This piece got me through brain surgery recovery a few years ago. I also like to perform it on my classical guitar.
Many memories of hearing my mentor perform it, now i have gotten to share it with various groups--the latest being a group of high schoolers here in Fort Wayne, IN. They loved it!
Tyler, I'm happy if my music could help you navigate such a profound life experience in some way. Music is magic, sometimes!
Every time I hear this song I feel happy! Thanks Andrew York
I'm glad to hear that. Thanks, Hudson!
This song is spring for me. I love it so much!
Thank you very much, Jennifer!
Anyone else thinks that it's high time for Maestro York to record a new video playing this piece (plus intro) on steel string acoustic? I hope it happens
Interesting idea.
@@AndrewYorkguitar Yes, please do! Btw, thanks for inspiring Christie Lenee; she told me that you (and this song in particular) were what motivated her to switch from acting to acoustic performance. That's quite a nice ripple you caused.
Btw2, I remember seeing your article in TNS's Vidya a while back. *fist bump* from one (former) member to another! I used to be a member of several groups in that tier (TNS, OATS, ISPE, Glia, ISI). I grew up in the sticks in Kansas, and joined those groups prior to going into academic philosophy and finding my kindred spirits there. I suspect you would have been a first-rate philosophy student and a fine professor in that field as well.
I really like the steel version. Has a definite "Little Martha" kind of feel.
This is one of those pieces that’ll remind me for ever the reason I love Guitar and music.
Many thanks, Edwin!
The steel strings makes it seem like that is what a sunburst would sound like👏👏👏👏
Thanks, Kathy!
Wow, takes me back to the dominant Windham Hill record days of steel string solo guitar. Certainly has that Michael Hedges feel especially on a Martin D28. Andrew if you ever come to Detroit, I’m there.
Many thanks, That52TeleGuy!
Andrew, seen many folks attempt this, even the great John Williams himself. No disrespect to them, but they really can't quite get there - this is truly yours.
This is my favorite piece and maybe my favorite rendition.
Bill, thank you very much for your kind message!
I think both versions are superb.
Just an amazing piece of music and guitar playing ! Sounds like the Sun rising and announcing " Here I come! Get up ! YOU have a Life to Live !!!
The hammer-ons and pull-offs sound so much better on steel string!
Absolutely; I play both but am surprised by how great this piece sounds on steel string after many years of hearing it on nylon only. Of course having Andrew play it also helps!
This is amazing! I've only heard and played this on a nylon string guitar but it absolutely sounds like it was meant for steel string. So happy this is available!
My thanks to you for playing my music, and for listening/watching my videos!
I Totally Agree!
Pine trees and warm sunlight every time I hear this song that's what comes to mind
I’ve just stumbled across this. The steels do certainly generate a different sound…. I performed this many times in the past. The most memorable was on the QE2 where the audience was speechless with what they heard… (now I’m showing my age). Thank you Andrew for producing such amazing music…
My thanks to you for supporting my music, Anthony!
At 1:40, that's Metheny- Mays's Phase Dance. Terrific composition.
wait are you saying he paraphrased someone else's work? I can play only 2 minutes of this song, and I don't know much about it.
Haha I heard the same thing.
I am barely an adult and currently studying! I also recently started learning classical guitar under the guidance of a terrific musician. He was my introduction to you and I must say I have been listening to your songs for quite a while now! I had yet to find music suitable for studying yet yours seems to do wonders! It's not quite like classical where it distracts you constantly but not boring like lofi music. Its a whole genre on its own! Most songs have predictable harmony and melody and its exactly what i need. Ought to be stated, I have Adhd and your music is one more tool i acquired for my studies. Thank you Andrew your music is of huge help to me!
Dear Raccoonator, thanks for your comment, I'm very glad to hear my music is helping you both musically and personally. I'm delighted to know that, and thanks for telling me!
Hands work with a thousand movements- creativity will outlive the sword.
Two guitar songs changed my life - Tango en Skai and Sunburst.
Same! Great pieces!
Amazing !! i feel like it sounds even better with this guitar
Thank you, Jean!
Beautiful song. I still share this one with others and am practicing it currently.
Wonderful!
Watching the composer play his own piece gives you what really the composer intended. It just adds specific information about the speed and the articulation. I do not know many examples, but Horowitz was a performer that was able to surpass Rachmaninoff (and he totally approved).
Thank you very much for your beautiful comment, True Conextion Music!
Masterpiece 🎸
Many thanks, Yoshi!
What a beautiful gift. Thank you.
One of the best compositions for acoustic guitar written in the last decades of the 20th century and played very soulful, chapeau!
Beautifully done.
Many thanks, John!
The song of my college entrance examination!
