Andy McKee: Innocence Faded Solo

[Aserrano11]

Wait Andy Mckee can talk?!

[AndysCoolStuff]

Its weird to see him use a pick

[ErDiEr]

FUCK YEAH! \m/

[MUDSHARK111]

that was fun .i was in a bad mood about 1.42 seconds ago 

[Ilkejentto]

ANDY THE MAN. That is all.

[KillerShark73]

Hats off to you sir. Very nice indeed.

[frankratox]

0:53 Andy make a Super Bend : D

[MrRampage85]

Dude you are my hero!!! Rylynn is my favorite acoustic tune of all time!! And now I find you playing a tune from my favorite band!! hmmmbrrrbllaahh!!! Cardiac Arrest!

[Haroldsoto]

awesome!, did you learn this by ear or tabs?

[mrwprod]

It's not Perfucci.. But sure as hell is perfect.

[MrRubberduck645]

And he can play normal! AND GOOD! COME ON!! Who do I have to kill, what planet do I have to take over, what do I have to steal or what do I need to suck, to get where this guy is at??

[kpcatcher924]

yeah, far from perfect...BULLSHIT!

[guitarded927]

I can't even describe you in words man!

[chaturga13]

electric guitar is like a toy for monster acoustic or flamenco players

[troglodita6000]

@chaturga13 Not exactly, they have different techniques that you have to practice anyway. But yeah..

[chaturga13]

@troglodita6000 i practice electric guitar and some flamenco guitar and i have to say shreed with picado tecnique is alot hard than shreed with alternate picking and sweep picking

[AlexFoeNZ]

@chaturga13 and @troglodita6000 Why bother fighting about it? both techniques are difficult in their own way. since they are divided by genre they shouldn't be compared. Flamenco is a tricky style to play but its just as difficult to play Metal. theres more to sweeping and alternate picking to Electric guitar.

[Incisionator]

Not perfect perhaps, but still very good. Awesome.

[uidsea]

Always knew he could shred

[FETA0ne]

Andy You Rock....!!!!!

[frankratox]

este weon se pasa ! no solo toca la raja la guitarra acoustica sino que tambien la electrica weon maestro!

[girjjk56]

amazing!

[lLlHARVEYlLl]

Just one BIG question, where do you tune your guitar?

[Isaacbean]

@lLlHARVEYlLl The tuning pegs are down by the base of the guitar. They make certain guitars that way because a) they look pretty sweet and b) they're easier for musicians who travel :)

[timewarpharpoon]

Andy, I know you are very busy, But did i just read recently that you did a show with with Eric Johnson and John Petrucci of DT? if so i would have pain a months salary to see the 3 of you.

[zrouth]

There's only one thing that would make this video better. At the beginning, Andy says, "...not gonna be perfect, just for fun..." After the end of this video he should pop back up and say "HAHA JUST KIDDING, THAT WAS PERFECT" and then Johnny Cage should uppercut someone's head off and it would say FLAWLESS VICTORY.

[PurdueRules15]

I think I just peed my pants.

[CygnusTheIronDream]

Wow never knew u were into DT!!!!!

[kGmusicpage]

Epic lol

[daradidam]

never diggin' this song before you played it andy.. (I'm a hardcore DT fan btw)

[SuperTrey09]

Damn dude I knew you were a beast at guitar but you can play the shit out of DT stuff too!? That's uber impressive.

[drumgroovy]

I'm watching this on the same monitor behind you. It's like Inception.

[Big88Rocker]

Wowwwwwwww...the first time I´ve seen you playing electric guitar, but I didn´t expected THAT!! Perfect solo cover of a perfect song! Amazing! :))

[TylerGillMusic]

You beheaded your guitar...

You bastard.

[absurdosturos]

Perfect. Greetings from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

[carlocki01]

but is a backing track or guitars original are down under?

[BDaMonkey]

This guy breathes the guitar. Immensely talented and humble (seriously, can't believe he said it isn't perfect!)

[hemmelight]

I never would have thought in a million years that you were a DT fan. Hell yeah!

[Billymarkz]

your the man andy,into your shit before your lyal followers ,keeper real man

[83manimal]

that was impressive i never thought you'll pull out dream theater came out of left field there lol sounded awesome all your stuff is awesome want to hear more electric guitar \m/

[casperado666]

how do you tune a guiter like that

[drumgroovy]

@casperado666 The tuners are on the bridge.

[casperado666]

@drumgroovy thanks, interesting

[drumgroovy]

@casperado666 I've played a headless bass before and tuning it was weird because I had to strum with my left hand and tune with my right.

[fuzzratafonk]

John Petrucci was your teacher??? OMG! That's Awesome!!!

[CharlyPilgrimSantana]

Was amazing see you at National Auditorium in Mexico in the Dream Theater Show, you rock!

[TheMetallicalf]

hell yea dude!!! truly an inspiration i think to all of us...you should do an album called Andy Mckee Plugged In and do only electric..its still just as enjoyable to watch you play either way.

[getupanddosomething]

lol, great job man. I hear you're opening for or at least playing with DT nowadays. Congrats!

[summitthescale]

dude holy fuck. 1:29 raped my ears.

[Taraalcar]

Hang on I thought you said it wouldn't be perfect.

[Vergucci]

Damn man!! You just such a complete guitar player. There are few like you T_T respect

[charlesandhisworld]

Awesome playing Andy! Just gotta watch the intonation on those higher notes heh. Awake is my favorite Dream Theater album by far!!

[sasc]

Dislikes? Are you serious? That was great!

[HanoobKen]

You beheaded your guitar ;(



[Eiki7]

[bulbulyator666]

[caribouhunter64]

[leo3k]

@caribouhunter64 SOPA.. =)

[mrwprod]

dat headbobbing <3

[Predator5639]

Hahha omg I love this. Andy McKee got me into guitar, but I'm so used to seeing him with acoustic stuff... I believe he started out his guitar career with electric stuff though, funny enough :P

[Oh3AreSicks]

How could you not love this?

[RockNRoller294]

andy mckee is pretty damn good at electric guitar too! he should do a G3 with satch and andy timmons!

[Capataincrunch01]

"I don't think my lead playing skills are really what they used to be."

That's crazy talk, lol.

[PicaNoBoga]

Allan Holdsworth Signature?

[KingofShred]

@PicaNoBoga nah, Steinberger GM series, prime guitars :)

[PicaNoBoga]

@KingofShred a thanks =D , but allan's play with guitar no?

[PicaNoBoga]

[Jake10229]

[Lyreat]

Hahahahaha Look his PC keyboard. Just saying . :D

[kevlebmxeur]

great!

[nighthawk584]

I not only threw my acoustic guitar out the window when I first heard Andy play Drifting, now I just threw my electric out! I HATE YOU ANDY!

[jonyboulder2]

@nighthawk584 Why? lol... Its motivating when I see this, for me at least.

[landothegreatest666]

HELL YEAH!!! ANDY CAN SHRED!

[tyoung1979]

I thought you said it wasn't gonna be perfect! That was perfect!

[immortalsoloist]

Nice! Andy never knew you were a DT fan and played electric as well :D. Nice!!!!

[narutebayo]

really good job. keep it up man



[paulsenification]

thank you for your music!!

[jockerj]

[landlord21]

Wow, am i the only one who noticed what he just did?? To heck with different styles of guitar playing! Andy is just good at the GUITAR (period).

[JoshKikta]

That was so good!!!!!!



[xxxEnterSandmanXxX]

i love Andee..but who should tell him he has no headstock?

[AlexMNet]

I love how much fun he as having! Awesome electric guitar playing!

[panelacosmica]

Andy!

Mr. Petrucci could have played this but missing your happiness...

Bye!

[dahmer09]

ANDY MCKEE **fucking rocking** with an electric? holy holy holy balzacks. I can die now.

[bluebluer444]

...............teach me master................

[dragon5x5x5]

Andy played so hard and good that one part of guitar falled down but he still keeped playing.

[jghfslk]

andy you're guitar is missing a headstock. You might want to get that checked out.

[OndskapensHersker]

You even rule on the Electric guitar...

You are a true master.

[nanodelay]

FUC*** GENIUS!!!!!!!!! you ae THE man

[ChewbaccaFetus]

this is anything but short of amazing, btw, is that Alduin at the upper right corner?

[tendonitis6870]

Damn Andy someone stole the top of your guitar !!!!! Great Job !

[DANGILBERT03]

hey men u are identically to Eric Hayser xD check it dude =)

[euro2795]

It's not gonna be perfect...Liar

[Kabunto]

Andy your clearly a master guitarist of many styles, im a big fan, just a personal suggestion, i think it might be cool if we got to see some songs with cool lead bits along with ur awesome fingerstyle :D

[rastafaris123]

Andy: It's not gonna be perfect. *plays the song and plays it perfectly. -_-

[bc2208]

So when you opened for Dream Theater and said hearing John Petrucci made you quit electric, you were just trolling?

[Marzook37]

That was really fucking good.



[MythHunter666]

Awesome guitar ;)

[ifiwereacatfish]

So much respect for him

[tboi3000]

pssh, you're lead skills aren't what they used to be!?!? WHAT DID THEY USED TO BE!?!? THAT WAS AWESOME XD you're saying you use to be better than THAT? damn, well done :D

[niahaa]

Why was i sure, while I watched playing acoustic songs, that your were a metalhead ? Here is the proof I needed !

[eraybuykor]

This is better than the original song.

[BananaFromMars]

It's not going to be perfect, but it kinda is.

[davoshred1510]

As we can see by this video, this shit is too easy for andy

[rammsterBoy]

if that wasn't perfect, for the sake of my self esteem, I don't wanna see it "perfect"

[lysterjays]

how to tune those guitar w/o headstock??? :O

[anoshinyamo]

@lysterjays You might already know, but that guitar is one of Steinberger's. They use double ballended strings, and one ballends are hooked on the nut and another is hooked in tuners on the bottom end of the bridge.

6 rounded things you see over Andy's right hand is the tuners.

[lysterjays]

@anoshinyamo waw!! amazing.

[mrbig71014]

So pretty much Andy can play just about everything... Awesome

[JAKE887]

Andy, you should do a contest where you give away A guitar, or one of YOUR guitars, it'd be my wish !!!! Pleaseeee

[TommayyFlores]

yo someone decapitated ur guitar!

[MatKiller1197]

nice what guitar is this?

[FCValle]

Andy Mckee, playing a DT distorted and heavy guitar solo, and actually picking really well oO

Your argument is completely invalid.

[MrGuitar1985]

einfach nur wahnsinn !!!!

[ironnica]

dont know how i didnt see this channel before

[junifanto]

Wow that's great Andy !!!

[TAKEMYSALAD]

Anyone else notice his guitar doesnt have a headstock??? o.o

[croth991]

@TAKEMYSALAD haha yeah XD i was like where did it go!!!

[ArtofRi0t]

OMFG!! Andy, you are the man!! :D :D :D :D

[TheTionce]

"it's not going be perfect" lol, this IS a masterpiece

[Atyriss95]

how do you tune guitars like those? im not used to seeing headless guitars and i still want to know how you tune it.

[KevinMWHM]

Yeah, but can you play smoke on the water...

[Arkthos]

Petrucci does an almost decent cover of this song.

[k0mpassi]

You probably didn't notice but that guitar is missing parts...

[Teapartyla]

His timing is superb.

[1Batt]

YOU...are inspiring! Happy Holidays Andy..thanks for taking time to share your talents with us..

