Bill Burke (8 String Guitarist)
From Bill Burke’s website (www.billburke.net):
“A prolific tap-style player, Bill is recognized as a “wildly gifted musician” and “new master of the 8-string guitar.” Bill plays the 8-string guitar in a manner similar to piano, enabling him to play multiple parts at the same time. His refreshingly original compositions feature captivating melodies over layered rhythms – highly infused with flavors of place, time and travel.”
