Buzz Feiten is one of the world's truly original guitarists. Well known for his extraordinary skills as an improviser, Buzz has thrilled audiences and fellow musicians of all schools of playing with his taste, tone and endless imagination.

Long sought after as a session player since he exploded on the scene in his late teens in the legendary Paul Butterfield Blues Band, on his debut album with Butterfield, 'Keep on Movin', Buzz filled the vacated guitar seats of blues legends Mike Bloomfield and Elvin Bishop. Soon the word was out that there was a new voice on the guitar: right in the middle of the Hendrix-Clapton-Bloomfield era.

Since then, Buzz has recorded and toured with a wide variety of artists ranging from Stevie Wonder and Aretha Franklin to Bob Dylan and Rickie Lee Jones, as well as co-leading bands with keyboard artist, Neil Larsen. Their debut album 'Full Moon' is a much sought after collector's item and one of the seminal moments in the development of fusion jazz.

A musician's musician, it is not uncommon for keyboard players, drummers, bassists, horn players, vocalists and every studio player in town to pack the audience when Buzz performs live. It's a treat for all to experience unbridled emotion tempered by extraordinary technique and taste - the Buzz Feiten hallmark.

With an unrelenting passion for anything having to do with making the guitar sound and play better, Buzz's laser focus was eventually trained on the fundamental problem of every guitar player - tuning and intonation. With the same commitment and imagination he brings to his guitar playing, Buzz discovered and developed the ultimate solution to guitar intonation - The Buzz Feiten Tuning System, a revolutionary redesign of the intonation method for guitar, allowing the guitarist to play in tune anywhere on the fingerboard.

Some of the artists currently using the Buzz Feiten Tuning System include: Steve Vai, Larry Carlton, Robben Ford, Robert Fripp, Adrian Belew, Pete Anderson, Liona Boyd, "Dimebag" Darrell (Pantera), Mick Mars, Michael Landau, Tim Pierce, Dean Parks, Jackson Browne, David Crosby, Michael Thompson, Jeff Miley, The California Guitar Trio, Bobby Cochran, Stu Hamm, Jimmy Haslip, and many others.
