Larry Campbell

I am a guitarist originally from Little Rock AR. I began playing professionally at age 15 & by age 30, had played in 10 working bands & had traveled Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi, Missouri, Louisiana, Kansas, & New Mexico, playing everything from top 40, pop, disco, R&B, Funk, Jazz, hard rock & original tunes & "acoustic guitar" as a solo artist in country clubs & private parties. Also a session player for many recording sessions in the local area but can only account for about 5 published recordings for various artists. I am a student of music theory from the "school of hard knocks" & about 40 years, I love improv-style playing! Fav Reference books: *Elementary Harmony by Robert Ottman *Perspectives in Music Theory by Paul Cooper *Ted Greene's Jazz Harmony Series by Dale Zdeneck Publications *Modes/No More Mystery by Frank Gambale A partial list of gigging bands: BOOTHILL HEATWAVE RISING TIDE A NEW DAY WC HANDY MAXX STATELINE AVENUE BAND THE TEKNEKS JOYFUL NOISE WARRIOR My current CD project, is a multi-genre "instrumental" album, crossing rock, fusion, jazz, blues & solo acoustic, for those who like the emotional effects of melodic solo lines & a "modal perspective" to chord structure. Its my belief that "instrumental compositions" are unique, in that they can very accurately tell a story around a simple theme & trigger the emotions in the process! The CD will be available winter of '09
