[edit] Fingerstyle Guitar
After more than 30 years of playing and composing, Haselhoff released his debut CD Fingerstyle Guitar Solos in the year 2005, with the small label Peghead Productions. Fingerstyle is an advanced guitar technique, with the guitarist playing the melody, harmonics and bass lines all at the same time. The CD was well received, particularly in the USA, where Haselhoff is sometimes compared to guitarist Chet Atkins. Soon, the American label Solid Air Records picked Haselhoff's music for release in the USA, and also invited Haselhoff to contribute to Cole Porter: DeLovely Guitar, an acoustic guitar tribute to the great American composer. This album, DeLovely Guitar appeared in April 2007, featuring Haselhoff's rendition of You'd Be So Nice To Come Home To. Haselhoff's highly acclaimed second album, Guitar Magic, appeared in November 2007. Eltjo Haselhoff is currently living in the USA.
