Andy Mckee - Nakagawa-San (cover)

The second finger-style song I have learned. Not perfect in anyway, plenty of mistakes, but my best take so far. Hope you like it. Thank you RileyBrady for your help and your transcription. (Acoustic Guitar Magazine, thank you for your transcriptions as well) Check out RileyBradys version of this song by searching "RileyBrady Nakagawa-San". Also check out the original song by Andy Mckee.

This song is played on my brand new Epiphone, my first SOLID SPRUCE TOP guitar. It still has factory strings on it :-x but hey strings are expensive. This guitar is great, but needs some adjustments.
I enjoyed playing and learning this song the whole time, it is really fun. Give it a try.

You should send me the tabs. I can never find them. And guitar pro doesnt work on this computer. Id really appreciate it buddy.

@VaggDestroyer search you tube for "Riley Brady Nakagawa-San" and check out his great version of the song. Then message him because he did all the work in transcribing it and would probably be happy to send them to you

brilliant song, good stuff im still learning this one,

loving the Epiphone what type is that?

[jcontraros]

its an AJ-200S. this video doesnt do it justice. it has a very sweet tone. extremely low action (which I love, cuz it doesnt tear my fingers apart after 3 hours of playin the same riff haha) ...it only costs about $250 new! and with a solid spruce top thats hard to beat! good luck with the song!

[RileyBrady]

sounds really good man, especially for your 2nd fingerstyle song! keep working on it. play along with Andy's video a lot, and you'll get up to speed with him eventually. also, with the parts you struggle with, just sit there and work on them over and over instead of focusing on the song as a whole.

great playing!!

[jcontraros]

thanks man.

[fritskezowittenie]

Nice job bro! Especially for someone who's playing on this level for such a short notice! Keep up the good work!

[jcontraros]
