Classical guitarist James Edwards has been a performer, teacher, and recording artist for over 25 years. James plays contemporary guitars, as well as historical instruments of the Renaissance and Baroque periods, such as the five-course guitar and ten course lute.
The five course guitar has 9 strings, as 4 of the "courses" are pairs of the same string, with the highest string being the only string that is not a doubled pair. The repertoire for the 5 course baroque guitar is quite different from the contemporary guitar repertoire, and has a closer parentage to 6 course lute and vihuela music.
James Edwards' has released ten CDs in his career, as well as several guitar music books published by Mel Bay Publishing.
