Sleeping On Floors

[hijituso]

2 Terrible mistakes!!!!!.................­.1st didn't show the dolphins listening and smiling on the background ,second mistake was at minute 3:03!!!

[mohammed9005]

when i got the tabs for this, the tuning is a half step down from f#ac#g#be

[PoLoCaFeTaUm]

Ha! Nice Craig

[Onyxaxe]

Darn geese!!

[Stratman2929]

Hey craig, what sort of nails do you use on your right hand??

[craigd19]

@Stratman2929 I use plastic ones. The company is Kiss and the type is 'Active Oval'. I use the 2 and 3 sizes. They work great. Buy them at any pharmacy (walgreens, cvs, etc)

[NonyTewberry]

It's so pretty. :)

[fuckfuck14]

Would be awesome if you said to me what mic is this, and if this guitar is a model make for you or by you, or is just a rare guitar it's really awesome, and also you a great player i'm for your songs and really one day have the honor to play something with you... would be a reason to smile 24 hours monday to monday...

Anyway hugz from brasil, take care.. sorry for the english..

[craigd19]

@fuckfuck14 This was a $60 microphone. All we did was put it in the correct position...It's going direct into the camera with no eq or anything like that. Sony stereo something. Also, my guitar is nice.

[fuckfuck14]

@craigd19 Not just your guitar.. you achieved one of the things i dream achieve, you're changing lifes with your music man...

really my day just gets better every time i listen to you.. since the first time i heard band friend take 59... anyway thanks for the answer you awesome. xD

[sehnsucht77]

@craigd19: craig, is this specific beneteau a jumbo or SJ? im thinking of starting a commission is Marc and I am looking for something a bit bigger than the small jumbo size of my White Model F for more oomph. great playing as always.

[craigd19]

@sehnsucht77 This is a SJ which, is the same size as a Gibson Jumbo (17" lower bout)

I have a White F and this guitar has more bass. I also have a Beneteau small jumbo and it sounds amazing. Lots of bass but lots of clarity. Check out his blackwood guitars!

[sehnsucht77]

@craigd19: craig, thanks for the info! bought the BLT album when it came out. great work on the new material!

[Wiibal]

Sweet and beautiful.

[N8Brams]

The geese is a nice touch! 2:25

[sOneVii]

I would sit here and praise you but that would be clearly redundant. I'll just say you are beyond a perfect fit for CandyRat. Wish you the best of luck, keep pushing your sound. Its amazing.

[natgeoiscool1]

cool inlay

[rushiisahero]

no one can dislike this!

it´s so amazing

[petahbread14]

he's gotten much better since i first heard his music.

[cindyhmoss]

You play beautiful! Thumbs up!

[abiffmaster]

Awesome playing dude.

[lilmark816]

10,420 haha who else

[annito95]

Too good to be true...!!! :)

[DynahJoyce]

Absolutely amazing.

[2funk2bpunk]

So beautiful. Thank you so much Craig.

[PrettyMommyOfTwo]

I can honestly say, I've never listened to Craig D'Andrea until this morning while I've been nursing a pretty awful hangover. His music has made today more tolerable. Absolutely beautiful! I've listened to this one song probably 10 times today! :-)

[Gonamez]

lol I thought there were seagulls in my house

Beautiful song

[chsay313]

As always Craig superb job! When are you coming back to the D? Haven't checked with Michigan Fingerstyle yet.

Thanks for Sharing,

Guitar Chris

[121jigawatts]

The goose was cool, the truck was only saved by Mike and Craig's sense of humor. Great outdoors!

[CelestialBroker]

Dances with trucks (musically).  Sweet smile. Great talent.

[MyNameEngraved]

Great song brotha!

[121jigawatts]

For whatever reason I've been banned from commenting on rpoland's channel for sometime. I'm glad that I can pay the highest compliments to you here. This new stuff is so good Craig. I love the new compositions and the little disonant "nuggets" that are laced throughout every song. I think that As We Go is one of the best you've done yet.

[s17occer]

half of these views are mine

[annas20087]

Man...the Most fabulous Music in 2011 ! Respect ! what a feeling,you are soo talented graig,your parents must be proud of you ! loving your Brother ! God bless You !

[howard9643]

[99805412]

[CAChab93]

0 Dislikes!

[RileyAcoustic]

Really good stuff man! Loving the scenery... otherwise, audio quality is awesome and the song is just great!!

Riley

[ShaneThompson94]

Hey Craig hows it going man, i just wanted to let you know, your music has really influenced my pieces and more importantly me. your definetly one of my favourite musicians. Take care and cant wait to hear more from you in the future :)

Shane.

