Booking Guitarists

Electric or acoustic, plucked or strummed, six-string or twelve? the guitar has been around for over 5,000 years in some form and has become more versatile as time has passed. Loved the world over, guitar music is as popular in Spain, Greece, Mexico and Australia as it is in America. So well loved is the guitarist in a pop band that he is usually the first imitated when "airheads" begin to play. In fact, air guitar contests are held annually in the U.S. and U.K. to crown new champions of this art form. Popular performers of the acoustic guitar include Glen Campbell, B.B. King, Elvis, Eddie VanHalen. These and countless other guitarists have profoundly changed the landscape of popular guitar music. An acoustic guitarist takes up little space needing only a music stand and chair. An electric guitarist needs a power source for his/her amplifier, but also has small space requirements making the setup very stage-friendly.
