Billy McLaughlin

American new age acoustic guitarist, composer and producer. McLaughlin became famed for his melodic two-handed tapping technique and his Christian-leaning output of vocal music. In 2005, McLaughlin revealed that he had focal dystonia (a neurological disease that causes involuntary muscular contractions; in McLaughlin's case, it was focused in his left forearm and hand.) As a result, McLaughlin became an activist for dystonia, and re-taught himself to play guitar left-handed, releasing the album Into the Light after an nearly 8 year hiatus.