我感觉这首歌在钢弦上似乎更好听
Just a gorgeous rendition.
What a player and composer .I have never come across him before.Thanks for posting.
You are a made man when maestro plays your song
I asked an artificial intelligence to tell me some of the best songs on acoustic guitars from the 90s, and so I got here. This song is invigorating!
Galzeki, nice to know AI has a sense of aesthetics!
Very beautiful song ever
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you very much, Pai-Nai-Kor-Dai!
Simply gorgeous. It's a treasure.
Ive been trying to play this for a month now, cant seem to get the part at 2:30, its amazing how easy he makes it look. Thanks for another amazing song Andrew!
That part and the one immediately before it are a nightmare to play at his pace. Somedays I just play them over and over until I can hear and feel a SLIGHT improvement. I've been at it for 8 years and I'm still definitely not as good as he is.
wow 8 years!
this really makes me happy
wow awesome tune on steel strings!! thanks for sharing this!
A real feel good piece.
Thank you Andrew York from Australia !
Outstanding!!!!
Waaaaaooooooooooo!!!! Great compo!!!
wow. Never heard it on steel string. Sounds great! Sunburst along, with Django's improvisation No.2, is my favorite composition for acoustic guitar.
...The slow bits are harder to play than the fast bits wtf - I've been practicing for the last 6 months. I've almost got it but wow this piece is hard.
Are you using tablature? (If so I would absolutely love to know where you found it)
@@MustashBoyeTheOneAndOnly Yeah, I'm using this one: www.classclef.com/pdf/Sunburst%20by%20Andrew%20York.pdf
One of my favorite pieces, sounds great on steel-stringed guitar!
After 2 years of practice I finally managed to play this piece all the way through without mistakes
Congratulations, Rhyffraff. Thanks for playing my music.
I Love this one 💕💕💕
Thank you, lori!
beautiful love
Thank you very much, Mauricio!
Very special, for sure
Thank you very much!
Awesome Andrew !! I simply love Sunburst. Thanks for signing on my Sunburst music sheet! Hope to see you in person one day! Warmest wishes from Kevin Loh (Singapore)
Kevin: what is the tuning here? (sorry I'm being lazy here...)
Qpidon Hey Pascal, here you go D,A,D,G,B,D
Wow...I never knew Sunburst was composed on the steel string. Thanks for sharing Andrew
A great thing about this tune is that it sounds like an American folk tune (maybe the initial writing on steel string helped bring that out) even if it may be typified as a piece of classical music in construction/composition. A lot of the Spanish guitar repertoire is rooted in compositions inspired by Spanish folk music c.1900. In a tune like this, York is doing something that for American music today. Or at least that's what my sensibility tells me, as if this tune is almost something like Leo Kottke or Ralph Towner meets Bach. It is also as imaginative as his Bob Marley (reggae) meets Bob Marley (Scrooge) 'Marley's Ghost' tune in its conception, even if a 'sunnier' tune! I enjoy hearing York's compositions. I wonder if he will look a bit more towards American folk music for inspiration "again", whether by instinct or intent. It could perhaps have as interesting results as something like Sharon Isbin's American Landscapes project or even better, in a solo guitar context.
impeccable piece. OWEN McGee, i loved your eloquent and informed opinion. I would love to correspond with you. I think i could further expand my repertoire and music appreciation with more of your musings. I volley Hector Ivan Garcia as our first foray. Cheers and blessings!
Wow! I was listening this song back back in the 90's on William's albums and your video showing your songs. You played it nylon then. This is the first I've ever heard it on steel and I think it songs way better than either you Williams playing it back then. Love that piece.
..loved the intro Jubilation, you did on nylon as well. Would love to hear that on steel
WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!
Awesome piece and guitar playing! All thumbs up!:)
The key to playing the guitar at this level is economy of movement. No thrashing, no bashing.
One of 'em, anyway. That and practice, practice, practice. Add to that, uncanny gifting going in.
Great harmony and melody.
Amazing. Brilliant.
Beautiful.
Какая шевелюра здесь. Эх годы, годы!
This should have way more likes.
Thank would be nice, John!
Очень классно на металле звучит ! Спасибо за композицию ! Гениально !
Makes you want to dance!
Thanks for sharing this, Andrew! Glad I subscribed to your channel--and that I happened to check my subscriptions today. :)
Fantastic!!!
Thanks
す、す、すすすすす素晴らしい動画をありがとうございます(*˘︶˘*).。.:*♡素晴らしい演奏をありがとうございます!!!感謝してます!
Many thanks for your beautiful comment, 京子-san!
What grade level do you like rank your piece "Sunburst", really love it and im interested in playing it
Thank you, Dinith. I don’t know grade levels, but I consider it as a difficult rating.
