Mark Hanson, Part 1: “Parasol Spin”
It’s difficult to imagine the contemporary fingerstyle guitar landscape without Mark Hanson. As a performer, Hanson’s recorded works include four solo CDs, albums with duet partner Doug Smith and the Acoustic Guitar Summit (a guitar quartet that features Hanson, Smith, Terry Robb, and Paul Chasman), as well as tracks on numerous compilations, including the 2005 Grammy-winning Pink Guitar. But Hanson’s impact reaches even further than his fretboard skills alone. A former editor at Frets magazine, Hanson founded his own company Accent on Music in 1985, publishing a highly influential line of fingerstyle instruction and transcription books. In 1998, Hanson began hosting the Accent on Music Guitar Seminar series in Portland, Oregon, and he is a favorite guest instructor at many festivals and workshops.

In this video, shot at Hanson’s home near Portland, Oregon, Mark plays his original composition “Parasol Spin.”
