14yrs and i still come back. I bought a guitar learned this song, played it everyday. I only learned three songs and this was one of them. And i have left playing guitar.
That is because Ross is doing most of the percussive and the beats... reason why the song sounds a little more stylish. however, Andy Mckee is doing his tapping and melody which is his arrangement like you said. Both are legends in this style.
It’s super rare to see guys of this type of talent playing together on such a complex piece. I love the original solo version but this duet version is the definitive version for me now it’s so damn beautiful. Don Ross adds so much drama to this track. It really adds some dynamic weight to the piece. Holy god him and Andy are such tight players too. 11/10.
I normally don't feel like Andy's songs need any more musical accompaniment, but this song sounds so much fuller and melodic with the second guitar. Simply amazing.
That was exactly what I think. I checked all versions of Ebon Coast included Spotify and TH-cam, best one is this. I strongly wish a clean record of this version :(

Still crying after all these years. This composition still continues to heal me it’s ways that I’ve never imagined possible. Thank you from the bottom of my soul.
to a fellow guitar player who happens to share the same birthday, HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANDY MCKEE. your music and abilities will continue to inspire(certainly not drown out) my guitar playing :D
This song reminds me of my deceased brother - we used to go sailing out of Marina Del Ray on the weekends. I can feel the ocean and the wind when I listen to Ross and Mckee. Thanks for the vibe!
You hear an insane talent like Andy McKee playing their tunes and they are whole and beautiful. And they hook and send you on wonderful trips. Then you hear the same tunes with the artist plus Don Ross and you think "aaahhh the pieces are all back together".
It's just...A MA ZING!!!! Like many others said...how is that possible that 89 don't like that? THIS IS MUSIC!! See this 2 guys faces while playing!!! THANKS GOD FOR GIFTS LIKE THIS!
This is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. The emotion and character behind it is moving. I can't believe anyone transpired this much emotion into a song, it's a master piece and I can't wait to learn it
This was such an amazing solo piece, one of my favorite Mckee pieces, but Im blown away by Don Ross' contribution. It adds such an amazing new vibe to the song! I can only dream of reaching this level of excellence. -_-
this is simply amazing. i love all of both Don ross & andy's music. this is what inspired me to start playing the guitar and i havn't put it down since.
One of my favorite songs of all time. So beautiful. I can feel the sea lapping at my feet with the rhythm. I can see the dark horizon. Cold wind. Moon's reflection on the waves. As I age and come back to it, this performance gets more and more meaningful to me. It's so wistful and bittersweet. I really cherish it. Thanks for keeping it up all these years.
Why isn’t this in front thousands of people cheering? Oh yeah, the masses don’t love pure artistic expression. Such a lovely composition. Great stuff by two maestros.
With heavy wood, you need spaces to listen - don't listen to it all the time, you need to hear to it once every while, then you can feel it's full blown glory - ABSOLUTELY HEARTMELTING!!!
Since it was first uploaded, I have come back to this video many, many times. Every single time, completely blown away by the incredible craftsmanship and execution of this masterpiece. I found Andy's work, by accident, in 2007. I'm so glad I clicked his name.
Spirit creates the Universe to create Earth, to create life, to create human hearts with minds to create music that the Spirit wants to hear so Spirit can love eternally and be happy. When you are love you can hear and feel love in everything. Music is the language of the heart and a gift from Spirit. Music is a special art that Spirit uses to love us all through beautiful songs.
Why are the top comments not about how awesome these two artists are? :) Because they deserve more than old 'jokes' as comments... You two are amazing! Keep it up!
absolutely jaw-droppingly beautful melodies. These guys are absolute top-class guitar players. I'm lucky enough to have seen them play live and I recommend to anyone that gets the chance to do the same. (and buy the cd's - Support these fantastic artists!!) I'm not their PR agent, just a huge fan :)
I like this one, lovely duet. I needed calm right now, CALM and Beautiful to my spirit. So glad you shared DDJJJEEE, Yes this was what I was talking about. Sooths my female spirit. : -)))))) Peace and Love and thanks to these two greats Don and Andy for sharing their heavenly talents with us. So thrilled to have heard this masterpiece. Peace and Love!!! : -)
This is the best acoustical jam i have ever heard and the jelling between them ..is just awesome,so ppl that do not love music and cannot play will leave negative comments because they cant understand the feeling behind the music! thx for the great song guys!
The Raw emotion is priceless, who else can get that kind of emotion, i cant compaire them but there like the Jimi and Slash of the soothing music of the acustic.
It's been 13 years and still got a goosebumps
14yrs and i still come back. I bought a guitar learned this song, played it everyday. I only learned three songs and this was one of them. And i have left playing guitar.
15 years and comeback, got a new guitar and started practicing again....
2024 still goosebumps
16 years and wow...
I love how Don makes a HUGE impact on the song, yet never gets in the way of what Andy is doing with the melody and harmony. Sign of a true master.
That is because Ross is doing most of the percussive and the beats... reason why the song sounds a little more stylish. however, Andy Mckee is doing his tapping and melody which is his arrangement like you said. Both are legends in this style.
I could listen to this on a beach when the sun is just about to go down, and there's a bonfire, and mojitos....beautiful, and relaxing.
Still find myself coming back for more of this song, at least 10 years later.
I still come to this duet as one of my favorites on the regular. Thanks Andy and Don for sharing your incredible talents!
It's way better than the album version imo.
@@NexSkalaI agree! One of my favorite comments on any video I’ve ever seen are on this video too, “witness the happiest plant on the planet” 😂
If i were the tree in background, i would give fruits instantly :D
It’s super rare to see guys of this type of talent playing together on such a complex piece.

