Wishing You Well
Brian, just wanted you to know that I did take a look at this great web site. It was a pleasure talking with you from Charlotte to Phoenix, learning about your exploits.

All the best, young man.

Excerpt from February 2007 Issue of Guitar Player Magazine Entitled "101 Forgotten Greats and Unsung Heroes" (Feature Cover Story)

BRIAN LONBECK - "A teenage hotshot with Barbara Mandrell in the 60's, Lonbeck was fortunate enough to study at the feet of country guitar colossus, Joe Maphis.  This has made Lonbeck the pre-eminent torch-bearer of Maphis' blazing, groundbreaking style.  Lonbeck is also a stupefyingly good Travis picker, although he uses a flatpick instead of the Merle-approved thumbpick.  Deke Dickerson's Guitar Geek Festival 2004-2006 DVD's are currently the best way to see Lonbeck's amazing 6-string ability.  Go to guitarplayertv.com and see for yourself."
