Eric Henderson is one of only three people to study privately with the master guitarist Andres Segovia.

Eric spent several years in Spain learning the intricacies of the classical guitar, while playing as much as 12 hours a day. In addition to studying with Andres Segovia, Henderson has studied guitar with Christopher Parkening, Angel Romero, Ernesto Bitetti, Emilio Pujol and Antonia Morales. He has spent time studying Baroque interpretation with Ton Koopman and Henk Dekker, and theory and composition with Aureo Hererro. While Eric was in Spain he also had the honor of studying with the great composer Federico Moreno Torroba, perfecting the interpretation of Torroba's Sonatina in A.


Eric Henderson's new DVD and CD "Homage" and "Homage Guitar Masterpieces" are a collection of pieces he has studied, arranged and performed over the last four decades. They both include pieces by Bach, Villa Lobos, and other standards of the classical guitar. Eric also performs his arrangements of Little Wing by Jimi Hendrix and the Jagger/Richards song, Paint it Black as well three original compositions.

The song "Paint It, Black" was released by The Rolling Stones as a single in 1966. It also appeared as the opening track of the U.S. version of their 1966 album Aftermath.

It was written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, though Brian Jones contributed to the song's signature sound. Band member and bass player Bill Wyman claims in his book that the song was a collective effort of the group, a 'Nanker-Phelge', but mistakenly credited to Jagger/Richards at the end of the book.

"Paint It, Black" reached number one in both the U.S. and the U.K. charts in that same year, 1966. In 2004 it was ranked number 174 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
