Hunter's Moon by Andy McKee

On his visit to Montréal to play the Greenfield Guitars Shop Concert Series in July of 2012, Andy McKee stopped by the workshop to record a few videos. Here he is playing the a demo model of my model GF. As usual, you are listening to the artist, the guitar and a single mic in the bench room of my workshop. Live, off the floor. There are no pickups being used. The sound is pure. Enjoy!

I can actually see a lonely hunter under the wild moon in a vast wilderness, contemplating. Amazing.

[@2bitretro64]

what is it like to go through life with such incredible determination, dedication, focus, integrity? this is not JUST talent folks or gods gift, this is more than ten thousand hours... this is andy mckee... and i will work till the day i die to be like him. incredible human

[@Albator972]

The most impressive thing about Andy McKee is when I imagine him waking up from bed one morning and say :"Oh !! I think I've got an idea for a song"......And then he does that !! Genius monster ! Gotta admit and love it !

[@Websterpoint24]

Don't you think that it's more like he's shitting on the toilette, reads a magazin and then, he's like: "Oh, I got another One !" ? :D

[@onixtheone]

You can do it to try composing a song a few notes or chords at a time you’ll feel amazing once it’s done

[@patricm.3718]

After the EMPs go off, this is the music that will survive and wander the lands in the form of the dozens of musicians who actually went through the work of developing this level of mastery. Can't roam with a piano. Luckily, you can roam with the perfect instrument; the Acoustic Guitar.

It’s all about the triangle bro

[@helderconde2074]

Andy McKee makes me laugh. Not smile. Laugh, actually. I get so mesmerized by his performances, that laughing is my way of saying "I can't believe what he does with those guitars". Not mere technique, but high quality music. This guy a genious. Pure genious.

[@JoshLowe30]

Beautiful, I wish my generation didn't ruin music like they have....

[@LuigiRojas98]

This is, by far, the best version he's recorded for this song.

[@ChefBuffSoldier]

watching this guy doing his passion is like meditation

[@Qvqvqvqvq]

An amazing talent. So gifted. Great guitar

[@AndyMcKeeFanForLife]

I never get tired of seeing this song performed live by the Master. We are not worthy.

[@grinnerwolff1]

I love driving fast on the highway while listening to this song. Improves concentration and a sense of well-being.

[@simonize251]

I can't listen to many songs that are just one guitar. But AM writes songs that are so ear pleasing. Sounds like so much more than just 1 man and 1 guitar. Props to this pioneer of the 6 string.

[@w3slley_]

I have heard this version of this song a lot of times. And I have seen a lot of covers as well. Nobody comes even close from this astounding performance.

[@adamrafferty]

I LOVE it!

[@a.lexandre.gagnon]

Man, how does a luthier feels when he hears his guitar played like that ? Amazing guitar, and musician.

[@RaeZoladawn777]

I am a Don Ross fan and I feel like Dr 'S student in some other space in Time Andy s playing was introduced to me by a guy who said hey check this dude out Andy McKee and I was like ...k so like not disappointed thumbs up Mr McKee

[@SafetyMan911]

I love how the rhythm in this is much more dominant than on the album. I think that this is closer to what Andy was trying to achieve than on the album and his increase in skill over the years has let him speak more eloquently through his instrument.

[@ape09090]

Human creativity is an endless wonder.

[@RichardVallanceMusic]

Points for being so in the zone to ignore that sleeve! Always one of my favourites :)

[@MarkGuitar]

Andy Kicks the Jams out at 2:24 and that transitions back in flawlessly at 2:51!!!! Magic!!!!

[@CaptianJohnPrice]

GAHHH! This is the best version I've ever heard from him! :DD

[@pokershadow373]

Holy crap, this is amazing

[@jimelrod1720]

as a wood worker and home luthier i don't know whether to watch the artistry of Andy McKee or look at the shop of Greenfield Guitars. thank you for posting this.

[@Loonaticx]

Jim Elrod say, what is involved with the steps towards becoming a luthier? I have been very interested for quite many years now, and I'm ready to start. Would you have any advice you're willing to share?

[@siegfriedkharan]

maaan! as a guitar player i hate when that happen 4:23 (when your sleeve comes down in the most unnesesary moment). Excellent as always! And those greenfield guitars... dude, i want one right now!

[@wakingupfrom]

such a special guitarist. One of the most important guitarist alive right now

[@drummer2k5]

i love how, as of this video, he's been playing this song and the others for 2 years and he looks as if he still loves playing them.

[@Shezmen88]

So beautiful when he does the harmonizations :)

[@rwholly]

Dude. Best rendition of this song I've ever seen! If I can fakey thru the first few bars I'll be stoked! LOL!

[@mkoprc]

Thank you Andy and GreenfieldGuitars!

[@mmanacguy]

Just joking. This guy has to be one of the best guitar players in the world. Ive seen all his videos on here and am awe struck! He is amazing.

[@Nysasq]

The only guy to win the Wichita, KS finger style guitar championship 2 years in a row. #beenhookedsincedrifting

[@MarkGuitar]

The transition from the underhand fretted back to the main theme is seamless. Stunning!

[@jimothygoldfish]

You can master any song by practice, but true art comes from one that can create such a song as this :)

[@bubbyj]

This is many as hell. The "Hello Kitty" product in the background has to be there for legal purposes. It is illegal to be this manly in one video at a time. The beard. The incredible skill with the guitar. He is performing in what looks to be a carpenter's workshop. Rock on, Andy. Rock on.

[@metalisaac89]

This is one of the greatest artists alive

[@Kruizzer]

By "doesn't sound clean" do you mean that he's letting notes ring while playing other notes? That's a deliberate artistic choice, as well as a consequence of the techniques he's using on this song.
