Gary R. Peterson
Hi - Gary Peterson here. I just released an album of acoustic guitar solos called Amber Burst. You can download a few of those 60s pop tune covers here on SoundClick. Thank you
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I've played in clubs, coffee houses, street corners, garden parties, kindergartens and college campuses off and on since the Summer of Love.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I don't play out much anymore but it's not out of the question.
Your musical influences
I have had many influences, mostly guitarists, including Chet Atkins, John Renbourn, Jimi Hendrix, and my Uncle Wilbert Leppanen.
What equipment do you use?
My first guitar had a cowboy painted on it. I had a '61 Gibson Les Paul Custom that I traded for my B-25 acoustic during the folk music scare of '68. I also play one of my handmade Peterson acoustics and a Godin electric. But my new Gibson J-45 Custom Amber Burst inspired me to record this latest album.
Anything else?
I'm also an artist and author but my first love is music. Please also listen to my work with
