4.0 out of 5 stars Great CD and the DVD was a welcome addition!, April 16, 2010

I discovered Andy on youtube as many did and bought Art of Motion instantly! I recently saw him on tour where he was selling this CD/DVD before they were released and got me a signed copy. It has been great follow up material to his previous stuff. I think the only drawback might be that he has some accompaniment on a few of his songs (cello or drum rhythm) that does add to the overall song, but might take away a little from his solo guitar. What I loved about Art of Motion was listening closely to all the sound that Andy alone could produce from his guitar and adding in another instrument 'muddies' it up a little at times. It is still a good overall end result and shouldn't keep you from picking this one up.

There is also a DVD included where he tells a little about his history and shows you around the guitar shop where he taught guitar lessons. He also plays some of his songs live (not youtube style... very professional). Lastly, he gives some instruction on how to tune and play a few of his songs. He still plays too fast for me as a beginner, but as I improve, I will come back and try to give some of these a shot.

I like that he is just a regular guy with an amazing talent and he remains humble through it all. Keep up the awesome work, Andy!

I loved this Cd and I liked that fact that it came with a Dvd packaged as well. It was great to not only hear Andy play but see him as well. A very talented artist and a good purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Joe Satriani of acoustic guitar, July 22, 2011

Six stars!

I stumbled across this guy on YouTube quite by accident and was blown away. Incredible technique combined with beautiful melodies. This is the most interesting music I've heard in a long time. This guy is the Joe Satriani of acoustic guitar. If you play any stringed instrument, then you must buy this album. If you claim to love music of any kind, then you must get this album. If you don't fall in love with these songs then either you are a cyborg or you have no soul...

Recommended. Go buy right now!
