Andy McKee stopped by the Guitar World studio to play his song "Art of Motion" from his new live album called Live Book. Check out this awesome performance and lesson!
The pulloff harmonic technique blew my mind so much when I saw the old candyrat video.. loved it so much i didn't even play at the time! Such a beautiful song by a wicked musician
Love this song in the baritone, it just seems to me that some of the higher notes get drowned out though. Especially at the beginning when the main melody comes in.
Gosh it soo hard :o ive listen to this 10 years ago as a beginner.. so now im balls up i got the guitar tuned and im trying even tho im back where i started ten years ago :o
The baritone really changes the song, almost too much. I'm certain Andy got a bit bored or just wanted to give it a different dynamic. Bad ass song, bad ass player. Andy's Tight Trite Night, Heather's Song, All Laid Back'n Stuff are great tunes as well.
It actually happened at a concert in Portland where "Art of motion" was requested to be played but he had his baritone on him, so he tuned up and went and ended up loving the way it sounded. Super cool to be there and witness it. Every time I see him play this with a baritone it brings a smile to my face.
Step 1: Be named Andy (Andy McKee, Andy James, etc.) Step 2: Be bald (kind of?) (Also Andy McKee, Andy James, etc.) Step 3: Automatically acquire insane guitar skillz Step 4:....... Profit?
The main theme (or what ever it is) reminds me of "I see fire" by Ed Sheeran. It's problably slightly inspired by this song. But it's originial enough that I don't have a problem with it, I'm just saying.
Patrick Robichaud because that not just high price guitar always got very good status on the distance between strings itself and frat board of gap, but also most hand of pressing chords [ lefties use right hand] definitely have much stronger grabbing power than other hand and most of regular people’s. [my pressure figure from my chords hand are 90KG righty hand between 70~75 KG psi btw] just because my Martin HD28 have to change the upper and lower pillow of strings once in 2 years maximum due to tuning pegs tunes too frequently plus vibration make the pace cut it deeper faster than most of other player’s so i asked private custom guitar manufacturer to customize multiple pairs of pillow make it 0.1~0.2cm higher additionally for that consumption pace from frictions and pretty much over 8 hours endless playing per day caused. so pretty much my audiences wanna gives a go but they couldn’t play it well at all for 1.2 gage plus 0.15cm higher make my grabbing much powerful than regular’s caused, find by me to make them looks bad when ever these stupider dupier Drunks Aussies asks me give it a go then devastated their arrogant. sure they needed mum to re-educate em theirs personal manners after they drunk hours. hope it’s answered your questions.
Wow, am I the only one who thinks this sounds disgusting on a Baritone acoustic? It loses all it's definition, there's no longer a dynamic feel that's easily audible with each note and each chord progression. I mean it's not a big deal for the purpose of showcasing the song and techniques, it's just everyone in the comments is saying they love it and to me it sounds terrible in comparison haha. Sounds way nicer when he's breaking the song down and slowly playing each chord progression though On a side note, Andy McKee is an absolute acoustic god
This is the best shit that's ever passed through my ears.
Hell yeah!
Incredible and so musically deep!
makes it look so effortless. phenomenal!
One of my favs, old but gold...

'Art Of Motion' now performed on a baritone-scale guitar. It sounds even more beautiful than the original album recording!
He seems like such an amazing, honest and chill dude. Haha. Would love to hang out with him sometime :p
Incredible performance! Great job!
even Metalheads enjoy nice guitar playing!
damn straight.
this guy is awesome!
really nice piece of music.

A. Guitar Gawd :)
What is wrong with the high register of this video? I cant hear the high strings, the melody is muffled
Μike Yeah same, something is up
The new 'batman 2021' trailer music sounds a bit similar to this intro in slow mo...🤔

I wish it was that easy, I shaved my head and changed my name to Andy but no luck.
Don't forget Timmons... Andy Timmons...
I don't get the tuning. how?
F# A C# G# B e
G# ? Isn't that going to break the string ?
It's only a half note up, no it's not going to break.
Just tune first 3 strings to a minor chord
how the fuck do you do this with your tumbnail it is so hard...
AAAAND there goes my string
Did the same thing bro
Yeah, but can he do Smoke on the Water?

Um you do realize this song came out years before I see fire, right!?
Wasn't sure about that. If so, Ed Sheeran stole it -.-
Sebastian Xxx You just made me sick comparing a real musician to that faux, media molded little child ed sheeran.
the finger in the frey bored dont look that hard it the picking

They probably listen on crappy headphones with no low end.
Agreed. Totally.
