That guitar sounds incredible; such a deep; warm; smooth tone.

[BluntAnim]

@quagbomb

why WHY

[poetlocked]

He's my idol!!!!!

[Rael0505]

@poetlocked Haha, isn't it great? This is the only good live performance of this song on youtube! He only plays this song on request. The other time someone requested it he had forgotten how to play it and messed up the end, but this time he got it right. I feel so lucky to have been there when he played it. It's a gorgeous song, by far my favorite of his.

His Art of Motion performance was also amazing that night! It was my favorite version of Art of Motion I've seen. Such a great night.

[LukeNosredan]

This guitar has such beautiful tone it makes me want to cry. Just saying :)

[bassificate]

WHO COUGHED?!?!?!?!?!!!!!

[Rael0505]

@bassificate Don't worry, the sniper got him after I stopped recording.

[colorsofmymind]

@Rael0505 xD lol!

[azbball557]

Such a cool guy. Looks like a guy that would be fun to just kick back with. And he is so damn talented.

[brumajum90]

Is this also in D open like some of his other songs guys?

[Rael0505]

I could've sworn I already responded to this comment... but I don't see it here so I'll do it again! All of Andy's songs are in alternate tunings. This one is EBDGBD with a partial capo on strings 2-6 (leaving only the 1st string un-capo'd)

[TheMiraclePoop]

@Rael0505

Man I find Andy to be just a genius on guitar. I knew he was talented, but some of the tunings he does I wouldn't normally think of, and I never knew he partially capo'd sometimes, I find that a fascinating idea and am almost surprised I've never thought of it, haha

[Chickenjuggle]

@Rael0505 Technically, Heather's Song is in standard, but it's played on a baritone guitar. :P

[ronspeck]

Great quality on the video! It sounds like andy really interacted with the crowd which is awesome in ANY musician. =]

[Rael0505]

It was a great show because it was such a small venue. There couldn't have been more than 40 people in the audience. I miss him this year, but I hope he'll come around again soon. I'd love to film another show.

[goncalobotelhosousa]

Thank you so much for sharing!

[FGrantMusic]

man thanks so much for recording this, amazing!

[Rael0505]

You're welcome! I'm so glad I did

[DjHaNdSkiLLz]

this is a master you see right here, such a professional

[krisyboy1976]

nothing compared to keys to a hovercar. wow, ive been playing for 25 years that tune, is rocking., i play most of his stuff, but i ant got the same KEYS. lol

[Hal0Elite42]

he has the same capo i do

[Rael0505]

A shubb, right?

[xcessedidentity]

Man i love his tunes i think this is one of his masterpieces!!!

[Stophocles]

I agree. Some people don't like this tune but I think this is one of this very best.

[MrVoiceofreason123]

@Stophocles This is actually one of my favorites by him to tell you the truth. This song is highly underrated. The first time I ever heard it was on my headphones while I was backpacking so everytime I hear this it brings back memories of sleeping in a pine forest next to the fire.

[dantheacousticman]

wow, your really lucky for getting to see this. i cant wait till i get the chance to see him. :)

[Rael0505]

Probably my favorite he performed.  What an incredible song.
