Adrian Legg May 6, 2005

Since his debut 1990 release, Guitars and Other Cathedrals , solo guitarist and British funny guy Adrian Legg has more than lived up to the steady praise from critics, fans, top guitar mags and peers alike. Joe Satriani once said, "He's simply the best acoustic guitar player I've ever heard - he plays like he has hammers for fingers." The genius that the Boston Globe has called "technical brilliance paired with a troubadour's tale-weaving skill" led him from 1993-96 to be voted Best Fingerstyle Guitarist four years straight by the readers of Guitar Player magazine. On his new cd Inheritance , his ninth overall, Legg blends his extraordinary virtuosity on the acoustic with a lush sonic musicality. "...Legg is, above all, a guitarist of great power, invention and versatility... Through fast-fingered picking, spontaneously layering parts and occasional ringing harmonics, he sounds like an orchestra. "- St. Petersburg Times "Legg displays a rare knack for combining strong melodic lines with arpeggiated harmonies in such a way that they flow with a graceful unity....listeners will love the sheer beauty of melodic and harmonic interplay."- -Washington Post "A brilliant acoustic guitarist and composer, Legg has become a leading authority on all matters pertaining to the guitar"
