Leo Kottke
 Leo Kottke (born September 11 1945 Athens Georgia U.S.) is an acoustic guitarist. He is known for a fingerpicking style that draws on influences from blues jazz and folk music and for syncopated polyphonic melodies. Kottke overcame a series of personal obstacles including partial loss of hearing and a nearly career-ending bout with tendon damage in his right hand to emerge as a widely recognized master of his instrument.
