Years now . . . and I’ve never had a bad moment in my life when listening to Andrew York play guitar. 👏👏❤️
Wow, thank you very much for your beautiful comment, Kenneth!
His playing brings a sense of peace and beauty and calm. This piece reminds me of "Home" but different. A unique artist perfect for our time.
Thank you very much, Ken!
difficult to find words that fully convey the beauty and power of his creations in sound. To say he is ‘special’ is such an understatement - Andrew has a very keen intellect ( he shares some of his diverse interests on his Den site) AND the talent of a gifted and passionate artist. I often listen his music for hours at a time.
I thought the same thing Ken
I can’t get enough of his artistry I’ve loved him for so long! As he ages, he gets richer therefore so do we. And I love that he makes some of his music accessible to us intermediates. I am 68 years old just working on my level six exam from CGCA and this old lady. Thanks to you Andrew for your inspiration. I met you 1 million years ago in Millersville Pennsylvania when you signed my copy of a Sketch for Jeff.
I so agree, very beautiful and calming.
I always get a kick out of the fact that after each and every well-deserved compliment below, you always thank the person who commented. Proof that you are a truly nice guy!
and I really liked this piece.
Thank you very much, Steve. I'm very grateful for all these beautiful comments here and very happy to hear what people think about my music and how it affects them.
Such a lovely little piece - we all feel it, we get it, thank you for it, and share the feeling. I just need to know how I can get Annette to make me one of those caps…
Thank you very much, Terry. Yes, those caps are great!
You only have to hear the first few bars and you just know its going to be a piece of great beauty. And it is! Pieces like this bring the classical guitar into the hearts of us all.
Thank you very much for your beautiful message, David!
Annette's touch is abundantly obvious in the backdrop used to highlight this beautiful musical piece. It's all too easy to assume that throwing a musician into a natural setting will make the visual interesting. I know from experience (because I've been guilty of this myself) that even the most beautiful of natural backgrounds can just "eat up a player." I'm learning as I go that a scene still must have context even if it is stunningly beautiful in its own right. So, I couldn't help but notice that Annette perfectly (and literally) framed you within the brick-work, trellis, and garden building, adding the visual context the scene needed. Great teamwork! ✌
Thank you very much, Herr Unsinn!
Thank you very much, Herr Unsinn. But the praise belongs to Andy. He is the one who chose the spot and made it look good 😀. I only filmed and edited the video.
@@AnnetteYork I stand corrected. That said, you both do marvelous work. 😇
It feels to me so like the other side of Sunburst, like a mirror reflecting a different calmer part of the more raucous Sunburst day!
Thank you very much for your beautiful message, Tony!
In my humble - this has the hallmark of 'Home' about it - it haunts the senses and like Home it will change colour and mood every time it is played. For me it's like looking at a master work in a gallery - every angle changes the hue, the perspective and the pleasure.
Peter, thank you very much for your beautiful comment!
Wow! This is one of the prettiest sounding songs I've ever heard. Your music and talent are so inspiring, thank you Andrew for gifting the world with yet another masterpiece!!
My thanks to you for watching/listening, and for your beautiful comment, Carlos!
From the sound of it, you've had an amazing and beautiful life thus far, Andrew. May your best days still be ahead of you!
Thank you very much, Kevin!
Isn't life sweet? Surely, you just have to listen to this new piece by Andrew and you will be convinced for sure. What a gift this song is!
Top marks for composition, interpretation and instrument.
Thank you very much for your beautiful comment, Helmut!
Vorfreude ist die schönste Freude 🎸🎶🫠
I wonder who enjoyed more, me as I was listening or him as he was playing.
What a beautiful and positive tune, thank you.
Thank you very much, Mohsen!
Wow! If only emojis had hearts for ears!!! 😍🥰
Thank you very much, overlystrung!
I wish I could give this a million like.
Thank you very much, Charles. That would be nice!
I began to feel light. Then I passed through the ceiling, and flew. I went from a nice blue sky to a immense plain of grass, a majestic tree in the middle of it.
After the sun started to fall behind the horizon. It became a maelström of stars and dust.
After a whole turn of beauty, I opened my eyes.
I am just... relieved and gratefull. You, sir, dear Andrew are a jewel, a lighthouse in the dark.
THANK you so much for the music, and showing once again how powerful it is !
Thank you very much for your beautiful comment, Bvuiit!
So wonderful to be playing outside when the weather agrees. This is really a beautiful piece. Thanks for posting.
My thanks to you for watching/listening, Steve!
The whole scene with the barn back there. The gentle breeze blowing the wild grapes. The old fashioned brick steps just lends an air to the beauty. The free-flowing beauty of this piece I could just sense that you're just your freedom of playing is so expressive and joyful showing us with the sweet life. Looks like I loved playing like that too. Just allowing my spirit to just explore the different chords. I love the way it changed. Key was so cool! Thank you brother Andrew
Thank you very much for your beautiful message, James. I appreciate that!
