Andy McKee




Many of you might know him from his videos on youtube, such as Drifting. He is truly an inspired composer and, although some may find his work repetitive, very talented. He is still in his twenties and he is a finger-style guitarist. He has four albums to his name and he plays guitar and harp guitar(seen in the picture). A great listen for background music or contemplation, McKee's work is cool and relaxing, but never boring. I cannot recommend his work too highly, especially his album with Don Ross, The Thing that Came from Somewhere. With cited influences from Maiden and Eric Johnson to Neil Young, this guy has been around. Although he started on the electric guitar, he's all acoustic now. And I think that we are all the better for it.
