Tobias Hurwitz is a sparkling, potent guitar player from Baltimore, Maryland (U.S.A.) who expresses his style as funk/rock/metal/jazz, as can be heard on his latest release, "Painted Sky".  His guitar of choice is a PRS Custom. Hurwitz has played guitar since 1977, and frankly confirms his career goal, "My goals are to get better at playing and to share my knowledge with others. Also, to continue writing instructional materials and keep recording CDs."
When requested to name his ideal effect for the guitar, Hurwitz responded with, "Wah," and submitted his musicial goals, "Speed and tricks are not nearly as important as good songs, the groove and emotional content." He would like to someday study with Steve Vai, and is currently listening to Phil Sudo, Sean Malone, Maxwell and P-Funk. His utmost satisfaction? "Seeing good things happen for my friends and family," he answers indisputably.
 Hurwitz mentions ongoing and upcoming projects in his own words, "My song, "Zen Guitar", just won a contest and will be featured on "The Music Monthly Compilation CD". I now endorse Budda amps, PRS guitars, and Ernie Ball strings. I also have two new instructional books coming out soon, one on guitar tone and one on classic rock."
Hurwitz's discography (available here at Guitar Nine Records) includes several solo albums ("Painted Sky", "The Way Of Zen Guitar") and participation on another recording (Tobias Hurwitz Band "Zen Shred Zone").
