John Heussenstamm
Although people tend to think of John Heussenstamm exclusively as a phenomenal blues guitarist and teacher, he plays and has studied different
styles of music throughout his career, such as: jazz, from be-bop to modern; classical guitar; gospel; blues; and funk. The songs in
this site's Music section reflect this diversity in his tastes: blues, light
jazz, latin jazz, rock, funk/rock, new age, world music, and even hillbilly rock. It would probably be fair to say that John's eclectic
interest in music has contributed to his strength as a blues rock guitarist. >>> more >>>
