Ray Montford Group - The Healing

[crashart69]

i hate the fact that bieber gets 1000x the number of views in a couple months and this gets only 60000 in over a year now

[kmontford1]

fingers w/ divine guidance......no words required!! BTW my maiden name is Montford....my father hails from Chattahochee, FL (panhandle of FL) area.......are you possibly a distant relation?

[fredddyoh]

Anyone know what kind of pedal he uses to get that backround percussion sound?

[Made4EvilUsed4Good]

@fredddyoh i THINK he's using a digital metronome....you're talking about that digital percussion sound right?...if not..please disregard this comment :]

[fredddyoh]

@Made4EvilUsed4Good thanks!

[LPSGRGES]

I love the chemistry in this band. :) Particularly between Ray and the drummer in this song.

[Ev1on]

the world stoped 5 mins cuz of this song . . . 

[snk07]

Brillant...

[moonshack965]

some Sergio Leone spaghetti western soundtrack......wonderful.....­..

[xXPredraGXx]

its like the edge got along with a 19th century metronome.

[Sascha1900]

Goosebumps!

[iVanHalen666]

It's so damn funny how the bassist moves @ 3:51 but don't get me wrong I love these three... minimalistic whatever you want to call it rock... oh I adore this stuff.

[SoBS444]

I dind't know ! Walter White is a drummer ? (from Breaking bad)

[whitmanzwicker]

NIce drumming, Mr. Gary Craig

[newidenityguitarizt]

what kinda reverb pedal is he using?? anyone know? love the tone..

[leisititine1]

J'adore!!!!

[jtjjbannie]

Who needs vocals when guitar masters are at work?

[LifeOfChords]

amazing, breathtaking,absolutely love these guys

[HOUCEMATE]

I love this, very soothing :)

[seamstobe]

Thanks guys that was a wonderful healing. What a fantastic sound you have and much appreciate the sharing with us all. : D

[NHBluesMan]

i'd love to get a look at his pedalboard, he's got such SWEET tone!

[jtjjbannie]

This makes me feel like a spirit or vapor floating across the desert, just checking things out...

There is a reason this is on my favorites....

[dombihary]

anyone know where i can find backing tracks like the one he uses? 

[hip142]

@dombihary theyre not backing tracks mate

[gertrudesbiz]

Thanks so much. We all look forward to many more. I just may quit my job and go into listening to your music full time!

[yagapayanata]

wow.. superb build up!!

[xtro181]

Wonderful! Thanks so much for the share. This was my first, but certainly my last listen of this talented guitarist musician. Could anyone perhaps recommend an album as a first purchase? Many thanks!

[plattawabbe]

@xtro181 I'll assume you meant it WON'T be your last listen. :O

My favourite albums are A Fragile Balance (which this is off of) and Shed Your Skin. I can't really say which is better, they are both equally mindblowing

[liquidribs]

rpoland you have good taste of music. Have been listening to your uploads since the andy mckee upload haha. Very few people take the effort to produce quality recordings like yours. nice man :)

[pelikano83]

Exelente sonido , exlelente compocision y exelente interpretacionion. ¡¡¡¡CONGRATULATION!!!!.

[pelikano83]

Exelente sonido , exlelente compocision y exelente interpretacionion. ¡¡¡¡CONGRATULATION!!!!.

[jlm3213]

I messed up my songs on my ipod and this was the only one that worked, didnt realize before i went to work.. Had this on repeat for 8 hours and still didnt get sick of it! True Story

[THOUGHTFULTIMES]

can someone please please please give me some more bands that sound like this this is the kinda music i live for :)

[tehpeasant]

@THOUGHTFULTIMES maybe something like progressive/art/Psychedelic Rock bands

[salm37]

@tehpeasant  like Pink Floyd

[gvarundgr8]

i often see people commenting and laughing at his way of rocking to the music...but i think it really shows how intensely he is immersed in his music..he doesnt give a damn to all those people who laugh at him...

he is really a genius!

[slevin881]

precision melodies > speed & difficulty

[mmfilmsproductions]

goose bubbles

[djeshelman]

maklebizuzu nailed it- that's feel good music right there. There's something special in the simplicity and heart of this! I love it!

