It's been 13 years and still got a goosebumps

[@haroontahir8003]

14yrs and i still come back. I bought a guitar learned this song, played it everyday. I only learned three songs and this was one of them. And i have left playing guitar.

[@thomasthom7070]

15 years and comeback, got a new guitar and started practicing again....

[@cameronblair5409]

2024 still goosebumps

[@MarcomMrX]

If i were the tree in background, i would give fruits instantly :D

[@nathanialbeltz]

I love how Don makes a HUGE impact on the song, yet never gets in the way of what Andy is doing with the melody and harmony. Sign of a true master.

[@berniebernal]

That is because Ross is doing most of the percussive and the beats... reason why the song sounds a little more stylish. however, Andy Mckee is doing his tapping and melody which is his arrangement like you said. Both are legends in this style.

[@Blaize2001]

I could listen to this on a beach when the sun is just about to go down, and there's a bonfire, and mojitos....beautiful, and relaxing.

[@ericairwaterfire]

Don Ross is a wizard. He compliments and intertwines with Andy so well without overpowering.

[@gringokidd5487]

Still find myself coming back for more of this song, at least 10 years later.

[@angeloftheblood]

best version, in my opinion.

[@thiendipham835]

He also play that version with Sungha Jung,you can check it

[@omerfarukdilekci377]

That was exactly what I think. I checked all versions of Ebon Coast included Spotify and KZbin, best one is this. I strongly wish a clean record of this version :(

Ömer Faruk Dilekçi open.spotify.com/track/7ySkT4W9PGDp8EuOTy8iN9?si=wSW9W89AQ1KnoFt2BPVapw Don and Andy cut an album with this song and other collaborations

[@omerfarukdilekci377]

@@DangerousGuitarist yes I knew it, still this version is the best about playing style and much smoother, cleaner play.

[@deagossttini]

Yeah !!!!

[@dfesta]

I normally don't feel like Andy's songs need any more musical accompaniment, but this song sounds so much fuller and melodic with the second guitar. Simply amazing.

[@uemciicmeu]

Those of you out there who knew these guys before now---congratulate me on hearing them for the first time today. What a day!

[@Nygle123]

I still come to this duet as one of my favorites on the regular. Thanks Andy and Don for sharing your incredible talents!

[@NexSkala]

It's way better than the album version imo.

[@Nygle123]

@@NexSkalaI agree! One of my favorite comments on any video I’ve ever seen are on this video too, “witness the happiest plant on the planet” 😂

[@tylerjacobson8012]

It’s super rare to see guys of this type of talent playing together on such a complex piece. I love the original solo version but this duet version is the definitive version for me now it’s so damn beautiful. Don Ross adds so much drama to this track. It really adds some dynamic weight to the piece. Holy god him and Andy are such tight players too. 11/10.

[@langomj]

Not afraid to admit im moved to tears In a good way listening to true artistic talent that these two have. Pure Art

[@justinmorris2035]

Still crying after all these years. This composition still continues to heal me it’s ways that I’ve never imagined possible. Thank you from the bottom of my soul.

[@TimValiant]

I have not heard anything like this before. This music speaks from the heart, it is pure, unadulterated, original art. I am now an Andy McKee fan!

[@fell0wbaby]

to a fellow guitar player who happens to share the same birthday, HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANDY MCKEE. your music and abilities will continue to inspire(certainly not drown out) my guitar playing :D

[@stevenlapar187]

Omg that walkdown harmony gets me every damn time. Makes me shiver

[@wellsentmusic]

don ross is legendary and andy mckee is untouchable, you put them boh together and you get something unlike anything you've ever seen before 5 stars

[@dampndrookit]

Andy's breathtaking, chilling melodies are absolutely enhanced by Don's harmonies and backing. Great work guys!

[@tpjgjr]

This is two MASTERS at work! What a great duet!!!!

[@hejira622]

This song reminds me of my deceased brother - we used to go sailing out of Marina Del Ray on the weekends. I can feel the ocean and the wind when I listen to Ross and Mckee. Thanks for the vibe!

