Shoot The Sun Down - Live at Sweetwater Studio - Andy Wood

[@carltonecho3]

Living in a cave for the last 20 years, just discovered this guy. Amazing!!!!!!!!!!

[@braydenjones603]

Me too. Tim Pierce?

[@Frank-w8q3f]

He learned by playing in a cave for 20 years, same as me.

[@Srvtecej]

I must have been in a similar cave.

[@IverJ]

Same..... Now listening to Charisma on Spotify. Then time to go practice!

[@saradamsmc]

Same... if it wasn't for Tim Pierce I never would have known. I thought Guthrie Trapp was what this guy is. lmao jk they are both very different and both awesome.

[@luvyesmusici4886]

Well, Mr. Wood, when a certain Tim Pierce makes a video entitled “He might be the best guitarist alive today” and it features you, that is why I am here. I will be looking and listening into more of your music very soon. I’ve already recommended you to the father of an up and coming guitarist at work earlier today.

[@AndrewHataway-q3r]

Same 😂

[@CharlieBotarelli]

Exactly how I was introduced to Andy Wood as well.

[@timpierceguitar]

Wow, so inspiring...and soulful...virtuosity in service of HEART and SOUL

[@andywoodmusic]

@@timpierceguitar Tim🧡🙏🏻 means the world coming from one of my heroes.

[@sirstashalot7441]

Thanks for doing a video on Andy, Tim! Not only do I get to jam all day but I learned a lot from you both without even picking up my guitar lol

[@jeremyisaac1354]

Just discovered Andy today. It's been awhile since a piece of music has touched my soul, but here we are. Wow.

[@andywoodmusic]

@@jeremyisaac1354 thank you my friend 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@LLTB-m1t]

A Tim Pierce video introduced me to Andy Wood. I'm enamored, uplifted, transported, exhilarated, & grateful. I can't stop listening. Thank you also, Tim Pierce.

[@garyyee7234]

Same. I can see why Tim called this his fav. That melody hook... been a while since I sat up and paid attention like that.

[@matthewmckinney9348]

I'm a metalhead (I loved seeing Andy's other group playing in Knoxville), but this is the definition of the term tone us guitarists use. This is some of the tastiest playing I've ever seen, and it doesn't even need to be fast.

[@Have2KillMe1st]

Down From Up?...

[@michaelbaldwin6543]

Amazing touch on the tremolo.

[@wordragon]

@@michaelbaldwin6543Brad Gillis would be proud!

[@zacman45]

I can't thank Tim Pierce enough for introducing me to Andy Wood. I can't thank Andy Wood enough for giving us the artistry of all my guitar heros, perfectly blendid with his seasoning to create the ultimate recipe.

[@andywoodmusic]

@@zacman45 kind words!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 appreciate ya, cheers 🍻

[@stevewalter5096]

Love that it was one take, he’s uber underrated. But guitar players know

[@Prodoozer]

This has an Andy Timmons vibe to me. Love it.

[@andywoodmusic]

@@Prodoozer AT has been an Obi-Wan like mentor to me for so many years.

[@hometycoon1]

My two favourite Andy's in the world, absolutely inspiring.

[@glenngorden867]

Yes he does

[@jessegonzales1354]

That's some great sounding music here , can't believe I just heard about him , absolutely amazing stuff. !!!!!

[@PaulWarrenMusic]

Earlier today I was prepping some lunch and noticed I was humming a song in my mind. Yep, it was this one. So congrats on a melody that sticks! That's what you want!!

[@andywoodmusic]

Ha! Thanks brotha

[@SiTheMon777]

And that ladies and gentlemen is how you write a kick ass piece of music 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@andywoodmusic]

🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@davidnaja2667]

There is something just amazing about Andy and it far surpasses his playing ability. I must say I was very thankful to have found his page sometime ago. His dedication to music and his willingness to share his knowledge, his musical idols, and his thoughts about the industry make him the best in the business. To say he is the best guitarist alive today is simply a statement of fact. Nobody plays the vast, diverse mix that Andy does and at such a monster level. Acoustic, electric, mandolin, and yes . . . Skankbanger, there is but one. Thanks for the lessons, Vidami push (amazing pedal) and just being someone positive in a day where that is not so common. Look forward to catching a live show one day in some capacity!! Great song here btw.

[@robbiepenninger4111]

This is one of the coolest instrumentals one could ever hear anywhere

[@TarasSlipets]

This is one of those goddam magic songs that makes you instantly grab your guitar and start learning it. “Thank you for the music!” (c)

[@andywoodmusic]

@@TarasSlipets 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@ultrafree9597]

It's a master class 100% !! His techniques are so delicately mastered. Precision is a prerequisite. DIGG !!

[@MrThemortgage]

Andy is a beast, simply a beast on guitar!

[@vincewillis6141]

Absolutely one of the best guitarist and entertainer out there!!! Every note and chord is perfectly played.

[@andywoodmusic]

@@vincewillis6141 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@TheAntropusChannel]

You are one of my favorite "new" guitar players, Andy. Amazing as usual! I noticed a bit of Nick Johnston kind of storytelling vibe in this. The album cover as well. I love Nick's playing as well because of how atmospheric it is and I see your new music going more cinematic in a similar way, yet unique to your style. Beautiful stuff!

