Stefan Grossman

Stefan Grossman (born April 16, 1945) is an American guitarist, teacher and businessman. Born in Brooklyn, New York, he began playing guitar at the age of nine, turning to blues after hearing the music of Big Bill Broonzy and others at the age of 15. At this time, he began studying blues styles with the legendary Reverend Gary Davis who lived in the Bronx at the time. His music remains rooted in the blues but is not limited to it. However, his love of the blues and a desire to 'spread the word' lead him to produce a large number of tutorials including recordings, videos, CDs and DVDs.

Eric Sardinas

Eric Sardinas, is an American blues-rock guitarist born in Fort Lauderdale, Florida in 1970. He's noted for his use of the electric resonator guitar and his powerful live performances. Sardinas first picked up the guitar at age six and leaned toward vintage recordings by such Delta bluesmen as Charlie Patton, Bukka White, Big Bill Broonzy, Elmore James and Muddy Waters. Although he was a born lefty, he eventually started to play right handed and his impressive style may be due to this fact. "The rawest, most emotional music is what sparked my excitement for the blues," Eric says.