[pablov11]

That's.....that's fucking awesome

[aLt8SIEM]

OMG! My favorite acoustic player covering my favorite electric guitar player's song. THANK U Andy! Now I want to see Petrucci playing for example Drifting :D

[darkinglory]

Andy McKee. Beast on Acoustic. Beast on Electric. I just quit guitar.

[Fylazi]

You Lie Andy!

[sharmasahib]

well i liked it before i watched alrdy



[WyattTheGuitarist]

As they say... it's like riding a bike...

[CheeseCakeee]

Fuck my life.

[arubame021]

i hate people that lie to you haha that was beast

[DragonFlopp]

I would have preferred to see Andy open for Dream Theater than Trivium. I'm jealous of all the people that get to see that happen.

[ManMadeGod4]

@DragonFlopp

It was great. Saw him open for Dream Theater here in Arizona.

[quantum494]

I. LOVE. YOU..........man.

[Bookster343]

What I love about Andy is the fact that he just jams out. He has to know that he's making some of the most illustrative and brilliant music of our generation (or any, for that matter), but every time I've seen him live he looks like he's having as much fun as anyone in the audience is. A real class act.

[shayneral]

Hey guys can u see the dislike bar? Great me too :)

[rayme1975]

That was amazing. Master of both acoustic and electric.

[MetallicAssault]

sounds perfect to me

[notherealslimshady]

great solo ma-

.... where the hell is the guitar head....

[amitbarfs]

JP clicked the dislike button 5 times in a fit of jealousy. :P

[1goodguitar]

Is that a steinberger guitar, if so Ive not seen one of those for a while, straight into a marshall on 10 and twist your hat on backwards, oh yeah.

[Nevermorian]

aaah, the great days of jazzy/melodic Petrucci...that was really fun to watch! :) Thank you, Mr. McKee for the reminder!

[chocobello]

it's great but can be even better if you clean your fretboard ..... lol ....... just kidding

[iPodbo9i]

well i guess if u can play an acoustic guitar with his level of precision, playing a solo on an electric guitar wouldnt be that hard...... but that was still amazing

[sam31]

not perfect!! ha come back to GuitarWar Andy!!

[SaverioGuitarHero]

mortacci sua questo mena pure con l'elettrica

[littletingoddess96]

if this isn't yu at your best, then i would have loved to have seen back in your heyday. AWESOME job btw, andy i love your music!! :D

[itti1977]

Awesome I bet John petrucci Cant play Drifting like you!

[aditya9ty]

@itti1977 I pity trolls like you who compare great musicians to garner attention. Ask Petrucci who is great and he will label Andy. Ask Andy the same and he will name John. That's what makes them great Gods and renders you a retard for that comment.

[robloxplox]

guitar master for sure

[longweekendforever19]

Man that was great. The only bad thing is that this solo is too short.

[emmetts8]

flawless victory

[roachfactory]

what are you doing with a pick?! :O

[AristotlEYE]

Show off...

[bookieboy79]

So precise. Envious of your playing, envious of your guitar, envious of your facial hair... Your lead playing was faultless. And your facial topiary is pristine. Well done sir! I look forward to seeing more of you and the Steinberger!

[TOMSGROOVES]

This was really odd for me, kinda like Superman doing the dishes. Everything I thought I knew is wrong.

[raulsuazo]

wow



[RamsesCairoC]

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[GeggeSkyline]

You are a fucking monster.

[AndreStaltz]

What was that laughter about at 0:00?

[adam872]

That was ludicrous. Andy, mate, love your acoustic playing and then you go and rock the hell out with this! What is apparent to me, though, is how brilliant that solo is to begin with. Seeing someone else play it totally confirms how great it is. That was heaps of fun to watch and listen to.

[Nimrod910]

Oh man. This is just unfair.

[mag8mag8]

F@@k you andy. you're just too good.

[JHJH007]

LOL anyone else notice the missing guitar head?

[EtherealWaves]

PROG OUT WITH YOUR COCK OUT

[ermonski]

@EtherealWaves hang out with your wang out. lol

whered the head of the guitar neck go ??? =o
