Sultans of Shred: Greeley Teen’s World-Class Guitar Chops Run In La Familia
Greeley’s Liam Garcia is 17, a junior at Greeley West High School, and by all accounts plays guitar better than just about anyone else in the world his age (and honestly, most people twice his age). He traveled to London in September for the Young Guitarist of the Year competition as the only American selected for the finals. He plans to study at the Berklee College of Music, but the biggest exhilaration is playing with his dad Socrates on stage.
