Dan Lambert is a spirited and seasoned musician/guitarist currently based in El Paso, Texas (U.S.A.) who denotes his playing style as folk-jazz, as a music fan can hear on his most recent recording, "The Blue Hand". His workhorse guitars include a '52 Martin 000-28 with custom wide neck and a Tony Revell custom acoustic. Lambert has been playing guitar since 1972, and unreservedly relates his career objective, "To continue making my living at music - performing, recording and teaching."
When requested to let slip his top choice for an effect for the guitar, Lambert resolutely answered, "The rich wooden ring of a good steel string," and then outlined 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 maintains a desire 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 at the moment listening to the Brazillian cats ("especially Baden Powell"). His most important gratification? "I love to practice," he muses without hesitation.
Lambert winds up by mentioning long-term and forthcoming endeavors insightfully, 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").
