HANOI, July 10 (Xinhua) -- The 2017 Vietnam International Fingerstyle Guitar Festival will take place here on July 18, and in Ho Chi Minh City on July 19.
The festival is highlighted with participation of five well-known artists, including Justin King from the United States, Jacques Stotzem from Belgium, Agustin Amigo from Spain, Akihiro Tanaka from Japan and Duy Phong from Vietnam, the Vietnam Fingerstyle Guitar Organization announced on Monday.
The two-hour concerts will be held at the Youth Theater in Hanoi and the Ho Chi Minh City Conservatory of Music.
Fingerstyle guitar is the technique of playing the guitar by plucking the strings directly with the fingertips, fingernails, or picks attached to fingers, as opposed to flatpicking -- plucking individual notes with a single plectrum.