[@butterflywing61]

Cool ! I noticed this right away. Remarkably Human is a killer album!

[@danveca8304]

Another banger! Phrasing in this is next level shit! Love it when a true "feel" player goes off! Very inspiring and magical, Andy. Rock on, dude!

[@briandavidsinger]

Andy rocks I had the pleasure of taking a few lessons with him about 10 years ago and he a a great teacher and great person. Very happy for his success. He deserves it!

[@mikemeeks8122]

Incredible performance. One of those that every time you listen to it you hear something new and inspiring. 👏

[@andywoodmusic]

@@mikemeeks8122 thanks Mike!

[@gjtube37]

This song is so great it should be up for a Grammy!

Love to see all new the people who are just discovering you man lol. So well deserved!

[@hrebolledoc5159]

Not since the prime Gary Moore et al. days had I listened to this kind of raw & honest soul playing, this is proof that a great guitar player is nothing but a great singer with the voice of a stringed beast , damned cave I live in ....

[@dananthony6258]

I’m back to hear this tune again. I really love this song. It’s a master piece imo. 😎🎸🙏🤘✝️

[@DanielVerberne]

Beautiful tone, lovely voicing of a gorgeous melody. Some of the tone sounds a little of Andy Timmons, which is completely praise.

[@organicvids]

2:34 i hear wicked game, perfect!

[@Ecator594]

Great guitar and tone. Awesome to see a fellow Carolinian tear it up with the best of them. This tune and one called awaken by Jack Thammarat are two guitar vids I keep coming back to watch from time to time. I was also glad to see you play some Steve Morse. Got to see him play live a couple times both were incredible experiences. Thanks for the music!

[@andywoodmusic]

[@WalktheWalk-ki9kj]

Great video and I didn't know this Andy Wood, but was surprised. What I love about his playing is his great feel that he injects into his playing style. Different than so many heavy metal guys of yesteryear. He has that blues feel that makes all the difference in the world to me. Its music like that that moves people.

[@andywoodmusic]

@@WalktheWalk-ki9kj thank you for the kind words 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Fantastic and tasteful playing!

[@vulcandj]

This is the first video I watched of Andy. I get a John Petrucci vibe, mainly from his first instrumental album. This song is absolutely brilliant and beautiful. I’ve been doing a deep dive into your tunes, and I’m amazed. You sir are one gifted musician and I thank you for the new music that I’m hearing now.

[@andywoodmusic]

@@vulcandj thanks for the kind words!

[@Lola_Santoro]

Anyone else notice how amazingly, beautifully brilliant this was even BEFORE he felt the need to add fast licks?

[@thesmallnotesduo]

I can just imagine Robert Plant putting vocals inside this masterpiece.

Oh wow. This needs to happen!

[@shcaskey]

Man that’s a hot tune!’

[@zappa66]

So smooth and creamy. Like your playing with so much feeling. A duett guitar playing with Marcus Dreml from Errorhead must be a sound evolution. Greeds from germany.

[@Boomer04151961]

How I have not heard of you till now just boggles my mind!! But I have now and I'm sold!! Your ideas are only matched by your master chops!! Just totally dig what I'm hearing and what you're doing!!

[@ricopaxton]

That's beauty paired with power

[@donald-parker]

Great performance. Love these live studio sessions. Vai did a lot of stuff like this - riffing over a root. Makes me wonder if Philip Bynoe was your bass player. Fun fact ... I never looked Phil up for years but based on Steve introducing the band on one of his live albums, I thought his name was Phil Albino (which seemed amusing for a black man). I would love to hear your take on The Riddle. Maybe not a cover of the song, but just some fun with modes. I think that was the song that taught me about the concept of modes. Of course, that was way before internet - I had no idea that is was called "modes" or was even "a thing" - I just heard these magical Steve Vai scales which I later figured out were just different major scales over the same root. A cool trick I figured Steve and I alone grokked after I had that e[epiphany. It was years later I learned it was a common musical device.

[@KleinBenjamin]

It's wonderful how he makes the guitar sing without opening his mouth or making a fuss.

[@marcuscabral1480]

Amazing song!!! Terrific!!

[@srhatfield]

1:40 I was like "Ohhoooooooh maaaaan that was awesome!" as soon as I saw you hit those harmonics. Holy crap Andy.. you know how to craft a tune! And in 1 take?! Are you kidding me?! I think Tim is right...

[@andywoodmusic]

@@srhatfield ah cheers, yeah this one was a pretty special pass thru the tune. Got lucky ;)

Awsome Man

[@1968Stratocaster]

Hey Andy! As you can see by my profile i play guitar - a 1968 Fender Stratocaster (custom voodoo like Hendrix). I want to say that there are not many modern guitarists that inspire me. You just became one!!! Great job on this song from the arrangement to the subtle things...like how you masterfully control feedback and use harmonics etc. I just saw one of my all time favorites (old school) Uli Roth here in Seattle...fantastic as usual! I noticed you are not coming to Seattle - yet...may I make a suggestion HAH! I will be honoring you this Christmas by attempting to learn this song...love the melody!

[@AdelRouhnavaz]
