About This:
A brilliantly inventive melodist with a ton of chops and a warm, appealing tone, Swedish guitarist Andreas Öberg pays tribute to his six-string heroes on My Favorite Guitars. From swinging fare like Wes Montgomery's "Trick Bag," Django Reinhardt's "Troublant Bolero" and Pat Martino's "Uptown Downtown" to lush orchestral offerings like George Benson's "The Changing World" and Toninho Horta's "Waiting for Angela" to groove-oriented numbers like Pat Metheny's "Here To Stay" and Luis Salinas's "Funky Tango," Öberg distinguishes himself as an accomplished, rhythmically assured plectorist with a penchant for uncommon lyricism. He is most definitely a talent deserving of wider recognition.