[dougger42]

Frikkin sweet. So that's a Jeff Beck signature Strat he's playing?

[TheFlaffyfloo]

That truly was a Healing to the emotional problems that I am facing now.

[nx20007]

oh god i love this song..

[craigpierre]

Other bands that sound like this, i need some more!

[betterway2]

SUBLIME !!!!

<3 ,<3 :)))

[bobtequila]

Jeff BEck signature 

[Guitarradoalem]

Great sound man! I like when someone talented uses the strat that way.

[MelleB90]

This is the same drummer as the one in Gregory Hoskins' video, with the ghost third drumstick leg ;)

[Shakramelima]

do you use delay, right? which one?

[ProcureEminence]

Simply amazing!

[onlinerecords]

I live for music like this...

[Burnroses]

this is not music!! THIS IS THE HEAVEN!!! THANK YOU!!!

[fairbecca1]

Tasty!

[maklebizu]

I forgot all my problems during 5 minutes

[Twistd3]

@maklebizu couldnt of said it better myself.

Music be my church, now and forever.

Thanks to the artists for sharing.

[marcamhalo]

@maklebizu me too!

[macalward]

YouTube needs a 2 thumbs up button, so I can give this TWO THUMBS UP!

[alexyclara]

You dy the graces for these videoes, because they are spectacular

[dec200269]

Thank you for sharing this wonderful music. The song gave me goosebumps. Very enjoyable.

[irvas79]

Love it!

[aspirez17]

of course there is a melody...i think what my friend bleneglapo means is that the melody is forgettable

[Landmarkmoon]

what kind of crazy asshole pressed dislike I have no idea

[Khabaros]

great

[rootvalue]

I love the way the light reflects off Ray's fretboard at 3:17 and onward as he moves with the groove. Ah, American Stratocasters... nothing like them.

[TheGrassisnice]

great music love the feeling i get from you three guys playing great climax when drums came in perfect .Lad's come to ireland and i will pay to watch you guys .

[dmitrit81]

~ good music, thanks!

[monkeynuts19]

I think this was quite boring. I didn't really enjoy it. I got sleepy. :( I think that the emotion they put in is good though :)

[JackMCjacky]

IMO something's missing.... Don't get me wrong I like it but I think something like Bono's voice would really go well in this...

[Zhunezhen]

@JackMCjacky Smoke some weed and listen again. If won't understand - smoke and listen and again...

[jtjjbannie]

Wow! That was good!

Sounds like something that should be heard while driving thru the desert.

[JazzmanJeff]

What a great sound and rhythm! Really enjoyed this.-Jazzman Jeff

[drumming2hell]

I think this is one of the best songs they have ever made.

[i1killed2god3]

This is probably way up there on my personal fave's in songs.

[mmxcrono]

I could listen to them all day.

[bb06130]

Great stuff man. Subtle and powerful. Love it. Very original.

[Cnsniv]

Has a kind of post rock feel to it. Definitely no EITS though

[BlenegLapo]

how dull. 5 minutes of playing with no melody at all.

I almost fell asleep

[i1killed2god3]

@BlenegLapo Well maybe if you had a taste in music you would liven up more.

[BlenegLapo]

@i1killed2god3

lol... so candyrat is tasteless music?

[bmxbmx94]

@BlenegLapo how the fuck can you not hear the molody in this?! are you tone-deaf?

no offence, i just wonder how a person can listen to beautiful music and just dont get it... and one more thing, why did you listen to the whole song if you didnt like it?

[BlenegLapo]

@bmxbmx94 I allways finish things thru, and to me it sound like taps and chord riffs, but i'll have to say this just isnt my style.

In regards to the personal attacking.....are you a child?

Im a musician myself and know a bit about composing, and this lacks in structure, climax and originallity to be an exellent listen. But then again, i usually listen to more technically advanced music than this.

and so i dont offend you...IMHO.

[bmxbmx94]

@BlenegLapo I am not a child, I am a musician too. In fact i make a living making music.

