Andy McKee - Guitar - Heather's Song - www.candyrat.com

[@TheRealAndyMcKee]

I'm glad I could help you through, friend.

[@sky4trip]

The songs on this guitar are just legends

[@Icaruj]

It's been 10 years, I come back to this song every now and then. Thank you

[@nicklamart643]

Hi juraci, nice to see you

[@drgregjones]

same with me

[@vamvdotnet]

It's been 16 years, I come back to this song every now and then. Thank you

[@leftymu]

I saw him live a few years ago, and when he was introducing this song, he said, "this song's called Heather, it's for my sister. Her names Sarah by the way." That was so hilarious he's a great performer and puts on a great show.

[@ScorpionSpeed]

I can't believe I found this video again!! For almost a decade I couldn't find it. I thought I would never hear this again.

[@Menacing_Mike]

what a beautiful feeling, been there with others!

[@matosky333]

And after 14 years im still here

[@biggideal]

How about after 16 years ?

[@wearefoREVerfiction]

I love the way his music always tells a story.

[@ozonespec]

Song never gets old.

[@CyberDocUSA]

Truly, how can you NOT love what this man produces?

[@s8terseeyal8teryah8t]

I really think this is one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written And it’s in standard... just wow

[@Menacing_Mike]

Yea, he defiantly has a good thing going. I discovered him some years ago, & have always felt the same about a lot of his music. I don't know why he isn't more popular than he is. A true musical gift.

[@sasquatchlife8836]

I don't think it's standard. Pretty sure this is a baritone guitar which is tuned like 3.5 steps down. Standard tuning for a baritone is BEADF#B. Technically this standard tuning for a baritone though lol so I guess you're right in a sense? Regardless, we are beyond blessed to have Andy to grace us with these heavenly tunes.

[@s8terseeyal8teryah8t]

@@sasquatchlife8836 it's standard. you're right, it's a baritone guitar. if you're comparing this to a guitar tuned to E, each string is tuned 5 half steps down, or a fifth down. The string intervals are the same as a 25.5" scale length guitar tuned to E. I comment on the tuning because it takes a lot of nuance to make a composition like this in standard tuning to sound this good.

[@alexpt_]

I've had the honor to see Andy play twice now in my life and got to meet him both times. He is such a welcoming and humble human being. His art is truly inspiring; I catch myself yearning to hear his music, especially when I am in a rut. Thank you Andy for inspiring myself and countless of others with your beautiful creations

[@simon9817]

Andy is one of the most amazing guitar players in the history of music. He is an incredible inspiration in so many ways. I admire not just the way he plays (which is awesome) but also the good vibes he gives with his chill and tranquility when playing it.

[@jag1870]

Hands down one of the best guitarists our there!

[@Ann-ChristinB]

My husband was at a concert last night and was overwhelmed!! He said it was awesome and so beautiful and Andy McKee seems to be very nice and funny! So thumbs up!!

[@OmanshuThapliyal]

I get goosebumps every time I hear this song.

[@quickstep2408]

love the dynamics and harmonics in this piece

[@henrydoncaster4926]

This man is a musical genius. Anyone who has anything different to say clearly doesn't know brilliant music when they hear it.

[@SmackDownBrown49]

Dude, please don't ever let yourself get too down. Life is really only a culmination of moments like this that keep us striving for tomorrow. Believe me I've been to the pits of hell myself, as have we all no doubt. All it takes, as you've found, are good moments to reflect on that kept our heads above ground. Just when we think there's no hope something comes along to tweak the inspiration. This is why we should never take ANYTHING for granted. There's good all around us if we seek. Peace.

[@jonathanwestbay5077]

so much feel. it's deep like jazz. love it.

[@incubusmun]

I've listened to this a hundred times but i still get kinda slack jawed everytime. Beauty in music is the point behind all music and Andy hits that nail right on the head. Cathartic really

[@gavinkeller8271]

just finished learning Ebon coast.. now on to this one(:

[@theulv]

+Gavin Keller On a baritone?;)

[@BenAbrigil]

me too!!!!

[@tonimaverick8752]

i'm learning when she cries actually ^^ this one is probably not my level :P

[@Iodestarr]

my god Ebon coast is way outta my league..i gave up on it for now :/ only song i got down by him is drifting. He has so many good songs i wanna learn but they are all so hard >

[@stevenlapar187]

That’s awesome! There’s a ton of similar techniques between this song and Ebon Coast!

[@akaxtoad]

Have listened to this guy for many many years.. different channels and so on but he really does hit all nerves

[@PhlBrs]

Finally after 14 years of playing in total I can play most of the song

[@Dagnus284]

I just started learning it today. I’ve also been a huge fan for like 13 years but I had just picked up guitar back then and stood no chance lol. I think this song is attainable if I work hard

[@flexabustbergson6141]

Congrats dude!

[@jackalopin]

So much care and emotion into every note... Music at its absolute best. Andy is a true hero.

[@XX-bo5pb]

how in the heck can a person be so talented?

[@cael87]

Words aren't needed to express the deepest feelings of this mans soul, he conveys them through the most meaningful of mediums, his music flows from his hands - to our ears - then to our hearts. I cannot think of a more inspiring musician.

[@mangopsb]

andy is absolute genius!!!

[@TheDeaf424242]

This man is a gift to the world.

[@flow383]

like always....he makes me fall in love....with music the only love that cant break my heart.

