i am pretty sure many of you know this guy already...but anyway, in case you don'r ...... he is amazing !!!!!




Ron.M -> RE: Andy McKee (Jan. 2 2012 19:47:45)

Hey, pretty good stuff Arash..

But let's get this Forum back on track.


F*ck the fancy stuff....THIS is Bulerias guitar playing!

Listen to the applause of his simple thumb driven "solo" piece...

It's because it's El Arte!





[:D]


cheers,

Ron



Elie -> RE: Andy McKee (Jan. 2 2012 19:57:18)

I love Ewan

You can find these guys and more here. Tabs available as well



Munin -> RE: Andy McKee (Jan. 3 2012 9:07:59)

Didn't we have a thread on these guys just a couple weeks ago? Anyway, can't stand them.

For once I agree with Ron even if his response was meant in jest.



odinz -> RE: Andy McKee (Jan. 3 2012 14:12:43)

I dont have any real problems with them, but I am not really a fan either.

I have liked somestuff from Andy actually but...

He and other guitarist just seems sort of overrated, especially technically.
Not that it really matters either.. But I guess opinion can make him amazing, or dull.


That being said, I totally respect him still, hell I would even want to collaborate with him, and I also think he really does deserve to earn money doing what he does, I mean I really really think he deserves that.

He has a talent, thats for sure.

BTW Ron nice video!



Arash -> RE: Andy McKee (Jan. 26 2012 11:26:13)

Man i love stuff like this.
Simple but beautiful. I really don't care about how technically advanced this is. When it comes to this type of music, i really don't care.
I am really thinking about buying one of these Lakewoods and play fingerstyle (in Flamenco free moments[;)])




Ron.M -> RE: Andy McKee (Jan. 26 2012 12:05:07)

Hi Arash,

My favourite open tuning steel string sound is DADGAD as played by Bert Jansch (in 1966).
This is the song that influenced Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin.



(solo bit starts at 1:26)


(Bert's voice takes a bit of getting used to [:D] I like it myself.)

cheers,

Ron



Arash -> RE: Andy McKee (Jan. 26 2012 12:12:36)

Hey Ron, this video is not available in Germany because of the F.ing GEMA organisation. Nearly half of music videos are not available here.

Ricardo -> RE: Andy McKee (Jan. 26 2012 14:11:18)

since we are on off topic acoustic guitar players, here is one of my favorite rock players when was a teen. Watching it now, I still think he has great "soniquete", and this tune in 3/4 mostly (there is a little spot in 4/4) has a lot of cool contra accents and stuff, even though it is mainly rock.




Arash -> RE: Andy McKee (Jan. 26 2012 14:48:52)

Nuno Bettencourt...wasn't he the lead guitarist of a band called extremist or something like that ?

My teen time: Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Vinni moure, Tony MCAlpine, a heavy metal band called Europe (loved them)..... i remember always going to a local record shop and looking for new E-guitar solo lps (or cool metal stuff)...
Sometimes i miss my Ibanez and Mashall Amp...and those little BOSS effect processors on the ground...



ralexander -> RE: Andy McKee (Jan. 26 2012 15:51:48)

Andy is a great guy - I was fortunate to study with him for a weekend, and it was a pleasure seeing him play up close. He is composing some very interesting stuff IMO.

And he can hang with the metal dudes [:D]



Does some pretty badass covers as well:

Man me too if it weren't so hard on the nails. I'd buy a breedlove though. Alex deGrassi (early stuff) and Micheal Hedges are my favorite players in this genre.
