Actually, Andy Mckee wrote that and plays it much better.

My bandmate showed this to me. This is some wild playing. Looks neat, and sounds pretty good. This guy has to have some strong hands to perfectly execute all that acoustic tapping.

Also, if you like fingerstyle acoustic then http://www.candyrat.com/artists/AntoineDuFour/Development/, because I think he's even better than Andy in many ways.

Justin King and Trace Bundy are my favorites though.

Posted by: Guitar Master123 Feb 20 2007, 07:18 PM

err... how come it says the Andy McKee thread and I didn't put it there?

Posted by: InstruMental Case Feb 20 2007, 11:47 PM

Doug made a seperate Andy McKee post not knowing that this one was about him, so I merged his post with this one, and added that to the description so people would know.

Posted by: Guitar Master123 Feb 21 2007, 12:19 AM

Wait, you can do that!?!

Posted by: InstruMental Case Feb 21 2007, 12:40 AM

Yes, I'm modding and helping keep this forum rolling for Kris.

When you see something like http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=JsD6uEZsIsU you truely relize how beautiful music is and you learn to appreciate it . Whether your a shredder, blues master, rocker , metal man , country boy , acoustic wizard, I think we all can learn to love music like this.

Posted by: Iluha Sep 18 2007, 03:33 AM

Yeah, it's one of my favourite acoustical pieces, it's just pure emotion.

Posted by: The Uncreator Sep 18 2007, 06:50 AM

Posted by: Eat-Sleep-andJam Sep 18 2007, 07:38 AM

Hey All ! Glad you like him , you know I just think its really easy listening thats why I posted it. The song Rylynn was actually about a little girl who was friends with andy's family that unexpectedly died. Her name, Rylynn.

Posted by: Eat-Sleep-andJam Sep 18 2007, 10:52 AM

I dont mean to be rude but , YOU SUCK

Posted by: Hungus Sep 18 2007, 03:03 PM

Good stuff, I have really been looking for some good acoustic stuff for awhile.



Sorta off topic but does anyone know of any artists that stuff similar to Opeths mellow interludes?

Posted by: GroovinMastiff Sep 18 2007, 03:27 PM

Hey man, thanks for pointing this out. I've never heard of him until now, and I love it! I just have to get his albums now

Posted by: InstruMental Case Sep 18 2007, 05:28 PM

His new album just came out, as well as a DVD featuring Andy and Antoine DuFour. You can find them at candyrat.com.

beautiful man!!! thanks for sharing!!!

Brand new video of a track off Andy's new album...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSnWhsmlGec

Posted by: fkalich Sep 20 2007, 10:36 AM

Pretty hypnotic, I mean in a good way. Kind of put me in a bit of a trance. Sounded like he was using a wah at first, but I don't think I saw one. Was he using a phase shifter, or something like that, or does he just play like that. Really sort of floats I think, can sting, but still always floating.

Posted by: fkalich Sep 20 2007, 11:41 AM

he's great. i had my metronome on. I listened to about half his song and you know, he sounded good against the metronome. then I changed the rate of the metronome and you know, he still sounded good against the metronome. it is a basic beat, bass snare bass snare. but his playing sounds good against the metronome, no matter what tempo I set it at. or at least that was how I felt.

Posted by: Andrew Cockburn Sep 20 2007, 06:11 PM

Beautiful ...

Posted by: The Uncreator Sep 21 2007, 03:14 AM

No better words for it

Posted by: Robin Sep 21 2007, 03:31 AM

Yeah, phaser or flanger or something.

I think the studio version is alot better though, he sings and plays so extremely good on the studio version.
The sound is also excellent.

Posted by: Eat-Sleep-andJam Sep 21 2007, 04:31 AM

I love that song aswell. I found it on youtube a couple days ago . Thanks for posting

Posted by: misterj Sep 22 2007, 12:25 AM

actually, i'm pretty sure thats a uni-vibe. i get tones just like that with mine.

Posted by: InstruMental Case Sep 26 2007, 09:06 AM

Yet another new McKee song..."http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mYm4FhGauA".

I assume it's about Japanese fingerstyle guitarist Isato Nakagawa:

Posted by: coffeeman Sep 26 2007, 02:37 PM

It would be nice to have a In the style of Andy Mckee lesson.

I love his version of Africa.

Posted by: MattW Nov 5 2007, 07:53 PM

Nice interview, really interesting. I'm off to see Andy supporting Tommy Emmanuel in Sheffield on Thursday, can't wait!

(And on a side note, the 'Guitars Suck' videos are legendary around my neck of the woods )

Awesome thanks for the link!!!

Posted by: wylde_guitar Apr 25 2008, 03:44 PM

Well I was messing around on youtube and I ran into this guy and was impressed to say the least. He plays a slap acoustic with harmonics, and he just is crazy. It's incredibly peaceful and should be played as music for every elevator in the world!

Posted by: The Uncreator Apr 25 2008, 03:46 PM

Yeah, There are countless threads on him here, He has been brought up many times.

That being said, He is one of the most amazing guitarists i have ever seen, For My Father and Rylynn are beyond all measurement.

Posted by: Mark. Apr 25 2008, 04:02 PM

Yeah I truely love Andy McKee, I got all his CD's and I'm gonna see him live this summer!!

Posted by: coffeeman Apr 25 2008, 04:16 PM

Yeap we have a lot of threads of Andy , but I guess we never get tired , he is really amazing.

Posted by: kaznie_NL Apr 25 2008, 04:17 PM

Yep, he's very very good!

Posted by: Hisham Al-Sanea Apr 25 2008, 07:34 PM

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Apr 25 2008, 09:15 PM

Toto's cover and Bjork's cover are amazing.

Posted by: Duncan Apr 26 2008, 12:35 AM

Amazing,and I never seen that instrument in the second song.Beautiful

Posted by: Pablo Vazquez Apr 26 2008, 10:28 PM

Yeah!! That's really amazing!

Posted by: Zizi Top Apr 26 2008, 10:34 PM

that's so incredible, i love the drifting song, first time i've listened to him was like 4-5 months ago, i was really amazed

Posted by: Matt23 May 13 2008, 06:48 PM

I'm ashamed I'd never heard of Andy Mckee before this topic. He's an amamzing guitarist and Drifting is such a brilliant song. Thanks Guitar Master 123 for starting this topic.

Posted by: stratman33 May 14 2008, 12:34 AM
