Wilburn Burchette

Eccentric American guitarist and synth-psych pioneer Master Wilburn Burchette was largely a self-taught musician, whose fascination with the occult led him to tread a path similar to other solo guitar mystics such as Roy Montgomery, Loren Connors or Sir Richard Bishop. Before his first recordings, he'd been a classical guitar teacher and independently had developed a technique that prioritized vibrations rather than riffs. He recorded and released at least seven albums from 1971 to 1977.
