Laurence Juber
Intricate, world-class fingerstyle guitar that sounds like an entire orchestra emerging from six strings. Warm, crystalline, and deeply peaceful.

Laurence Juber is a pivotal figure in the evolution of contemporary fingerstyle guitar, bridging the gap between high-level session musicianship and solo virtuosity. His career is famously bifurcated by his tenure as the lead guitarist for Paul McCartney's Wings (1978-1981), where he contributed to 'Back to the Egg' and won a Grammy for 'Rockestra.'
This rock pedigree informs his solo work, giving his acoustic arrangements a melodic sensibility and rhythmic drive often missing from more academic folk players. Post-Wings, Juber established himself as a premier solo artist and 'first-call' studio musician in Los Angeles. His technical identity is rooted in the use of DADGAD and other altered tunings, combined with a sophisticated 'orchestral' approach to the fretboard. He is highly regarded in the audiophile community, with releases like 'Guitar Noir' winning awards for surround-sound engineering. His influence is cemented through his signature Martin guitar models and extensive educational publications, making him a cornerstone of the modern acoustic guitar canon.
