Andy McKee!

I've been trying to learn this song for about 2 days now and have only figured out about 36 seconds into it at full-speed.

As the are no tabs openly available, learning by ear would have usually been my means of learning this song.
But, learning from the video is better for this song due to it's complexity.

Mr.McKee composes some of the craziest acoustics song I've ever heard. (Except the intro to Crazy On You from Heart, of course)

Back to learning I guess...

EDIT:
It would really help if I owned a baritone guitar like his!

EDIT: (again)
One a side note, here is one of the most disturbing videos I've ever seen and still make me laugh...

Spoiler!

Hey, that's some great acoustics played there in that video clip.

Beautiful. Post a vid of your 36 seconds.

Yeah, isn't he great?
I met him and he played a song called Drifting.

He's the reason I put my electric back in the closet and got the old acoustic out.

Will do.
I'll look for the ol' web cam and probably post it sometime tonight.

Drifting is crazy! He makes it look so easy.

Video 9 (from the menu) if anyone wanted to watch.

I tried playing that song as well.

The problem is he plays bariton guitars with MUCH lower string actions.
Playing Drifting with my standard tuned guitar is like taking knifes to my fingertips with those slides.
