    Well, the man modded his own signature guitar. Respect.

    One of my all time favorite pieces of music. This speaks,to me at least,on a deep level. Much respect Andy!

    One of the absolute best guitarist I have ever had the pleasure to hear live.

    What an incredibly good teacher! This is fast becoming one of my all time favourite pieces of guitar music.
  • Andy, as soon as you started playing that riff, I had an internal sensation like getting into a hot bath. I've listened to your music more than any other artist over the past year, especially Resolution. Many, many dog walks late at night have been spent with your music in my ears. Your phrasing, melodies, tone and balance between aggression and sensitivity just really touch my heart and I want to say thank you. Please keep on making more music, and putting out more content on YouTube like this so that I can continue being inspired and learn from you.

    Holy smokes. How am I just now hearing this great piece. AND to get insights from the man himself! Feel like I just tripped and stumbled into gold. Keep on keepin' on Andy!
  • One of the coolest touches to his new guitar is that they shaped the pick guard after his old broken one.
