Many consider Guitar legend Arlen Roth to be one of the most influential musicians in the world.
In addition to his masterful performances on guitar, slide guitar, lap steel and dobro, he has been a pioneer in music education.
Roth’s “Hot Licks Video” has helped guitarists worldwide, along with his online lessons and blogs for Gibson.com, and he has published 11 books on guitar playing.
Born in the Bronx in 1952, Roth got his start playing weekends in Woodstock, N.Y., and he and his band Steel put on the First annual Woodstock Reunion Concert in 1970 in Bethel, N.Y.
He has released 18 albums since his debut, “Guitarist,” in 1978, most recently “Super Soul Session with Jerry Jemmott” this year. Roth has toured and recorded with Simon & Garfunkel, Bob Dylan, John Prine, Levon Helm, Ry Cooder, Janis Ian, The Bee Gees and many others.
