Andy McKee - Africa

I’m starting a minimalist tab, but that’s gonna take ages >__>

I just found the exact tuning and the very beginning riff :

Tuning : DGDGAD - Capo 2nd Fret

[0:00] - Basic Left Hand Pattern - Add Rythm
||------------2h0-------2h0------2h0-----------2h0--
||----------------2h0p2-----2h0p2------2h0p2h0------
||---------4----------------------------------------
||--5---4-------------------------------------------
||---------4----------------------------------------
||--5---4-------------------------------------------

Any Help appreciated !

10 000 Bravo….!

Andy talks about his tunings on his forums. Check out http://andymckee.jconserv.net/viewtopic.php?t=2

And that’s all…… I don’t know if this is right…. can anyone please help me with the rest

All of you are crazy this guy is amazing no one can copy his talent!

@ Dave “All of you are crazy this guy is amazing no one can copy his talent!”

That is like saying no one can play basketball because no one is as good as Michael Jordan. No one is trying to “copy his talent”. People are trying to learn Andy’s unique songs so that they can improve their guitar playing.

have anyone got tab for ‘Rylynn’? plz, mail me!
svensson81@gmail.com

i need also all tabs of andy mckee
especially rylynn!!

illu42@web.de

Hey I have set 3 (For My Father,Nocturne,Keys to the Hovercar,Dreamcatcher)and set 5 (Rylynn,Ouray,Common Ground,I Will See You Again) which I have purchased off of the Candyrat website, willing to trade any of the tabs for the africa tab…drop me an email
I will not give them away for free, he is an amazing artist and deserves our support…I just don’t want to pay 20 dollars for 1 tab
thanks

perm_14@hotmail.com

You can purchase the sets here, they come with the song itself as well as the tab (4 tabs/songs per set), along with a list of his tunings for all his songs

http://www.candyrat.com/artists/AndyMcKee/ArtOfMotion/

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE SEND ME THE AFRICA TAB…PLEASE…. PLEASE……PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE………..FOR THE LOVE OF GOD………

this is so gnarly..
I’m tryin to figure it out, but i do know that some of the chords from 1:10 - 1:36 and 2:16 - 2:42 and 3:11 - 3:47 are Gbm, D, A, E and Dbm based on the original song by Toto. Andy Mckee could be using those chords (and he probably is) but it will take some time to figure out the chords in DGDGAD tuning.

awsome guitar playing. it’s been a few years since i didn’t touch a guitar and now i’m coming back.

i see the tuning and once i get a software to slow the video down, i might be able to have this tabbed for you guys. But then again, i might have forgotten how to play the guiat.

anyways, awsome guitar playing dude!
i’ll make sure to include you in my blogsite so all of my friends can see!

Hey, I have full tabs of Africa by Andy Mckee (and oryginal), please contact me one of the administrrators or something like this:P i will send you tabs and you will share them with others on this website ok?
Mail me. =)
I don’t want to show my mail there because i dont have time send it to thausends people
And btw, tabs are in pdf so some1 have to rewrite them ;( to GP or notepage…
PS.Sorry for my not advanced English:P …

You have the tabs of africa?

Did the owner of this page wrote to you so it can be
downloded from anywhere?
Or can you send it do me? That would be great.

Write to me…

Somebody who like you, I will trade you Rylynn or For My Father for the Africa tab.

perm_14@hotmail.com

somebody who like you

Send me the tab and i’ll torrent it and post the link to it here on the forum.
If youd like i wont use one of the big trackers but just put it at fileshare or something so that only the people here will get it.

my mail is carl_rydbeck@hotmail.com

someone who like you,

you didn’t leave your email adress.

send them to joshjoshjosh@gmail.com and i’ll post them.

No, i’ve leaved, but its hidden and visible only for administrators:P Mail (hidden)(required) see? ^^ But you’re right, here is a link (rapidshare now)
http://rapidshare.com/files/43943728/Andy_Mckee_-_Africa_-_Tablature.pdf

Ohhh I’ve forgot something, I’ve gived you tabs and now can any1 make a video-tab lesson for it?
I think that would be very usefull for all
I will try but i have only handphone recorder and its really sux )(15fps 640×480 o_O)

Damn nice man, we are all in debt to you ^^
thanks for the tab!

