Keith Medley - Ancestors

And now, something you've never seen before.

Keith Medley, a Kentucky native and talented musician, created a 27-string guitar that he plays himself. The instrument is something like a combination of a bass guitar, autoharp, guitar, harp, maybe a dulcimer, or any number of lute-like instruments. It's really quite impressive to watch.

That was his song entitled "Ancestors" from the album Ride. He says that building the instrument was the easy part. Teaching himself to play this unique creation was the real challenge.
