Here is one of the lesser known (but very enjoyable) original melodies of Andy McKee, played with his technically precise finger-style method. Nakagawa-san is from Andy’s Gates of Gnomeria CD, by CandyRat Records.  A recent reviewer said:

Andy McKee is currently one of the most critical talents in the world of guitar, combining his magical songwriting with refined technical skills and innovative techniques. His heart fills the music as he makes it all look so easy. Andy’s music is timeless and truly valuable to listen to for relaxation or just for the sake of beautiful music.

Earlier this year, we enjoyed looking at Andy McKee’s delicate and delightful use of harmonics in another video – the song named “Heather’s Song”.  Andy is probably most famous for his Guitar Drifting video, which has racked up an incredible 17 million views on YouTube.

Here’s a short video from Mr. Travelin Blues of Detroit.

I love Detroit. I love the people of Detroit… and I love Mr. Travelin Blues from Detroit … the other day we stood and talked for a while by the SMART bus stop near St. Andrews Hall.  A lot of days you can find him downtown (playing his guitar and singing the blues) in Greek Town, near Pegasus, the new Greek Town Hotel, or old St. Mary’s church.
