Andy McKee - Common Ground without Commentary

[mateuszacz]

That guitar probably cos something about 15 000 bucks...

[criter96]

2:55-2:59

I died.

[criter96]

@RossMcGauley That zoomed-in camera is looking at the only hand that is still slower than light :)

[CaptainTwichy]

This makes me think of two cowboys facin eachother in the middle of town and the leadup till they draw..

[parkourislife123]

tunning?

[Knockabollockof]

@parkourislife123 drop d, and its somehow even harder than it looks

[FloatingXDonut]

To put this out there, the new advertisement that has the guy performing hip hop on stage made my ears bleed. Then, they were healed by Andy's guitar.

[dizmo427]

look at his right hand and then you will realize why his wife is happy...

[javierze93]

Is it me or the guitar's frets aren't straight?

[RileyAGF]

@javierze93 Fanned fret guitars. Great for alternate tunings. The wider side simulates a guitar with a longer neck, improving intonation for the lower strings, while the the slimmer side is better for the higher strings. Damned things are pricey. :|

[SuperJonny7]

JESSE

[Korvmannen]

Who doesn't appreciate a good guitar comp with bass-tune as base?

[Verithiell]

allright, lemme tell you. He sucks. Go watch this guy:

/watch?v=tuZX-Mk60Us

[beatysamuel0215]

@Verithiell I will Admit that he is amazing, but music doesn't just need to be amazing. Andy Mckee makes it also beautiful at least. it's all preferences i suppose..

but dissing him JUST because he can't go as fast as the other guy is a little lame.

[Verithiell]

@beatysamuel0215 yeah it is lame, but dont take it too seriously. That was just a small trick to get your atention :D I personally think they are both great and the music they play is even better.

[beatysamuel0215]

@Verithiell lol good otherwise I'd hafta hunt you down and murder you :P

[felazz1]

love it andy you let me cry of happiness with your music youre the best guitaris of this time! thumps up please!

[felazz1]

love it andy you let me cry of happiness with your music youre the best guitaris of this time!

[useronuralp]

this song reminds me of ewan dobson's :)

[cwhiiiable]

did you sell your soul to get this good?

[RossMcGauley]

That zoomed-in camera is looking at the wrong damn hand

[rabusse]

@RossMcGauley no it is not ? you can see which strengs you have to play by looking at the notes he is using.

[ajvanho982]

Oh, this one is great!

[TheJemenge]

@KylerMakesVlogs fuck you

[KylerMakesVlogs]

@TheJemenge

<3

[KylerMakesVlogs]

It sounds like background music to a Ford truck commerical,

[samyeaton5083]

@KylerMakesVlogs fuck you

[Martty3420]

@KylerMakesVlogs Fuck you

[KylerMakesVlogs]

@Martty3420

I actually didnt mean that in a bad way..

[FloatingXDonut]

This song makes me want to run and jump over things to deliver a message to my neighbor.

[jonathanvilar]

Sometimes sounds like Smooth Criminal. Is not it?

[bluebluer444]

@DeadNerve strange and pretty damn expensive!

[pyrobunny9]

he's got a sick guitar. So subtle yet so beautiful

[HIMITSUGUITAR]

He's a bit of a McKee

[SoundNutt]

does anyone know what that type of guitar is? with the slanted frets? cheers

[tugs222]

@SoundNutt

It is a Greenfield guitar. And, one can be yours for the introductory rate of $15K! They are handmade on order by a luthier in Canada.

[DeadNerve47]

Oh! This guitar is quite strange!

[asdfgyamhjkl23]

what's with his guitar? :))

[darkconjurer]

Man where is the non vevo version of this!? I don't want to see their crappy recommendations for "supposed" music. Andy McKee has more heart and soul in his pinky fingernail than anything dumb vevo tries to sell.

[annabelleshivermusic]

commentary? what does that mean? a close up of his fingers?

[tocxik11122]

am i the only one who thinks that it sounds like a Mark Knofpler song in the start

[kylenation1]

@tocxik11122 i knew it

[CroppedHornet]

you are relly starting something awesome for guitarist everywhere, you should make a t shirt. it can say "im awesome and your not". just to put people of of the misery of not being good.

[gimmetheremote16]

This is a lot slower than the album version. Not that that is a bad thing though, this sounds magical.

[XxSpRiTeZzxX]

V-ery

E-vil

V-ideo

O-rganisation.

[bourky93]

@XxSpRiTeZzxX How exactly is it Evil? I would love to know your reasoning, seriously.

[XxSpRiTeZzxX]

@bourky93 I honestly just put it up out of boredom.....

