YouTube: Acoustic Guitarist Andy McKee
Tuesday August 12, 2008
Take a moment to watch (and be dazzled by) this video of acoustic guitarist Andy McKee playing "Drifting". McKee really takes the concept of using the body of the guitar as a rhythm instrument to a new level. Add some complex tapping and hammer-on techniques, and McKee ends up sounding like a three-piece band, instead of one guy with an acoustic guitar. Ambitious guitarists can even download the "Drifting" tab from McKee's web site (not for free - it's a hefty $19.95 for the four included tabs).
If you have a favorite YouTube video of a guitarist that deserves being featured here, leave a note in the comments, and I'll highlight some of the best videos posted.

John Doan playing harp guitar. The guys who play this kind of instrument are really good, Mckee is one of those. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cvar4ZsqsEo&feature=related

Playing Since we met. A lovely peaceful song obviously as a master makes it look so easy. There are video lessons for this on you tube also.
Andy Mckee is a good guitarist, does any one agree?
Amen, Brother!
I think troubleclef is great, especially in The Rain Song.
