wanted to learn that would be good. So I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm willing to pay for the tab samus stardrive but not for the other three songs because I only want to learn samus stardrive ^^;;.

[killswitchmike]

pure brilliance. very well played.

[lookihavenewsn]

where do i buy these tabs?

[Elviolli]

Candyrat Records.  Google that stuff!

[bigmasterman]

i bought the tabs.. stop beggin. the only thing icant figure out is the tuning. its so hard to tune to what it is.. ARGH

[BigBroMike]

nice cover dude!

[Ramosu]

yea, but i was disappointed to find out that you have to pay for it. doesn't anyone have this tab and is gracious enough to send it? i'm not trying to cheat here but $20...

[thepagesaretorn]

quit guitar cheapskate.

[wappadudu]

Actually, givin' you the tabs wouldn't be gracious at all... That'd be like cheatin Andy, and he deffo deserves the money. He edited the tabs himslef... BUY the damn tabs

[yoweigh]

McKee has tablature avalable at

candyrat[dot]com[slash]artists­[slash]andymckee/

[Ramosu]

i second that request please

[bobbynogo]

could you please write out a guitar tab for this?

[Ramosu]

i second this opinion

[gauthierd]

excellent work my man. I love this song its one o' my favorites

[JBurneo]

i like it, you have the feeling

[magster65]

Nice work Jack :)

[Jornibo]

If I didn't see this video I wouldn't know it's not Andy

[balogie]

[balogie]

wow great job man....wots the tuneing for this 1

[Elviolli]

C G Eb F Bb D

[balogie]

thanks alot il give it a go

[Elviolli]

It's funny you should say that because I never really gave the acoustic guitar a real shot until November/December but I guess rhythm is rhythm. Thanks for the kind words, mate!

[k00lguy202]

You're probably the best cover artist for andy so far that i've seen on you tube. Everyone else has no idea how to work their rhythm quite like he does yet except you. Not puttin them down but they aren't as experienced as you.

[kg207]

Well done. You have the guts and determnination to post a video of yourself on You Tube. Nice playing.I must try this sometime.

[MoonlightShadowlolz]

great
