"Chris Proctor won the U.S. National Fingerstyle Guitar Championship back in 1982, and he hasn't looked back since. He's toured consistently and produced albums rooted in classic Americana, but delved also into folk, Celtic, jazz, pop and classical. He's one of the more revered figures on the acoustic guitar scene... Proctor's virtuoso fingerstyle technique and compositional abilities combine to render an original collection of pieces that very much lives up to its name. In the way Proctor explores melodies, and with his unique variety of tunings and spidery fingerings, he is a true pioneer of the contemporary fingerstyle form." Salt Lake City Tribune
"With an acoustic fingerstyle guitar that will challenge your imagination, Chris Proctor uses the tools of his trade--6- and 12-string guitars--and the many expressive ways to play them, to venture into new territories, drawing on elements of folk, jazz, blues, classical, and pop." Dirty Linen
"It's rich in texture, tightly, almost classically designed, and difficult in execution ... the only Baroque fingerpicker." Los Angeles Times
"Haunting slide, spectacular writing, killer contrapuntal chops and sensitive articulation reconfirm that Proctor's in a league with the Peter Fingers and Martin Simpsons of the world." Guitar Player
