Solo Guitar Magic with Pete Huttlinger!

Ever seen a guitar player play the bass line and melody with a bit of percussion added in? Meet Pete Huttlinger.

Pete has played with Faith Hill, Lee Ann Rimes, Jimmy Buffett, and the late John Denver, but after winning the prestigious National Fingerstyle Championship at the Walnut Valley Festival in Winfield, Kansas, in 2000, Huttlinger has concentrated on an amazing solo career.