[bourky93]

@XxSpRiTeZzxX Interesting

[XxSpRiTeZzxX]

@bourky93 Hey you can't blame me.We all do stupid stuff when were bored.

[pseudogenesis]

@XxSpRiTeZzxX

Copy-Pasted directly from somebody else's creativity.

[XxSpRiTeZzxX]

@pseudogenesis Eh who give's a fuck that was a month a go.Movein on now.Chow.

[ewcalvi]

Second time I've seen this happen with Andy... at 0:32. Whats up with the flame at the nut?

[smagmauder]

@ewcalvi

He moved back as that happened, so it was probably simply the reflection of a light on his headstock.

[avlkush]

Dear Vevo,

Let me start by saying get your corporate asses off youtube! Ever since these big companies started paying off youtube so they could post their videos, we can't post ours. We are flagged for infringement evry time we include a song we like in our videos.

This is YOUtube, the place where we can post OUR videos. If we wanted to listen to music from you we'd go to your damn website!!!!!

To people who want these greedy corporates gone, copy and paste to all Vevo videos.

[Xxexcaliburr51xX]

@avlkush Couldnt have said it better myself!

[Shekanereal]

@avlkush You don't have to pay for YT because of them

[GameChieftain]

@avlkush The only way this place stays free is from corporate assholes like vevo, it is not your website YouTube does not owe you anything.

[Midgetdragon1234]

@avlkush Jesus fucking christ why do people not understand why VEVO is here? VEVO is here because they are a necessary evil they are what keeps YouTube free if we did not have VEVO, or adds on videos we would probably have to pay for YouTube, because did you know it actually costs money to maintain the servers for YouTubes video hosting? No you probably didn't know that so please DO NOT copy and past those anti-VEVO comments instead, copy this one.

[TheBaconExpress]

@avlkush If your not a partner, put this in the video description:

[Andy40004]

@avlkush calmdown its not a big deal....

[RileyAGF]

@avlkush How are artists supposed to make money from their music when you're stealing it and giving it away for free? It's not "free advertising" as many claim it to be. That'd be like saying stealing PS3s and passing them out is the same as advertising. It's not. Vevo allows artists to get paid for what they do. You get paid for your work, why shouldn't they?

[KLAANITSIJA]

@avlkush VEVO gives you the right to listen to music online legally. VEVO is NOT taking anything from you. Spamming that same text isnt going to "help". Vevo is a good thing.

[heightssurfer]

@avlkush Do you support Andy McKee?

[apfeltes]

they need this song on RDR

[apfeltes]

i pooped

[fudgebarjohn]

Britney Spears is old and disgusting get the bitch off this page!

[ChanielDang]

whoa whats up with his frets?

[FizzicksDude]

@ChanielDang Fanned frets are designed to give the guitar better intonation compared to standard frets.

[ChanielDang]

@FizzicksDude haha I would be all confused if I tried to play one

[FizzicksDude]

@ChanielDang it would def take some getting used to. Never had the opportunity to play a guitar with fanned frets yet, but i would love the chance to try them out.

[rtk14kwyjibo]

anyone know if theres a cd with this on it?

[Genesimmonsrocks]

No dislikes... Thats what I like to see. ;)

[eMulett]

Only 3,000 views while Gaga's videos are getting millions? What is this world coming to?

[trashtonporter]

Absolute killer guitar... not of this earth.

[Darickxuma]

This man is the #1 insperation. I love everything he does.



[moomyman92]

wow.  I am awestruck by your talent!

[TGhost27]

that's real music.

[skipiscad]

In my opinion, the alternate camera should be on his picking hand...lots of magic going on there...

[SergeantDago]

damn right 0 dislikes, better stay that way, this man is God of guitar...

[AngelusAddo]

I cried when I figured out that this song was only 3 minutes and 10 seconds long. T_T

[AngelusAddo]

I love how he rocks out to his own music. If he had long hair, I could so see him head banging during the chorus.

[heavincentOPAWG]

Nice guitar,,!

[CMP11387]

I think somewhere in the song I heard the guitar say " Ouch Damnit! "

[gimmetheremote16]

I wish Britney would stop staring at me...

[artglue2]

Whoa......I could listen to you play forever! Really, really awesome!

[AdventureFreindz]

Love it.

[sux2bu37]

Is it just me or would a lot of this song be awesome in house or trance techno? Probably just me...

[jayjaysquared]

i love you andy mckee! :D

[1dabirdman]

[NikovK]

[jesusminime14]

[phillies3571]

[zlonguyenx]

[blizzardofthemonth]

[TheMightyRAMBO5]
