Excerpt from February 2007 Issue of Guitar Player Magazine Entitled "101 Forgotten Greats and Unsung Heroes" (Feature Cover Story)

BRIAN LONBECK - "A teenage hotshot with Barbara Mandrell in the 60's, Lonbeck was fortunate enough to study at the feet of country guitar colossus, Joe Maphis.  This has made Lonbeck the pre-eminent torch-bearer of Maphis' blazing, groundbreaking style.  Lonbeck is also a stupefyingly good Travis picker, although he uses a flatpick instead of the Merle-approved thumbpick.  Deke Dickerson's Guitar Geek Festival 2004-2006 DVD's are currently the best way to see Lonbeck's amazing 6-string ability.  Go to guitarplayertv.com and see for yourself."
