There is a worldwide hunger for great instrumental music. Sadly, many aspiring musicians have no individual instrumental heroes to inspire them today. Those heroes exist but are never seen in the media. In days past there instrumentalists like Chet Atkins, Merle Travis, Hank Garland, Floyd Cramer, Del Woods, "Pig" Robbins, Boots Randolph, Danny Davis, Buddy Emmons, Pete Drake, Lloyd Greene, The Ventures, and many other top flight musicians who kept musicians continually striving for excellence.

New Classic Country Records is exceedingly proud to bring instrumental music back to the forefront with a stellar lineup of instrumental artists whom will not only inspire, but also provide a tremendous amount of listening pleasure for the fans of country and western music. Once more, our goal is to "put country and western music back in the hearts and hands of the people". It is our keenest desire to put country and western music in the hands of instrumentalists as well. Our "New Classic Country Records ID" will bring you the best in new instrumental artists with their incredible artistry and music.

Guy is a consummate educator at the Berklee School Of Music in Boston, MA and can be found each year in July at The Chet Atkins Appreciation Society convention, which is held in Nashville, TN, where he is an intergral part of the performance segments and workshop experience. His playing echoes Chet Atkins, Jerry Reed, and the classic finger-style sounds of Country guitar picking, and his technique is second to none; yet when Guy plays, it’s all about the melody, and it’s especially about creating that gorgeous sound on his Gretsch guitar! We’re very proud to feature Guy as a New Classic Country Instrumental Artist! New online presence to come soon!!!
