What if we told you that one of the most gifted guitar blues players today was born in a country famous more for football than guitar heroes? Or that he became a TED`x speaker when he was just 16 years old? Or that he could barely say anything in English when he arrived in America to fulfill his dream of becoming a professional blues musician? Artur Menezes is a true inspiration for people who may have doubts about themselves, but their dream is much bigger than fear.  We spoke with Artur for almost an hour, because he is such an amazing storyteller. During the interview we asked him about his family, impressive work ethic, how he was chosen by Eric Clapton to play at Crossroads Guitar Festival and to describe the Joy of sharing the stage with legends of the blues: Eric Clapton or Buddy Guy.  We encourage you to give it a listen and enjoy our conversation with one of the best blues players there is right now. In our opinion at least :) Apart from his incredible guitar and songwriting skills, at the end of the day, you may find Artur a humble young musician who happens to have a great time in his life because he`s doing what he loves to do.    PS. Since we are a Polish Podcast let us assure we tried our best to keep it professional. It was our first interview fully conducted in English language and we tried our best to make it listenable for you.  We encourage you to follow our Facebook profile - https://www.facebook.com/PickPlease/ and Instagram - https://tiny.pl/cxk21  music: Łukasz Wojciechowski LINKS to Artur Menezes social media: Official site - https://tiny.pl/d75vm  Instagram - https://tiny.pl/d7565  Facebook - https://tiny.pl/d756m  Youtube - https://tiny.pl/d7585  X - https://tiny.pl/d75v9  Music: #2 (2012) - https://tiny.pl/d75bb  Drive Me (2015) - https://tiny.pl/d75zh  Keep Pushing (2018) - https://tiny.pl/d75zx  Fading Away (2020) - https://tiny.pl/d75zm  “AM/FM” (EP) (2023) - https://tiny.pl/d7583   Artur Menezes profile at MI College of Contemporary Music - https://tiny.pl/d75v3  Artur Menezes (Wikipedia) - https://tiny.pl/d75vd  Euphony Pickups (check them out if you`re looking for Artur Menezes signature pickups or any other pickups for your guitar): Facebook - https://tiny.pl/d756v  Instagram - https://tiny.pl/d7568  Official Page - https://tiny.pl/d756s  VIDEO: Ted Talk - De Fortaleza para o mundo (From Fortaleza to the World) -  https://tiny.pl/d758l  Everyone Loves Guitar - Artur Menezes Interview https://tiny.pl/d75vn  Artur Menezes Guitar Courses: JTC Guitar - https://tiny.pl/d75br Truefire - https://tiny.pl/d75bw
