[raulguitarraflamenca]

[PickerNation]

fantastic man...  instant favorite

[TheKingsolo7]

Mesmerizing!!!!

[voicelessband]

I love how everyone is playing in my town :D

[Monlighterable]

How inspiring he plays...

[xREC7x]

I used to think I was good at guitar... Nope. Chuck Te- I mean, Andy McKee.

[iCanTeachYouGuitar]

playing this song will get you so much ass.

[Paulcanplayguitar]

I've just been filled with funky island blues

[snruBynohtnA]

Is he playing some of that song with his eyes closed. 8O

[Modaea]

I seriously listen to this song like 15 times a day. I really love your music. Its beautiful.

[puppypies]

This guy has got to have beastly tough hands... some of those chords look outright uncomfy to play.

[HopyaBoy]

I hope that guitar is 18

[TheZiggyMarlon]

he has brains in his fingers

[Lockettrockett]

This should in place of Drifting on views. Learned both and this took over double the time and sounds better imo. Pretty awesome song.

[synapsii]

@Lockettrockett I agree--learned drifting in a matter of days, this song has had me raging for weeks. Drifting does look cooler I guess...

[makistudio]

Simplemente me quedé ahi, escuchando... este man es el putas, este finde me compro una guitarra (Si, estaba buscando info del shadowbox, le di click por probar... )

[Tripped11]

Co-worker introduced me to this....I picked up my guitar for the first time in about 2 years....simply inspiring.

[nordine98]

Mon Dieu v'est magnifique!!! Great!!!!

[dalorick]

Pure music OMG LOVE IT!!!!

[SarkaIrTiek]

he's not playing, he makes that guitar talk

[MrRightshot]

i know how you feel bro he gave me a carrot and to enjoy in the back (it was the worst carrot ive ever tasted)

[tallt66]

Me- Hey Andy let me play with you, I'll do the bass line!

Andy- Um, well I'm already doing that.

Me- Um, okay I'll just play rhythm then while you do lead.

Andy- Um, well actually I got those too bro.

Me- Oh... well then can I just do the percussion for ya?

Andy- Um, tell ya what, here is a coloring book, why don't you just go sit in the corner.

Me- *Forever alone*

[EvanFingerstyle2]

@tallt66 Haha! Jokes aside, Andy's actually a really cool guy, he'd probably play with you even if you played two notes and then sat back and watched the rest of the way.

[ISAACQWERTYHaYuPka]

@tallt66 hahah

[iliketorofllol]

@tallt66 why does he call you bro?

[Metallicabd4444]

@tallt66 best comment ever lolxxx

[HandreyAlex]

@tallt66 well actually he has already rearranged this piece together with don ross xD

[PeterTheEvilBastard]

@tallt66 Its not that bad, he does play with other people. When he plays with Don Ross its like three bands with just four hands.

[tallt66]

The Jedi of Guitar

[MegaMarker007]

damn !!... I just had an orgasm**

[MrRightshot]

when he sleeps his breads writes music for bono coldplay and the foo fighters

[gedeon541]

trop cool!

[SlowHandManLive]

/watch?v=RdFeivLYZ1A

[zoowirt]

he's not just musician, he's magician!

[jeagerpoelse]

with great beards comes great responsibility.

[Sergey1978RU]

I listened to in one breath ... Excellent!

[TheSynyster1996]

his music is so powerful, until it has the ability to grow hair

[cygnus53]

Absolute perfection. His guitar sounds out of this world. Such rhythm. Such talent. I'm going to go burn my guitar now.

[Davidosnakos]

Sorry for my English, I'm from czech:) You and the guitar, you're a creature:) I do not know how better to describe it. You depended on that guitar, and she depends on you:) Thank you for the beautiful music:)

[gonya33]

This song is freaking gorgeous, if only the world had more of you Mr. McKee!

[narutoancillus]

anyone noticed................... he has hair ?

[Thrillerfilms8]

i got fucked at 2:07

[TommayyFlores]

for everyone saying this vid makes them feel that their guitar skills are insignificant, these videos arent meant to discourage, theyre meant to inspire, anyone can write a beautiful song u just need passion.

[theAussieRogger]

my guitar just strummed itself out of my house..........

[DeboothOxyodious]

@theAussieRogger then fuckin chase it down and jack it off till it jizz's a song this good

[funpants827]

I love how you hear every single note that you want and expect to hear, but it's somehow not like...generic or catchy in a bad way. It's just so natural and fluent. It's music in such a true form.

[Omnilegence]

@funpants827 I noticed that as well. Every note I hear makes me wanna nod my head and exclaim "corrrect".

This is probably what catchy music originated as before it lost it's soul and devolved into the pitiful mess we see nowadays.

[frozencokes]

0.05 - 'yeah i can learn this'

0.13 - 'hmmm maybe'

0.27 - 'get fucked.'

[renjamin]

@frozencokes I lol'd. My thoughts exactly.

[ckbehnke10]

@frozencokes 2.04 - 'what was i thinking'

[morbieable]

@frozencokes Thats not so hard(= Just try it;) It sounds good even in standart tune, your friends will be surprise =)

[frozencokes]

@morbieable hehe i actually can play it, i just thought it was something many people might come across :)

[sacredgeometry]

@frozencokes its actually not that hard if you learn it slowly in bits first, theres a wonderful video tutorial on youtube here somewhere, the full thing is over 2 hours long and not that expensive. Worth it for sure.

[JohnofNub]

@frozencokes If you really want to you can learn the entire tune. We as humans can do a lot if we only stick to it regardless of what might happen :)

[LanceSaunders]

@frozencokes You can do it brotha! I'd love to see your rendition of this beautiful piece!

[nathanpatra]

47 Guitarist's just committed suicide.

[PDOpsps]

Okay. I understand i will stop thinking that im playing the guitar.

[metalbillo]

τελειοοοοο  ουαααου !!!!! :)

[joshuamilbecka]

andy mckee have changed my life

my girl friend. as you can see from my acc name becka (im josh)

loves both and i loved rap.

but she brought me to amazing musicans like andy.

when i preposed to becka i had my friend playing andy in the back ground.

so no one really knows how much music effects poeple.

[MellinFL]

anyone got tabs? lol jk.

[jmgoni]

Totally a masterpiece. I'm trying to learn it and its much harder than what it seems

[Raven2702]

@jmgoni yeah, I've finished it and it took me quite a while to play it without any major mistakes. In deed a hard song to play! Good luck learning it!^^

[MrRgrguitar]

@Raven2702 wish I could learn to play it and ive been playing over forty years, but with no schooling or training.

[Raven2702]

@MrRgrguitar Hey, I'm playing over 4 years now and I am able to play it. With a nice little tutorial its not that hard to learn. You just need some time to practice. I used the tutorial of matt301273. To get the full version you need to pay about 5 bucks or so. But its totally worth it. :)

[dysiresdeelight]

divine. this goes great with my green tea~

[sahilcc7]

@ArabianNight975

Do you not get the joke?

[robertbright777]

Dear Andy, PLEASE SHAVE YOUR HEAD AGAIN!

[GhostGuerrilla]

why does candy rat insist on uploading everything in 240

[pazzmodium]

@GhostGuerrilla It doesn't. It's just because this video is over 4 years old

[ArabianNight975]

@sahilcc7

Dude, no offence but seriously you are one of those retarded people who keep looking for minor faults in others just to show you are superior ?

He composed this song, its his arrangement. Even if the strings break halfway through it won't be a mistake, it should be included in the tab. * Break G string now*.

Plus @3:50 there is no mistake. And why the heck would you wanna point out a single mistake ( none ) at a single second out of the whole 5:25 minutes of awesomeness ? .

[renjamin]

@ArabianNight975 You need a high five my friend. /highfive.

[TheGamerboy860]

@sahilcc7 Actually, that wasn't a mistake.

[bricefos]

i used to play guitar like you but then i took a guitar string to the hand

[OmgFacePalmProd]

Those 172 dislikes are the guys who quit playing guitar xD <3 This dude is legit.

[SigneM90]

@OmgFacePalmProd So true! :-D

[ppauly]

Play me Andy

[Tripletsshoter]

@ppauly hope you are a woman! ^.^

[ppauly]

[ppauly]

@Tripletsshoter

[GhostGuerrilla]

this man is incredible and i got to shake his hand

[shenjoku]

Watching this guy live was pretty awesome. Loved this song :)

[thirdojo]

its beautiful <3

[Tripletsshoter]

lol 240p... like HD with his talent!

[MegaGandalff]

the only song of andy mckee with the EADGBE tuning..

[DominicSutton]

Andy is one of the best guitarists you'll ever see. I've been playing for over 20 years and I'd sell my soul to play acoustic like him. He's great on acoustic but don't think he can't play eclectic guitar.. check him out playing electric on this clip.

/watch?v=s7GFhgfsNI8

[LJPV777]

I used to think I was good at guitar, then I took an Andy to the Mckee

[flynnlachendro1]

@LJPV777 WOW AMAZING LOOOOL

[SaintCharmer]

@LJPV777 Okay, I hated that meme since day one of it because of this whole Skyrim fad, you have single highhandedly taken a terrible meme and made it something both funny and sensible. You sir win an internet. +1

[lullymaniac]

172 people have some serious hearing damages.

[tobto1]

so so so... many details..

[tobto1]

bravo!!!

[67chevy7]

I can really appreciate an artist who can just make so much beauty out of standard tuning.

[AFROmonkey55]

andy mckee should play his music for the Edler Scrolls series xDD id love to run through the forest and montains of Skyrim to this shit ,l..l keep rockin Mckee

[rodlav91]

172 dislikes...

There's something really wrong with people nowadays...

[chizz6]

I'm seriously considering BUYING your CD's... i've never brought a CD in my life, i've downloaded everything before, but you have created some of the best sounds i've ever listened to...

[Bookster343]

@chizz6 Do it, man! If any artist deserves your hard-earned money, it's this guy. If you really want to support this music, go see him live! I guarantee it will be one of the most amazing musical experiences you'll ever have.

[mambowman]

only thing wrong with this song is it's title. should have been called auralgasm!

[Pjhodos]

Dear Andy Mckee,

Holy shit. I feel like you deserve a thank you and a handy.

-pjhodos

[DarkSolCross]

this guy would make an amazing banjo player

[sehnsucht77]

Rob, what are the specs of this baritone?



[alfother]

Why is a Homosexual Prostitution/Anti-meth commercial on this video!?

[Tripletsshoter]

lol video seetings 240p ... he play like HD! :D

[johncraigthe2nd]

@XxLuigisMafiaxX07 its a Greenfield baritone guitar. I want one.

[bashyourshit666]

Andy this is amazing. Also I love the room you record in!

[pdeere436]

I just bought tickets to his show in San Francisco next year. I'm so excited.

[XxLuigisMafiaxX07]

Anyone know what kind of guitar that is??

[LJPV777]

This song made me pick up my guitar again. Awesome feel-good music.

[Raven2702]

@LJPV777 this song made me learn this song and play it to my ferrets!^^

[LJPV777]

@Raven2702 Farrets you say?

[Raven2702]

@LJPV777 yeah, ferrets. little animals!^^

[LJPV777]

@Raven2702 indeed...

[TheInvisibleSorbet]

He pulled off those triplets like a boss. LIKE A BOSS.

[3oks]

amazing !!

[halofreak12321]

I picked up my guitar again after listening to this piece, made me remember why i started playing in the first place, so much feeling, its perfect.

[TheIceJackal]

I think listening to this made me pregnant...and I'm a guy

[magicfly78]

@TheIceJackal loooooooooooooooooooooooool.u can change the sex.this days is posible...

[artvectors]

@TheIceJackal Mega LOL

[mikecui626]

@TheIceJackal only chuck norris could get a fag pregnant if he was gay that is

[mojjao2]

@b14cksan

just FEEL it, shit man !

[ThrillBubble]

Every guitar wants to be played by Andy McKee

[eredruin]

@ThrillBubble Mine doesn't.It's affraid that it's going to get burned by his aura of awesomeness.

[myunicorniseatingme]

@ThrillBubble Actually, a guitar would be satisfied to be next to the leash of the dog who ate the frenchfries of the man who saw the factory that made the socks that Andy wears.

[Tripletsshoter]

@ThrillBubble Fuck! my guitar is an emo..she's crying all day... *on the background* Guitar screams : ANDYY!!

[UploaderA]

@ThrillBubble Best comment i have read all year.

[mojjao2]

ereccion, orgasm, sleeping, dreaming with sex and this song with the love of my life...

eargasm again...and again..

:)

[CallMeCatastrophe918]

@hatedmaggot666 you made it? Omg how did you. I thought you were a goner. How'd you survive abortion?

[salahisation]

should i ssay something .. hell no !

[JcWongAndCompany]

So fresh.

