I am a solo finger-style & finger-picking acoustic guitarist. For those who are not familiar with these techniques, I play bass notes, melody, and rhythm accompaniment simultaneously. I play Celtic, Folk and Country/Delta Blues guitar and I am also currently exploring other styles (i.e., Flamenco, Jazz, etc.). I use open tunings alot but I also use standard tuning. I do not strum chords or flatpick single notes (it strictly is against my religion). Instead, I work hard at creating “complex” arrangements for each piece where my guitar can sound like two instruments playing simultaneously. I try my best to avoid repeating the same thing twice in the same tune to avoid boredom and to keep the listeners interested.

I am looking forward to practice with other like-minded musicians for tune exchanging, fun, and maybe making some extra money playing local gigs. I like to practice with musicians who like to take their instruments to the next level and in that case, a small band will be just fine. If you are interested, I can be reached at 484-904-8479 or email me at dadgadfolkmusic2000@yahoo.com

Thank you and have a very nice day!
