Jeff Williams is one of Only 2 guitarist ON EARTH who compose using this new approach to the acoustic guitar called Piano Style Acoustic Guitar. In this style the guitar is laid FLAT and played from above with both hands 'like a piano'. Born in Tampa Florida, Jeff's journey in music began at the age of four on a piano creating short etudes which would later be realized as the basic tenants of music theory. His teacher, was a source from within himself. Jeff soon discovered fusion jazz in a recording by Jean Luc Ponty a renowned child prodigy in classical music and now a jazz fusion violinist. Other influences at that time included Steve Morse and the Dixie Dregs , Bonnie Raitt , Santana , AL Di Miola , Pink Floyd and Steely Dan.

Jeff studied jazz through his high school under renowned jazz recording artist phillip 'flip' shoemaker from Kansas University. Under his instruction 'Flip' soon had Jeff on stage with local university professors while still attending high school.Upon graduation Jeff continued his education at the University of South Florida and HCC in Tampa Fl. as a music major with a physics minor. Combining techniques of Flamenco, Jazz, Rock, Bluegrass, Fingerstyle and Classical while also integrating elements of percussion instruments he has broadened the perceived boundaries of the art of acoustic guitar forever. When asked about the art of his technique Jeff replies 'art should do one of two things .. show how someone is thinking or feeling ..... or show a NEW WAY of thinking and feeling' When you see and hear this art i'm sure you'll agree a new and unique landscape of music has indeed emerged in this great talent.
