Eltjo Haselhoff (1962) is best known as a Dutch 'fingerstyle' guitarist and composer, although he has delved into numerous other endeavours, including arts (cartoons, caricatures, oil paintings, photography), science (physics, biophysics and magnetic resonance), musical instrument building and engineering. He has played guitar since he was 8 years old, but has never had one single guitar lesson. He does not read or write music. He also plays several other musical instruments, besides the guitar.

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, chords 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. Since then, Haselhoff also appeared on various cover albums, including Cole Porter: DeLovely Guitar, Poppin' Guitars: A Tuneful of Sherman and A Guitar for Elvis. Haselhoff's second solo album, Guitar Magic, was released in November 2007. Besides audio CDs, Haselhoff also produced fingerstyle guitar instructional DVDs in English, Dutch and German. This is the only instructional DVD ever made with the same artist speaking three different languages (an Italian version is forthcoming). Eltjo Haselhoff is currently living in the USA.