best version, in my opinion.
He also play that version with Sungha Jung,you can check it
That was exactly what I think. I checked all versions of Ebon Coast included Spotify and TH-cam, best one is this. I strongly wish a clean record of this version :(

Don and Andy cut an album with this song and other collaborations
@@DangerousGuitarist yes I knew it, still this version is the best about playing style and much smoother, cleaner play.
Yeah !!!!
Don Ross is a wizard. He compliments and intertwines with Andy so well without overpowering.
Andy is the Protégé and Don Ross is the Masterful sensei
Those of you out there who knew these guys before now---congratulate me on hearing them for the first time today. What a day!
don ross is legendary and andy mckee is untouchable, you put them boh together and you get something unlike anything you've ever seen before
5 stars
Not afraid to admit im moved to tears In a good way listening to true artistic talent that these two have. Pure Art
Still crying after all these years. This composition still continues to heal me it’s ways that I’ve never imagined possible. Thank you from the bottom of my soul.
My ears now know heaven. Beautiful beyond words.
Omg that walkdown harmony gets me every damn time. Makes me shiver
I have not heard anything like this before. This music speaks from the heart, it is pure, unadulterated, original art. I am now an Andy McKee fan!
How could someone possibly dislike this? I would think it to be impossible to find this video, watch it, and then genuinely hate it.
here here. i agree
Its not hate, it’s envy. I wish I could play with Dos Ross as well
@@0wnz0rz888That's fair lol
This is what life is all about. Right here.
Absolutely
to a fellow guitar player who happens to share the same birthday, HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANDY MCKEE. your music and abilities will continue to inspire(certainly not drown out) my guitar playing :D
This song reminds me of my deceased brother - we used to go sailing out of Marina Del Ray on the weekends. I can feel the ocean and the wind when I listen to Ross and Mckee. Thanks for the vibe!
That harmony and resonance at 2:27 and 4:30 is what life is about.
This is two MASTERS at work! What a great duet!!!!
Don ross perfectly complements the masterpiece with his rhythm and harmonics
whenever i feel like i need a hugh i listen to this song and i feel just fine
i get lost into the music just by listening to it. I can only imagine getting lost in the music playing it.
Simply amazing, i just watched this video like 5 times in a row. it never gets old
wow that part 0:44 to 0:55 makes me soooooooo happy, so soulful.
+Jeff Bain I know right? I personally love that part from 0:00 to 5:44. :D
+Mauricio Gatgens well played kind sir, well played.
Andy's breathtaking, chilling melodies are absolutely enhanced by Don's harmonies and backing. Great work guys!
I love it. I could listen to you all day.
You hear an insane talent like Andy McKee playing their tunes and they are whole and beautiful. And they hook and send you on wonderful trips.
Then you hear the same tunes with the artist plus Don Ross and you think "aaahhh the pieces are all back together".
5:45 minutes of pure mad skills, art, love, passion, music at its best
Fantastic, not easy to get 2 guitars sounding so good together
Listening the end of 2020, still the best 👌
Cheers from 2022 and “still the best”
It's just...A MA ZING!!!! Like many others said...how is that possible that 89 don't like that? THIS IS MUSIC!! See this 2 guys faces while playing!!! THANKS GOD FOR GIFTS LIKE THIS!
ooohh man, Andy & Don musics drive me CRAZY!
thumbs up if you feel the same .
J'écoute cette musique en boucle sans jamais m'en lasser. Ce sont vraiment des dieux, y'a pas à chipoter. Pondre une mélodie pareil...Quel talent !!
all good musicians are big.
huh????
@@samsquantch14 I'm guessing he was refering to their weights.
haha absolutely
Steve vai?
That harmonic Don Ross plays is just magical sounding. Just freaking beautiful.
These guys are proof that someone still appreciates GOOD music...ahh so very nice.
My gosh I still love this song after all these years
This is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. The emotion and character behind it is moving. I can't believe anyone transpired this much emotion into a song, it's a master piece and I can't wait to learn it
This was such an amazing solo piece, one of my favorite Mckee pieces, but Im blown away by Don Ross' contribution. It adds such an amazing new vibe to the song! I can only dream of reaching this level of excellence. -_-
The masters at work! This song immediately fixes my mood. Thank you guys for being so great....this is real art.
Still loving this!
It can Bring Joy and Tears simultaneously .
this is simply amazing. i love all of both Don ross & andy's music. this is what inspired me to start playing the guitar and i havn't put it down since.
Andy panned to the right and Don to the left would have been awesome, best acoustic performance ever imo
man,,this song is medicine for me....i listen daily since i was turned on to it....thank you for posting it!!! dave.
This is one of the best melodies i have ever heard. KINGS.
I never get tired of hearing this.
And I play this album in my car most of the time too. ;-)
5/5 again
This is the most amazing thing my ears have had the pleasure of listening to..
Whenever I feel like my ego is a little high, I come here
Its Samwell Tarly with Don Ross.
Samwell Tarly with Hagrid?
wastagwaga That beast of a guitar he plays is definitely Hagrid size lol
One of my favorite songs of all time. So beautiful. I can feel the sea lapping at my feet with the rhythm. I can see the dark horizon. Cold wind. Moon's reflection on the waves.
As I age and come back to it, this performance gets more and more meaningful to me. It's so wistful and bittersweet. I really cherish it. Thanks for keeping it up all these years.
C'est une mélodie auquel j'me lasserai jamais d'écouté!
listening in 2019
since when u can play guitar Sam Tarly??
to be fair, andy does look like sam in this
I can't work it out......I'm overweight and I have a beard...but why I can't play like that????
You also have to have the dick and balls of an elephant.
I have no beard but i can play it
How can you dislike this? It is purely amazing.
Why isn’t this in front thousands of people cheering? Oh yeah, the masses don’t love pure artistic expression. Such a lovely composition. Great stuff by two maestros.
Fuck, I'm never gonna be able to get this stain out of underwear.
Tabs for Dons part?
you can find the tuning on his website I believe, then just slow the video down and figure out by ear. Just my 2 cents if you really wanna learn
invis19 don is in standard tuning capo 2nd fret. correct me if im wrong
Mitch Manta 432htz e
Mitch Manta they are in alternate tuning, drop D or B .
it's standard baritone tuning which is basically 3 octaves down
That must be the luckiest plant in the world
for some reason, this just puts a huge smile on my face... they vibe so well..
With heavy wood, you need spaces to listen - don't listen to it all the time, you need to hear to it once every while, then you can feel it's full blown glory - ABSOLUTELY HEARTMELTING!!!
You know the song is good when the video is captured with a flip phone camera and still gets almost 3m views lol
LOL
Sick as fuck.
I just can't understand why would you post this kind of music in 240p.. its inhumane ...
13 years ago 240p is considered HD at that era😂
well done Andy McKee to put this one together. And Don Ross, what a background. I'm stunned by the two of you.
Since it was first uploaded, I have come back to this video many, many times. Every single time, completely blown away by the incredible craftsmanship and execution of this masterpiece. I found Andy's work, by accident, in 2007. I'm so glad I clicked his name.
I sincerely hope he shaved his head and brought that big old beard back.

