Richard Gilewitz
notes by Gary Mobley
For the last few years, fingerstyle guitarist extraordinaire Richard Gilewitz has been a fixture at our NAMM show booths. His unique style and quirky sense of humor has made him a favorite at shows all over the world.
In addition to being a concert performer, Richard is one of the best teachers and clinicians I know. Last year I had the priviledge to see Richard at work in that environment and he just seems to be able to "connect" with people. I highly recommend players interested in fingerstyle guitar to check him out.
One example of Richard's sense of humor happened last January at the Anaheim NAMM show. As he was starting his set he purposely starting playing with his left hand behind the capo to see the reactions from people. When he got a puzzled look from them he quickly started playing with his left hand in front of the capo and with a straightface said, " So this is how you use these things?" Strange thing is he sounded pretty darn good playing the wrong way. Thats how good that right hand is.
