Common Ground 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!

Holy crap Andy McKee is just too freakin good.  Surely the government is going to step in soon and say it's illegal to play this well.  Anarchy will ensue, babies will cry, cats and dogs will fall from the sky, and the skies will turn a deep purple.  And it'll all be because Andy McKee rocks too hard.

Best song i've heard from Andy. Went straight into my heart.

By far the nastiest version of this song, the thumb stroke/drum on the break is just an amazing touch!!!

[Geotubest]

Sheesh....the control, the dynamics.. incredible. Love Andy and Tony McManus playing these Greenfields.

[olliemac]

Always come back to this song. Mainly to hear 1:00 - 1:30

1year of learning this one finally I have perfected Andy's facial expressions 😅

[fredvvoe]

Unreal ! Thank you for sharing your gift with the world !!!

I love the slight modifications Andy's made to this song over the years. The album version is fairly straight forward, while what's played here has a lot of embellishments that has more of a flowing sound, and the dynamics only add to that. That raking across the strings during the chorus is just way too cool. This is easily my favorite recording of anything I've heard from him.

I refuse to allow that I don't know how to play this song.
I'm going to learn this song, TODAY. NO EXCUSES!

기타를 보니 악기보다는 예술품으로 생각됩니다
소리가 무척 단단하고 깊이가 있네요
너무도 갖고픈 그린필드 기타입니다
