In our series of Guitarist Interviews, today we have an

Interview with George Benson

Genre: Jazz/ Rhythm and Blues/ Soul

George Benson is simply one of the greatest guitarists in jazz history, but he is also an amazingly versatile musician, and that frustrates to no end critics who would paint him into a narrow bop box. He can play in just about any style — from swing to bop to R&B to pop — with supreme taste, a beautiful rounded tone, terrific speed, a marvelous sense of logic in building solos, and, always, an unquenchable urge to swing!

In this awesome interview George shares his opinion on matter like, how got into the blues feeling and playing,how he gets his widely recognizable tone, his unorthodox way of picking.
