Dan Lambert is a nimble-fingered and talented axe wielder currently based in El Paso, Texas (U.S.A.) who represents his playing style as folk-jazz, as a listener can readily appreciate on his most recent recording, "The Blue Hand". His most utilized guitars consist of a '52 Martin 000-28 with custom wide neck and a Tony Revell custom acoustic. Lambert has been playing guitar since 1972, and straight from the shoulder discloses his career objective, "To continue making my living at music - performing, recording and teaching."
When prompted to divulge his ultimate effect for the guitar, Lambert unflinchingly stated, "The rich wooden ring of a good steel string," and continued by citing his musicial goals, "To keep progressing and refining and exploring. When someone tells me that my playing created a picture for them or reminded them of a favorite place or person or time or better yet, took them on a little journey, then I feel good." He eagerly hopes to, at some point, study more classical guitar ("I would love to have a good classical guitar teacher at my beckon call to help me work out technical problems that I encounter"), and is presently listening to the Brazillian cats ("especially Baden Powell"). His principal gratification? "I love to practice," he explains without a doubt.
Lambert wraps up by mentioning current and approaching endeavors enthusiastically, by saying, "My next solo guitar CD."
Lambert's discography (available here at Guitar Nine Records) includes several solo albums ("The Clearing", "Melodies/Improvisations", "Plaids", "The Blue Hand").
