Jaquie Gipson is one of those guitarists you're glad you discovered before anyone else did. Her music is deceptively unassuming, but is actually loaded with all sorts of complex techniques, most notably a heavy dose of two-hand tapping. I was recently hanging out with Jaquie and another colleague who asked her how she spent her free time. "Practicing my guitar," she said. Jaquie then sat down to play a Northwood Mini-Jumbo I had just purchased, and his only response was, "I guess you've been practicing A LOT".

When I heard the first few songs from both of Jaquie's CDs, it was clear to me that her music finds its roots in many of the guitar greats of the last 20 years, most notably Leo Kottke and Michael Hedges, but also more recent stars like Billy McLaughlin and Preston Reed. But what's nice is, I'm not alone in this assessment. This review from Minor 7th draws exactly the same conclusion--Jaquie's music is an enjoyable blend of many of the styles fingerstyle fans have been steeped in for the past several decades. But her guitar work doesn't settle into a single groove: It covers everything from rousing two-handed work to 12-string slide, to standard Travis-picked jingles, to reflective solo melodies. I highly recommend checking out her music.
