Ricky King (born March 12, 1946, as Hans Lingenfelder in Rastatt, Germany) is a guitarist, writer, arranger and guitar teacher who stepped onto the scene in the mid-70's at a time when instrumental guitar music was out of public interest except for a handful of hardliner-fans. Completely and unexpectedly, he became successful, established himself and today, in the new millenium, he is still active and playing.----The music coming out of the guitar is fantastic, and heard in the studio with the orchestra is out of this world; may he continue for many a year!:)
