BIO:
Considered today one of the world's leading fretless guitarists, Edward
is perhaps the only the playing an authentic Indian style on a fretless
guitar thanks to his double decade pilgrimage with the sitar. On top of
this Edward is also an accomplished oud player and has brought the makam
language also to the fretless guitar captured in sounds coming from the
instrument he designed and built himself which is a combination of a sarod
and an oud. Recording artist, performer, teacher, instrument builder,
traveler.. read Edward's full BIO.