Hey Andrew, what is your favorite interpretation of Sunburst not played by yourself nor John Williams?
素晴らしい!!、!(・・;⚡👼様では?素晴らしい演奏をありがとうございます(*˘︶˘*).。.:*♡
Many thanks, 京子-san!
Wow brother that was something else
love to play this one...until that last bit lol
The difference between steel and nylon is obvious but it's not a very different experience for the listener - it's just a great composition.
My professor just assigned me this piece for my senior recital. Would you recommend I learn it on my steel string ?
Conrad, not necessarily, the classical world knows it much better on nylon, but that doesn't matter. Try it on both and choose the one you like best.
@@AndrewYorkguitar thank you so much for the reply! I actually started off as a classical major but around my junior year converted to freestyle learning stuff like Michael hedges and Andy McKee. My professor ( Thomas Kikta) assigned this to me as a nylon selection, he still wants to me to do at least 3 pieces on nylon before finishing my recital with my steel string. I must say I am thrilled that I am allowed to do this piece for my classical section of the recital. Im not the biggest fan of classical music but this piece is absolutely gorgeous!!
0:36 that's me when playing this song
Lovely, especially on steel strings! By the way, it’s not a “song;” it’s an instrumental piece. A song is, er, sung! 😀🎼
Thank you very much, Grandma Moses!
@@AndrewYorkguitar my pleasure! Cecilia S has a darned good go at this cracking piece too! 🎸😃
Maestro York, how do you switch to steel string without tearing up your nails? (I miss playing steel string cause of that...I play with pick from time to time though not the same...)
Steve, I'm lucky to have very hard nails, so the amount of wear on my nails was not significant when I played steel string.
@@AndrewYorkguitar thank you! You're very blessed. Thank you for your beautiful music.
Such an amazing piece! Which type of Martin is that, a D-18 or D-28? I'd love to hear the story about how you acquired it and came to write this piece on it!
Matt, thank you for your kind message. It's a D-28. Aah, so many stories. One day I'll have to write them down.
Wow, great composition and all time favourite.
this version sounded more original on an acoustic guitar compared to classical guitar.
Omg luv 😍
OK so im able to play it but could someone tell me the tempo he plays with ?? (So i can practice at the same speed as him) ☆
2:16 🤯
amei ❤❤❤❤ nota 999999999999999999
Thanks, Augusto!
Homage to Pat Metheny at 1:39
Yeah first time I heard it I immediately thought of Phase Dance too!
Que mas se puede pedir!!
Sounds great on Nylon or steel. I heard John Williams playing this, did you compose this song?
I love this piece it has everything :) sorry for my ignorance, I just googled it, amazing composition
What you don't know about this guy is that he is the first person in the world to have had a brain transplant-ten of them, in fact.
He had ten mice brains implanted into the tips of his fingers and he makes the areas between frets smell of different cheeses so his fingers move there by instinct. For you and me this is impossible.
Kamakiri Sassorichan that's very convoluted, but, yes.
Eight full brains. Two Cerebellums (for movement and balance). At least, that's what was reported in the New England Journal of Guitarist Folklore Medicine. True story.
😁😁
It's doable. For me at least, after ten years of playing this piece + Jubilation ten times a day.
No mice involved. I think. Wonderful piece though, TOTALLY worth all the effort.
I would have clicked to reply to this sooner but I only have one mouse
Que belleza
🥰😘😘😘😘
What year Martin is that he 's playing so well?Looks like a D-28
What is is the strings in what set up plz, Super it’s like church bells rising the sun !
All he has to do is change to steel string and he'll be the greatest acoustic player of all time.
He could if he wnted to - it's more a matter of artistic choice and personal temperament that governs what he does - what he's capable of technically seems so second nature that it's just the vehicle he rides into whatever level of musical stratosphere he wants to inhabit.
素晴らしい曲です!
Thank you very much!
I have always loved steel strings more than nylon!
I can play 2 minutes of this lmao
Is that a D 28? Can anybody tell?
Ivo Hernandez no fancy inlays, so it is possible. Either a D28 or a D18
Ivo, it is a Martin D28 from 1957. Andrew received it at age 6 from his father.
@@AnnetteYork the guitar was 7 years old when Andrew received this beautiful D-28. Andrew was born in 58, me too. What a beautiful Martin and gift from his Dad.🙏

@@stupid_sleazoid2 thx 🙏

+Nicolas Dark DADGBD
What tuning is this?
Double dropped D - DADgbd
is that a martin?
+Taylor sounds beautiful doesn't it?
+Taylor pretty ironic since you're a "Taylor" huh? Hahahah
+Cole P I thought the same thing haha
Actually, it sounded STRANGE on nylons. This one is meant for steel
