It's hard to believe that 2010 marks 50 years since Lee Ritenour started playing the guitar, setting in motion a career that legends are made of. A career that has earned him 19 GRAMMY nominations, a GRAMMY Award, numerous #1 spots on guitar polls, A Lifetime Achievement Award from the Canadian SJ Awards, and the prestigious "Alumnus of the Year" award from USC. During his illustrious career, he has recorded over 40 albums, with 35 chart songs and was a founding member of the group Fourplay, considered the most successful group in contemporary jazz. Lee is also well known for his session guitar work with legendary acts including Mama and Papa's, Pink Floyd (he was bought in to 'beef' up Run Like Hell from The Wall) and many more. On his latest endeavour, 6 String Theory, Ritenour celebrates the instrument that has allowed him this blessing, the guitar; by producing and assembling a star-studded tribute with the greatest and soon- to- be greatest guitarists of our time. For 6 String Theory, Ritenour is also among the twenty legendary world class guitarists starring on the recording, which he produced along with John Burk of the Concord Music Group. Joining him in this tribute to the guitar, the all-star line-up includes: George Benson, BB King, Slash, Steve Lukather, John Scofield, Robert Cray and Vince Gill among many other superstars. Blending rock, blues, jazz, acoustic, country and classical, they come together for a seamless project that promises to take the listener on a musical journey and exploration of the guitar. Also featured on vocals are BB King, Robert Cray, Vince Gill, Keb' Mo', Taj Majal, Joe Bonamassa and Jonny Lang.