This marvelous composition begins with apparent simplicity and expands into complex variations that will challenge the accomplished player. The tonal variations up the neck reward repeated listening. Maestro York's body of work explores contemporary sensibilities while resting on timeless melodic principles. To watch these mature tunes appear in glorious CZcams videos is to witness in our time an emerging repertoire for the classical guitar that musicians in the future will look back on as we do now to Sor and Tarrega and Villa-Lobos. What a delight!
Heng Sure, I'm honored by the depth of your comment on Sweet Life! Thank you and I wish we could find ourselves in the same place at the same time and share some stories.
Bravo Andy! What a lovely and exquisite statement on the beauty of life and music. 👍👍❤❤👍👍
Thank you very much for your beautiful message, Mark my friend!
Beautiful piece, Mr. York. And wonderfully played, as always.
Thank you very much, Ryan!
Unbelievable, perfect, it just rings and sings and plucks heartstrings. You can feel the melody. Wow... Thank you for sharing this, Andrew!
Thank you very much for your kind message, and for watching/listening. Stuart!
Kinda reminded me of "Knowing".
I think one could make a neat mashup of the two by mixing phrases from one into the other.
Thank you very much, Anton!
a short piece of love.
Thank you very much, 飛田野正人-san!
O wie schön , ich möchte mehr hören 😂🎸🎶👏Danke lieber Andrew .
Vielen Dank für's Zuhören und Anschauen, Renate!
Beautiful as always maestro! Beauty, life and music themselves in this video!
Thank you very much, Andreas!
Jetzt ist es endlich soweit :))
Grüß dich Renate
Grüße zurück 😊
We can appreciate how closely related life and music are, especially when you are a musician. This nostalgic musical piece evokes that. I hope that you never stop composing music. I love your channel.
Thank you very much for your beautiful message, musicalbilities!
So very lovely, Andrew, and a beautiful. peaceful setting as well. Bravo! 👏
Thank you very much, Bob!
Sehr schönes Stück, toller Klang und wunderbar gespielt! Man spürt beim Zuhören den Ausdruck von essentieller Hoffnung, Liebe und Dankbarkeit. So sage auch ich: Danke Andy
Vielen Dank, liebe Christine. Bist Du die Christine die Annie und ich durch die Städtische Musikschule in Mönchengladbach kennen gelernt haben???
@@AndrewYorkguitar Ja, die bin ich. Schöne Grüße aus Old Germany. Wenn ihr noch einmal nach D kommt sollten wir vielleicht noch einmal über ein Konzert nachdenken...
Amazing . Congratulations of the São Paulo , Brazil.
Thank you very much, Dener. Greetings from California to Sao Paulo!
This is really sweet and touching! Tanks so much Andrew, for this amazing piece of music and for sharing it with us! Be blessed and kind regards from Gernany, Bettina
Many thanks for your beautiful message, Bettina. Greetings from California back to Germany!
Beautiful. As always, thank you for sharing your compositions with us.
My thanks to you for watching/listening, Cap'n Nobeard!
Early York tunes seem to have often taken inspiration from past musical forms. Later York tunes seem to have often taken the form of songs without words. A lot of Mendelssohn's songs without words fit nicely on guitar too. I seem to remember an old Gerald Garcia recording.
Thank you very much, Owen!
One of the best I have heard you put out recently, infused with passions and grace.
Thank you very much, zenphony!
His best piece for a long time. No idea why he doesn't publish these with tablature as well as standard notation for those of us who are slow to read SN.
Sweet and beautiful melody 😊
Thank you very much, Malgorzata!
Exquisite ! What a tremendous talent you are Andrew !
Thank you very much, Lou my friend!
Beautiful, thank you, thank you, thank you
My thanks to you for watching/listening, Ricardo!
Just gorgeous! Thank you!!!
Thank you very much, Jerry!
Beautiful 🎶
Thanks, Svätoslav!
Sweet...even the leaves are swaying to your beautiful music! More of these gem pieces please!
😃
Thank you very much, Andrew!
as always, thank you for your artistic efforts! this is another gem and a gift for us classical guitar lovers
Thank you very much for your beautiful comment, Gian!
It’s so inspiring that Andrew’s “tunes” are so beautiful yet so approachable for us bedroom players: It’s far more satusfying to be able to get the fingering down (nearly!) and to then work on being as expressive as Maestro York, rather than struggling with left and right hand pyrotecnics that will never sound accomplished, no matter how hard and long you practice.
He has music that has whole lots of "pyrotechnics"
Thank you very much, sobellfanatic!
Yes indeed. Thank you very much, luke211286!
@@luke211286 Yes, I've heard Sunburst, Equations "h" etc. What I mean is he takes time and care to compose simpler pieces as well, so that players of all ability can enjoy his work.
Beautiful piece. Nice on the ears. You certainly are making this look easy.--lol
5 STARS!
--Van
Thank you very much, van1976!
Gentle mountain stream of melody and beautiful visual setting - perfect!
Tim my friend, thank you very much!
Ruedas,propulsores o alas...quien los necesita para viajar teniendo ésta magnífica composición musical. ENHORABUENA.
Thank you very much for your wonderful message, Alfredo. I appreciate that!
Un honor Andrew, mil gracias!!
Absolutely lovely!
Daniel, thank you very much!
