Hannes Coetzee


Hannes Coetzee is a guitarist from the Karoo region in South Africa. He is mainly known for his unique playing technique using a spoon in his mouth to play slide guitar. This playing technique is called 'optel and knyp', which roughly translates to "pick and pinch".
Coetzee reached a broader audience when David Kramer's documentary Karoo Kitaar Blues was released in 2003.
