DREAM THEATER To Be Supported By ANDY MCKEE At Select Shows

November 7, 2011

Progressive metal giants DREAM THEATER have issued the following update:

"DREAM THEATER is excited to announce a unique treat for our fans! During the December leg of our current world tour, spectacular acoustic finger-style guitarist Andy McKee will be our special guest for the San Diego and Anaheim shows in California; the Mesa, Arizona show; and three shows in Mexico: Monterrey, Guadalajara, and Mexico City. We're sure everyone at these shows will appreciate his instrumental mastery as much as we do."

Finger-style guitar playing, according to McKee, simply means, "playing guitar without a pick." He tells EncoreBuzz.com, "It kind of encompasses a lot of possible techniques. For me, I like to use new techniques like tapping on the guitar body, slap harmonics and basically finding different ways to create notes on the guitar through different textures."
