Andrew York - Sunburst, Jubilation 

one of the GOATs as far as contemporary classical composition goes

Out of this world!

The best

Why does this man have 5.6k subscribers instead of at least ten times more? He might be the best composer and guitar player alive today. Seriously, talent like this is not something common.

Andrew, this is without a doubt the best thing I've ever heard anyone play on a guitar.

As a bassoonist, this makes me smile so very much. Thank you Andrew York!

Andrew York is the best! So innovative with his composition.

I found this song on spotify I don't even know how but I love it!

It's amazing how he goes from the calmness of 1:45 to breaking the laws of physics by playing the fast movements of 3:47

Dear mr York, Andrew, Your playing went through my soul, one can only be silent during and afterwards this beautifull performance, bravo!

Wow! I'm speechless.

My brother played this at his college graduation at university of Tennessee (Martin) in the late 90’s… He is an adjunct professor there now still teaching guitar. No doubt you were an inspiration in his glide path. And, I damn sure enjoy listening to you when I need to close my eyes and just hit that higher plane. This sir, is absolutely timeless.

His volume/dynamics is so flawless

I've heard John Williams and several other virtuoso artists play Sunburst. But to my ears, no one comes even close to the beauty of Andrew York playing his own composition.

After 10 years of listening sunburst I still enjoying it a lot. Just a masterpiece.

Heard this song back in school and just remembered it today at the end of college. Couldn't for the life of me remember the name and searched through my chats because I knew I'd recommended it to my friends back then. This piece still fills me up with pure joy and I think it's one of the supreme achievements of acoustic guitar. Bravo!

A modern guitar masterpiece, Im very happy that you've added to our repertoire with this brilliant piece

Just relearned this after learning it in sophomore year of highschool (very sloppily) playing it through again felt like a warm hug from an old friend.

This piece never ceases to elate and inspire me.

What an astonishing piece of art! This song used to be my favorite song when I played classical guitar. What a nostalgia..

Hace muchos años escuché esta pieza. Soy de Guadalajara en México. La compré en una convención de guitarristas en San Antonio hace como 15 o 20 años... Recuerdo a mi papa Qepd que era un excelente conocedor de guitarra que le encantó la obra. Y yo tenía un alumno de guitarra principiante que hoy es cantante de ópera, que al principio de la clase siempre me pedìa que la tocara. Al escuchar esta introducción majestuosa la pieza comienza a volar más. Y una de mis favoritas es "Home". Siempre pienso en mi familia cuando la toco. Admirable tu poder en la guitarra. Tengo 60 y por exceso de estudio, me lastimé la mano izquierda y llevo un mes sin tocar. El segundo médico que me vió me diò un mal diagnóstico y me deprimí mucho, pero después de las radiografías y estudios de sangre, el médico estaba equivocado y eso me dió mucha esperanza. Estoy esperando recuperarme al 100% para poder seguir adelante. De mis autores preferidos siempre. Enhorabuena Andrew.

We have so many unsung heroes of music like Mr. York. Let his composition be a tribute to all of them past, present, and future.

" Very Special Sounds and Componing on Great Approccic in This Style Playing Guitar ". .. So' Good ... ☺😊😀/💙💙💙/👍👌👏👋

What an amazing piece of work. This song sounds equally incredible but so different on steel strings. This piece means a lot to me. Been playing it for 20 years, and it never gets redundant or less challenging. Thanks for writing it, Mr. York.

Wow!

This is the best version i ever seen!

Wow, what a mindblowing piece. This guy is a first rate composer! At 3:15 it sounds just like something Pat Metheny plays...I wonder if that is intentional or just a coincidence.

Sunburst brings classical guitar to the new world!

Thanks for sharing your talent with us.

Andrew York is the Master of guitar!!!

Three years ago I spent days practising this piece, though I could never achieve even half of Maestro York's level. Nevertheless, playing the piece was an elating and rewarding experience, no less so than listening to it.

Bravo!

One of the most beautiful passages of music played on guitar I have ever heard. I feel so good inside when I hear this song.

wow!!!! this is astonishing!!!! So beautiful!

A genious!

