“Last year while attending a Chet Atkins Society event in Nashville, I caught a young jazz guitarist performing a few solo sets which knocked me and everyone else out. You can’t confuse Craig Wagner with anyone else. At twenty-four years of age, Craig has incredible chops and command of the instrument as well as a sound ail his own.”

-Ed Benson, Just Jazz Guitar

Craig Wagner’s unique approach to fingerstyle guitar includes equal amounts of jazz, funk, blues, rock, pop, bluegrass, and country flavorings. He turns the guitar into a whole musical combo with adventurous techniques incorporating two-handed tapping, polyrhythms, walking bass, banjo rolls, exotic chords, and moving inner voices. His forte is composition and arranging. In this video lesson he presents eye-popping reworkings of the jazz standards Caravan and Cherokee, Herbie Hancock’s Chameleon and Stevie Wonder’s Superstition.

This is a very challenging DVD lesson designed for the advanced fingerstyle guitarist.
