Guitar: 1888 Antonio de Torres (SE 116) "La Italica" (www.guitarsalo...)
Here's Andrew York playing 'Yamour' (the title track from his most recent CD - available here: tinyurl.com/kwh...) on a gorgeous 1888 Antonio de Torres "La Italica" that sounds fantastic with virtually any style of music, including this beautifully haunting contemporary piece. This guitar is also known as "La Italica" due to its headplate (which we removed for the recording). Read all about this historic guitar here (tinyurl.com/mvl....

There is something special and beautiful when a composer plays his own music. Andrew is that special composer because he touches the heart and soul of the listener.

[@yagmursiva]

Maybe everyone has to know how this song came from. Like 4 years ago I was still helping to Andrea V. for festival and Andrew York came to festival and wrote this song for him but he didn't find a name yet .we were in dinner with Muriel Anderson and other musicians she said to him why don't you give name of Yağmur (which is my name) it's exotic and mysterious. We talked and he decided to give this name first he called the song with my actual name Yağmur then he changed cuz not everyone knows how to pronounce this name he changed the name like how u pronounce it 'Yamour'. I'm really proud of this.if u wanna know what yağmur means...rain

[@bhill27]

props and that's a really pretty name, especially after hearing all that and the song

Andrew York is a stunningly talented artist. He plays with true mastery and his compositions are gorgeous. I had the extreme pleasure of seeing him in concert and then auditing one of his master classes recently and I'm still blown away by the breadth of his knowledge and his cheerful warmth and generosity when sharing all he knows with other guitarists. Please support him in any way you can; he's a real musical genius and a heck of a nice guy, too.

[@dillonkian559]

My wife is a really incredible guitarist and can memorize pieces on the instrument very quickly... So once, when we were teens, I had had a particularly bad day and couldn't sleep that night. So, knowing how much I love classical music, she learned this piece and sat next to my bed playing it all night until I fell asleep. I can't listen to it without getting a little teary-eyed now.

[@lorenzheringlh]

To anyone asking for the music sheet or tabs: Please support Andrew York and buy the sheet he sells on his website. I just bought "Mechanism" and am very happy with it!

[@shenruivah]

Does he sell tabs though? I'm guessing music sheets don't show you frets?

[@morganfinley3]

Learn to read music, maybe? For real though. It is so much easier to play when you can read music. Figuring out fingerings is the hard part.

[@atgwiuz]

How long will it take me to be able to read music sheets?

[@atgwiuz]

@@bradejensen FFS I just asked a question,I can learn this song in a day if I can get tabs but apparently there aren't any so I guess I'd have to learn to read music sheets.

[@gavbrown9808]

I would 100% buy but don't read music so need the tab.

[@wno1043]

This has to be one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written for guitar.

I have just heard a historic guitar and vocal moment , York , Torres, Magic !!!!

[@Pinkyflame14]

El señor Andrew York nos da un buen ejemplo a seguir, mantener la tradición a todo lo aportado en siglos pasados (como podría ser la música romántica tocada por esa guitarra Torres) mientras se aportan cosas nuevas al mundo de la guitarra clásica en el siglo XXI. Este ha de ser el camino, avanzar sin olvidar...

The tone on that guitar is outstanding,, And so beautifully played.. I never get tired of listening to this wonderful piece…

[@garfieldnate]

The piece and this performance are such a masterpiece! To me, York pieces are characterized by colorful chords and beautiful melodies. But the playing... he's just a master of dynamic and timbre manipulation, and for this piece the bit of voice accompaniment really adds to that. It's such a vibrant, beautiful performance. I can't stop watching it!

[@Francesco90435]

I absolutely love this piece Andrew York. It makes me feel so happy inside! It reminds me of driving up to Vermont in the Summer! All of your music has that wonderful, warm, happy feeling.

3:40 the resonation of the guitar adds a voice at the back like singing .bravo mr York.

[@wilfy1066]

A track I never want to end - A truly remarkable player with infusions of Jazz bass lines, as heard in this piece - York is far more than a nylon classical player. In much of his work we hear ancient lute, the classics and a fusion of streetstyle warm fingerpicking, there is even Romanic type folk style laced with his own trait. As much as I adore Williams or Bream Classical, York brings much more colour, more poetry and is more than capable and willing of breaking 'classical rules' to bring texture and amazement. Much appreciated is the brilliance.

[@tizaniceday9249]

[@CoscarelliFan]

I can't believe I just discovered this. This has to be one of guitar's "defining" moments seeing Andrew play one of his best originals on that old Torres. Wow, does it sound good. There's something special about seeing an artist play their own stuff with feeling and depth. Doesn't happen often in the classical guitar world because everybody plays the old stuff (which I love by the way).

[@thomasszejnmann3917]

The sound you hear here is made by a lot of studio effects - too many for my taste. Also the player is great - he could play like this on any guitar better than middle class. Guitars are overrated.

[@hazyviews999]

@@thomasszejnmann3917 This particular guitar is so far from underrated..Torres guitars are absolutely magnificent and set the stage for the modern guitar we have today. The tone and sound that comes from a Torres can not be replicated..
