Peppino D'Agostino & Stef Burns: Bayshore Road
by John Kelman
Acoustic guitarist Peppino D'Agostino and electric guitarist Stef Burns couldn't have come from two more different musical worlds.

Despite his admirable technique, he favours substance over style and lyricism over complexity. No less accomplished and ...
Pierre Bensusan: Altiplanos
by Jerry D'Souza
Among several facets Pierre Bensusan brings into play on the guitar are the influences he has absorbed and the technical skills he brings to bear.

Pierre Bensusan: Altiplanos
by John Kelman
Sometimes it's all in the fingers. Give a guitar to two players, ask them to play an identical phrase and there will be a difference. It's about physiology--the physical characteristics of the fingers and how they touch the strings. It's about phrasing--the emphasis of some notes over others and the subtle nuances between those notes. And ...
Pierre Bensusan: Altiplanos
