Willie Oteri
Top Three Editor's Pick - Guitar Player Magazine - Dec. 2010 (WD-41+2 Album)
"I’m pretty much self taught. I learned Jazz and rock on the street. If you are fine with that then we can talk. I’m fine with it. I play guitar, sax and flute, most of time. People mostly wrote about the guitar playing. I think I may be best at flute although I don't have that much of it out there on recordings. My melodic sense seems to be best tuned to saxophone and for the last 4 or 5 years that was my main focus. Lately I've been back to focusing on guitar."
“I've always been an explorer and this need for change drives me to new frontiers. While some are cautious about change for me it's about accepting it. I played flute in my late teens after borrowing my sister's flute, since she was not very interested in it, and played professionally for several years in the early part of my career along with guitar, bass and pedal steel, whatever seemed to be needed. Around this same time, I had an old Conn sax that I played for maybe a year until both the flute and sax needed more work than I could afford at the time. (see tragedy and time off from music in bio below) When I came back to music after several years off I focused on guitar for a few reasons, one being I was living on a sailboat with not much space and guitar was small enough to use on the boat and compose. I did not think about getting back to flute and sax until I had produced a few guitar-based albums but alas, here I am and looking forward to recording and performing anyway I can get it out”
