"Michael's melodies sing over a solid groove. He learned a lot from his heroes".
Product Description
Inspired by his father's music collection and the gift of an early 1950s Gibson acoustic, Michael O'Dorn began playing guitar around the age of six. He learned to play fingerstyle by listening to records until he was able to figure out progressions and licks. Merle Travis, Chet Atkins, and Marcel Dadi are his primary influences, and variations on the style of each player are well represented on Michael O'Dorn in Concert. 47 minutes of concert footage plus interview.
