Edits of Article[edit]

Here is a summary of what I have done to the Bensusan article.

-Fixed some minor grammar problems, including verb tenses, problems with NPOV, and readability.

-Is DADGAD Pierre's personal recording company that he himself named, or is it just a music publisher? Or am I getting confused with Favor Nations? I think Lawrence Juber also records for DADGAD.

-In terms of the summary of Bensusan's album Intuite it is his first purely instrumental album as opposed to what the article had stated as solely acoustical.

I will come back to this article in the upcoming weeks to add citations. Will look into August issue of the magazine "Fingerstyle Guitar" of which his interview was profiled.

Your question on DADGAD: the six open strings on a guitar are normally tuned E-A-D-G-B-E. Bensusan instead tunes the open strings to D-A-D-G-A-D. Joconnor 04:21, 30 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

[QUOTE]His unique style of scat-singing more than makes up for in warmth, inventiveness and charm what it lacks in technical ability[/QUOTE]

I think this comment is totally out of place. He is considerd one of the best technicians in the fingerstyle world. I saw him live 2 weeks ago and his playing and musicianship are second to none. I am a guitar player, I know what I'm talking about.
