Biography

Rob MacKillop (born 1959) is a Scottish musician and multi-instrumentalist, specializing in lute, theorbo, vihuela, historical banjo, ukulele and classical guitar. He has been described as “the godfather of modern no-nail playing," meaning that he plays classical guitar without the use of the right-hand finger nails. He is an important performer of Early Music in Scotland, a recording artist, and author of over twenty-five editions of music by Mel Bay and other publishers (see below). He is also a fine-art photographer.
