It's Christmas! I want to see smiles in your faces! Hapyness! =DDDD

Art of Motion

Yesterday I posted childish posts (I'm evil! xD), so now I will post a serious one =) well, an hard one xD a critical appraisal text about an album xP "what? a critical appraisal text isn't difficult!"... it is easy... but for you xD And what album would I chose to post on my blog? "Art of Motion" of Andy Mckee! =D An amazing album... forget the voice and lyrics: just guitar and tabs. First of all, I ought to thank my guitar teacher for giving me this album =D and autographed by the own Andy Mckee! *.* thank you thank you thank you! =P
This album has 12 tracks and it was recorded and released in 2005 by the label Candyrat Records (that label records also Antoine Dufour albums and other excellent musicians).
Before start 'talking' about the album, I must say a few words before. Andy is thirty years old, he started playing the guitar when he was 13 (wow! O.O) and he only had one year and half of electric guitar lessons. My God, he is an animal... no, a monster... wait, what describe is development better is... beast! *.*
In this simple album we can hear guitar songs, all made by Andy, with fingerstyle technique.
The image of the album is all relative with painting. In fact, it fits with the name of te album "Art of Motion", because in the back of the album there is a painting of Andy playing his harpguitar, which makes us think about movement, in other words motion, when we imagine he is playing.
Another great idea to make this album even better was, in the liner notes, write all the story behind each piece. Thus, instead of listening and memorize the songs, we listen and then we try to understand the feelings of Andy when he wrote each song. Believe me, is an incredible experience. Hapiness and sadness... Movement and experience... we almost can feel it and understand what he got through in a little piece of his life. After all, that's the point of this album.

Tracklist:
1 - Art of Motion
2 - When She Cries
3 - Drifting
4 - For My Father
5 - Practice Is Perfect
6 - Shanghai
7 - Into The Ocean
8 - Nocturne
9 - Heather's Song
10- Samus' Stardrive
11- Keys To The Hovercar
12- Rylynn

What gave more success to Andy an be famous on youtube were the videos which he was playing "Drifting", "Rylynn" and "Into The Ocean". His songs are extremely hard to play, but I can play the beggining of "Drifting" and the first 2:13 time of "Rylynn" ^.^ but soon I will learn "Practice is Perfect", because is my favourite song of this album.
In my opinion, this is an excellent album to all who want to improve guitar skills or that love this type of music: fingerstyle.
Here I let a very simple movie I made with the song "Practice is Perfect". I searched on youtube, but the only film with this song was about a crochet project... So I decided to do one on movie maker with Andy pics xP pics placed randomly xD Enjoy!



You can also visit his official website on www.andymckee.com, which as his forum and upcoming shows.
Also, go to http://www.myspace.com/andymckee2 where you can find funny pics and information about his life xP

When I saw Andy Mckee for the first time on youtube, he automatically became an idol to me. Today, he isn't an idol anymore... he is an hero! Thanks Andy for all your love and music! Keep playing buddy! One entire generation is applauding you and blessing your work! =P

The Turkey Song

Well, in the 26th November, in the USA, was thanksgiving day... I didn't remember (sorry!) so today I will post something related with thanksgiving and music.
We all know it's a day to express our happiness, friendship, love, etc. We all think we are enjoying the event! But there is an animal which is the only one is completly screwed up in this time of the calender: the turkey! =( and there it is! a song very popular which talks precisely about that xD and think a bit... it wouldn't be better eat carrots instead of the poor turkey? xD just kidding!
p.s.: read fast, ok? xD the lyrics are faster than the song xP

Christmas

Almost in Christmas! xD

My Favourite Bands

It doesn't fit at the right in a gadjet, so I posted here xD
Just a litle tribute =)

Toccata & Fugue in D minor

This is probably the classical piece I like most. Is from Bach and is played in church (church is the name of the instrument... is also called as pipe organ). This is an excellent interpretation of Kurt Ison in the Sydney Town Hall and it shows the power of the music in the XVII century. Simply amazing. He plays with hands and foots! O.O Probably you have already listen this song xP this is a big clip, so just see it if you have already done all the homework from shcool xP enjoy!

Antoine Dufour

Last week I discovered the name of the guitar player of my "4 hands guitar playing" post in my blog xP He's called Antoine Dufour, he is French-Canadian and is simply amazing... he is completely recognizable with his red bandana tied around the end of his acoustic guitar's neck above the nut. xD
His technique is completly supernatural... doing all those hard harmonics... but his creativity is a little bit under of Andy Mckee. I hope in holidays show you more songs of his own =) enjoy 'development'! one of the songs I like most =P

Christmas Countdown!
