Andecy by Andrew York

[@CearaQC]

This tune speaks to me of someone in a new place, having a walk. He/she is experiencing new things. Some times thinking about something... a memory.... a ponder... asking "what if." And other times thinking about nothing. Simply enjoying the moment. Thank you so much for posting. :D

[@togue777]

This is probably the best version Ive seen of this beautiful song and Ive seen quite a few. The voicings are imaculate. I should think Andrew York would be flattered. Im stunned.

[@hackerguitar]

What a wonderful reading of this piece.

[@addaiaguitar]

Brillian!! 5 stars. Yet another Andrew York piece to learn!! What a wonderful Smallman! Great performance.

[@sammu5]

Hi Jean-Pierre and Lil! Thanks for watching and for the excellent comment! Regards, sam :-)

[@sammu5]

Hi gallito1010! Andrew York's pieces sit well under the fingers and are a pleasure to play - so well worth the practise! Thanks and best wishes, sam :-)

[@Harky1951]

Such a perfect match with the pictures to the mood. The calm before the storm. The fingers dancing on the churning waters. The serene aftermath. All done with such precision and perfect timing. You make it look so effortless. This is my favorite one yet. Smiles to you and Josie. Well done. Pamela

[@sammu5]

Thanks for listening! Regards, sam :-)

[@franksabatino7576]

Thanks Samantha for this bold, exhilarating version of Andrew York's masterpiece. It takes me to the Andes.

[@sammu5]

Dear Sabine! I'm so happy you like this. I'm also quite envious that you have seen Andrew York live! Wow! That's on my list of things to do.... Thanks for all those stars! Best, sam :-D

[@LopakaDeb]

Loved it! So very nice to listen to on this winter night...

[@kateb6866]

What a beautiful interpretation ❤️thank you 🙏🏻

[@muzzers1]

We were just about to fly out of the door this morning when I heard a tune on Classic FM which stopped me in my tracks - Andecy! Never heard it, of it or of Andrew York before. I think they said it was played by Sharon Lisbon ? We got back from our trip, straight on You Tube to find it and found Sam playing it - it is as captivating as I felt it was this morning. Played beautifully and watching has shown me it is more intricate than I realised. Thanks Sam - your post is on my favourites now.

[@sammu5]

Hi Vernon! Thanks for listening, I am very pleased with those stars! Best wishes, sam :-)

[@muzzers1]

I'm sorry - I am hooked. Just listened again and cannot believe just how much melody and backing you can tease out of a single instrument at one time. This is really beautiful and I love the way your serenity wavers for just an instant at about 1.53!

[@sammu5]

Hi Daniel! I'm surprised how many people don't know this piece because it's really great! One of the great things about YT is finding new music. Thanks for commenting. Best, sam :-D

[@sammu5]

Hi Svilen! I think you would really enjoying playing Andrew York's music. It's very enjoyable to play! Thanks for watching, sam :-)

[@blackcat9notts]

I have only just discovered Samantha Muir and I am so glad I did. Since hearing you play "Se Ela Perguntar" I have been watching your videos and I love your style of playing and your interpretation. This rendition of Andecy is something I now keep watching over and over again. It is wonderful, Thank You.

[@stringbound]

Hello Sam, this is a very beautyful rendition of this song. Could listen to this over and over again. Thanks for sharing. Keep on saving the world.

[@sammu5]

Hi Steve, thanks for listening! Best, sam :-)

[@sammu5]

Hi GaleoDeus! Thanks for listening. I use d'Addario Normal Tension J45 strings. Best wishes, sam :-)

[@KarlheinzFey]

Wonderful piece, brilliantly played! I like it very much! Congrats and 5*!

[@PamRam228]

Wow. If I were to close my eyes and listen to you play this piece I'd think it was Andrew York himself. Sounds so much like the original which is my favorite piece. Reminds me of being in Spain in a little villa with the sun shining on a beautiful breezy day. You're great!

[@walterls]

Beautifully done!

[@musicusblau]

Bravo! That´s a very good performance. You have an excellent technique! I have enjoyed it very much. It´s up to my favorites and all the stars for you!

That was lovely. I heard him play this piece on the recent International Guitar Night tour. You play it beautifully - with great skill and heart.

[@Per-Olovkindgren]

Dear Sam. This is very, very nice! I like York's music but this is new to me. I have to keep up with all the great music around these days :) Thank you for showing this piece and also how to play it! Hugs from Sweden, Per-Olov

[@sammu5]

Hi Joe! Thanks for your nice comment! :-sam

[@ArnaudF92]

Very nice, this is the first time , I heard this piece, and it is difficult not to go back and play it again. I also see a perfect and precise playing, and a right interprétation (as in the prelude N°1 of Villa lobos). (I am not a professionnal guitar player , as I only play for my pleasure ..) Do you know where to buy the this sheet of music ? I am really interested to play it myself

[@spspsp45]

Love this piece ,your playing is flawless ,thanks for sharing

[@SueTrickey]

[@stevenarcher3845]

[@SamMuirUkulele]

Thanks!

