This is the best i;'ve ever seen this song played by andy

[@jmlakes]

truly beyond words

[@TrapNerdMusic]

I was skeptical, but this is most certainly the best version of Ebon Coast.

[@MarlonCastrosocial]

This my favorite version of this song, I've heard him playing this song many times but this is best by far!!!

[@GadgetAddicted]

This is the first song or rather version of Ebon Coast I've heard that is mellow and powerful at the same time. I bow down and thumbs up if you do too!

[@edgarSmile]

words can't describe this man's level of creativity skills and talent.

[@ProfessorNguyen]

Amazing.

[@EthanBurks]

[@barret73]

[@Gitbox56]

[@IamtheGrynch]

[@van2koda]

[@FazalMirza]

Please let me go to sleep Andy -_- Its really late

[@thejakeyboi]

I love the improvisation he does in parts of this version!

[@HungarianGuitarist]

amazing tune...

[@graz423]

i am EXTREMELY hard to impress and lets just say this is absolutely unreal.

[@clevergamer6704]

I think I read somewhere that a genius is 10% talent and 90% sweat. Andy does not look like a typical guitar player. He's passion took him there.

[@Pyrofreak321]

holy shit that is a really nice sounding guitar

[@clevergamer6704]

thank you for keeping this video up! It's the best version

[@samuel368]

Great live performance!

[@greenxcastlexcrasher]

My head just exploded... but it was worth it.

[@JetStorm17277]

this guy's really good!

[@Ingepunx]

call him a GOOOOOOD

[@Goshoonkeys]

1:06 - Bless u.

[@dansterwerecool]

1 man - 1 guitar - 100 different sounds

[@Honghaguitarist9]

very nice...

[@clevelandtyler2]

@Gitbox56 yeah...prety sure but he's using a baritone, so the low E is actually B

[@ElderStevenFurrJr.]

the chords he played before he started were friggin sick

[@TomDodsonMusic]

@megaman90 Yes, that one is a lowden, they start at about 2500. He plays Greenfield guitars now, made by a canadian luthier called Michael greenfield :)

[@Xxholman]

god damn dude u are my hero only if i could play 0.1% is good as u i would be happy!

[@clarkejamin]

3:30 is so edgy i love it. not in any other versions i've heard either

[@ThomasAWilliam]

Interesting to hear it in standard. Wonderful nonetheless.

[@hip142]

@anothernord yes that is exactly it. he is not in standard tuning here

[@Nickgupplies]

clarkejamin, the same is done in his recording with don ross: its definitely one of the finer recordings of this song.

[@MarkGuitar]

It isnt a baritone guitar, although the original recording on The Gates... is a baritone. Andy is tuned roughly just below Eb on this video. A tip.... the tab has been released for this tune, dont worry about not having a baritone,just learn the tune with a standard tuned guitar. Just dont play along with the recording. In fact there is a youtube video of ebon coast pitched up to standard tuning. Check that out and jam on :)

[@JoshStodola]

This song sounds much better on this guitar than it does on his $20,000 custom Greenfield.

[@ShatOnATurtle10]

@clevelandtyler2 This is a standard guitar, so yeah its standard, or a half step down at least.

[@kiko22190]

a7a :d

[@EthanBurks]

him and antoine dufour are the best well michael heges of course

[@mathiasm12]

seems like he's better live than in studio.. at least from what i can hear

[@TomDodsonMusic]

@MrMinhtien So it is! Thanks for correcting me! :)

[@akkeso]

@Gitbox56 i think it's a half step down,

[@TomWinter]

@abiezer777 not if you buy ex-demo ones like i did. got it half price :D

[@TomWinter]

Just noticed he's playing an Avalon, is that an L32? if so, i just bought one a week ago, fancy that haha.

[@TomDodsonMusic]

@anothernord I take that back it is definitely tuned higher. My bad! :P

[@Ivansson92]

@dansterwerecool more like 1000 different sounds

[@TomDodsonMusic]

@anothernord Its not standard scale, its a baritone guitar.

[@Callaxes]

Agreed, but look at the headstock. I see a "g" there.

[@megaman90]

@TomDodsonMusic isn't that Guitar at least in the $1000 range? no sure I saw it to be very expensive.

[@NickUSHOR]

What chord is he playin at 0:22 ? Is it 024032 (low to high) ?

[@GadgetAddicted]

@bemdav LOL

[@Gitbox56]

is he playing this in standard tuning?

[@spitupstars]

I need to learn this song. There any tutorials?

[@federicobarrezueta9988]

you have the tabs on ultimateguitar

[@roaisagron]

Did you?

[@ZacVrono]

I can play the original, and i thought that was good, now its like smoke on the water incomparison to his new version.

[@chublonsky]

where's the beard man ?

[@IamtheGrynch]

C'mon, man! Would he at least open his eyes while he plays?! It's not like he makes the rest of us look like fools at it is!

[@bemdav]

Fake! Noone can write a song that awesome!

[@B455PL4Y3R]

Dissagree, sounds just as heavenly here

[@ProfessorNguyen]

Amazing.

[@Liljestrumpan]

I love this man!
