Shanghai (Andy McKee) - cover by MonoPete

Yet another Mckee cover from me: this again one of my favourites from Andy. Once again, not perfect. I try to make my next post one of my own original songs. Or maybe the one after the next post... :)

@ThomasMon12

Besides being rather cryptic, this comment (that you have apparently posted on several McKee related videos?) is totally pointless... Well, thanks anyway! :)

I love Shanghai! Has to be one of my current favorites. Fantastic job on this, man. It's great to see a new video from you. I hope to see more!

How many strings does the capo cover, by the way? 5?

[MonoPete]

(I tried to reply earlier but somehow my reply vanished into thin air...) Thank you for the comment mate! Yes, 5: it is tuned to EBDGBD, capo on 2nd fret strings 1-5, so only the highest D is ringing loose. Bought the tabs from Candyrat, it is all there! :)

[Rael0505]

The tabs aren't on Candy Rat anymore, if you look. All of Andy's tabs have been removed. I shot an email to them and they said Andy will be announcing something on his website about it, so I've been waiting for that... I hope he hasn't decided to stop selling his tabs entirely.

I actually noticed that myself (right after replying to you) and was a bit astounded because I did not find them there - but I just thought it was some sort of temporary malfunction on the page! Thanks for the info, lets see...

Too many ooopps!!! Stop shattering Shanghai, I beg you.... there´s no need for this...

[Rael0505]

We both know that now. You're replying to comments that are 10 months old. At the time I made this comment, Andy's tabs were removed off of Candy Rat and they weren't put on his own site yet.

You can get the tabs off his McKee's website for 2 bucks a pop.

the best advice I can give when it comes to McKee's songs, is that he pays most attention to sustain and CRISP timing. Work on your sustain. As far as fingering goes, where I notice you have some trouble, I recommend you start at a chord you're comfortable playing, and switch from that to your new positioning instantly. Do it OVER AND OVER until the position is seamless.
