  • Leo Kottke (* 11. September 1945 in Athens, Georgia) ist ein US-amerikanischer Virtuose auf der akustischen sechs- und zwölfsaitigen Gitarre, der in seiner mehr als 45-jährigen Karriere stilbildend für eine Reihe nachfolgender Gitarristen wurde. Kottke verschmolz Folk-, Country-, Bluegrass- und Blueseinflüsse zu einem charakteristischen Fingerpicking-Stil polyphoner Musik, die besonders zu Beginn stark von der Bottleneck-Technik geprägt war.

  • Leo Kottke, né le 11 septembre 1945 à Athens dans l'état de Georgie, États-Unis d'Amérique, est un guitariste acoustique. Il utilise des techniques de fingerpicking, s'inspirant de genre musicaux comme le blues, le jazz, et la musique folk, avec ses rythmes syncopés et les sons polyphoniques qu'il arrive à produire avec ses guitares signature six et douze cordes. Il se servira très souvent de l'accordage en open tuning. Marcel Dadi lui consacrera un morceau dans dadis 2 portant le titre "Song for Leo" expliquant dans les tablatures jointes au vinyl comment s'accorder et jouer dans le style de Leo. Leo Kottke a réussi à surmonter une série d'obstacles personnels comme la perte partielle de l'audition et une fin de carrière prématurée liée à une tendinite aigüe de la main droite. (fr)