Fascinating! I do like the melody, as well as it's deceptive simplicity... I say ‘deceptive’, because it conceals impressive technique and fluidity of performance... Thank you! I've learned a lot from this song.
Thank you very much, Степан!
❤💚❤
Hi Andy,
a wonderful new piece!
It gives me a similar feeling as I had with "Home". A good familiar feeling.
Thank you for this new gem.
Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland,
Günter
Vielen Dank, Günter my friend. Greetings from Redlands to Essen!
Bravo 👏
Thank you, Thierry!
Great work as always Andrew. You've created such a great repertoire of compositions for future generations. Thank you!
Thank you very much, duaneadam!

Thank you very much, Paolobaldo62!
Hi my dear Andrew - san ☘️ It’s so comfortable and beautiful melody ☺️💕 I’ve come to love this song so much 🍃🩷🍃 Thank you so much for your wonderful performance 🙏☺️💕
Thank you very much for your kind message, 小沢まゆみ-san!
@@AndrewYorkguitar It’s my pleasure ! I was surprised to see my name written in Japanese by you. Also, I appreciate you adding 'san' after my name 🙇♀️☺️ Sometimes, I watching videos you post that give me a Japanese vibe. Do you like Japan ? …I have been studying English for a few years, but lately I have been slacking off 😂 I struggle to use the different atmospheres that each English word carries. Also, every time I learn an 'idiom', my head becomes a mess💦 Language is made up of a country's history and culture, so it is never easy to master😅 But I I will continue to study little by little☘️😊
小沢まゆみ-san, thank you very much for another beautiful message. First of all, your English is excellent! Yes, I love Japan. Japan is my favorite country, and I love the culture very much. I've visited about 15 times, and I can't wait to go back, hopefully in February 2024. I've composed a piece called "Roasted Green Tea" because I love hojicha. Here is the link if you would like to have a listen: czcams.com/video/SB2H3SC6gZk/video.html
@@AndrewYorkguitar Wow, you came to here (Japan) about 15 times ! And then, yes as you said ‘Hojicha’ is roasted green tea 😉 It has a very rich aroma. I also like hojicha the most. Andrew-san, thank you for the URL of ‘Roasted green tea’. I appreciate your kindness ☘️🙇♀️❤️ I can't wait for you to come to Japan in February 2024 ! I would be happy to see you then !😆💕
As a recently Retired Civil Engineer/ Construction Manager and keen Amateur Musician, this is my next aim in life to play this most beautiful instrument to the best of my ability.....thanks Andrew for giving me that continued inspiration...…
My thanks to you for watching/listening to my music, Christopher!
Beautiful as always!
Thank you very much, Aviation!
@@AndrewYorkguitar I've been a fan of yours since 1989 after working up Sunburst. I studied with your friend Chris Parkening and David Brandon back then. :)
A very beautiful composition and performance. Very enjoyable. I love the guitar sound too.
Thank you very much, Rick!
Sublime!
Thank you very much, SickFX1
Wonderful piece once again. No doubt that we will find lot of versions on YT soon. 👏
Thank you, Hervé!
Thank you Andrew, your playing gives us such joy. I was fortunate enough to be able to see you live at a performance you gave in NYC in February of this year and I was mesmerized.
Thank you very much, Gep. I'm glad you made it to the concert!
Beautiful piece and played with such emotion (as always). I have played classical guitar for many years, but you were a major inspiration for me starting to compose for classical guitar. Now I compose for much more. Thanks for the continued inspiration!!
Thank you very much, James!
It brings me so much joy to hear such beautiful music; what a brilliant mind! Thank you.
Thank you very much, Victor!
Another beautiful composition here.
Thank you very much, battlestarclassica!
So Beautiful. Love his work. So perfect ♥️♥️♥️

A while ago my "husband" (my ex now)mentioned me in one of your Instagram videos, you liked his comment we were so thrilled, but now as I am telling the story, he's not my husband anymore! I want to send thanks to him through your music because he introduced me to the classical guitar world
Magrabi if you are reading my comment, I doubt it hehe

May your pieces live on. They are so well constructed bringing joy and peace to those that hear them. 🙏❤️
Many thanks, Timothy!
Bravo! Wonderful. FWIW, you also composed one of my favorite modern pieces (Sunburst). It still gives me wonder and joy 25 years later.
Thank you very much, Seymour. I'm glad to hear that!
Bellísima obra, despierta sentimientos muy profundos del alma. Excelente arquitectura e inmejorable interpretación. Bravo, maestro York. Y que sigan naciendo tan bellas composiciones. Un afectuoso saludo desde Bogotá. Bravo 👏

There are always new stars to discover in the York universe. Fortunately, you can download them from the sky. The rest is hard work, but I'm sure it will work out in the end. So the sheet music is ordered, and then Sweet Life can begin, with a lot of patience and just as much joy in the music. Thank you, Andrew!
Many thanks for your beautiful comment, and for purchasing the sheet music. I appreciate that very much, MCaradoc!
I'm sure happy this came up in my feed this morning. My first time hearing you! Love it. Thanks so much for this Monday morning inspiration!
