Meet Jordan Dodson
How many millions of kids have watched music videos and were absolutely sure that they were going to grow up to be rock guitarists? Probably just about every kid out there. Jordan Dodson was one of them. And like just about every other kid his age, he didn't grow up to be a rock-and-roller. But he did grow up to be a guitarist. And a fantastic one at that. Dodson switched from rock to classical when he was 16, and is now one of the top young guitarists of his generation. Jordan Dodson is our newest PT Young Artist-in-Residence, and joins host Fred Child in the PT studios all week.
