Biography
Larry Sandberg has taught guitar for over 40 years; he currently teaches at the Denver Folklore Center, University of Colorado extension school, and privately. He is the author of several best-selling guitar books, including The Acoustic Guitar Guide and Acoustic Guitar Styles.
"Acoustic Blues also serves as a reminder to players of all levels on just how influential this style of guitar work has been: From the great Delta strains of Robert Johnson to the early work of Bob Dylan to the modern cadences that San Francisco's Roy Rogers carves out of time, the acoustic blues has been at the center of American music-driving its backbeat, building its delicate histories. Here, Larry Sandberg, through his careful instruction and clear-minded narrative, insures that new generations of aspiring guitar players will carry-on thesetimeless traditions of guitar-picking in perpetuity." -John Aiello, The Electric Review
