As a \u201csomething for everyone\u201d solution, we offer three very different guitar concert evenings falling in February and March. Based on the videos, we dare expect wow-experiences.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left;\">On Valentine\u2019s Day, 14 February, Finnish musician <b>Petteri Sariola<\/b> takes the stage in the Kumu Art Museum\u2019s auditorium, performing on an acoustic guitar while also taking on the roles of bassist and drummer. Even in 2009, Finnish media reported on the young fifth-generation musician who started playing guitar at the age of seven and wanted to become a rock guitarist, but at the time failed to gather a band around him. The percussive fingerstyle virtuoso has released five solo albums during his career, the most recent \u201cVoyager\u201d seeing daylight last September.

Music magazines such as <i>NME<\/i> and <i>Guitar World<\/i> have called him a phenomenon, and no wonder!

The musicians of Queen have reportedly shared the quartet\u2019s guitar performance of \u201cBohemian Rhapsody\u201d on their own pages, and the group has been joined onstage, at their own initiative, by both <b>Andrea Bocelli<\/b> and The Police\u2019s guitarist <b>Andy Summers<\/b>. The quartet\u2019s repertoire also includes many arrangements of theme songs from films and TV series.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Can the measure of skillful guitar playing and an unforgettable concert evening be determined by how many necks the &hellip; <span class=\"read-more-excerpt\">Read more<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":155590,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[50],"tags":[13233,18434,22106,26838,26839,26840,26841,283,291,309],"class_list":["post-155608","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-estonia","tag-concert-2","tag-rock-2","tag-andrea-bocelli-2","tag-petteri-sariola","tag-luca-stricagnoli","tag-40-fingers","tag-guitarist","tag-music","tag-events","tag-tallinn"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/155608","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=155608"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/155608\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":155609,"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/155608\/revisions\/155609"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/155590"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=155608"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=155608"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/balticguide.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=155608"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