[@roborob767]

Very nice.. very well played

[@tarkineWild]

Andrew's compositions are nearly always beautiful and challenging and this one is no exception You tackle this piece with such polish and class leaving me only one choice...5 worthy stars Regards: Lesley

[@MguitarL]

My favourite Andrew York piece - beautifully played, Sam! I love the relaxed swing it has - reminds me of sitting on the back of an elephant (not a pig) swaying through the jungle... Sweet smiley pig, yes... looks as though he might have a relaxed swaying gait... :-)Maria

[@tamada73]

Beautiful performance!!

[@bdclassicalguitarist]

You capture the movement of the music beautifully, Sam. And you're right, the pig has a nice smile. - Ben

[@nikosz66]

Nice choice of music Thanks for posting

[@gallito1010]

[@kevinlohguitar]

[@angelodinunzio1861]

[@Izegrim59]

beautiful...thx

[@sguitar]

Hey Sam, really cool piece and relax and great playing!! Love it!! Sarah :-)

[@sammu5]

Hi Maria! I wonder if Andrew York had that in mind when he wrote this! I've always thought of this as a travelling piece. I used to listen to it on my discman when I was on the train going up to the RCM! Thanks for watching and best wishes, sam :-D

[@sammu5]

@MrRspaulding Thanks for your comment. My guitar is a Greg Smallman and Sons 2007. :-sam

[@Franciscotama]

Hi Samantha, is a beautiful interpretation. I would ask a question. I have searched this score, but here in Chile in very complicated find, then my questions is if there is possibility of a scanner of the music, please! congratulations very nice play guitar. ah! excuse my English. Bye!!!

[@ArnaudF92]

Very nice, this is the first time , I heard this piece, and it is difficult not to go back and play it again. I also see a perfect and precise playing, and a right interprétation (as in the prelude N°1 of Villa lobos). (I am not a professionnal guitar player , as I only play for my pleasure ..) I liked very much you video , keep playing !!! Do you know where to buy the this sheet of music ? I am really interested to play it myself

[@sammu5]

Hi Jim! I used to listen to this piece when I was travelling up to London on the train so I agree about the "travelling" quality. Thanks for the tip about Steve Hackett. I'll check him out! Best wishes, sam :-D

[@rvheard]

This is a brilliant performance. You should be very proud. I hope to be as talented, some day.

[@sammu5]

Hi Andi, I really recommend checking out more of Andrew York's music because he is great! Thanks for listening. Best, sam :-D

[@kirby0101]

Wow that was perfect! I've been playing that song not quite right for the past 15 years. I'm going to be studying this video frame by frame. If you can play the J.S. Bach Allegro from Andrew York's Perfect Sky album, please make a video of that too!!!

[@sammu5]

Hi Athan! Thanks for listening and also the bonus stars, :-D sam

[@sammu5]

Hi Kristian! Glad you like the Smallman! I think you would enjoy playing Andecy - it's not nearly so hard as Sunburst! Regards, sam :-D

[@jimguitarfan]

Lovely playing, Sam. The piece has a sort of "travelling" quality to it.....not quite sure what I mean by that, though,just a feel to the music, I guess. I wasn't familiar with Andrew York, but I'll check out some more of his music. Have you listened to any of Steve Hackett's classical guitar-based albums at all? If you get a chance,you you might find some nice pieces to re-interpret and post :-) All the best and thanks for the videos. Jim

[@sonateulpia]

Très belle interprétation je l’avais écoutée par Sharon Isbin je l’ai travaillée et heureuse de pouvoir faire tourner cette jolie pièce avec ma guitare

[@amccann7]

Lovely. i really admire Andrew York's compositions. Do you also play "Sunburst"?

[@sammu5]

@rvheard Thanks for comment. Best wishes for 2010, sam :-)

[@sammu5]

Hi Ben! Glad you appreciate the pig too! And thanks for listening! Best, sam :-D

[@DavidUMusic]

HI there, great playing. I like the sound you produce, very clean. Nice nice. Now, i would like to know if you happen to have the music sheet for this song, I've been trying to find it, but is quite hard. Thx for your your music and if you could help me getting the papers or sending them to me through the web. Thx again and congratz

[@sammu5]

@geodemetri Thanks for watching! :-sam

[@LocoPCtheoneandonly]

Great theme, flawlesly interpreted I love the passages at 1:45 and 1:57 (a harmonic at the end would have been a nice addition)

[@davepowell7168]

Agreed.

[@sammu5]

Hi Sarah! Thanks for your kind comment on Andecy. Sorry about the late reply! Regards, sam :-)

[@halsamuelson3820]

Great cover! What’s the tuning if you don’t mind sounds like a drop e.

[@ELFonzo30]

hal samuelson it’s drop D tuning in a minor

[@contemporaryclassicalguita8355]

Samantha I am having a hard time playing this piece. Following the notes on the sheet music isnt giving me that beautiful syncopation. Any suggestions? Keep trying? Laird

[@mrgregcat]

Samantha, why can't I get into your website? I'd like to know the made of the guitar you're playing. Is it a Bull?

[@sammu5]

Thanks Kevin! It's a great piece! :-D sam
