Tal Farlow was a talented jazz guitarist. Born in Greensboro, North Carolina on June 7, 1921 as Talmage Holt Farlow. Farlow is nearly as famous for his reluctance to play as for his fast, bebop influenced work and the occasional use of percussive finger tapping. Tal Farlow did not take up the guitar until he was already 21, but within a year was playing professionally and in 1948 was with Marjorie Hyams' band.
