The following is a list of Professional Guitarists whose CD's I have bought and whose performances I have witnessed. They tirelessly travel to and enthusiastically perform at venues from local coffeehouses to large auditoriums. They are some of the most creative musicians I know and in my opinion have re-defined the capabilities of the guitar. They may not have major recording contracts yet, but they have indeed set the bar higher for those who follow. Please support them.
