Kevin Gallagher – Classical Guitarist

I’ve been a Kevin Gallagher fan since meeting him on his GFA tour back in ’94. (My god, has it really been 14 years?!) I was bopping around YouTube this morning and noticed that Kevin’s been developing an online presence — YouTube, Myspace, and his own website, guitar69.com. He’s a thoughtful, creative guitarist — well worth a visit!
Look, Ma — No Pick!
I guess I was 15 years old when I heard Jose Feliciano play Malaguena in concert. I hoped that I could learn to play it, so I bought his majestic Alive Alive-O!

Joaquin Rodrigo – Un Tiempo Fue Italica Famosa
Classical guitarist Matt Palmer playing Rodrigo’s Un Tiempo Fue Italica Famosa. Note the convincing “ami” fingering for the scales.
Travis Johnson
Classical guitarist Travis Johnson, 15-years old, from Milwaukie, Oregon, shows off his Elliott guitar, on which he performs Boppin’ by Bryan Johannson (a piece commissioned for him) on this episode of From the Top at Carnegie Hall.
