This is outstanding. Brilliant rendition of an amazing piece of music from an extraordinary composer.

Beautiful job Andy!

Awesome

Wow

I love it! I've never seen this done.

well done

This is tommy at his best!

awesome , great tribute to a phenomenal talent,

"Ladies and gentleman....the acoustic guitar..." - Michael Hedges. (doing a rendition of Buffalo Stance!)

Been mesmerised by this composition ever since it was uploaded to CandyRat back in 2008. It's the subtle things. I even love the string muting with forearm in the beginning. Michael Hedges would've loved this.

RIP Cliff Edwards.

WTF, is he playing to an empty bar? Not a f*cling sound from the crowd?? What's wrong with people??? Oh wait, they were all probably too busy videoing on their cells, sigh. Punks.

I've been playing guitar for almost 50 years, I've seen and drooled over some of the most amazingly original & talented guitar players in music history . . . . . . and for the life of me, I simply cannot comprehend HOW Trevor is able to detune & retune FLAWLESSLY & AT TEMPO within a song LIVE. I sincerely believe this is possibly the most difficult playing I've ever witnessed.

bravissimi .......

Every player on Candyrat thinks they're Michael Hedges.

Suonata benino cantata male ..

What’s with the flamboyant hand gestures?

I saw Michael three live times, including the Live on the Double Planet tour. So incredible. Just amazing. We listen to him all the time.

you nailed it, man! A Michael Hedges cover, vow! Congrats

Damn son. That was nicely done.

Muy gracioso 3 mins de afinación e instroduccion jejejje

That was incredible brother. Truly incredible. I’ve loved his music for a long time and was lucky enough to see him in the early 90’s but this is the first rendition that I’ve heard that truly did it justice.

Such an incredible version, Andy...very well done! I've been listening to Micheal Hedges since the early 90's...he would be so proud to see that you were able to pull this off so well.

I know the piece pretty well, and that was an EXCELLENT tribute to such an influential artist. Hedges like all great musicians who've left this world are not really dead, they have simply gone on to another place to play and let others in the universe enjoy their sounds! Loved it, and I thank you for it! RIP Michael Hedges.😊

It is clear that Andy took Hedges as a musical mentor. They both are incredible guitarists. So inspirational!

genius

Boring..

You sir are a loser..

Thank You Andy - perfect done😎 we are missing Mikel so much …

I had the pleasure of seeing Michael in concert many times…even sat with his mom at a concert in Arizona… guitarist from another planet!!!!

Non ho parole, per descrivere quello che emani e trasmetti. Unico

Franco sei unico , ci regali emozioni .... bravissimi..

How can you not know Michael Hedges . Look for some stuff he did early with Leo Kotke .

Andy use to come into guitar world overland Park way back In the day. I was a sales guy. He would play and you just knew he was something special. Congratulations on all your success Andy. 🙌

Micheal would sit back and watch and love this.

Bravo!

I booked Michael to play my college back in 1989. S Standing room only show. My dad is a jazz musician and was spellbound. So cool.

OMG!!!! This song is in a lot of my memories because it was part of a compilation cd that my dad would play very often. I never knew the title or the composer, and now, by accident, I finally know!!

I suspect we were of the same era and age, and to hear the 'Dark Side of Windham Hill', as one great pianist told me as I was trying to replicate his style, was a moment when the guitar became a different instrument. Well done for keeping his spirit alive; there are many I believe that will never forget what he introduced and >just try< to replicate his amazing talent. You have succeeded in capturing that talent and spirit - I am joyous in seeing your video tonight

Ganz, ganz toll! One of my favorite YT videos.

Nailed it! And the best song and most deeply emotional Michael ever composed. Well done sir !

Keep going buddy! Your better that they give you credit for !

Grandissimo Franco Morone!!!

I like the mysterious sound start from 2:15

Thank goodness somebody recorded this performance!

That was outstanding man. I got turned on to Michael Hedges in 1984 when I was in the USAF. That really brought me.back..Thanks

Kudos to Andy for making sure that people understand the pure genius of Michael Hedges. Beautifully interpreted and played but (and I'm sure Andy would agree) it doesn't touch how Michael used to play it. Also worth noting is that Michael Hedges was a composer first and then a guitarist, and despite this his pickup and stage electronics setup was way ahead of its time. He used a Sunrise sound-hole pickup and a FRAPS under bridge pickup. He took the signal from each pickup and ran them through separate post processing - it was amazing in the 1980s and would still work beautifully today.

"And that was a problem for me." With one sentence you earned my respect.

While I appreciate Andy greatly, I think he'll be the first to say, this paled in comparison to Michael's version.

i was lisened in Kastav, guitar festival live. Amazing!