[fistwood]

Dear Craig, i have to correct the tuning

it's not F#AC#G#BE

but F Ab C G Bb Eb

(took me an hour to discover it^^)

[Chewbakka17]

The way you kinda bob your head and at 1:48 makes me think you really like that short little flurry?.....it sounded so smooth. Amazing work man!

[craigd19]

Tab Set 8 is now up at CandyRat . com and features tabs for this piece!

[hahaha2411]

@craigd19

craig howd u become so good D: ive only had to years of pratice and lessons i really want to be like u so bad ur so awesome!!!

[fistwood]

May I know the tuning craig???

It's not mentioned in ur website's FAQ

[ehhyoBillbO]

@fistwood Tuning: F#AC#G#BE

[fistwood]

@vvvvSORAvvvv Good luck Sora...Looking forward to seeing your cover of Craig's songs!!!

[HandiAce]

I am proud to have this man's signature on my guitar.

[ChrisBrandsborg]

How much does that guitar cost? It sounds to good! :-)

[AustinAlive1]

@ChrisBrandsborg its a handmade guitar, so its gonna be pretty expensive

[ChrisBrandsborg]

Beautiful!! :-)

[AcousticGuy2378]

Glad the bus only came at the end and not in the middle. That was really really good Craig. Though it had the traditional song structure, it definitely told a story. kudos

[AcousticGuy2378]

Glad the bus only came at the end and not in the middle. That was really really good Craig.

[GabFab4U]

That's really amazing. Your lively style I like.

[DigitalEffect]

what the hell kind of camera do you guys use? it makes any video look bad ass as hell!

[guitarholic999]

can it be?!

the 2nd Generation of Andy Mckee?

this is my first time i saw Craig's video....

and it's style is more like Andy.....but he has his own style...

Bravo!

[MrFaulconbridge]

@guitarholic999 Enough with this relating players to Andy Mckee. He never created the whole style you know...

[Ramon1233]

Huh, there's something wrong with this video! Why is it only counting my views ?

[digitwiz]

awesome song craig, beautiful composition, your stuff is inspiring. nice place for shooting also. regards from mexico..

[chicken6111]

Ahh finally, a YouTube video that no-one dislikes. And why would they, this song is pure genius.

[blackpearl852]

Have you got tabs for this , Craig ?

[Kaqemusho]

That was amazing. You've just earned another subscriber.

[holyswordsmanoffaith]

anyone else get up to look outside their windows when the seagulls started squawking?

[kopitikop]

awesome music, i loved it :)

[craigd19]

@SimpleQuality The guitar I use in these videos, and on the entire new album, are built by Marc Beneteau. They are great

[adamisonfiree]

Absolutely love this!

[Ramon1233]

I was hoping there would be tabs for this at the candyrat website. Are there coming more tabs sets including this beautiful piece?

[MrFaulconbridge]

Do you think about music theory when you write or do you just let what sounds good to you?

[rayge]

Nice job man!! Wish i had time to post new stuff.

[Darknessfalls32]

Beautiful, Hearing this live is such an amazing experience.

[tobethelight]

I prefer this to the album version purely because of those incredibly tuneful geese adding an extra dimension to the piece :). Wonderful stuff as always Craig!

[JoeLaFigue]

Love your show-offface in the end : "You wish you couldshake a guitar like that to make awesome music as me uh ? well leave it to professionals ; )" XD

[Trobbins86]

I like the geese...

[rauteu2]

woww i have listen to this like 20 times xD. one question those strings are metal of an electroacustic? or metal of a electric guitar?

PD: sorry for my bad english xD, i hope you answer because it sounds so cool :D

[lucanteriguitars]

stunning Craig!

[MrMinhtien]

beautiful... so beautiful :) what's your tunning!?

[ehhyoBillbO]

@MrMinhtien its in the read more Tuning: F#AC#G#BE

[ehhyoBillbO]

Beautiful composition as always Craig. Great choice of scenery as well. Any unique story to the title of the song?

[AlienAxeSlinger]

The air matress story behind this song cracked me up man. Good times!

[RobiRamone]

this is the same tuning Andy Mckee uses for Art of Motion isn´t it?

[xtheMiSTx]

is there any songs come up with new record?

[SGDrummer7]

2:25. What the hell was that?? I've never heard a guitar make that sound...Oh it's a seagull...

[ox0Jason0xo]

man ive given this like 3k of the views i swear i listen to this every morning by far the best thing you have wrote so far man keep them coming!!!

[disciplefreak98]

Beautiful stuff, Craig. I'll be seeing you this this Thursday in Chicago.

