Andy Mckee (Guitar) plays Africa (Toto)

Got this off Ern Sheong‘s blog, but have been playing it mad whenever I’m stressed.

Still the 80’s baby I am 🙂 You can compare it with the original soundtrack here:

Andy is really amazing. Whether it is due to the selection of pieces (that was shared on youtube at least) or just pure virtuosity, he manages to bring out a sense of calmness while he’s intensely strumming away. I especially like how his does his little lost of tempo in the middle of the chorus of Africa, where he speeds up unnoticed, giving that 3rd dimension to the quality and dynamics of the guitar sound that’s already stretched to its limits.

Not enough? Here’s Drifting:
