"acoustic guitar maestro Don DaVinci." - HumboldtMusic.com

Don DaVinci... Began playing guitar in 1978.  Continued with private lessons through college.  By the 80's there was featured radio airtime and traveling throughout Northern California for performances.

The performance is a very full sounding finger style solo guitar.  The full sound is a combination of the use of non-standard tunings, complex rhythms and an excelent sound system. 

The pieces are performed solo and are very intricate and melodic.  Those who have attended a performance have been very impressed, highly complementary and well entertained.

The sound is a blend of the complex *"Michael Hedges" finger technique and rhythm style, plus a hint of **"Steve Howe" melodies and progressions.

The music and performances do well in intimate social surroundings, art gallery events, and similar venues.
