That said, I wanted to ''pay my respects'' To Andy for enlightening my life with the music he makes. And I hope Ill have a nice time here on these forums with you people.

I've only played guitar for about 2 years now, And I got all the basics under controll - But when I first saw Andy ( Or Antoine or Craig) It just blew my mind, I never knew I had SOMUCH more to learn.

So after listening to candy rat songs continously for 3 weeks - I want to give it a shot, So I went to my local guitar go-to-guy-store-thing. And I told hm I wanted to try out some songs ( had him listen to them ) and told him the tuning I wanted(DADGAD) to use for my steel string guitar And I asked him what strings would be best to use for said tuning. And this is where he could not give me a anwser.

So I kinda need some help, What strings would you guys recommend for -DADGAD- ?? Grabbed me some .11 .12 .13 Just incase.

O and excuse me IF anything of the above sounds insanly stupid.]]> First off - I'm new here, and my spelling sucks!

I know the odds are pretty slim, but if you ever though about selling it, please don't hesitate to contact me! I'd be very interested!

So far I've learned just the really basic and beginner songs from a couple of artists like Andy McKee (Rylynn for example), and the simpler stuff by people like Antoine Dufour, Tommy Emmanuel, Maasaki Kishibe and Isato Nakagawa.

I haven't played anything new in a while and would really love to get some recommendations by the good people at this forum. Hopefully I'll be able to some day progress to the point where I'm able to play the currently impossible songs XD. In the mean time, I'd really appreciate any songs that my fellow intermediate players could share, thanks!!]]>

I've been a fan of Andy's music for a while, I think everything about his music is great. There isn't one song from his collection that I don't enjoy. A lot of his song titles are very interesting, and make me wonder where he got the inspiration for the particular tune. I've read the FAQ where he explained things like who Rylynn was, and Heather is, but what I'm asking of Andy is if he could go more in depth in explaining what these and more of his songs were inspired by. I understand that many of them could be personal, or maybe you just don't think it's necessary for us to know. I also understand that you're on a busy schedule, so I don't expect a speedy response.

All in all, I've just always been curious about this, so if you ever get the time, some insight would be much appreciated!]]>

Anyway I started playing Tribes after playing it at a friends house. We played the shifter mod and would do base defense. Tons of fun was had as we would watch people come flying into a ton of turrets. I remember Tribes:RPG being my first RPG. It is a total conversion switching it from FPS with guns to an FPL (first-person slasher?) It added a bunch of skills, magic (#cast firebomb), things like stealing, mining, and literally pushed the Tribes engine to its limits hitting the 400 max item count. Basically Tribes introduced me to online gaming and the only game I think that has had an equal impact on me would have to be Dark Age of Camelot.

Though one of my fondest memories would have to be while playing shifter a friend and I set off on a transport ship to deploy an airbase VERY high above the enemy base. After deploying the base we setup a teleporter and would drop down on the enemy base in Jugernaught armor with nukes delivered right to their front door. One one such drop I landed right infront of a player who just stopped moving looked at me, looked up, looked at me then blew up. Never once did he fire at me and based off his reactions I can only imagine his surprise.

Does anyone else have any fond memories?

Interesting fact, at one point pirating of Tribes was so bad that more players were online then copies of the game sold.]]>

second, i've been composing a song over the past day or so and i'm quite fond of it but i would like to get some opinions/tips/suggestions etc. from folk who actually know what they're talking about rather than friends and family just replying "oh thats nice".

Here's a link (hosted for streaming):

(not sure if i'm allowed to post links to outside addresses and stuff, if not, i apologise =D)

This is just a real rough recording of pretty much the whole song.

any criticisms/praises/insults are all welcome..well maybe not so much the insults, but feel free anyway.]]>

well, I don't know if that was just a one-time thing to see how things are going...but if it's not, maybe you'll see this message...

I just wanted to tell you how incredible your music is. I had never heard of this kind of music (beautiful, instrumental, guitar music that geniuses like you, don ross, antoine dufour, etc. create) before I accidentally found drifting on youtube. It really inspired me to play more guitar, and I'm getting better than I ever thought I could possibly be (but I still have a long way to go). I showed my family and friends your videos, and they were amazed too (especially my dad, who is thrilled that I have been playing guitar, as he comes from a very musical family).

I know that you probably get these kind of fan messages a lot...but I just wanted to thank you so much for making such beautiful music. If not for you, I probably would have never known about this incredible genre of music, and I probably would have just quit playing guitar.

Thank you so much for creating such beautiful music]]>

This is a LONG shot but heck, atleast I tried:
I've come down to the US all the way from bombay and checked out your site today only to realize that you did an "impromptu" show in NYC on the 11th!! I'd be visiting NYC between 20-24th of June.

Is is possible for you to do one of those impromptu shows in NYC AGAIN???????

You have a sizeable following in Bombay but I know that it's going to take you a lot more than that to make a trip down there!

Once again, PLEASE PLEASE perform in NYC between 20-24th June. I'll keep checking your website for updates.

In desperate anticipation,
