Andrew Gorny - Rather Walk With You

[@guitarallday]

This song makes me happy

[@DreamersEmpire]

I posted this at Erik Mongrains forum and he said .. "Heh that's not bad at all actually.". Erik is very careful about handing out compliments, if your music isn't musical he will not like it and let you know. So, I think this is a nice compliment from another incredible guitarist.

December 31, 2023. Still gives me some chills to hear this piece of excellence. Happy new year!

[@AndrewGorny]

It's Michael Hedges birthday go listen to HIM lol!!! But anyway this song is actually released finally on Obsevations

[@Oatneil1]

this and a dying angel were so transformative musically for me as a teen. Thank you.

[@AndrewKennyBelfast]

Magical-alot of images flash through my head as i listen.

[@MetalAddict247]

Man Andrew I think Ive been a fan of yours for a good year but I still listen to your stuff more than any metal now, its just so good! Congrats!

[@MisterWanksteen]

One of my favorites from you so far. The sound you get from those open strings reminds me of Michael Hedges. I really like the phrasing too. You've come a long way, Mr. Gorny.

[@kdunne916]

creatively brilliant and technically deft, this is definitely some great stuff that is underappreciated. keep it up, and dont let all the comparisons ppl make get to you, this style is definitely original and has a disposition all your own.

[@TrentHendrix]

This is great, the sound is beautiful. You added me on myspace today, and your music was fantastic...

[@johonaaei]

haha I can hear those Pat Metheny styled key changes (or chord progressions-- I don't exactly know the technicalities) that make me smile. I like. Your music never ceases to amaze. -Somebody that is very hard to please.

[@DSKim-ej5uf]

wonderful! very good! amazing!

[@RLSguitar]

Excellent contrapuntal work... Five stars!

[@heyyitsRJ]

i'm still listening to this in 2014

[@maklokiper]

insanely beautiful !!!!!

[@galensmith]

This is an incredible performance!

[@DreamersEmpire]

Wow! I discovered your music looking for Hedges "Hot Type" and now seeing this, well I'm amazed. This is the same way I discovered Erik Mongrain and Giovanni Baglioni and you guys are just awesome. Can't wait to watch more of your stuff, but this tune truly blew me away.

[@ehhhhhhhhhh]

Love your videos so much, thank you!

[@iamthebyron]

Nice job, the Hedges influence is evident...and a great influence to have! Keep it up.

[@TruckerSteve]

This brought a tear to my eye..Very beautiful ..New subscriber here.

[@Ccbroo]

a masterpiece only a real genious could make

[@Blateyy]

Dude that was Awesome!!!

[@kevinthebeagle]

great playing, a really innovative and interesting style. beautiful

[@fusion87]

You are the number one.. your talent is impressionant.. you will play on a park bench not for a long time! sorry for my bad english! I enjoys your plaining from Italy! P.s. thanks for your "speedy" Aerial boundaries version!

[@Blateyy]

Man, you got some chops Andrew! If I'm ever up in Portland I'm gonna have to come check you out...

[@Br1ga]

i didnt know what to say when i read your myspace... this world need ppl like u with your music talent i rlly hope u dont give it up... u will be missed i hope u keep playing as a hobbie.. just dont give up please =*(

[@loyeti71]

AMAZING!!!

[@weehoops3]

Very inventive..! I'll have to give this one a go sometime soon. Found out about your music from your killer performance at the 2010 Canadian Guitar Festival Competition. Great stuff.

[@richyo1000]

dude, i think i prefer this version to your most recent post! you should have won the guitar idol with this easily! ^_^

[@AndrewGorny]

haha, thanks man!!! Erik's got some pretty cool ideas up his sleeve these days!!!

[@AndrewGorny]

I'm excited to see what you have so far! This is a really fun tune to play, especially when you iron out the phrasing. I'm not really playing it to my own specifications on this video. You should hear the version on my myspace. :) Take care! -ag

[@gerrydempsey2009]

I was just about to upload my arrangement of Claire de Lune when I found yours. Gaaah! Mine still has the training wheels on by comparison. And now it's led me to all your other stuff. Wonderful. I'd compare you with early John Renbourne but there's so much more going on. Oh, and let's have a daylight version of the Debussy please.

[@rowenh3]

This piece is absolutely awesome. I hear your influences, but you take it to a completely different place that is all your own. I am also an alternate tunings enthusiast, and wonder if the carbon fiber acoustics hold up better to the funky tunings, or not. I am shopping now for another axe (you can never have too many) that can handle them, if it exists. I even noticed Hedges tended to spend a lot of time getting in tune...

[@Ccbroo]

you have my vote

[@moejoe2112]

You might be my new favorite.

