Lee Hodgson
A professional guitarist since 1979, Lee is mainly known as a country picker although he actually plays many different styles, often featuring MIDI-guitar (piano, strings etc.). Lee is a senior instructor at London’s Guitar Institute. He has also made many tutorial DVDs for Lick Library (featuring his wonderful Fret-King guitars of course!).

Lee has been playing on the British country scene since 1987, appearing with Memphis Roots at Wembley Arena and the Royal Albert Hall plus countless clubs, festivals etc. Lee continues to play UK country festivals and clubs with the Steve Cherelle Band and Boney Fingers and also plays major festivals and club venues in France with the Billy Curtis Band.

Lee is also working with a 60s/70s style band, the Stray Kool Kats. He has also done plenty of jazz-funk, pop & soul gigs too, including tours with chart-toppers Odyssey, George McRae, and Top 10 act, Bobby Thurston – an after show party presented the opportunity to jam with Stevie Wonder's Wonderlove!

Lee has been a magazine columnist and transcriber for Guitarist since the mid-80s and for Guitar Techniques since 1994 and has written a book, Hot Country.
