During the period from 1965 to 1975, he studied and traveled with some of the legendary figures in the story of blues guitar. These included Rev.

The Ultimate Country Blues Package is the culmination of 5 decades of in the trenches blues guitar experience, knowledge, and wisdom. "Grossman in particular, has been responsible almost single-handedly for maintaining and enriching the tradition of folk guitar playing. He has made himself master of countless traditional blues styles." - Music Week "Stefan Grossman has done just about everything one can do in the field of music. He has been, among other things, a performer, a recording artist, a record company founder, a video producer, a literary agent, a writer, an A&R man, a concert promoter, a booking agent, a record producer, a student, a teacher, and a music historian. But it is his success is illuminating classic and contemporary blues and other fingerstyle guitar techniques that has made him one of the most important people in fingerpicking guitar in the history of the phenomenon" - Acoustic Guitar I first met Stefan Grossman in the States years ago and we became extremely good friends. Personally, I have learned a great deal from him. Let's face it, he needs very little introduction from me as a blues artist and connoissuer in blues." - Eric Clapton