I seriously can't get enough of this song
If I were to ever focus on the guitar I know I would have reached enlightenment after being able to jam like this. One of my all time favorites!
A duet between two of the most technical, most emotional guitarists out there. Amazing. Utterly amazing.
Why are the top comments not about how awesome these two artists are? :) Because they deserve more than old 'jokes' as comments... You two are amazing! Keep it up!
one of the best duets ever!
This sound and video are so wonderful. Whoever read this comment I wish you mind health and relaxation.
This truly feels like too much talent packed into one video, and I love it.
I just can't stop hearing this sound!..
Brilliant!
Some of the most mellow sounds ever created. Great arrangement guys, perfect tempo.
Andy is so freakin' precise in his playing. Props to both of these masters.
I love winter when I put these guys on, get the cider going, and watch snow fall. Without them, I hate the damn season.
Amazing having these masters together!!
Immaculate articulation , the more you listen the more surreal
This is a high understanding of soul; A level not too many are familiar with.
Back again !
The way they play and the song itself always touches my soul. Been listening to this vid for many years
absolutely jaw-droppingly beautful melodies. These guys are absolute top-class guitar players. I'm lucky enough to have seen them play live and I recommend to anyone that gets the chance to do the same. (and buy the cd's - Support these fantastic artists!!)

Peace and Love!!! : -)
The time just flies away when you hear this track
Why does it only have 2.7m views after 13yrs? This is insanely insane!!.
I have no idea that two guys playing a guitar can create a very dense coast-like atmosphere around me... this is just sick man...
This is the best acoustical jam i have ever heard and the jelling between them ..is just awesome,so ppl that do not love music and cannot play will leave negative comments because they cant understand the feeling behind the music! thx for the great song guys!
it’s the final 49 seconds for me, so beautiful it makes my heart ache
Sounds amazing, I'm a fan
The riffs these guys can both make are insanely good!
love it, perfect harmony
This is absolute perfection. My favorite version by far
The Raw emotion is priceless, who else can get that kind of emotion, i cant compaire them but there like the Jimi and Slash of the soothing music of the acustic.
