Andy McKee

An incredibly influential acoustic guitarist, Andy's "Drifting"
YouTube video went viral long before "going viral" was a thing.
Years later, Andy has easily cemented his place as the
standard-bearer for modern, percussive guitar playing (pioneered
by players like Michael Hedges, Don Ross, and others, and then
brought to new heights by Andy).  Greg and Andy get into the