[aaaakkkkman]

b e a u t i f u l

[oooda]

No matter how many times I listen to this, I get chills right from the very first note. I bow down to your talent Andy, I just feel ridiculously privileged to have actually discovered your songs.

[TheSakeOfGod]

The most under viewed Andy McKee video.

[headbanger2867]

I think this song would go so well as a remix. I love this song very much and every time i listen to it because it's so groovy i have to move to it. I just automatically start dancing a little. Especially since it has a little bit of Latino feel to it I think it would go good at Weddings and parties. I'm not even Latino and i know they would love it too. what do ya think

[Ra5taF4r4]

I don't know why,how to do in your mind,,but I thing so you're vey vey the best,,

[Bluejerra]

Thumbs up if you like this better than the version on Vevo.

[BeeLuvr]

@Bluejerra nope, chuck testa

[lamsos]

Today, I had an Audiorgasm ...

[johncraigthe2nd]

@lamsos yep i agree bud. Most of andys fast tempo stuff is audiorgasmic

[johncraigthe2nd]

I've made up my mind...I don't care if it doesn't come close to the way that Andy plays it, note for note, I AM GOING TO LEARN THIS SONG. As long as it's clean and solid enough that I can flow with it, I will consider it a worthwhile and satisfying achievement. But I will never be as good Andy. Keep doin what you do, Andy. \m/

[ledzeppeman]

@johncraigthe2nd You stole the words from my mind. I'm a minute in myself. 

[johncraigthe2nd]

@ledzeppeman "im a minute in myself". Huh? Im confused. What does that mean?

[ledzeppeman]

@johncraigthe2nd I know realize how unclear that was. I've learned the song one minute and twelve seconds in so far.

[54mJohnson]

day 27 and still searching for mucusringworm's comment. Food supplies are running low.

[SuperPenner12345]

he takes the guitar into the nth dimension.

[Aist3rG4teS]

Every named McKee is famous. Andy McKee, Robert McKee, McKee Mouse...

[K3sh13]

This guy can get any women!

[Abnerfingerstyle]

HOW?

He is amazing, I love it

[baretings1]

I hope this song never ends

[fossegrim91]

@baretings1 bad news for you: 5:25

[ODOSS]

170 dislike are Bieber's fans !

[eldan400]

his actually does shuts with his mid finger..........

OMFG

[Fendertastic]

@eldan400 I know right?!?! I have to double tap with my strum hand, I can't do that shit.

[Lachlanbecke999]

You're my favourite acoustic player!

[TheReverendJr]

I have a comment with 83 thumbs up... why is it not highest rated D:

[lickedhand]

@TheReverendJr

I bet it's because Youtube is good at weeding out the attention whores. It shouldn't matter whose comment is rated highest, just listen to the song.

[xXxGABR13LAxXx]

his guitar just had sex with my ears!!!



[SteadfastWarriorOG]

@Lachlanbecke999 I know you didn't say so, but if you like this tune because ladies like it when you play it, you should try to learn to appreciate this masterpiece for what it is, a profound expression in the form of art.

Not some chick magnet.

But that's just my view. Take this song for what it means to you (even if that is just a chick magnet). But know that if you haven't closed your eyes, and listened to this song simply to be absorbed by it, then you're missing out.

[thefuturevoice]

@SteadfastWarriorOG i couldnt agree more. it is simply a masterpiece. but on another note, yes it is also a chick magnet im sure ;)

[SteadfastWarriorOG]

@thefuturevoice Haha as much as i wanted to avoid saying so, yeah i can play the song. Playing guitar really well must only be a chick magnet in other countries than NZ though, cos i'm not getting any. But i get to play an awesome song, so i'm not complaining.

[The0NLYDragon]

He did it mostly with his eyes closed....

[Lachlanbecke999]

I super dig this tune... As do ladies.

[SunDance00]

170 cavemen didn´t like this sound =/

[Andy40004]

awsome!

[womanhugger]

im 13 and im playing guitar to this loving it andy

[theanhuce]

beautiful music



[Andy40004]

jhjuh



[CallMeCatastrophe918]

Um. 170 people must really suck at life.

[sirgreggins8824]

@CallMeCatastrophe918 they're bieber fans

[HatedMaggot666]

@CallMeCatastrophe918

I bet people dislike this just cause theyre sick of original comments like yours . Go die.
