The jazz guitar is the ultimate solo instrument. It beats piano in portability and expressiveness, is much softers and sweeeter than a loud an abrasive saxophone or trumpet, and is way more thrilling than a dreary solo bassist or drummer. If you want to create a sparkling, mellow, warm, unforgettable ambiance at your event a guitarist is your best bet! Email natehiltz@gmail.com
Lenny Breau is to me the perfect guitarist : beautifully integrating jazz, country, classical and flamenco into an incredible whole. But there are many others: Joe Pass, Wes Montgomery, Grant Green, Pat Martino, Johnny Smith, Jim Hall, David Occhipinti, Ted Quinlan. Merle Travis, Garoto, Francisco Tárrega, Augustin Barrios, Bill Evans, Hank Williams, Gordon Lightfoot, Julian Bream, Alirio Diaz, Miguel Llobet
Guitar is a musical instrument that you can find everywhere, even in space! The music that can be made on the guitar is as diverse as all the people that happen to play it. Amazingly, learning enough guitar to strum and sing a folk song takes only a few hours work. It is life affirming for all guitarists to know that there is an endless world of music to discover on this instrument; made and yet unmade.
