thanks for the great e-mail, everyone. as a fingerstyle player i'd appreciate
hearing ideas regarding this topic. having played guitar for over 30 yrs. now
i have come to develop my own voice on the instrument and maintaining
diversity with interest in other musical genres. i find myself more inspired
nowadays by piano players than guitar players as well as listening to other
instruments to gain musical or tone or phrasing ideas.
i believe in the less is better than more school of backing up other
instruments or tyring to figure out imaginative ways to compliment them or a
singer.
my guitar heroes remain, herb ellis, joe pass, barney kessel, merle
travis, jr. barnard, even blind blake. with my pianistic interests leading my
ears to people like fats waller, earl hines, george schearing, and oscar
peterson.
the melodic lines of sonny rollins have also never ceased to inspire me.

cast off your flatpicks!

Eric, you may want to contact a friend of mine, Alan DeMause, at:


Alan took lessons from Jim Hall (my favorite jazz guitarist), lives in
New York and writes books for Mel Bay Publications on fingerstyle jazz
guitar. Go to his web site, check him out and email him. He'll get back
with you and if nothing else you'll know someone else sold out to
fingerstyle jazz.

I love it all. I offer a few free online jazz guitar lessons at:


Hope this helps,