[@acousticland]

excellent.

[@Claymor621]

Very nice

[@sglp9000]

this is like ear porn, Andrew, you freaking kick ass! btw, it's Steven! figured i've been addicted to your tunes long enough that i would start commenting :P still freakin' love this song!

[@babbersabber]

hey dude you are awesome!

[@AndrewGorny]

Yeah, the chorus section is 2 parts, they're both the same chord progression. The first part the right hand is clearly more important, because I'm basically just holding a chord and keeping the tapped notes goin... I definitely don't play it nearly this fast anymore, and I also play it different in parts, with a lot more string stopping. This was roughly a week after I wrote it, so it was still a sketch, basically.

[@wilveale2122]

Sent to me by Luis Tataje. This is fantastic.

[@AndrewGorny]

Hey thanks!!! This is an OLD video! I'm doing a bunch of new ones with audiophile level tube microphones

[@MetalAddict247]

As well as you being an amazing song writer yourself. :)

[@AndrewGorny]

hehe, or you can check it out on the new CD coming out in a few months!!! The sound quality on the new CD is really good I promise!!!

[@FrauenArtz13]

nice job man :')

[@AndrewGorny]

oh yeaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!

[@MetalAddict247]

Sound quality sounds F*ing marvelous to me haha. Where's the incense ;) Man you really have mastered Hedges style, I'm following the works of Antoine Dufour,Don Ross etc, and they are all amazing too, amazing song writers,But I listen to you because your stuff is so different.. Lookin out for that new cd bro! my 20 bucks is in the jar waiting for it haha.

[@eschelar]

An excellent peice showcasing technical ability, but also a good sense of variety with a lyrical flow to the music without a need for words. Highly effective and well suited to the concept of the piece. And I'm not a fan of general fingerstyle picking. I couldn't listen to Polygons for more than 30 seconds or so...

[@heyyitsRJ]

aha. i lol'd at the tag "fine girls"

[@AndrewGorny]

be sure to check out the redone video from the winter series! It's the video response :) you get a much better idea of what is happening musically

[@CapitaineBuisson]

nice it's sympathic ^^

[@moreronlikeme]

absolutely awesome! are you using CGDGAD?

[@AndrewGorny]

...yeah, the world can do a number of things to you. It can chew you up and spit you out, or it can swish you around on its palate for a while, then swallow, and eventually piss you out... I was the bottle of bourbon that people talked about trying but never really got around to it. Not because it wasn't good, but it just didn't seem like a good idea. To be honest, I'd rather people just poured it out instead.

[@neybordayfid]

Have you ever thought about starting a Springsteen cover band? You'd be perfect!

[@AndrewGorny]

@pawsrcute21 HEY!!!! Thanks! Sorry I haven't had a lot of time to check youtube. I can't tell who this is exactly (I went to your profile and didn't see anything...) but I'm really excited to share some music with you in a REAL setting :) The other players at the show are really great too !!!

[@AndrewGorny]

hehe... I think you're taking it differently than I meant, but I must remind you, there are two players in the game of art... those sending, and those receiving. If there's no one on the receiving end, there's not much fun to the game.

[@neocyberkat]

may b not.. lolz.. but good looking guitar and equally good music..5star

[@AndrewGorny]

lol of course! I gotta tap into the "creep geezer" demographic!!!

[@invis19]

dang that 0:48-0:50 is deceptively difficult with the double string bar with the index finger on F/C

[@AndrewGorny]

well, it's OK because these days I play this tune a lot slower so you've got more time to make it happen

[@darkstarcaptaincrunk]

Sweet taps man. Definitely felt like it was musical too, not just an attempt to look good.

[@AndrewGorny]

@richyo1000 I think as far as the production of this video goes, yes it is better... but many of the musical things that excite me about this piece are lost in this performance... and the tempo is more like Rather Jog With You LOL

[@AndrewGorny]

not quite... more like CGDGBE

[@EthanSh1n]

Great music....you should get some better quality videos up! =)

[@HexagramHuang]

beautiful ... but at bad sound quality,○|￣|ˍ...... record it again plz.

[@Fusionartist202]

That girl that was walking in the background was totally checking you out and you missed it, because you were playing your guitar about meeting a girl How ironic! Ha HA!:^)>

[@lollipophugo]

Dude I noticed on your myspace that you're throwing in the towel, and as a prospective musician (admittedly in a completely different genre, like other end of the spectrum different) I find that completely depressing, because if someone with as much amazing talent and dedication as you can't make it then we're all fucked. I was spewing when you didn't make it to the final of Guitar Idol with this because you totally deserved it. Shame to see you give it up.

[@neocyberkat]

i think that was a guy!!