Why didn't you write that as your first comment? The only reason i replyed to you was that your argument was invalid, as there is melody in this song.

[SirJustin16]

@bmxbmx94 i have to agree with you man

this song my not be the most complex to play, but man. listen to it, its all about the vibe it gives and the huge buildups and all the effects.

[mycharoony]

well when he finally lifted his head from his guitar i can see its not "the Edge" (fuckin stooopid name), but this still is nothin' thats on this channel , quite borin, sounds like a really really really long intro to a generic song

[Blaze25z]

Just wow guys... That was extraordinary! Loved it..!

[TWinterMusic]

Check out my music channel.

Uploading new fingerstyle guitar originals soon, so subscribe to keep posted!

[MartinLikeCrazy]

LOVE IT! almost brought a tear to my eye! :'D

[alno1]

Great song!

[salah580]

It is just the beginning of the video "at 0:47" but I cannot wait to say that I like the taste of this musician!

REALY GREAT!

THANKS RPOLAND!

[ibhendi]

is there a tab ?

[mdp8989]

Blue Man Group, anyone? very nice though

[paulrussell]

very nice, lovely build

[tanreid]

Is this standard tuning or what?

[maxiJaz1979]

five minutes well spent...

Thank you !

[Khabaros]

@maxiJaz1979 Agreed : )

[BoiProb]

Fabulous , Wonderful !

[pontepolentepontepi]

Beautiful !!!

[feracat07]

Don't why but I found it boring

[Oliy92466]

An enchanting performance:)

Olga.

[GreatGonzoMusic]

Mark Knopfler - esque?

[jgivler]

nice!

[metalmader]

whats with all the lunges :D

[lovelife757]

@metalmader He's feeling it real good

[Zobartan]

Gary Craig has a very special muscle near his elbow.. must be the byproduct of his playing the drum over the years. Can be seen at different times in the video. 3:18 etc

[tman916x]

@Zobartan jeez who notices that lol?

[FlabberFlob]

@Zobartan

that ain't from drumming... ¬¬

[Dremth]

Very soothing song

[djentangle]

love it, it feels like this song has healed a bit of my soul....

[SammyBoy328]

I'm sorry, but despite how much i love everything that comes out of candyrat records. That was really boring.

[jh4124]

@SammyBoy328

Totally agree. wow a C#min - B - A progression with some delay

pffft

[rootvalue]

@jh4124 Sarcasm?

[jh4124]

@rootvalue unfortunately, no. Compared to most of the other songs posted by the label, this is entirely uninteresting.

[scotty1269]

love the build up, this is a great track, I would love to put some of my spoken word over it, but its great with out words. This is the type of music that is struggling to survive.Thanks and keep doin what your doin, a dying breed of truth for sure!!

[Ceahorse]

I really like this. Its nice to see music stand alone safely without lyrics. However, there are a few long hums where I itch to hear a worked scale. That rocking it also quite rocking!

[mrsdelirium]

Taste of this song is revealed gradually and long lasting...

[MrLasers12]

Wow I love this !!! I am Going to buy it !!

[freakmagicmusic]

Wow, his guitar tone is so beautiful. This song and sound takes me to a very nice place, Awesome !!

[yop88]

awesome!!!!

[EasyRider7610]

This song touches my heart! Really appreciate this kind of music, it makes me feel like everything in the world is in harmony!

Peace!

[MatthijsDH]

There's a really high squeeking sound, especially at around 3:40. Can anyone else hear it? For a moment i thought there were mice in my room!

[ctjbonner]

@MatthijsDH YEa if you tune in really close you can hear a very high pitched squeak i think its a the harmonic coming off the repetitive note he keeps strumming in the low E string

[ctjbonner]

[Grrrstin]

love it!

[AVdenz]

I like the dynamics the whole piece (music) had when full drums gone in past halfway in the music.

[Satrianidream]

The Edge?? anyone else see this?

[VeritasAlienari]

@Satrianidream That's exactly who I thought he was... I had to read it twice, three times, or more saying, "Who the hell is this again?"

Now, I don't care how much he looks like another guy. He's individually outstanding, wouldn't you agree?

