We kicked off 2021 with world renowned guitarist, Carter Arrington. Currently residing in England, Carter's extensive resume is mostly U.S. based thus far. Originally from Roanoke Virginia, Carter became interested and quickly emerged in guitar at age twelve. He played and studied throughout high school, and after attending a Berklee College of Music summer program it was clear that music was not only going to be an enjoyable hobby but a lifelong passion. Relocating to Atlanta at age 16, Carter attended the Atlanta Institute of Music at night while still in high school and began teaching classes after graduating. After a stint at Belmont University in Nashville, Austin became home in 2003. This is where is career as a musician really began to shine. In 2006 Cater completed his Bachelor of music degree in Jazz Performance at the University of Texas, was teaching regularly and had become a seasoned and sought after guitarist in the live music capital of the world. He has since played with countless artists including legends such as David Grissom, Kirk Covington and Eric Johnson. He has been a regular at landmark venues such as the Elephant Room and Saxon pub and has covered a wide range of music from jazz, fusion, funk, R&B, rock, blues, jingles and just about anything else a gig called for. 

In recent years Carter began collaborating and touring with the fusion titans, Progger as well as touring with and headlining the Psycho Las Vegas festival with art rock legend, Arthur Brown. Currently preparations for a masterclass are underway and a new album collaboration with Kirk Covington is being mixed. Avid guitarists around the world seek lessons with Carter via Skype and post pandemic will certainly most likely see a return to the states and future touring. 

We had a great time catching up, having some laughs and learning about this virtuoso's amazing musical journey. For more follow Carter on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and check out carterarrington.com
