Contemporary acoustic fingerstyle guitar.
Teja Gerken is no stranger to those familiar with the Bay Area acoustic guitar scene. Born in Germany, but calling San Francisco home, he is a seasoned performer, and has shared the stage with players such as Alex de Grassi, Henry Kaiser, and John Renbourn, as well as with his mentor, Peppino DAgostino. Gerkens playing blends myriad influences into a musical style that hovers around the perimeters of folk, contemporary classical, and world music, often involving alternate tunings, right-hand tapping, and percussive effects. Gerkens latest CD Postcards is featured on KFOGs Acoustic Sunrise list of Favorite new CDs of 2005. Teja Gerken is also on the editorial staff of Acoustic Guitar magazine.

SUPER SPECTACULAR meeting you bro
PLEASE SEE MY STUFF :)
If you need any help figuring out the YouTube sensation let me know HAPPY to help
I can't seen to get featured so i'm doing things the hard way ONE SUBSCRIBER AT A TIME.
In many ways i prefer to receive subscribers ONE SUBSCRIBER AT A TIME
this way i can meet each and every one of you and get to know you.
and that's a super cool opportunity for me.
I've been playing for over 30 years and now i've reached an experimental gateway of sorts. I feel obligated to explore the new possibilities i'm discovering for future generations to benefit from.
For this reason Any and ALL SUBSCRIBERS are DEAR to me.
Please
i encourage you to stop by an click subscribe at my channel to support ALL experimental guitar players.
Looking forward to meeting each and every one of you
ONE AT A TIME :)
thanks again
your friend
