Graham Griffith
Born:
Graham Griffith first took up conventional guitar at 14, studying classical guitar. In his early 20s he played self taught fiddle in a jug band called the Cosmo Hamfat Entertainers. After seeing virtuoso pedal steel guitarist Kenny Kitching in 1976 he bought his first pedal steel guitar (a Sho-Bud double neck 10 string) and began investigating its complexities.
He later spent 3 months at the end of 1978 with master instrument maker/player Zane Beck as well as playing in a local VFW club in Little Rock, Arkansas. He had adopted Zane's single neck 12 string E13th pedal steel tuning the year before. Zane instilled in Graham a love for jazz tunes, taking his playing beyond the usual country music "bag".
