High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Lenny Breau (August 5, 1941–August 12, 1984) was a guitarist. He was known for blending many styles of music including: jazz, country, classical and flamenco guitar. Breau, inspired by country guitarists like Chet Atkins, used fingerstyle techniques not often used in jazz guitar. Breau was born August 5, 1941, in Auburn, Maine. His francophone parents, Harold "Hal Lone Pine" Breau and Betty Cody (nee Cote), were professional country and western musicians who performed and recorded from the mid 1930's until (in Hal Breau's case) the mid 1970's. Their son began playing guitar at the age of eight. When he was twelve years old he started a little band with friends, and by the age of fourteen he was the lead guitarist for his parents' band, billed as "Lone Pine Junior", playing Merle Travis and Chet Atkins instrumentals and occasionally singing. Breau made his first professional recordings in Westbrook, Maine at the age of 15 while working as a studio musician. Many of these recordings were released posthumously on a CD appropriately titled Boy Wonder.
