Gregg "Happy Guitar" Haynes

Gregg Haynes, a native of St. Louis, Missouri was born to play the guitar.

His desire and passion to play began at the tender age of 8.

Haynes is self-taught because his parents could not afford guitar lessons, but with a deep religious background he was taught to use his faith to develop his ear training. Gregg further developed his style by listening to records of guitarist, Wes Montgomery, commercial jingles and on the job training at the St. Paul Church of God in Christ influenced by Shirley Tabb and his cousin Daryl Darden.



The nickname "Happy Guitar" was dubbed by his cousin Dr. Levi R. King, Sr. because of the "Happiness" that is reflected in his guitar playing.