[@Shermanwaco]

Todays Radio has lost it very heart and soul... We need more people like this to bring the heart and soul back to free radio. This is Great stuff!!!!!

[@kevins2105]

He makes it look so easy! Frustrating but also so beautiful.

[@Xigbar_II]

This is my favorite song for the ride home after work. Such a great way to ease any tension and keeps your mind off anything stressful. Thanks for the song Andy.

[@TranceFixedd]

Wow... This is literally the first time I have EVER understood and deeply felt the message that is being transmitted through a song. Upon hearing the first note I was completely hypnotised, then when I heard 0:21 I just stopped breathing. This has to be the most wonderful work of art ever created, the emotion just flows through so beautifully, and it is just so representative of the feelings felt for another person. All of this just to say one thing : Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

[@elliotfrost5094]

beautiful :)))

[@IronicalGuy]

This shows me, that it's worth it to play guitar and write feelings into songs. Even if there is no possibility to get as good as he is, he is just amazingly perfect at what he's doing. Inspiring, Amazing and full of emotions, go on Andy McKee and seed your great music in the hearts all over the world.

[@Lingouin]

the most beautiful 240p I have ever heard

[@BransonKP]

Just played this through for the first time, no mistakes! What a wonderful feeling.

[@AdnyWrackin]

Ah yes, the new found wonder of discovering an amazing artist such as Andy Mckee, nothing can really describe the feeling, can it? :P

[@CaptOz]

Everytime I hear this song I get an overwhelming feeling of peace,such a blissful song :) I only wish I could play this well.

[@scaredypicker]

It's people like this guy who inspire me to keep trying to be better, and also make me feel so shit in contrast lol

[@rbplaysa99olson]

+scaredypicker - I feel the exact same way. I feel pure joy just listening to the guy and his creativity... playing ability, etc... and at the same time feel like crap because I've played 45 years and I'm not in his light year. I did learn this one... finally someone posted that picking pattern on KZbin. I couldn't get it by ear.

[@jaejedd]

i could worship him as my god!!! long live andy so we get this blessings of his sick tunes and guitar work everytime..

[@emmapapadopoulos1508]

If I ever have a daughter, I'm going to name her Heather. Whenever she feels confused about herself or low, I'll just play this song and remind her of how incredible she is and how much soul she has. I'm going to tell her I was waiting for her before I ever even knew her, and I knew this song was for her. Complicated, but beautiful, graceful, and full of volume, and change. She will be a beautiful song to the world.

[@fabienneboughton3216]

Emma Papadopoulos damn... that was almost as beautiful as this song itself

[@dunnenrb]

While it is sad that your childhood is a thing of the past, songs like this that remind you of the beautiful times should make you :) !!!

[@Yoshidaime1]

Goodhearted, Soul..

[@IronicalGuy]

I think he's writing songs to people who are emotionally inspire him. :) I loves him and his talent to make me feel the music and the emotions. :) Great.

[@sotomercado3]

this song has some of the emo rock vibe from the 2006, 2007, silverstein, hawthorne heights, senses fail, its really good, just found about this guy on spotify

[@artglue2]

I could listen to him play all day.....beautiful!

[@irfantrau]

Most beautiful potato recorded video ever

[@clericknight7304]

Heather seems like a gorgeous soul

[@howardweir8450]

Heather's song just got 6 replays....ok one more.

[@erictaylor9199]

It’s been 16 years and I come back every year if not more to jam this masterpiece.

[@refrainit4938]

Take me to somewhere

[@kenny653]

Can't get enough of andy mckee, no matter how many years pass. Simply the best

[@bilbopraktikums509]

Prefer this version to the album version. It got more warmth to it - he doesn't mute the strings that much here. Let them ring!

[@Strupelpeta]

this song bring back a lot of memories to me

[@bobshan2035]

God damn - 2:07 - 2:20 gets me every time.

[@crazyboy4793]

Really? At least I don't think that was the best part

[@TheJackAssReJects]

LOL that is literally the worst part of the entire song, you are werid. :)

[@projelanisoccer]

2012 and im just hearing it. Great music Andy

[@Doky]

[@rush3728]

+Austin Eberhart lol wut? cant tell if srs or...

[@tomttyler]

People who hit dislike on things like this REALY annoy me. That is one amazing composition and if you don't like it you watching the wrong vids, once again... Simply astounded Andy!

[@Pastafield]

Ha yeah. The beard is the talented one; it just needed arms to be able to play the guitar, so it grew a man.

[@Paulwhitacre]

It gets better every time I listen to it. Just beautiful.

[@張千-b8f]

[@paco8229]

maestro se que tiene ya muchos años su música pero eres de los mejores y no me canso de escuchar su música gracias por regalarme esta música,felicidades

[@JJBolaWriterPoet]

The harmonics at the start is beautiful enough to be a song in its own. The whole song is beautiful!

[@cshortr1]

where would we be without Andy McKee? no one would be able to relax on Christmas Eve, or after a long night from their studies, or even from life's many hardships. This is the music-type of life itself.

[@kaitlynlachal-paterson1629]

[@darksinthe]

[@Noosejunkie]

What a great vibe, got to love that sense of harmony.

[@Grimm1977]

My favourite from Andy McKee. The kind of sad tune and groovy rythm of his play here makes it both so very catchy,engaging and soul-filled.A true masterpiece. Thanks!

[@EmotionalShredd]
