Some quotes about him:
Sergio Assad “Peter Finger is one of my all time favorite guitarists! His music is highly refreshing and his playing absolutely wonderfull.”
Tommy Emmanuel c.g.p. “Peter Finger is a truly unique musician – and I love his work!”
John Renbourn “Peter just seems to go from strength to strength. Everytime I hear him he has moved on and he was pretty astounding back in the early days. ‘Blue Moon’ is simply awesome.”
Buster B. Jones “I think that Peter adds a whole new dimension to the world of fingerstyle guitar. He’s phenomenal!”
Stefan Grossman “Peter is a musical bomb exploding with textures, ideas and athmospheres.”
Laurence Juber “Peter Finger combines awesome chops with an advanced compositional sensibility that puts him in the highest echelon of contemporary acoustic guitarists.”
Peppino D’Agostino
“Peter Finger is a true original guitarist. His music is intelligent, emotional and captivating. I believe that he’s one of the best guitarists that ever walked the planet!”
Pierre Bensusan “Peter Finger is much more than a great guitarist playing a very dynamic and intensive music with many orchestral qualities, he is a real artist and composer using his instrument as a vehicle, with a very distinctive sound and touch.He also has all my gratitude for his longtime support to guitar music in general. We owe him a lot. For all this, thank you Peter!”
Martin Taylor “Peter Finger is a living legend in the world of acoustic guitar music. A virtuoso guitarist and gifted composer, he’s probably done more to promote the acoustic guitar than anyone I know.”
Marco Pereira:
Rio de Janeiro February, 15th 2005 “Hector Berlioz, one of the greatest masters of orchestration, says “In his method that the guitar (and he played the guitar himself!) sounds like a small orchestra. When Ilisten to Peter Finger playing his compositions on the guitar I have the feeling I’m not listening to a small but to a full symphonic orchestra!”
Kevin Ryan “The first time I heard Peter Finger completely transformed what I thought the guitar could do. I was no stranger to sophisticated guitar music but Peter’s music just opened a whole new world of technique and melody.”
David Tanenbaum “Peter Finger writes music with a harmonic palette that is broader than what usually hears in the acoustic guitar world. His music is interesting, colorful and full of life. But beyond any analysis, I just like it. I look forward to each new release, and play the cd’s repeatedly when they arrive.”
Woody Mann “Peter has crafted a playing style all his own. His compositions represent some of the most creative, original and exciting music on the guitar scene today.”
