How to Play "Drifting" - Chorus Breakdown - Andy McKee Guitar Lesson

[@jmc6326]

The thing that always amazes me about a song like this, is it's not impossible to play if you practice for a while, but I could never in a million years picture what it's like to be the guy that writes this tune

[@glr4764]

Can confirm; I'm a total beginner, got my guitar just less than 6 week ago, but practicing this almost everyday I have all of it down except the 'Bridge' part now down to a reasonable degree. Boy did it jack my fingers up though.

[@Mini-c137]

Nearly learned the verse, having bother getting the hammer on on the 6th of the 3rd string to land consistantly xs

[@MrSTPFAN1]

Well said. So true

[@deathcole]

how in the world do these videos not have more views? this is an awesome breakdown of his song. Thank you to Andy Mckee for this.

[@nbeutler1134]

everyone quit trying to learn after the second part of the tutorial haha

[@zbirdmusic]

Took me a good 3 months to get to this part

[@Sleepcycle831]

Throughout the last decade of being a guitarist, This song has stood as a “eventually ill be good enough to learn this” and thanks to your equally gifted ability to teach , im finally getting the hang of your incredible composition. Thanks for all you do man.

[@MrSTPFAN1]

I didn’t play my guitar for several months after first watching the original video posted to KZbin of this song as I felt that it would be disrespectful to you somehow as ridiculous as that sounds. I have been playing since I was 14 and I am now 41. Now that you have been so gracious by taking the time to breakdown this masterpiece, I feel that I can finally resume playing again without feeling the shame of knowing that you are out there still making this incredible music that in my humble opinion is revolutionary. Thank you so much for your contribution to broadening my perspective of what this instrument can become in the hands of a master. Thank you for this beautiful work of art.

[@MilkyDyll]

This keeps making me smile.. I'm so grateful. Andy you have no idea how happy you've made me. And the fact that you seem like such a nice guy makes it that much better. Cheers.

[@diveshchaudhary7266]

Andy is just as serene as his music. Thanks for the tutorial.

[@Ronin42069]

You are an amazing teacher!!! Best KZbin tutorial I’ve found yet!

[@soccerburndler7561]

So awesome! Pls don’t take it down. Practicing since 1,5 months and it’s so cool!!!!

[@joebolick112]

I was so motivated after watching this video, I listed all my guitars for sale on Reverb… Thanks Andy!

[@HarrrySpider]

Thank you VERY much Andy... wow, it's truly an expanding experience to see your technique broken down like this...

[@stevefrench3732]

Ive been playing the guitar for years and years and am trying to learn this. Talk about being a beginner again. I`m sure Andy`s got more than two hands. Totally brilliant

[@sc7244]

I suprisingly haven't found it overly challenging so far. I just started learning it today and managed to get through the verse & the chorus (didn't even bother with the intro for now lol). Not up to speed of course, but all the notes and percussive techniques are there. Just need to refine and move on. Can you play it now?

[@tricksterdaclair]

Such a big sensational song in 2006 still is today. Gratz m8 you have been an inspiration since then ! And thanks so much for that video feels great to be able to learn it !!!

[@dprice5280]

Went to see him live and was blown away. If I win the Lottery I’m gonna buy one of his signature guitars with the fanned frets.

[@dragonsanonymous]

Thank you so much for making this incredible tutorial. I LOVE your music, and percussive tap style is something I have wanted to play for a while but haven't found a song and tutorial that really facilitate it (I only play with five strings). With your help, I'm starting this new chapter in my guitar journey, and it's so rejuvenating! Thanks again 😊

Been going on an internet fast, I was sat in my room doing nothing, no screens just sat there and then for some reason this song came into my head, always thought it was cool but never thought I could learn it, 3 days later I can now play it 😁😁

[@esp_09]

Great lesson, and great song! Love playing this. Been loving this since first seeing your video in 2006!

[@Eh_O_Nico]

My god, that's hard. But It's definitely worth playing and learning! Thank you again, Andy!

[@TinyGoHomes]

How I didn’t find this years ago. This is awesome, where is my guitar… I’ll need to get one again.

[@EndlessResentment]

[@adamfabozzi6668]

This is awesome.... But anyone else chuckle when he says “we come down to the big D”

[@АртемШевердяев]

Это самый понятный разбор,который я видел!

[@joelwallenius2877]

I am struggling very much with stabilizing the guitar while pushing on the fretboard with my right hand. How am I supposed to stabilize it?

[@Stoffendous]

You use a nailgun to attach it to your body.

[@joelwallenius2877]

@@Stoffendous OK what are the nails made of? Titanium?

[@SoapGuitar]

Is no one gonna talk about how this song gives your borderline tendonitis

[@SoapGuitar]

That left arm really be feeling that 2 5 and 7 fret hammer on

[@borntofitvlog7027]

Love u boss ❤️

[@twrules1]

Hi Andy, awesome tutorial mate. Is there any chance you can break the ending down a bit more please? I think there's a missing part in there unless I'm just missing it
