ANDY McKEE

Hailing from Topeka, Kansas, Andy McKee is one of the world’s finest acoustic soloists.
He has received over 20 million views for his Youtube videos

While there are countless amazing guitar players in the world, it is Andy’s attention to song structure
and melodic content that elevates him above the typical guitarist. It can be observed that
Andy likes to try different things with the guitar such as; altered tunings, partial capos, percussive hits, and tapping. But in the hands of Andy these are not mere parlor tricks, they are compositional tools
used to create some of the finest crafted music for the steel string acoustic guitar.
