Portland, Oregon-based guitarist Eric Skye is well-known for his arrangements of jazz and folk tunes. Eric also has a long relationship with the Santa Cruz Guitars, and his 00-SKYE signature model, a 12-fret 00 built with cocobolo and spruce, is one of the company’s most popular instruments. In this video, Eric plays his fingerstyle arrangement of the jazz standard “Stella by Starlight.”
