Adrian Legg

Talented fingerstyle guitarist.

Born May 16, 1948, in London, England;
Addresses: Home--London, England

He can play many, many different genres of finger style and plectrum guitar.

Impossible to categorize as a player, Adrian Legg incorporates virtually every genre on his guitar in a virtuosic instrumental style with effects. He brought electric approaches to acoustic playing, creating a modern cross-over amalgamation in the tradition of eclectic folk playing that goes back to the 1960s."
