For our sixth episode, we speak with guitarist Eric Skye. Based in the Pacific Northwest, Skye occupies a unique niche between folk, jazz and blues; fingerstyle and flatpicking; and composition and improvisation. A lifetime spent pursuing eclectic interests and adventuresome explorations has yielded an instantly recognizable personal style and tone.
Our conversation winds its way through a variety of topics including: Letting go of the notion of being a good guitar player; being comfortable being yourself; and letting music be a form of self-expression. We also talk about how duos are the perfect band size for introverts and a lot more.
