“Great tone, control and musical judgment, my favorite type of player.” — Russell Malone

“I’ve been enjoying the guitar as an instrument and it’s amazing artists all of my life. To me Barry Greene is just about one of the best; not only as a player, but also as a writer and a teacher. I agree with others who regard him as a world class musician.”
— Pat Martino