[InnocenceCorrode]

Love it

[TomDodsonMusic]

I love that tuning :) It's the same as Art of motion. But I break so many G strings tuning it up its a nightmare :(

[brady6951]

@TomDodsonMusic Tune down a half step and use a kapo.

[121jigawatts]

@brady6951 That's really good advice really, for those who are afraid to tune the G or high E up. But I hate the way capos seem to take the "woodiness" out of guitar tone. It's hard to hear it on videos but when you play your own guitar with/without one you really hear the tonal discrepancies.

[AndyMcKeeFanForLife]

Wow. Awesome tone. Amazing composition. I wish I could write music even a tenth as well as you do. Definately gonna be checking out the new album when it comes out.

[guitarplayingcat]

Awesome man, I will definately be purchasing your CD. Are you ever going to come to Alberta?!?! I would love to see you play live!

[markart]

Craig, if you can answer, I was wondering what model Beneteau that was?

[craigd19]

@markart It's one of Beneteau's SJ models which is his version of the jumbo. 25.75" scale. Bubinga back and sides, spruce top. If I remember correctly this one is from 2004ish

[markart]

@craigd19 Thanks Craig. From your cameraman's view the lower bout looked huge so I was wondering heh. Can't wait to hear more new tracks. Thanks again. 

[saadsnake6]

the video is so beautiful

[InnocenceCorrode]

Epic :D

[Chriskenth]

Awesome song man, I'm reeeaaaallly glad no trucks came by.

[dustofseven]

new song is sounding pretty tight bro...can't wait for the new stuffs!

[markart]

Awesome! So glad to hear some new work from you. Can't wait for the new album!

[123alexava]

Здорово!!! Хочу так же играть ) (но увы, я пианист)

Wow! awesome! I want to play like you) (but , I am a pianist)

[AwkwardCheesecake]

I think this is your best yet. Keep it up.

[craigd19]

@AwkwardCheesecake Thanks! Can't wait to share the rest

[fipdalips]

awesome song, can't wait for the tabs :D btw. isn't it D# on the high E string?

[craigd19]

@fipdalips Tuning is FAbCGBbEb

[fipdalips]

@craigd19 thanks!

[crousekenny]

sick track, dude. my band and i plan on doing several videos like this throughout the summer, any tips on getting a good acoustic sound outdoors?

[TriviumFan15]

Can't wait to hear this live on the 29th at the Ruta Maya. I look forward to your show!

[reeseslots]

sounds great craig! im really glad to see you play again. its been awhile

[craigd19]

@reeseslots I've been playing the whole time but it feels good to be putting out new material. Glad you like it

[sebastiencloutier28]

Nice song craig! I like the birds at 2:29...

[Shuyinz]

Mooore videos Craig! This song is amazing!!

[GarretsShadow]

wow, this tune is just lovely...

[TomDodsonMusic]

Had to listen to this again, so good :)))

[Questionmark226]

Dude, your album comes out a day after my birthday. I really got to save some of my birthday money to get this album. It is surely on my birthday wish list.

[guitar2adam]

sweet! how cold was it out there?

[racketman90]

yep...mind is officially fucked

[EugenePoluyachtov]

Don't you think that you need more tags to have more viewers?)

[craigd19]

@EugenePoluyachtov What tags should I be using?

[EugenePoluyachtov]

@craigd19 Fingerstyle Solo Acoustic Guitar Percussive Progressive Hand Tap Taylor Thumbpick Candy Rat Tommy Emmanuel Andy Mckee Don Ross Antoine Dufour Justin King Thomas Leeb Eric sungha jung Roche Rik Emmett Toronto гитара виртуозная игра на гитаре

фингерстайл guitar virtuoso a suonare la chitarra jouer de la guitare virtuose de la guitare picking

:D  at least one week)))

[K1LL14N]

@craigd19 stuff like : 'Super Awesome', 'Incredible', 'soulful' and 'seagulls' :) that'll do

[fujiwarakenji]

@craigd19 How about amazing acoustic guitar player coz thats what you are man. Your amazing!

[EugenePoluyachtov]

Beautiful, as always)

[janludvigsen]

Amazing playing Craig! And Mike did a great job on capturing the sound, even though it was outside! You should reeeaaalllyy post alot more videos on youtube, both of playing and interviews and stuff! :-) I think it could get you and your playing more attention!

[mikefalzone]

@janludvigsen Thank you!!

[AcousticDreams0]

Pretty boss man. What brand is that acoustic by the way? It has a great sound.

