Abstract

Cenk Erdoğan is a celebrated virtuoso of nylon-string, electric and baritone perdesiz [fretless] guitars. As well as being a highly prolific recording artist, he has performed concerts and delivered masterclasses using fretless guitar all over the world. In this interview, Erdoğan discusses his fretless guitar journey to date – from his initial pursuit and study of the instrument, influenced by master Erkan Oğur, to the development of his own highly distinctive approach and style – and articulates his feelings about how the fretless guitar allows him to reflect and emphasize his identity as a Turkish musician on the international stage.
