This month John Wheatcroft looks at the incredible natural and false harmonic techniques of this Canadian jazz virtuoso, with help from British guitarist Nigel Price.

-  John Wheatcroft

Lorne Lofsky is a phenomenal jazz guitarist with a glittering career spanning over 40 years. Highlights include working with legends such as Oscar Peterson, Chet Baker and Ray Brown, and for many years Lorne had a successful quartet with another amazing Canadian guitar virtuoso, the great Ed Bickert. An in-demand educator, Lofsky has also enjoyed an equally successful parallel career teaching at various respected institutions, hosting masterclasses across the globe and in recent years moving into online teaching and mentoring. Along with an extensive resume as a live performer, Lorne has an equally impressive portfolio of recordings as sideman, collaborator and solo artist. It’s our great pleasure to feature his video interview, alongside another incredible jazz guitarist and long-time friend of GT, Nigel Price. This coincides with a run of live dates in the UK for this pair of exquisite exponents - visit Nigel’s website for more details.
