After more than 3,000 concerts across the globe, Pierre Bensusan celebrates 40 years as a live performer with "Encore", a 3-CD, 35-track journey of live performances spanning his entire career and showcasing his risk-taking, in-the-moment style.

"I would say that Encore is probably my most truthful recording ever, because the studio is not always a very dangerous place. You can stop and start again and the intimacy there is just between the artist and the music. Onstage, however, there is an urgency and a context I adapt to and I get to take people along as I take chances and have the opportunity to bring the music to place it’s never been before. These are moments in time reflecting ways of approaching these songs that I never did before and never did again.”

The entire collection of pieces from the English version of The Guitar Book in one downloadable PDF songbook.

"Pierre Bensusan's "Guitar Book" is simply one of the best guitar books ever published. Virtually all of the pieces from his first 4 recordings are transcribed in very accessible format. All in tablature, mostly his preferred DADGAD tuning. In general, the pieces are arranged from easiest to most difficult, and most are accessible for an intermediate player. If it were just about the transcriptions, this would certainly be an extraordinary work. However, the "extras" take it to another level. Poetry, art, cooking recipes fill in along with some of his thoughts about playing the guitar. This work is truly distinguished from other guitar publications. Obviously, this book is not for a mass audience, but if you like Pierre Bensusan and play the guitar, you simply MUST have this." - Amazon Customer Review from jdwyer

The entire collection of pieces from the album Altiplanos in one downloadable PDF songbook.

"Yet another guitar playing masterpiece from Pierre... Pierre's fluid style once again reveals him to be one of the most expressive pickers around today. From the depths of the moody Scarabée to the harmonic heights of Tacita, this is a most uplifting and emotional listening experience. Perfect for moments of solitude or a romantic encounter and hopefully it will encourage more players to attempt to master the acoustic guitar." - Guitar Techniques (UK)

"Intuite stands as the finest, most artistic and passionate example of anything composed and recorded on the instrument. I am amazed at every phrase, every turn, every nuance. But then again, consider the source! I couldn't mean that more... you can quote me." - John Schroeter, Fingerstyle Guitar Magazine (USA)

The entire collection of pieces from the album Vividly in one downloadable PDF songbook.

Following his 9th solo guitar instrumental album Intuite, that won several awards, and Altiplanos which made Pierre the 2008 Reader's Choice of Guitar Player Magazine Award winner (USA) for Best World Music Guitar Player, Pierre Bensusan celebrates his 35th career anniversary and is now offering a 10th solo album, entitled Vividly.

Similar to the previous 9 albums, the title of this new opus is contained in one name, one word, one vivid image, that evokes a feeling of contentedness in the world.

It indeed takes almost a world of life between each of Pierre's albums, a reflection of an artist in constant, rapidly-moving diversity and transition... an artist who each time offers a touch of blue sky, who constantly proposes new music of a different color and nature.
