Huttlinger also has two upcoming Nashville camps, in October and November.
Watch for Huttlinger at this week’s Walnut Valley Festival in Winfield, Kansas - where he once won that National Fingerstyle Guitar Championship - and in October, 2014, at Jorma Kaukonen’s Fur Peace Ranch, in Pomeroy, Ohio. We also discussed the cool “concept” album he released last year, McGuire’s Landing, which comes complete with a 52-page fictional short story Huttlinger wrote to give “pictures” to the gorgeous music on the disc. In this exclusive interview, conducted the day of Huttlinger’s recent Montana guitar clinic, we spoke with him about overcoming obstacles, and about the daily practice routine that got him back on stage. And now he’s back out there, touring, playing, and amazing audiences the world over once again.
Instead, after doctors outfitted him with a device that keeps his heart ticking, Huttlinger, a self-proclaimed “goal oriented” person, picked up the guitar and “slowly but surely” worked through the pain, not to mention the total inability to use his right hand. Clearly, the fingerstyle ace was building a pretty strong resume and following, particularly in the acoustic solo world, when he was dealt a pretty major setback or two, in the form of a major stroke in 2010, followed within months by end-stage heart failure.īut he didn’t give up.
