Sandy Bull (1941-2001) was an American guitarist and multi-instrumentalist born in New York City. He played guitar, banjo, pedal steel and the oud, and he mixed folk fingerpicking with Arabic music, jazz, blues and Western classical pieces. His long instrumental recordings for Vanguard in the 1960s are often cited as an early influence on psychedelic music, and he is closely associated with the oud.
