More About Me
Keith Mellinger began playing acoustic guitar in 1991. Throughout the 90s he performed in mainly acoustic rock groups, most notably the duo Bookends which performed up and down the Delmarva peninsula. In the late 90s, Mellinger discovered flatpicking after attending a festival and seeing Norman Blake perform. After a short 2-year job in Chicago where he absorbed a plethora of bluegrass knowledge, Mellinger and his family settled in Fredericksburg, Virginia. He is the lead guitarist for the Fall Line Bluegrass Band and also performs as a solo artist, crafting solo flatpicking guitar arrangements of popular acoustic rock, folk, and bluegrass tunes.
Keith enjoys teaching intermediate guitarists how to take their playing to the next level using popular flatpicking techniques such as floating and cross-picking.
