155 - Yasmin Williams' Thrilling Steel-String Approaches

New guitar hero alert! Virtuoso steel-string fingerstylist and composer YASMIN WILLIAMS is a guitar star on the rise. In this exclusive interview, the young Washington D.C.-based guitarist performs her solo pieces and riffs for you, and demonstrates the techniques and inspirations that are the hallmarks of her captivating style — a shimmering sound that has landed her appearances everywhere from NPR’s Tiny Desk concert series to the Kennedy Center to features in the New York Times and other huge news outlets to a solo set at the Newport Folk Festival. She also busts out a dulcimer hammer (whaaat?) and shows you “Karate chop harmonics.” Love this episode? Thank TASCAM and the Tascam Mixcast 4 for bringing it to you. Thank you, Tascam!
