Jonathan Pickard is a professional Guitarist and Pianist, specialising in performances for concerts and all live events, weddings, corporate etc. He has done this for over 25 years. He has developed a busy career specializing in Classical, Spanish, Flamenco and Latin Guitar styles (listen here) but is also known for his many arrangements of modern Pop tunes for the 6 string guitar.

​

He was trained to a First Class BA degree in Classical guitar and Jazz piano at Bath Spa University by teachers from London Trinity College, and has had many years of private tuition and masterclasses from world renowned players such as John Mills, Xuefei Yang and Terence Latham, to name just a few.

​

Recently he has become one of the new generation of 'Harp Guitarists'. Harp Guitars are a rare and ancient instrument that feature any combination of fretted (guitar-like) and un-fretted (harp-like) strings, and they are currently experiencing a popular modern renaissance.

Jon designed and commissioned his own 23 stringed version (pictured left) and now composes and performs his own original music for it, as well as other Harp Guitar composers' works, and arranging other music for the instrument.
