The guitarist who became a “folk hero” to Willie Nelson

The guitarist who became a “folk hero” to Willie NelsonWith someone like Willie Nelson, who has released such a massive amount of music and has dabbled in a large variety of sounds, it is hard to adequately summarise his attitude towards music. His primary consideration is whether it sounds good; if it does, then it makes sense to him. He had a troubled upbringing, and an accident when he was younger meant that he might have never played guitar again. In that way, Reinhardt did not just influence Nelson as a guitarist, but as a philosophy. Certainly, Reinhardt and Nelson don’t think so, and the result is excellent music that moves and inspires.
