Lyle Workman is a self-motivated and driven musician/guitarist currently based in Glendale, California (U.S.A.) who denotes his playing style as rock influenced by jazz, classical, pop and country, as one might want to hear on his most recent recording, "Tabula Rasa".  His workhorse guitar is a Fender Telecaster. Workman has been playing guitar since 1973, and truthfully shares his career objective, "Composing symphonies, reaching a bigger audience with my music."
When the attempt was made to uncover his definitive or preferred effect for the guitar, Workman purposefully responded with, "Delay," and then volunteered his musicial goals, "I try to compose music that has depth and creates an emotional tone. I hope to provide a product that is unique." He keeps open the possibility to, at some point, study piano, and is at the moment listening to Radiohead, 20th century classical music, Django Reinhardt, XTC and Weather Report. His most important gratification? "Completing a piece of music and having others appreciate it," he muses emphatically.
Workman winds up by detailing long-term and forthcoming endeavors insightfully, by saying, "Touring with Beck and writing for the next project."
Guitar Nine Records visitors have compared the playing style and/or musical approach of Lyle Workman to guitarists such as Eric Johnson and others.