When I get home from work, I will open it up and embarass myself trying to play it! Great version of this song, too.

I wouldn’t call Mckee a genius, but he knows what he does well and he certainly does. Open tunings are great for this sort of play (extensive hammeron/left-handed play only). Good stuff.

I hope you will enjoy it, I almost love this song…
I was looking for it half year and i found it
Good Luck wiyh playing… And i’m waiting for video tutorial
Greetings
Mark

Ahh. I’ve forgot something again:P
http://rapidshare.com/files/43943728/Andy_Mckee_-_Africa_-_Tablature.pdf
this file is .pdf, I wouldnt be able to rewrite it in guitar pro because i don’t know how to use it advanced…Can someone rewrite it to gutar pro completly and same as original? It would help with learning because image quality in this pdf isn’t good enough…
Mark

I have also tried to play this song and actually came up with my own version different from Andy’s. Don’t count on us to get this lesson together, because we can’t play it!:)

EVERYONE READ!!!!!!!!!

alright guys, since i got the tab, i will transcribe it on guitar pro, will post it up on www.ultimate-guitar.com and should be there in 2 or so days (since they dont update on weekends) so if you dont have guitar pro i suggest you get it. download the torrent or something. it will be transcribed not for note from the PDF that was previously posted.

thanks.

OR!!!!!!!!!
you can take this sample right now.
but i suggest you go to ultiamte guitar and download that one, and vote please thanks.

http://rapidshare.com/files/44207129/Africa.gp5.html

go to candyratRecords.com and you can buy 4 song tabs for $19.95. the one with africa on it also has art of motion! its a great deal and they are comepletely accurate. its worth every cent. trust me

the pdf that was posted by someone who likes you is also 100% accurate cause it is andys transcription…

Yeah dapirate is right thats oryginal tab 100% match witch andy’s because thats his tab

if anyone still has an unexpired tab of AFRICA please can you email it to me. I have so far finished the stanzas and the intro. but the end lead, that i don’t really know:D thanks

hey J bone,

I was wondering if it would be possible for you to post the text version of Africa in ultimate-guitar.com. for some reason i can’t get GuitarPro to work on my computer and I would really appreciate it if you could do that. Thanks

hey amp can you email the guitarpro file to me … at yuklidaboganda@gmail.com thanks

Yeah, i’m agree, somebody should rewrite it to gp.
BTW, after printing, this pdf looks fine and clear, so everyone who have troubles with reading Africa should print it i think

the gpfile of africa that was posted on UG is incomplete…

LoL i’ve seen africa tab on ultimate-guitar but this is not complete, lead and chorous are correct but thats only 20% of Africa… ?

I love Andy McKee.
I deeply need to watch at least once his greeeeat video of Africa in a day.
Otherwise I can’t sleep.

I’m going to buy a Capo only to learn this song…
Whahou great artist.

Thanks for all your comments, I’m waiting for the tab as well..

Thanks ! Great Tab !!

But I would need 56 years of practice.

:)

No you will not
this song isn’t such hard as i think, i’m playing it almost good after ~2 months of practising…
Good luck for all

nasan na ung tab??

Hey big thanks to the one who posted the official tablature!

Can anyone who has the SHANGHAI official tab, please upload it on a file sharing site, and send me the download link? I’m going to buy the book anyway soon, when I can, but would REALLY like to start on Shanghai asap. I’m willing to trade one of the tabs from set 3, which I had purchased (Dreamcatcher, FMF, Nocturne, and Keys to the Hovercar). I would greatly appreciate it!

If you want the tabs that were WRITTEN BY ANDY MCKEE HIMSELF go to his record label’s website candyratRecords.com and you can buy 4 song tabs of his songs for $19.95.
the one with Africa on it also has Art of Motion! Its a really great deal and they’re perfectly accurate. Thanks to them I learned to play all of Drifting in a MONTH!! Go to candyratrecords.com to get the tabs!

-Will

illu42@web.de
