Andy McKee

So I’ve been practicing a lot more classical guitar since Renata bought me my new one. I’ve been showing some gradual improvement, but there’s still a lot that I need to work on.

I’m self-taught, so the lack of proper-technique is starting to show. I’m also pretty new to it. However, I bought myself a few classical guitar books and they’ve helped me spot the “how-to’s” and the what-not-to-do for classical guitar. This has helped me play better for sure, and has given me new gusto for wanting to improve. I’ve learned a few new songs, and have polished some of the ones that I already know. Maybe I’ll post some recordings when I have some time. Classical guitar is beautiful, and I hope over the years my hobby will help me play great music.

Another inspiration to help me pursue guitar has been the guitarist Andy McKee. He’s an amazing acoustic guitar player, and his songs are great. He doesn’t play the classical guitar, but rather the steel string acoustics. His finger picking style and technique shows incredible mastery.

I ordered his CD “Art of Motion” off of the internet and it finally arrived. It’s definitely one of those CD’s that I won’t be able to forget out of my collection. Here’s a clip of him recording one of the songs off the disc:
