Ryan Windham: The Great Kansas Experiment

Digital Brand

Ryan Windham’s explorations on the acoustic guitar involve him incorporating techniques more often associated with the instrument’s electric counterpart including two-handed tapping and layered effects. Windham’s approach to the instrument may be unconventional but his playing proves that his main focus is musicality. Here’s Windham captured in performance for the television series Wichita Sessions.

The guitar in its many forms and styles is featured throughout June across our music programs. For more information about the shows and their features and to listen to KMUW music shows anytime online, visit our website at kmuw.org.
