Lee McKinney - The Sun and the Wind (Guitar Play-Through)

[@lerriezane]

Lee has been influenced by Plini, Polyphia & Vitalism a lot lately. Best game changing and cool composition ever.🤘

I wish Justin Lowe had lived to see how amazing Lee Mckinney's sole works had turned out. Two of my favorite people to ever pick up an electric guitar forsure.

[@poppyharlow9377]

Intro sounds like Polyphia and the whole song sounds like it had some Plini influence with the composition. KZbin’s been recommending your work into my recommended section and I finally listened to it last week. This is amazing dude!

[@LeeMcKinney]

Poppy Harlow appreciate this thank you!

[@himawarii_gg]

No flashy bullshit, no discombobulating shredding, just pure songwriting prowess Definitely my album of the year, an absolute must-listen for people trying to get into the genre

Tears run down my face. Just out of pure amazement. It’s like I can hear a story when he plays.

[@LeeMcKinney]

This is the kindest compliment you could ever give. I'm not the fastest there is, so my goal is exactly that.. to make you feel something and paint a picture.

[@spoookyScareCrow]

Lee McKinney thank you. That means a lot. Keep doing what you are doing. You have a beautiful gift. And we all thank you for sharing it with all of us.

[@qzollo345]

So damn good, I've been a fan of Born of Osiris for only two years but I love your work in it and on this Solo album. Easily one of my favorite Guitarist ever

[@LeeMcKinney]

[@xafbxmoto269]

Ditto that man, I found born of osiris and my favorite guitarist went from randy Rhodes to lee.

[@Handles-R-Lame]

Watching this in the year 2020..better LATE than NEVER especially nowadays.. thanks man! These songs are really hitting the spot!! Stay rockin!!! 🤘✌🤘

[@LeeMcKinney]

Thank you! I appreciate that.

[@RosstaFloss]

Lots of crazy talented guitarists in this day and age on KZbin, Instagram etc...but not many of them add the heart and soul into their music like you do, I believe that’s truly a gift that I hope you’ll keep giving and sharing with us🤘🏼🔥

[@LeeMcKinney]

Thank you so much for such a kind compliment. It means a lot and I'm glad you're enjoying the music.

[@LeeMcKinney]

LexerJason thank you!

[@justdavegaming3]

I just started learning how to play and to play like this is my goal🤘

[@JPWinters]

There is something about your playing style that is hard to pinpoint... very zen-like, very relaxed, effortless. This playthrough video really highlights & was a home-run (on top of the song itself). Another example of a player with that kind of energy is Rick Graham. I'm sure others also appreciate the way you approach the instrument. This is my favorite thing you've ever done, thank you for the awesome song.

[@LeeMcKinney]

Thanks so much for the kind words. They mean a lot to me!! New music coming this year.

[@lossprevails]

Everything you write is everything I strive for when I write. Like this and Clock without a Craftsman is the shit I dream of. I want to show your songs to everyone I know and then some. Brilliantly done and I can’t say that enough

[@LeeMcKinney]

Thank so much for the kind words and I'm glad you find enjoyment in them!! Means a lot.
