Adrian Legg – A True Innovator of Acoustic and Electric Guitar
What astounds me is that there are a number of briliant guitar players who fall into the Legend Category for guitarists like myself, and in some cases they are not household names. Admittedly I’ve played guitar and followed the development of it for 40 years. One player that visitors need to be aware of is Adrian Legg.
Adrian is an English guitar player, he wrote numerous articles in the Seventies and Eighties and in 1981 published a book called Customising Your Electric Guitar, this book set the benchmark for all others to follow.
This is a beautiful tune and Adrian himself assured me it’s easy enough to play. Adrian plays very clean fingerstyle guitar and if you explore his work over the years you will very quickly come to realise that he is one of the true inovators of the guitar. He has recorded about 15 albums and is currently touring.

hey tony… true about how most of the most incredible guitarists somehow get forgotten by the masses.
i’ve never heard of this guy… but freakin wow! talking about making guitar a one man show – no pedals, no loops… just amazing.
pulling the two major was unexpected… lol
Same feeling here, really amazing. This man is just become my inspiration in my guitar lessons.
Thanks
My goodness – the best bit of playing since Davey’s She Moved Through the Fair that I recorded in Soutnaptoin in 1965
I should have said Southampton 1965. Was anybody there? What tuning is Adrian using? Anyone know?
