Andreas Varady started his ascent to mastering jazz guitar at a very young age. Born of Hungarian Gypsy descent, Varady was raised in a small town in Slovakia and first began to play the guitar at four years old, tutored by his father, Bandi. He was taught to learn songs by ear; his first tune the “Blue Bossa” jazz standard, and from then on he has continued to pursue the world of jazz music. He has idolized his guitar hero George Benson, and from his early years has often been compared to the guitar legend.
