George Nash

Modern Fingerstyle Guitarist sounding like a full band through only one guitar.
Gitarydd modern "fingerstyle" sy'n swnio fel band llawn trwy un gitar yn unig.

George Nash is a 23 year old up-and-coming fingerstyle guitarist. He’s known for his percussive guitar techniques, playing in a range of different genres and styles to take the audience on a musical journey through his performances. Having been endorsed by Dowina Guitars and Moddevices, he has his mind set on music and is currently in the process of recording an original album. Expect a dash of Celtic influences from his homeland of Wales.

George plays in a very unique style of guitar named Modern Fingerstyle which is only just becoming more mainstream from guitarists such as Tommy Emmanuel, Mike Dawes, Jon Gomm or Marcin. In this style he uses the full acoustic guitar to sound like a full band live by doing the drums on the body, bass, harmony, and the melody all at once, live with no loops or backing tracks. It can also be played acoustically if required.

George discovered this way of playing on Youtube back in his hometown of Aberystwyth, Wales. He has been playing guitar for over ten years now and can perform either original work or instrumental cover arrangements as required and in this time, he has been endorsed by Dowina Guitars and Moddevices, he won the Young Musician of Dyfed competition, he has released an album of original music, and he was invited out to Kronberg in Germany to perform at a cultural event there among many more achievements. He is also studying a masters in music performance currently.
