Andrew York - Letting Go

[@johncat17]

The Master of Modern Guitar, So underrated its a sin!!!! He not only plays faultlessly and beautifully from the heart but also is the one of the greatest composers for the guitar alive today and maybe even of the 1900 century. Thank you Andrew with all my heart!! John

[@josepheveson6187]

Well here I am, watching this same video after 11 years 😂 - still one I can never skip or stop listening to, genuinely one of the most beautiful pieces I’ve ever heard.

[@BryanParnala]

I hope you agree that this piece is timeless!

[@6Mr6Crowley6]

Well I've watched this video about 500 times over the last few months and I've gotta say, it never gets old. Major respect to maestro York!

[@eboteilho]

As a former student of Andy's at Whittier College, I can tell you that he's not only a phenominal musician but a class act, stand-up guy. He spent time helping students with music theory homework who weren't even guitar students! I'm glad to see he's still doing what he loves. Miss you around Whittier Andy!

[@AntonisLiopiris]

What a great composition and performance. I have spent countless hours practicing, playing and listening to your music. Thanks for everything Maestro!

[@AndrewYorkguitar]

Many thanks, Antonis!

[@lupoluke]

No words... This music talks by herself... Congratulations

[@thomashughes9309]

Immediately puts your heart in joy. Thanks, Andrew, for this beautiful piece.

[@AndrewYorkguitar]

My thanks to you for watching/listening, Thomas!

[@thomashughes9309]

That is a beautiful sounding guitar you played in this piece Andrew. What is it?@@AndrewYorkguitar

[@themanfromutopia1]

Like waves of sunshine upon your child's happy face. Simply beautiful.

[@timothymering2240]

I heard Andrew York's music for the first time on Arthur Hohn's syndicated all night program ( the Bagatelle). I ordered Denouement the next day and the first time I heard Faire I played it 9 times in a row I was so enchanted. (I've enjoyed playing it on a harpsichord as well) Time has not dimmed my interest in his music and he is still writing music for the ages ( this and Yarmour I keep listening over and over again just as I did with Faire and Waiting for Dawn over 20 years ago). This is the best guitar music ever written. It will be around as long as it matters.

[@BryanParnala]

it's 2022, and still this is one of my all time favorites

[@AndrewYorkguitar]

Again thank you so much, Bryan my friend!

[@BryanParnala]

@@AndrewYorkguitar you're welcome, dear friend! (those quick scale passage before the ending are still difficult for me, as well as the singing part. But I'll nail it someday soon.)

[@RFTak]

This is such an epic performance and a song! In my mind, this piece rubs shoulder with Andrews signature piece "Sunburst". So much story, melodies, dynamics, and just a lot of emotions. I watched this video a lot before the recording came out. Just now revisiting thanks to "Monday Memories". I still feel the emotions from back then. Just epic. This album is one of my all time favorites. Thank you.

[@AndrewYorkguitar]

Thank you very much for your beautiful comment, RFTak!

[@Dpiiiius]

My goodness this is one of the best songs I’ve ever heard. You’re one of the best to ever do it!

[@AndrewYorkguitar]

Thank you very much, DP!

[@TheXelavid]

Lol I like the small but sudden bursts of speed, it's like a cool little surprise every time it happens

[@00vTv00]

Andrew York, just an amazing composer. Hoping he will publish these works into a collection of his compositions. His work is so unique and original.

[@AndrewYorkguitar]

Thank you very much, Jon. I published most of my pieces on my website: andrewyork.net/

[@00vTv00]

@@AndrewYorkguitar Thanks Andrew, I'll never forget meeting you at the Centennial Wyoming composer camp, really changed my approach to guitar. Best wishes.

[@brianbowersox8392]

I love so many of Andrew's pieces but this one has become my favorite. It is a journey in one song.

[@rosenberg1419]

Hahaha I was too confortable learning songs with tablatures until I found out that your songs are in partitures only. Now I'm obligated to learn how to read partitures because, well, I REALLY need to learn this song, yamour and centerpeace. They are amazing!

[@AndrewYorkguitar]

Thank you, Rosenberg. Actually, reading standard notation isn't that hard, and it provides you way more information than TABs.

[@rosenberg1419]

@@AndrewYorkguitar I have faith on it haha! But, at first sight, with all the notations, looks imponent. I will learn eventually anyways! Thanks for the reply, Andrew!

[@jbatlanta]

The descending melody starting a 1:56 is just pure genius! My favorite guitar 'riff of all time.

[@seikun616]

why is this piece making me want to cry in the middle of the night?

[@ericrosales5025]

Bryan Parnala Because that is what good music does.

[@esjar307]

Because you were young and weak.

[@pouriam2151]

Master York what a legendary player

[@user-love.j.s.bach-mayumi]

This is another beautiful piece ♪ Your melody making me want to cry. So beautiful. Thank you for your gentle melody ♪♪

Thank you very much for your kind comment, Frank!

[@guestxu5234]

So beautiful. He is a glorious master of the guitar. Such an inspiration!

[@hydrogen393]

木村大のアルバムでヨーク作曲の曲が特に好きで、この曲も大好きだったから、ヨーク自身の演奏が見られて嬉しい。

[@prskid]

This is more than excellent. His playing has so much emotion in it.

[@TheBlasterOfMachine]

That’s it, i’m learning this

[@alvinmephyrnairyntathiang]

Its a beautifull song played beautifully, thats all✊

[@RickS714]

I must agree with John. I saw Maestro York live tonight at Baruch College in NYC. He played this piece early in the 1st set. General admission. I showed up early in 8 degree weather, got the front row, center. Experience of my life!

[@jatygu]

It's just magnificent everytime I listen to this piece

[@Kladaradatch]

Thank you Andrew for this beautifull peace of music that brings me crying of emotion. I'm guitarist by my self and this makes that I listen and feel on a special way. You play with your soul and so very sensitive! People hear and specially "feel" that! The expression of your face shows that you are "one" with your music and your guitar! Thanks again to shear this with the world! Bert Degrauwe

[@ScottGrewe]

This is pure auditory genius! Bliss incarnate...

[@LayDJang]

I love it

[@mikecrow9096]

I like how you let go at the beginning of the piece. At first it is very tight short notes and then you quite literally let go and let the notes ring out.

[@AndrewYorkguitar]

Thank you very much for your kind comment, Mike!

Are you referring to the Hauser Sessions? I got the mp3 download of it off his web site. Also available are CD's, downloads and sheet music for much of his works.

[@seikun616]

I really want to have the music for this, after I perfect my guitar and voice technique. Hahaha!

[@frajamasi]

Me encanta

[@thempyreans]

He is totally an amazing guitar player and is you want a challenge try and figure out any of his songs,hah! I've finally learned to play the best parts of "Freelin'" after a long time *ahem* (with the help of tabs of course.)
