Guitarists from Leo Kottke to Larry Corryel, to Tuck Andress, Tommy Emmanuel, Mark Knopfler, Andrew York, Andy Timmons, Pat Metheny, and Steve Lukather… have sung his praises, and Steve Vai released three Bensusan albums on his label Favored Nations. And it's not just guitarists who are so inspired by Pierre's music, as a recent studio collaboration with him on Donny Osmond’s latest album “Start Again” goes to show.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf World Music means the fusion of traditional, contemporary, jazz, classical, and pop music, then Bensusan is one of the most eloquent World Music musicians of our time. A pianist in his beginnings, then self-taught on the guitar, the originality of his style makes him one of today’s greatest guitarists and composers for the instrument. Also called “The Prince of DADGAD”, his story is far from trivial, and it is on stage that this artist has earned his stripes: among others, the Rose d'Or of the Montreux Festival, and being elected Best Guitarist of World Music by the readers of Guitar Player Magazine! His triple album \"Encore\" won the Grand Prix at the Independent Music Awards in the Best Live Album category... Since his first performances in 1974 in France, the guitarist has sold half a million albums and given thousands of concerts around the globe, both solo and through numerous collaborations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePierre Bensusan is an adventurer of unusual lands. His music is an intimate and orchestral hymn, a solo crossing on a multi-shell Lowden guitar subjected to the natural elements with sound molecules and finger pulp on an ebony fingerboard for open tuning - a unique and transparent technique, under the fingers of an adventurous pilgrim. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“For me, so total is his mastery of the solo instrument, his dazzling harmony, his many innovations, and his deft command of counterpoint, the jazz idiom, folk expression, and all genres between and beyond, an entire history unfolds as Pierre Bensusan plays. But really, the emotional depth – and this is where true artistry often likes to live – of many of his songs and compositions is all, well, breathtaking. With only his steel-string-acoustic guitar – and sometimes his rich, affecting voice – Mr Bensusan can disassemble your heart and hand it back to you restored and renewed as he did to mine tonight. A true giant.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJames Volpe Rotondi (editor at Guitar Player Magazine)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"I've seen Alfred Brendel, Itzhak Perlman, Daniel Barenboim, Lynn Harrell, Nureyev, Placido Domingo, etc., etc., perform magnificently. Tonight, in Atlanta, in the last half of the second set, Pierre Bensusan went a quantum beyond the warm, compelling, appealing, extremely accomplished guitarist whose recordings and performances I've eagerly sought for over 30 years. He's achieved the sublime -- decades of technique, creativity, intuition, passion, and intensity crashed together -- a man transformed, singular, stunning. I have so seldom had the privilege and pure animal joy of experiencing this caliber of artistry.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRain Crow (a fan)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"1335\" height=\"751\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SM4bN6eYOG4\" title=\"La Vie En Rose 1\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"1335\" height=\"751\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2WC879mJZ7w\" title=\"Hekimoglu (V2)\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"1335\" height=\"751\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jLsdVAjwtvY\" title=\"DANCE OF THE GOLDEN SNAKE\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 170, 255);\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 170, 255);\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Harry's Guitar Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52444168716519,"sku":"TIX-PB091926","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0267\/3249\/4934\/files\/pb__152-_1_0f1a5c50-9f65-445e-beed-4f1dc23d9f0c.webp?v=1758565146","url":"https:\/\/harrysguitarshop.com\/products\/harrys-guitar-shop-presents-pierre-bensusan-the-infinite-guitar-tour-2026","provider":"Harry's Guitar Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
