Les Paul Biography
Posted by: jj <jj@...>
>Although he didn't often give them credit, Les certainly had many "mentors"
>who helped him along immensely in his guitar playing such as Sunny Joe
>Wolverton. Do you all have any folks in your lives that "mentor" you as a
>guitarist?
I grew up in Phoenix, Arizona. There were some good guitar players
that I took some lessons from, but no shooting stars through the sky
of the entertainment world, so mainly I just listened to the records.
That's all I had and all I still have.
John Fahey
Mississippi John Hurt
Dave Van Ronk
Early Bob Dylan
Doc Watson
What else do you need? Best mentors a guitar player could ever have, I believe.
I do know a guy who practically lived with the Rev. Gary Davis. It
shows too (musically). Might be worth the effort, if you live in the
right part of the country.
