I picked up my dictionary, looked in it for about a couple of hours, put it down and frowned.... I still had been unsuccesful in finding words to describe how fucking awesome Andy McKee's guitarplay is...
I am able to do this song, I have listened to this song since the Live Taiwan video with Common Ground in aswell, and I still get goosebumbs by listening this song.
saw andy play in Putney (UK) with Don Ross - Two amazing guitar players and all-round nice guys - Stayed for drinks after the gig and they were totally down to Earth. A guitarists' guitarist!!
i can only imagine how hard it is for him to do that standing up! And he pulls it off even better than the original version! And its amazing how RUclips helped his career so much. GO RUclips!!!!
you know, I'm glad that Andy made a mistake or two in this video, I was beginning to suspect he was a robot from the other videos I watched of him. Truly beautiful Andy, keep it up. Oh and Andy... come play somewhere around the Michigan area, I want to see you in person!
This song (or tune, rather) really can create an image of yourself floating in the skies, looking down at the daily life. Simply drifting along. On a cloud, or maybe on the back of a cart with hay, watching the scenery disappear behind you. Just like memories come and go. It sure gives me the chills! Epic. P.S: kids love this tune, if you have to babysit. :D
you know, I have to give props to his beard. The beard is the talent, it just grew a person from itself. There has been only one case similar to this, and that was the creation of Chuck Norris.
thats what seperates posers with true musicians. they make it look effortless. AMAZING!

McKee is a remarkable musician. I just so happen to come across this video, in my eyes that's a shame. He should be more published and widely known
Wow I find this song so refreshing. Very nice song.

Drifting is Andy 's bestest song
Old but Gold
It's even more good to listen LIVE!
Such beautiful music and hes such a nice guy just all around an amazing person and musician.
during the start of the video, when he was picking random notes, that's already music! OH GOD I love andy mckee!!!
Your gift is awesome !!!!
j'ai regardé sa vidéo sur candyrat des dizaines de fois , et là c'est encore un plaisir !...........
this song from the soul ! Music is the perfection of God !
Andy Mc Kee is awsome musician an one of the greatest guitarists of the new "you tube" age (quote Lee Ritenour).
Has a musical gift !!!!! Is a master
Oh man I was almost there. Need to replay the video one or two more times ;-)
The MASTER of acoustic ...
i love the speed in which it's played at in this video.
He makes it seem so easy... Amazing.
Im glad he gave the due respect to Preston Reed. Drifting will always be first and favorite tapping tune.
love this song...perfect title for it. the percussion part sounds like an ipu heke (hawaiian instrument).
I love it how it all just seems to come so naturally to him.. And what he does is HARD to pull off, more so, to make it sound that beautiful.
oh god, absolutelly brilliant ...
this is beautiful. i need not say more.
Some awesome guitar guys came to my school today and one of them played this song. He was amazing! I couldn't believe it!
The man is a GOD on guitar!
*sniff* Its just so BEAUTIFUL!!!
i can only imagine how hard it is for him to do that standing up! And he pulls it off even better than the original version!
And its amazing how RUclips helped his career so much. GO RUclips!!!!

This was in Shetland? no way. I was born there, and i would've been up around then.
Gutted i missed it! This man is an absolute genius.
Great close up shots, useful for learning it

This guy is so amazing!!
interesting....this is a different key than the original RUclips post....Can't figure out which key I like more ! :)
LOVE IT!
you know, I have to give props to his beard. The beard is the talent, it just grew a person from itself. There has been only one case similar to this, and that was the creation of Chuck Norris.
As Steve Martin said in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, WOW...WOW..WOW, all I can say is WOW!
I can't wait, 04-09 in Cologne!
Amazing!
Genial ... muy muy bien ... una habilidad extraordinaria
13 people don't know the 'art of motion' and will be deprived of the bliss in the 'gates of Gnomeria'
todo dia tenho que assistir esse video ao menos uma vez!
After 8 hours I've learned it!
Inspiring!
Gracias!
Still awesome.
truly unreal
Wonderful perfomance
i feel like crying right now
Andy, u never cease to amaze me! incroyable!!!
low tuning sounds fantastic. :)
he still caught him self well enough.
hes a cyborg
Wow.... just wow... I been playin for about 20 years, and i cant do that... time to retire,lol
magical...
i like how its tuned higher a lil bit, makes it sound rather jollier :D tehe
He's got the percussion , bassline , and the melody all in one. He's the Stanley Jordan of the acoustic giutar!!
Amazin stuff-I love the harp guitar featured in acoustic magazine too!
oh man I love it! cant wait to see more, and Please PLEASE keep it up!!! youre great best wishes!
This great song is even better live...
He shows so much emotion through his performance...
