Guitarist, bassist, arranger, composer, producer, audio/electronics engineer and inventor Jon Szenics has been playing professionally in the greater NYC area for a while now.

Check out a few tunes and the lineup of world class talent appearing on two of his upcoming albums: Escape and Left Unsaid…a collection of lovesongs.

Jon’s self-designed fretless guitar is one of two audio-engineering patents he holds, with many more in the works. In his hands,this awesome instrument serves up unique soundscapes only a “guitar without boundaries” can deliver!

All guitar tracks posted here were recorded with Jon’s patented direct-analog recording interface. Each note is analog-faithful from the picked, plucked, hammered, glissed or strummed string straight thru to the mixing board but without using microphones, speaker iso booths or boxes!
