You sir, have taught me the wonders of music, music that practically gives life its own soundtrack. now I wish to learn how to speak like that.

[@AndrewYorkguitar]

Many thanks, I'm glad my music inspires you!

[@danc9837]

Andrew York, if you read this, thank you for the awesome music, It was able to heal me through my personal struggles

[@AndrewYorkguitar]

Happy to hear that, Dan. All the best to you!

[@christopherteves7952]

It’s easy to lose track of the value of making and sharing our art. Years later your music and performance is still moving souls, touching lives, and making the world a better place. Such an inspiration.

[@AndrewYorkguitar]

Many thanks for your beautiful comment, Christopher!

[@gerardkramer1674]

Thank you so much for this song Andrew - I remember my wife she heard this on the radio one morning many years ago and ever since we loved it both so much. Sadly she passed away some 5 years ago and I had your song played at the funeral - everyone was moved by it. So now and then (such as this evening) I still listen to this beautiful piece as it always brings memories, thanks for bringing them!

[@AndrewYorkguitar]

Thank you very much for your beautiful message, Gerard. I'm very sorry about the loss of your wife. My thoughts are with you!

[@sheilatwigg876]

Heard this a number of times on Classic FM, liked it, but always missed the intro with details, so much so that it began to haunt me. At last browsing thru KZbin ... I have found it. My sleep will no longer be disturbed!

[@williamcampbell7816]

Andrew's ''Andecy'' is a perfect example of the indescribable ability of how music can transport the soul. Listen, and go there with him...

[@davepowell7168]

A French word meaning a place yet to be named.

[@FurryToesMusic]

I love the tone this man gets... like liquid crystal. Beautiful playing (and piece).

[@johnbotelho3453]

I am so grateful that I’ve recently discovered your music. Im about 1 year into playing classical guitar after 16 years of playing guitar and this will added to my collection of songs. In fact, im learning it right now

i know which piece of music i'll be buying next - i just spent the whole afternoon listening to Isbin's interpretation on Journey to the New World. This might be my favorite mood on the guitar.

Esta obra me ha cautivado desde el primer momento en que la escuché. Su melodía es simplemente hipnotizante y me ha llevado a buscar la partitura para poder tocarla siempre en mi intimidad.Tu musica tiene un poder increíble para emocionarnos y conectarnos con nuestros sentimientos más profundos, y esta pieza lo logra de manera excepcional. ¡Gracias Andrew por compartir su talento con nosotros y por inspirarnos con su música! Saludos desde Uruguay!

[@呼吸-e9b]

i really like what emancipator did with this melody. shame he left no credits. would like to hear other songs he sampled. but through him i found you. checked this whole album once this morning, i really like your playing its very inspirational for me. some sections remind me of tomohito nishiura, making music for dark cloud and rogue galaxy

[@johnjcastellari7130]

Fabulous rendition - superb

[@elisabethpine3420]

This is one of the most beautiful pieces on earth.

[@AndrewYorkguitar]

Many thanks, Elisabeth!

[@franksabatino7576]

This warm, welcomong music transports me to the Andes.

[@javierr999]

That's amazing

[@chrismartinelli7433]

At the end . . . not sure if it's spoken in German-but someone in the audience says, "Amazing!" or something like this? Then Andrew says, "You're Welcome!" Anyway, not SURE what the person in the audience said, but I like to think it was a word of spontaneous gratitude for an extraordinary piece of music. I first heard the studio version many, many years ago on SF Bay Area public radio. I wasn't even a classical guitar guy, but I just loved it. Went out an purchased the Windham Hill Guitar Sampler-a cassette tape-just to hear Andecy. By the way Andrew . . . have you ever wanted to begin a concert saying something along the lines of . . . "Thank you for all your support everyone! I know how much you love Andecy and Home, but tonight I wish open with "Smoke On The Water."

Can you please tell me how to learn to play like you, on your own? I'm very much asking for your advice... I'm a self-taught musician who has lost his way. I am madly in love with Renaissance and Medieval music, baroque and lute.

Thanks, Alex!

​​@@AndrewYorkguitar you are welcome Sir. I.m the one who says thank you for creating this moment of peace, introspection, connection. I feel greateful I was able to play this piece and experience the harmony change in min 2:28 onwards with those wonderful harmonics acting as bulding blocks of the wonderful chords that end the piece... in a word... Magic! Thank you Sir.

[@davepowell7168]

Endless repetition until it sickens you perhaps... No. Once memorised there is a bit of polishing required. I hope this enjoyable process is still happening to my death 😁 Lovely yet really simple modulation behind the easy melody, good reason to drop D for a while

If a person could play say one 5th as good as Andrew then that person would be a great guitarist. Enough said. - Lou St.Clair