[FrancisGlynn]

@Satrianidream yeah totally! : )

[harands]

@Satrianidream yeah, but The Edge has way more pedals! x]

[p1eterp0st]

@Satrianidream yea he was the first one that came up in my mind

[psps3psn]

@Satrianidream i was about to post that

[mycharoony]

@Satrianidream thats the EXACT same thing i just said when i opened this..... would lose a lot of respect for candyrat if he got on this record company

[MelleB90]

@Satrianidream I see the looks, I see skills that blow the Edge's out of the water.

[mmfilmsproductions]

wonderful

[snakeweirdo]

Quite Pink Floydish...

[frederickforlife]

Great  track.

[bespeco1]

The technique the bassist is using, creates a sound reminiscent to the Tabla to my ear. Very cool.

[Guitarmate24]

i was spellbound for 5 min.

just amazing!

[StickManga]

the bassist is very good

[Rexicano]

Wow, you got a quote from Egoyan?

Maybe he can use some of this in his next film.

Egoyan used to play guitar himself and is one of my fav directors.

The only thing wrong with his films is my music isn't in them...ha.

[ManniMann1986]

kind of reminds me of U2

[Badmacstone]

Damn good. Best Song.

[MaverickJack66]

fantastic song, but I must ask... is the other guitarist contributing at all? I really can't hear him at all - but as I said, great song :D

[EssalGuitar]

The other "guitarist" is in fact a bassist, and plays rather deep notes, but oh yeah, he's contributing ;)

[Kedo2]

vou ! AWSOME ! ! !

[SuperWilliamOld]

lovely tone.. some bits remind me the pink floyd songwriting

[SkullProduction]

The way this guy plays his pedal board is worth listening to.

[jamesabrush]

LOVE the guitar tones... A great display of musical maturity. Very well put together.

[stodd32]

awsome music

[TheMrRevell]

I really like his Strat.

Very good flowing music.

[knut005]

I kinda don't understand this song to the fullest.

well, it's pretty, but am i the only one thinking this is a kinda boring song ?

[memorieslive]

@knut005 You're not the only one ;). The style feels very minimalist to me...that's not always boring.

[GuitarDomen]

I love this guys :)

[Zobartan]

I wish I could with them :)

[Zobartan]

@Zobartan I mean I wish I could play with them..

[shawnmortensenkansas]

Very cool

[pear500]

Incredible! I love this track, it's flowing, dynamic, and very relaxing but still moving. I'm feeling some Gilmore vibes, actually - I wonder if he's one of Ray Montford's influences.

[bajsface2]

amazing

[m1ndz00]

Bravo - sounds great!

[Masterhasethomas]

nice music....

[MitchPennell]

I've got a stats midterm in 5 hours and i thought this might be a good way to be distracted but it quickly became an amazing way to be distracted. noice, very noice.

[disciplemyst]

this is the best thing to come out of this channel in a long time. i love everything else too but this sets itself apart :)

[Leakim0o]

@disciplemyst agree

[MCKiran]

@disciplemyst that is a BIG call, man. there is some pretty amazing stuff on this channel.

[StariyEgorka]

Its great!!!!!

[Paninian]

This should be used as an intro to a movie or something, its so suspenseful and melodic. 5-Stars.

[pauliewaulieflimflam]

nice tune, quite timeless and mythodical

[PinkBlossomzz]

Amazing!

[BaIdChris]

WOW! I almost wish I could hear that on vinyl Great Job.

[Slashcard]

It's been a very long time since I've heard something displaying both tranquil, and rock at the same time; in such an excellent fashion.

Bravo!

[yanmingyuyu]

omg this is nice!

[matrixman609]

that tone is so refreshing to me!

[galegregory97comcast]

that was ssssoooo FFFIIINNNEEE

[mindbodylightsound10]

can anyone id the bass guitar?

[NadorsGoddess]

@mindbodylightsound10 I think that's a 60s reissue Fender J Bass... I could be mistaken, though.

[mindbodylightsound10]

@NadorsGoddess thanks for the response but it's definately not a j bass.
