Hi friend! I love to play her way to gitarra! (you) and (Ted Greene) has a similar style of play (2 excellent musicians! you have a good taste adimiravel!
THanks for the add. ECS will be opening in September to support local musicians in the puget sound area. We will be located near Guitar Center in the SC Mall area.
Thank you for finding me in this sea of sounds! And, you're a local who's so fine at that sweet jazzgttr playing - mucho gusto!!!
You sure have played with some great folks and let me know if you ever like to team up with vocalists. Lately I'm not playing the guitar much - it truly hurts my back and neck and I'd rather concentrate on singing. I appreciate people like you who master the art and make it sound soooo easy and lovely. Keep me up on any Seattle gigs you are doing.
All the best ~ Elizabeth Seattle
