I did have a hard time thinking of any. The only one that I'm a big fan of is Julian Lage.

FWIW, I'm a huge fan of both John Lee Hooker and Jimmy Reed, who had similar vamp-based playing styles and were untutored, couldn't read music, &c. One of my guitar teachers knew Hooker and he even imparted "the secret of

When I was 18 years old and a new classical guitar student, I was very fortunate to hear the Maestro in concert. I even got to meet him briefly afterward because my music professor had some connection to him. I was blown away at the time by

A good waiter will ask you if you're ready to order at each stage.

I don't like it either, but yes they still do (although to be fair it is getting rarer by the day). One thing to keep in mind though, is that if it's a reputable place there isn't really any need to worry. It's shadier p

Also not a Roman Catholic, but there were some good things about Pope Francis that I could appreciate, particularly his very Augustinian take on reason and the restlessness of the heart found in his lecture from the launch of the Spanish ed
