Hey Joe Guitar founder Joe Berger is a fourth-generation New Yorker. He lives with his family in the city.Joe Berger got hooked on music at the age 12, when he received his first instrument, a guitar, from his great-uncle. “I locked myself in my room and played for the whole weekend,” he recalls. “From that point on, I had my guitar with me all the time.”Fortunately, many of Joe’s friends in his hometown of Great Neck NY were children of famous musicians, so he had plenty of practice opportunities. His first group was called “The Living Few,” in which he performed with band mates Ted Wender and David Schwartz, both of whom have made their mark on the music industry.Joe went on to the California Institute of the Arts, majoring in composition. There he studied with accomplished musicians and composers like William Douglas, Morton Subotnick, and Ravi Shankar..A fourth-generation New Yorker, Joe returned to his home state and settled in NYC, performing with many music greats, including B.B, King, Al Jarreau, Beth Midler, Barry Manilow, John Abercrombie, and Todd Rundgren, among numerous others (Please the list below). He is a fan of the Beatles and Miles Davis, and has also drawn inspiration from the famous Long Island, NY jazz guitarist, the late Joe Monk, whose creative teaching methods and style were legendary.
