Exploiting Diversity
Perhaps no other instrument has as many facets as the guitar. It's part of nearly every culture and sub-culture in the world. John Dearman, one of the members of the Los Angeles Guitar Quartet, says that's the key to its success. He says, "The way to make classical guitar work is to exploit the diversity." John Dearman and the other members of the LAGQ will be in the PT studios today, following their own advice, exploiting the diversity of the guitar. We'll hear them in everything from 17th century Spain to modern-day jazz.
