PAUL FENTON "Lost In The Woods " Slide from Canada! http://radio3.cbc.ca/#/artists/PAUL-FENTON | http://storm.ca/~moparman/pfenton.shtml "Perhaps only the Australian Dave Hole is comparable in the slide guitar stakes, as Canadian Paul Fenton plays some of the most mesmerising, warm toned slide guitar you have ever heard...A majestic player who at times seems to weave his guitar lines through the eyes of an imaginary needle, Those who have never heard Paul Fenton before. Once you've heard this albums you will be hooked." Pete Feenstra, www.getreadytorock.com, London England
Two of Paul's most important musical "imprintings" came when he saw the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show in 1964 and when he heard Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones play slide guitar on "Little Red Rooster."
Above, Brian playing slide in Ottawa in 1965. The first time he heard Mississippi Fred McDowell on slide and Syd Barrett's Pink Floyd were equally inspirational. Some of Paul's favourite slide players are (in no particular order): Tampa Red, Blind Willie Johnson, Blind Willie McTell, Rory Gallagher , Duane Allman , Johnny Winter, Elmore James, Brian Jones and David Gilmour from Pink Floyd. Paul plays open tunings exclusively, among them: G, D, E, D modal, a D minor 'drone' tuning (taught to him by bluesman Guy Davis when they played together at the Ottawa Folk Festival in 1999), C and more.

Paul is entirely self-taught on slide guitar and began with the decision to take out several "how to" play slide guitar books from the local library. Most decisive of all, Paul was hooked for life after the time he ventured down Highway 401 to see and hear the explosive blues rock of 'modern-day Robert Johnson', Rory Gallagher in 1973 at the Colonial Tavern - with "King Biscuit Boy" (Richard Newell 1944-2003) opening up, backed by McKenna Mendelson Mainline.

After the Gallagher concerts, Paul decided to make music his life. Some thirteen years later, he would repay Rory by giving him a Supro Dualtone guitar as a thank you gift (Paul had also opened for Rory in Montreal at the 1,100
