Creative Musicianship: 1 guitar, 2 players

CREATIVE MUSICIANSHIP Creative Musicianship: 1 guitar, 2 players

I love it when people find unusual ways to do “usual” things.  Sometimes that means writing an odd song, playing a rare instrument, or designing your own instrument.

Sometimes it’s taking a very common instrument, and looking at it differently.

Being a guitar player, I love it when people think outside the box when it comes to how to play a guitar.  In the past I’ve looked at creative guitar players such as Erik Mongrain, KT Tunstall, or Andy McKee.   But today I’m going to look at a different idea.

A guitar is obviously typically a one person instrument, made to be played with two hands.

But is that a rule of thumb that can be broken?

Apparently!  Check out this video:

I like when people think differently about things and aren’t limited to the conventional use of a particular instrument.

Andy McKee – Drifting

CREATIVE MUSICIANSHIP Andy McKee   Drifting

I stumbled across Andy McKee a couple years ago. His technical ability and level of guitar skill is way beyond me, but watching his videos still inspires me to think about music differently.

When Andy plays the guitar, he plays the whole thing… not just the frets and the strings. He uses the body as a percussive instrument while he plays the strings by both strumming them and hitting them. He’s really turned the acoustic guitar into a completely new instrument when he plays it.

Here’s a video of his song called Drifting:
