Kara Gordon

Guitarist

Kara Gordon is called all sorts of things at his gigs, a Maori gypsy, the white Hendrix,

a musical genius, part man - part guitar, a mystic playing straight from his soul.

"One of the most prolific young players I’ve ever seen" Joe Satriani

One thing is for sure - the man can play. In the process of learning to play, Kara

has traversed the globe seeking out guitar greats to learn from, fueled by his ability

to master different musical genres from jazz, to blues, classical to hard rock. This rare

multi-vernacular ability has shaped his distinct signature sound.

Kara's spine tingling feel has been nourished by his quest to be open to and learn

from all musical experiences. His journey has taken him from busking street corners

in New York to immersion in flamenco and rasiguado in a hut in Spain where guitar

was the only common language, to swinging in the shadow of Django Rhineheart

touring France with the Hot Club, to opening for Ozzie Osbourne to a stadium crowd

showcasing his heavy rock shredding.

Kara's goal is to become one of the worlds greatest guitar players, with a unique voice

and style of his own mixing the warm vintage sounds of Hendrix, Page, Beck and

Blackmore and fusing them with the modern techniques of Gilbert, Satriani and

Petrucci with a good measure of blues feeling and harmonic jazz sophistication.
