Andy McKee Interview by Sweetwater

Mitch Gallagher sits down with guitar virtuoso Andy McKee for this episode of Guitars and Gear. Andy visited Sweetwater to showcase Ernie Ball Aluminum Bronze strings and also to demonstrate this unique guitar mastery. Through his use of altered tunings, partial capos, percussive hits, and a signature two-handed technique, he's able to transform his guitar into a veritable full orchestra. In addition to his TH-cam fans and critical admirers, Andy has also received accolades from such acclaimed artists as Prince, Eric Johnson, and Dream Theater.

Saw him live with Tommy Emanuel in Indianapolis a couple years back and it blew my mind because I used to watch him on candyrat on TH-cam years ago and didn’t even know he was opening for Tommy. Best show of my life!

Saw him in dublin a little while ago.
Mesmeric playing.

[@inheritsfrom9116]

Great interview. I wish Mitch had asked about his guitar, what kind of pickup, amp, etc.

[@marc_montebello]

+inheritsfrom same here. i can tell you the guitar in this video at least was made by michael greenfield.. www.greenfieldguitars.com

[@ДідПанас-о4ц]

+inheritsfrom Agree! Andy is a great guitar player and composer, always liked his simple melodies and the way he compose the songs!
You can find the information about his gear on his website. The pickups - K&K system, I guess "Trinity". The amp is D-TAR Solstice.

[@eastonbullock6596]

hello! he's mentioned in various other videos that he uses Greenfield Guitars, and his pickup system is a K&K Pure Mini.