Just wow am in awe

Must cover this. It's on my list!

I've had the lucky to learn this piece when I was in 8th grade, in middle school and still now after many years I'm happy to play it sometimes to bring back memories and sensations! Thanks a lot for your work

fantastic

One of my Favourite pieces !

I love this.

What a thrill-ride of a piece.

Grazie MR. YORK! La tua musica fa volare!

Hi Andrew. Thank you so much for writing Sunburst. It is my favorite piece to play on an acoustic guitar. It makes me happy :)

Amazing !

It's been a while since a guitar piece has melted my face.

Wonderful piece! I hear some Led Zeppelin influences in there...am I crazy?

Love it - Great Performance - he makes a tuning adjustment at just after 3:30 - while playing - he must have noticed in earlier and thought ahead / waited for the moment to make the adjustment - not easy - especially while on camera like this - wow! Anyway - one of my favorites performances of this song - he seems pretty happy too at the end! cool!

bravo, amazing.

What strikes me most when watching his performances is the sensation that there is absolutely no tension in his left hand. And of course, his music is awesome.

Absolutely brilliant!

I never get tired of coming back here. This is one of the most beautiful guitar compositions of all time, easily.

Wonderful to hear it played by the man himself. What chops!

원곡을 듣게 되니 영광입니다.

The introduction is amazing

I learned this badger a while back, I don’t think I’ve got it in the locker anymore but Andrew makes it look effortless! I’m gonna give it a go!

This is fabulous dear Andrew ! Technique out of the ordinary, and inspiration at its highest level. I have often listened to your fabulous composition, but I always discover in your musical phrases inventive gems. How can we put 106 dislikes on such a music ?👿 You are a lighthouse of the guitar, and I, in my little nut shell of amateur musician, am happy to guide my boat in this so beautiful artistic light. I wish you a wonderful weekend. Musical greetings, Phil 🎵👍

York is simply unbelievable, his music is so heartfelt and sincere.

You are inspirational

Very good video editing.

Wonderful, great exhibition!

Really fantastic as always. Oof. That ending.

Beautiful piece and performance!

wonderfully uplifting..

My nephew Michael Gullo played it today for his concert with Pepperdine n Nailed It!!;))

Love Sunburst!

Absolutely marvellous piece and performance. Nothing else need to be said.

wow

Espectacular!!!!

I had the pleasure of seeing John Williams play this live. It was my first introduction to the genius and artistry of Andrew York. I never tire of listening to him and his music. Thanks for sharing the video.

Breathtaking ! Truly wonderful !

3:48 blows my mind

Спасибо большое! Thank you very much!

beautiful piece :)

Great playing, love your skills.

Goddamn incredible

Qué maravilla!!

i love this song! i usually listening to this song when driving time！ from japanese fun

Having that familiar feeling again as a semi-intermediate classical guitarist. You know, the one where you think "I can play that Andrew York piece", and then a minute into it...

Magnifique

i love this!

pure joy!

jesus..so many guitarists out there... very good but this one actually makes you cry... thank you so much K

This is the best recording of this in my opinion

Just WOW!!

I'll be playing this amazing piece at a concert on Friday!

Beauty shaped by sounds through the guitar

Outstanding playing! Love that you write your own music; refreshing!❤

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🙏🙏😊😊

Nice to hear the composer's version! (Not widely known that Christopher Parkening wrote the musical intro)

Very nice - obviously at 3.17 this turns for a few bars into the very famous Phase Dance - Pat Metheny's signature tune since 1977. Nice to see great guitarists paying tribute to other great guitarists!

Just effing amazing. I love John Williams' rendition of this; however, Mr. York is the ORIGINAL and I respect that.

Love him.. And love discover the contemporary classical guitar :)

abrazos arcoiris

amazing!

As a jazz fan, I have to admit progression lifted from Pat Metheny's 'Phase Dance' really strikes a warm chord in me ;-)

Desconocía esa introducción... Es espectacular!! Gracias

👏 muy bien la improvisación. Grande Andrew!

Love how he tuned up the guitar on the fly, champ

I'm learning this peace at the moment. He is amazing.
