Call for Questions: Matthew McAllister

Part of my goal with founding this website was to encourage reader interaction with performers. In the changing music industry landscape, artists who interact thrive. As such, I need your help!

The next interview is with guitarist Matthew McAllister, a UK based guitarist.

So, what should I ask him?

PS: Big THANK YOU to everyone who weighed in on the Fingernail Open Thread.

    For Mr. McAllister: You’ve chosen a new support-less guitar position. It seems that the lower bout rests on your right leg and the crook of the right arm acts as a counterweight. Is this position flamenco-inspired (as it resembles the traditional flamenco position)? What are its challenges? What do you see as its advantages?

    How does Matt sit that way and appear so comfortable? I have never seen a classical guitarist sit the way he does on many of his videos. Any secrets to performing sans footstool or guitar support?

    What do you think of today’s steelstring players such as Andy McKee, Pierre Bensusan, etc.

    I never heard of this guy but from looking at his web site, it appears that he is doing a lot of work with a flutist. So I would be interested in knowing or learning some tips about how to play guitar with flute. Is the guitar’s volume much of concern?

    He also appears to be a UK based guitarist? It might be interesting to find out if there are any noticeable differences between the approach to learning and playing guitar across the pond compared to here.
