There are many great guitarists out there that can tear up the toughest classical piece, improvise through the trickiest jazz changes or lay down a Brazilian groove that keeps people dancing all night long, but there are few who can do all of these at a world-class level. Brazilian guitarist Dr. Guilherme Vincens is just such a guitarist, a player who in a single set can weave through Bossa Nova, Spanish classical works and jazz standards, before topping it off with a little Zeppelin for good measure.

As guitarists, we’re all about tone. Whether we play country, rock, blues, jazz or metal, there’s something about finding just the right tone that can keep us glued to our guitars and amps for hours, trying to get that perfect combination that makes our ears tingle.

It’s amazing what can happen on a whim. Just a few days ago I was surfing the web, checking out some guitar videos on YouTube and I came across a great performance by country legend Albert Lee. Seeing the video reminded me of what a stellar player Lee really is and so I decided to head over to his site to see if he was touring in my area this year, hoping to get a chance to see him live. A bit dismayed after finding out that he’ll be spending most of his time in Europe in the near future, and later learning that I had just missed him in Chicago recently, I noticed that there was a contact button on his site, and that’s when things get interesting.

If you listened to the radio in early 1992 you heard the song “Dizz Nee Land.” If you dug that tune you may have purchased a CD called Puzzle, dada’s critically acclaimed first disk. This great album ran deep with intense, well-written, guitar-heavy rock songs including “Dorina,” “Posters,” “Dim,” and one of my favorites, “Who You Are.”
