Tonight I am going to see an amazing fingerstyle guitarist named Pete Huttlinger. Before I go any further, watch this:
I first heard of Pete when he released his album “Naked Pop” on Steve Vai‘s Favored Nations label. One of the most amazing displays of fingerstyle guitar I had ever heard. A few years ago while in Nashville with NGW, I had the chance to have lunch with Pete and he is a great guy. If he ever comes around your area, you have to go see him.
I will post more about the concert tomorrow.
Lucky you! Pete is an amazing guitarist, I’m jealous.
I’ve only seen Pete once and I was totally blown away. A nice surprise occurred when, after speaking to him on a break, he invited me to sit in with him! We really had a great time playing a few standards and let me assure you – he can hold his own in that realm too. I hope to get the chance to see him play again someday soon – he’s one of the greats in my book!
