What do Wes Montgomery, Jimi Hendrix, Jeff Beck, and Eddie Van Halen all have in common other than playing the guitar? They were all innovators in the cultural phenomenon known as the guitar solo. At various times the guitar solo has been lauded by musicians and music lovers and reviled by other musicians and music lovers who found them to be self-indulgent. If you are in one of these camps or a combination of the two, it is still difficult to deny that a musician displaying their skills has always held a particular fascination for people.

Marty has authored more than a few of his own guitar solos and has learned many others from other musicians over the years. If you would like to learn more about this aspect of our shared culture, Marty is a knowledgeable guide.
