Featured Harp Guitar Player |
This page debuted in 2004 with less than 20 bona fide harp guitarists. At this point, there are several hundred harp guitar players at all levels out there. This page includes those who perform with a harp guitar regularly, or, at minimum, have recorded with some form of harp guitar more than a single time. These players include full-time harp guitar-exclusive players, full-time musicians who utilize harp guitar for a small to large part of their material, and various part-time players (who may or not play the instrument exclusively). The majority of these musicians play the most recognizable basic form of harp guitar – one which contains sub-bass "harp" strings to the left of the standard neck. An increasingly common form adds "super-treble" harp strings on the opposite side of the neck, while other experimenters may add additional banks of strings. Inclusion on this page - a growing index of players of the instrument - requires that these players all actually utilize (i.e. play, by distinct, individual plucking during its use) the various harp strings of their instruments. The Music page includes albums by additional amateur and professional musicians who have recorded at least one track on a harp guitar. We first highlight players of all
styles who have become most visible through the annual
Harp Guitar Gatherings.
Players of contemporary music are listed next, followed by players of
historical music, then kontragitarre
players, a melancholy In Memorium
section, then a final link to historical harp
guitarists. |

In
the rapidly-growing world of harp guitar it has become all but
impossible to keep track of all the new players and the extent of
their activities.
Therefore, the Players list below makes no determination or
distinction between which are professionals, amateurs or in-between;
full- or part-time; nor to what extent harp guitar is used or
showcased. Some of these performers may be brand new
up-and-coming stars while others have already retired from the
instrument. |
