New Music from Stash Wyslouch

Peghead Nation guitar instructor releases a creative collection of solo guitar treatments of traditional and original songs.

Guitarist, singer, and songwriter Stash Wyslouch teaches the popular Bluegrass Guitar Fingerboard Mastery course on Peghead Nation, showing you his step-by-step approach to decoding the mysteries of the guitar neck through the lens of bluegrass, old-time, and country music.

In his own music, Stash uses his comprehensive command of the fretboard to deconstruct common forms and create wildly inventive, exciting arrangements of well-known classics and completely original genre-stretching songs of his own, with lyrics as compelling and wonderfully surprising as his playing. Now, Stash gives us a welcomed gift of 18 tracks featuring his guitar and voice on his latest album of new music, Solo. This stripped-down setting is perfect for getting a hit of Stash’s wild creativity, improvisation, and wide range of influences, with elements of bluegrass, spiritual songs, an occasional splash of death metal, and a whole lot of pure, one-of-a-kind Stash.

In the video above, Stash performs the classic song “Gotta Travel On” in the Peghead Nation studio. The song is credited to The Weavers, Paul Clayton, Larry Ehrlich, and Dave Lazer as songwriters, Bill Monroe recorded a classic version of this song in 1959, and it was first recorded by Pete Seeger in 1958. Stash gives it his great twist in this version and on Solo.

Follow Stash on his social media channels and be sure to catch him in concert!
