About

Walt Kosar is an instrumental guitarist, composer and live looping artist from Northeastern Pennsylvania. His solo performances blend two-hand tapping, alternate tunings, live looping and improvisation, building each piece layer by layer in real time to create a full-band sound with a single guitar.

Walt performs original music throughout Pennsylvania, New York and New Jersey, with recent appearances at Musikfest 2026, the Electric City Music Conference and the Strawberry Moon Festival. He has also produced intimate listening events in New York City. He has been featured multiple times in Guitar Player magazine, and his music has appeared on MTV, VH1, Discovery, History and other networks.

A music graduate of Marywood University and a music educator, Walt is the author of Fundamentals of Two-Hand Tapping and leads guitar clinics on the technique.

Why S.I.T.?

“My playing relies heavily on two-hand tapping, alternate tunings and live looping, so tuning stability, clarity and consistency are especially important. S.I.T. Strings give me the tone I need to build layered compositions while maintaining clarity and expression throughout a performance.”