[@olgusirman]

Listening the end of 2020, still the best 👌

[@justinjohnson4103]

Cheers from 2022 and “still the best”

[@tenacious645]

How could someone possibly dislike this? I would think it to be impossible to find this video, watch it, and then genuinely hate it.

[@buku95]

here here. i agree

[@0wnz0rz888]

Its not hate, it’s envy. I wish I could play with Dos Ross as well

[@edgarSmile]

5:45 minutes of pure mad skills, art, love, passion, music at its best

[@thunderakp9784]

Don ross perfectly complements the masterpiece with his rhythm and harmonics

[@killingj0ke23]

This was such an amazing solo piece, one of my favorite Mckee pieces, but Im blown away by Don Ross' contribution. It adds such an amazing new vibe to the song! I can only dream of reaching this level of excellence. -_-

[@Rshel21]

These guys are proof that someone still appreciates GOOD music...ahh so very nice.

[@HOLLYWOODBOY818]

for some reason, this just puts a huge smile on my face... they vibe so well..

[@silaxe63]

J'écoute cette musique en boucle sans jamais m'en lasser. Ce sont vraiment des dieux, y'a pas à chipoter. Pondre une mélodie pareil...Quel talent !!

[@legato01]

This is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. The emotion and character behind it is moving. I can't believe anyone transpired this much emotion into a song, it's a master piece and I can't wait to learn it

[@swarley121]

this is simply amazing. i love all of both Don ross & andy's music. this is what inspired me to start playing the guitar and i havn't put it down since.

[@dospal]

My gosh I still love this song after all these years

That harmony and resonance at 2:27 and 4:30 is what life is about.

[@arsamkhalilian3706]

Andy panned to the right and Don to the left would have been awesome, best acoustic performance ever imo

[@thedarkflowkiller]

Its Samwell Tarly with Don Ross.

Amazing having these masters together!!

[@the_cleanhippie1309]

Since it was first uploaded, I have come back to this video many, many times. Every single time, completely blown away by the incredible craftsmanship and execution of this masterpiece. I found Andy's work, by accident, in 2007. I'm so glad I clicked his name.

13 years ago 240p is considered HD at that era😂

[@Renothemachine]

C'est une mélodie auquel j'me lasserai jamais d'écouté!

[@killamixx]

one of the best duets ever!

[@ShyanTheLegend]

Tabs for Dons part?

[@invis19]

you can find the tuning on his website I believe, then just slow the video down and figure out by ear. Just my 2 cents if you really wanna learn

[@ShyanTheLegend]

invis19 don is in standard tuning capo 2nd fret. correct me if im wrong

[@hughakston3518]

Mitch Manta 432htz e

[@ghostrider007ist]

Mitch Manta they are in alternate tuning, drop D or B .

[@iedricman]

it's standard baritone tuning which is basically 3 octaves down

[@argetect2847]

I sincerely hope he shaved his head and brought that big old beard back.

[@anonymousposter6461]

One of my favorite songs of all time. So beautiful. I can feel the sea lapping at my feet with the rhythm. I can see the dark horizon. Cold wind. Moon's reflection on the waves. As I age and come back to it, this performance gets more and more meaningful to me. It's so wistful and bittersweet. I really cherish it. Thanks for keeping it up all these years.

[@tuliusy2k]

It's just...A MA ZING!!!! Like many others said...how is that possible that 89 don't like that? THIS IS MUSIC!! See this 2 guys faces while playing!!! THANKS GOD FOR GIFTS LIKE THIS!

[@Nasosdag]

You hear an insane talent like Andy McKee playing their tunes and they are whole and beautiful. And they hook and send you on wonderful trips. Then you hear the same tunes with the artist plus Don Ross and you think "aaahhh the pieces are all back together".

[@ValhallaBeckons]

This truly feels like too much talent packed into one video, and I love it.

[@dampndrookit]

A duet between two of the most technical, most emotional guitarists out there. Amazing. Utterly amazing.

[@ghostrider007ist]

Some of the most mellow sounds ever created. Great arrangement guys, perfect tempo.
