I am glad that I met Peter Farrell because he has been my very good friend for many years and I trust him.
There is no man on earth that knows more about my playing than this man, and also I just want you to know, there’s no place out there you’re going to get this type of information with this kind of depth.
I come to you with my observations about this monumental work: the George Benson Method Books. I’ve had an opportunity to look some of them over. I find them to be extremely thorough, concise, well laid out and easy to understand. They would be a tremendous asset to anyone who works with them. That includes students, instructors, amateurs and professionals alike. This Method Books will take it’s place in the jazz and improvisational musical educational field and will be one of the most sought after volumes of any that I’ve seen thus far.
Andy LaVerne
First of all Peter Farrel is a great musician! Through his influences and aspirations of Brazilian music to the world of pop rock and jazz, he got a consistent baggage to perform in various styles. The combination between the geniality of Benson and the musicality and born talent, coupled with the musical and organizational sense of Peter Farell, we can say that there is no such rich, detailed and formated publication in the world about the musical work of George Benson.
Toninho Horta
Peter is a great treasure of Brazil and I think he has a great and amazing future as a musician and guitar player.
Adam Rogers
I know Peter for a long time. The first time I listened to his playing I knew already I was listening to a great musician. Peter is without a doubt one of the best guitar players at the moment . His relation with the Master George Benson is very long and solid and so I am sure this GEORGE BENSON METHOD is a book that all guitar players should have. I will get one for sure !!
Leo Amuedo
I admire Peter Farrell immensely for his incredible technique, sensibility and knowledge of not only American Jazz but Brazilian music and many other influences that are so much present in our music today. And for his help to a lot of guitar players wanting to grow through his classes. Congrats Peter!
Romero Lubambo
For years I have been following with great satisfaction the evolution of this amazing Brazilian musician. A unique guitar player, virtuoso of the instrument, and a generous educator; Peter brings a method, developed with George Benson himself, that is an essential for those who want to go deep into this style. Congratulations Peter! Long life to The George Benson Method.
Chico Pinheiro
I am very happy and honored to know that my ex student Peter wrote this musical method together with a heritage guitar legend such George Benson. I met him when he was only 17 years old. He used to come from São Paulo to Rio de Janeiro just to have some lessons with me. Since then I could realize his talent, musicality and obstinacy to reach his goals in music.
Lula Galvão
I’ve met Peter when he was very young and since then he already demonstrate his genius. Time has passed and he became one of the best guitar players in the whole world. Congratulations for your dedication perseverance. You deserve to be part of this project with Benson!
