The YouTube Army of Guitar Virtuosi
Thursday, March 1st, 2007YouTube is famous for prank videos and bone-crushing skateboard mishaps, but video clip culture also allows the world to sample pockets of beauty and skill that would never have seen the light of day a few years ago. These days anyone can "make it" — all you have to do is make it. That's what Andy McKee did. Check out this gorgeous piece of music that blends complex tapping, harmonics and guitar percussion techniques to create a rich, mesmerizing sound. Clearly, Andy McKee has listened to and learned much from the likes of Michael Hedges, Don Ross and other players who have redefined the acoustic guitar for the digital age. Thanks for sharing this Andy:
