![Session guitarist Larry Saltzman joins Vienna Live to present the art of the session guitarist.](https://simeonmorrow.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Untitled%20design%20(3)%20copy-3.jpg?width=680&height=383&name=Untitled%20design%20(3)%20copy-3.jpg) Session guitarist Larry Saltzman poses for a portrait in Fall, 2018

NEW YORK CITY: Maybe you don’t know his name, but you’ve surely fallen in love with the sound of his guitar: Larry Saltzman is the maverick session guitarist who’s performed and recorded with a who’s who of stellar artists including Simon & Garfunkel, Bette Midler, and David Johansen to name a few.

He’s also on on speed dial when a film calls for an actor to play guitar and requires expert coaching, such as teaching Timothée Chalamet to strum like Bob Dylan in *A Complete Unknown* or Meryl Streep in *Ricki and the Flash*.

Let’s welcome Larry to Vienna Live and discover the art of the session guitarist!
