I was just referring to how honest his music is. I have listened to about 20 of his songs and with each one I can connect deeper and deeper.

P.S. I had already watched Don and could easily see the huge draw Andy took, but Don doesn't seem to play with the passion that Andy does. Obviously this is my opinion and is subjective to my point of view. It is more than likely that there are people out there that connect with Don better and feel his passion more intensely.]]> Opinions and Polls Nexion https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/andy-mckee/#post-216666 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/andy-mckee/#post-216638 Mon, 25 Dec 2006 20:56:37 +0000 This guy is revolutionary!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f27megLOleQ&mode=related&search= Not to downplay his ability. I know it must have taken years of practice to get as good as he is, however, he's not nearly the first person to play this way nor is he a pioneer of any sort. Google Don Ross, Michael Hedges or Adrian Legg. Don Ross is a guy who never got his due. He's been playing in this manner for many many years. Now given that these guys don't do a lot of two handed tapping, they opened up the possibilities. The "trick" to this style of playing is open tuning. Imagine how it would sound if you slapped a guitar in standard tuning. Not very musical. With an open tuning, it allows for some leeway in regards to flubbing it up. You can hit an unintentional note and still be in key. Cool. Now of course making all this really musical and diplaying your own style is where it really gets challenging.

This guy is revolutionary!!! You can really tell when a musician has made the connection and is truely playing something honest from the soul, rather than putting on a show.

By the way, what is he playing in this song?