[craigd19]

@AcousticDreams0 this guitar is a Beneteau

[CanadaGuy80]

@AcousticDreams0 It's an extremely expensive guitar. I believe Don Ross plays the same make.

[Rael0505]

Craig, didn't you play this for me on baritone a few months back? Any reason you decided to play this on a regular guitar instead?

[craigd19]

@Rael0505 it was on baritone but I liked it in this range better. no real reason

[euro2795]

great piece! love it so much!

[MrSylth]

YEAAAAHHHH

[antman8813]

Sooooooo where can I buy this song?

[craigd19]

@antman8813 No where yet. The new album comes out on April 26th on candyrat and itunes

[ChrisPassFl]

come to florida again!

[Joet80t]

Looks like an awesome place to play guitar.. oh and good job

[PopTheGlock423]

Please tell me that's ocean water!!!

[craigd19]

@PopTheGlock423 That is some real salt water. technically not the ocean but close enough for describing to a midwesterner!

[PopTheGlock423]

@craigd19 Send it my love. Oh and I like the personality in the video. Well done friend.

[RiseAgainstNow]

Can't wait to here the rest of this album, great!

[antiglobalist]

I'm so happy to hear new stuff from you. The chorus melody is a 100% Craig D :)

The seagull noise would've made more sense if you were actually playing a Seagull like I do ;)

[TomDodsonMusic]

That is one of the nicest sounding guitars ever. So loud! Its got awesome response in every way too :D It's not a greenfield guitar is it? The song was incredible too :)

[HLiive]

@TomDodsonMusic

It is a Beneteau Guitar

[K1LL14N]

@TomDodsonMusic it's a Beneteau :)

[TomDodsonMusic]

@K1LL14N Cool, thanks :)

[K1LL14N]

@TomDodsonMusic no prob !

[karen0444]

i liked it when i heard the first few seconds. i knew i would like the whole song :)

[121jigawatts]

Somehow sleeping on floors is a whole lot more uncomfortable for me than listening to that song! Glad to see you still cranking out amazing music :)

[tcxmasta]

How does he do it!? very carefully. thats how.

[staffansvahn]

Soo beautiful! Wonderful composition.

I love your effortless technique and your crazy tunings.

Best wishes to you

Staffan

[jacecrawford]

i can't wait to get to work on some of the new songs Craig and i can't wait for the 500 mile road trip to LA to see the show !

[craigd19]

@jacecrawford That is a loooong drive man! I hope we all play our very best that night. see you in L.A.

[jacecrawford]

@craigd19

totally worth it . . . i am going to see 4 of the best guitarists in the world and my 3 friends are going to the beach :) haha road trips are great ! about time to get out of utah, reminder came last night with 3 inches of snow !!! Anyways , Bro man Dude, new song and video are stellar, my new baritone is gonna be done soon and standing still is being learned to welcome it into my home

[slylink690]

I really Liked this, it's a very soothing song makes me think of recalling past events that were good. :) nice video shooting from Mike. Great video!

[dandobi]

wow - friggin' awesome

[abannana1184]

is there gel in your hair?

[craigd19]

@abannana1184 No gel but I had just gotten it cut. Can't remember any gel though. do you like it?

[NedMcPhie]

Woohoo! Great song Craig! :D

[mrboycom]

Cool, i like your music.

[Wakablahblah]

I like it! xD

[nursejc1]

Awesome! Can't wait for the CD release :)

[oddclown]

You make Ab sound awesome sir!

[craigd19]

@oddclown Thanks, but it's not in the key of Ab but I do try to make all of the keys sound awesome if I can.

[Rael0505]

Glad to see you've been making progress with the new album, Craig! This new song is great. Always impressed by your stuff!

[K1LL14N]

I was so hoping that this song would be better than all the songs on the last album all together....

IT-IS! :D

[K1LL14N]

@K1LL14N and I already super-digged the last album

[bohmaniac]

wow, cool song :)

[DeHuMaNiZeD100]

very beautifull song^^

[mandoswinger]

Brilliant! Great to see a new video from you in my subs window! Hope for more soon.

[craigsskeldon]

This is real music, it's a shame people don't appreciate real music and soul, people always ask me to play something on guitar? and when i play a song that is just without singing and soulful, they ask me what else i can play as if they were disappointed, Come on people, Stop listening to shit ehh? thumbs up if you agree this is real music.

[mutley2209]

lol geese in the background, should add that to the actual album lol awesome stuff as usual Craig =)

[craigd19]

@mutley2209 those are seagulls...maybe

[m4tth3]

@craigd19

I was the cameraman :D Dont deny it ;)
