      Agreed. Sometimes it almost looks like he's aiming a gun or something. It's simultaneously an art and a game of precision.

      Paul Poulin Something neat: Dislikes are actually helpful in a way because they make the video 'controversial' and it widens the range of people who see it.

    People keep dissing the percussion pop, but it is a style, and he has incredible flow with it. And also, every musician takes a little of every other sound they have heard to make a new sound. That is the art of music, an unsung collaboration of those that inspired you. Just fu#king enjoy it for what it is, great music by a great guitarist. And YES Totos Africa was epic.

    saw Andy in Sydney Australia (the basement) it was magical, Rylynn still gives me goosebumps, the song was born in deep sorrow (the death of a friends little daughter
    -i think) now her memory lives on & that sadness is behind Andy (i think)

    @JoshybearBruh1 10 лет назад +1

    Had the pleasure of seeing him play in the Ponte Vedra Concert Hall (Jacksonville, FL).
    I'm 17 and I considered myself a pretty decent guitarist until I saw him and I felt like an infant with a guitar in my hands.
    Every song he's written/transcribed is a masterpiece and he's such a chill guy.
    I got him to autograph a CD and a poster for me. Definitely the best concert I've ever been to.

    I'm convinced that Drifting is one of the best songs ever written. Such a talent and if I wasn't more strong minded I would case my guitar forever. I will never be as good as this guy but the gift of music is so great that we forge ahead, right?!!

    🤩🤩🤩 The incredible talent of Andy McKee who by the mastery of his art, sublimates that of the equally talented guitar-maker Michael Greenfield and his one-of-a-kind, handcraft bespoke guitars, including Andy's famous harp-guitar, which can be heard on his track "Into the ocean", it gives this magical moment!✨✨✨

      @whotookjimirocket 5 лет назад

      play it often, if you give it a few years of intimacy you'll develop your own touch and sound quite well. it's about intimacy over time i think if you want sound like his. intimacy = focus for at least an hour straight. once you get comfortable playing guitar and you can play by ear decently i would recommend going out to find yourself a nice guitar that becomes your own and learn to take care of it. i wanna pick up an instrument once i settle down in my own house somewhere

    Solo steel string playing has really evolved! There have been unusual techniques springing up for years. Now that there are so many people doing it, composition and arranging has caught up with the technical wow factor. Andy is playing at an extremely high level of musicianship. His rhythmic groove is rock solid. He's a great player and arranger, great dynamics, the whole enchilada! I enjoyed the covers, and especially his own poignant tune at 24:22
