About Me

I am also and artist but my main thing is the guitar, whether it's pop music or jazz or in between. I can do solo gigs, completely self-contained with backing tracks that I created myself (it's like having 10 of me) of pop music in all styles or just beautiful background instrumental for your home or office or wherever. I have extensive professional experience and I tend to favor playing songs that everybody knows, which I also do in the instrumental background arena, prefferring to concentrate on Beatles instead of tired old "jazz standards". My arrangement of "Michelle" is gorgeous, or so I have been told by Mark Egan,7-time Grammy winning bassist as well as hundreds of other folks. My professional affiliation with many famous bands is known, as well as my music with guitar legend Larry Coryell. http://www.paulsantamaria.com ("Invention")
