New Mexico's Own Classical Guitarist - Hardcover

by Hector Pimentel (Author), Robert B. Gardner (Editor)

Hector Pimentel did not follow in his father's footsteps. Lorenzo Pimentel, Hector's father, worked hard to become a renowned master guitar builder, making some of the most sought after guitars in the world. Hector knew at an early age that he didn't want to become a guitar maker. He wanted to become a guitar player. His brothers, Rick, Robert and Victor would carry on their father's legacy, with the help of the family matriarch, their mother Josefina Pimentel, and become master guitar builders themselves. Hector would become an accomplished classical guitarist, musician and performer known to New Mexico and beyond.

His story is one of inspiration, tragedy, recovery and success. A great many family members and friends can attest to his resilience, and his story, and theirs, can be found in this book. Look into the life of a humble man who has touched so many people with his performances, teachings, and love of music.
