KEITH MEDLEY – The Guitar That Music Built

For several decades equally highly skilled craftsman and guitarist Keith Medley had a vision of an instrument that the music in his head could be reasonably played on. Numerous modifications and 27 strings later, his masterpiece is as beautiful as the pieces he’s composed with it. He chats with me from White House, Tennessee sharing the story behind the instrument and two brilliant tracks from his CD “Ride”. What would normally take several musicians and many overdubs to create, Keith manages in one live take with one instrument!
Visit keithmedleymusic.com to buy the CD.
