Terence has been playing two guitars at the same time while singing since 1996. In 1997 he composed music exclusively on two guitars for the guided meditaion/relaxation CD “Progressive Insight”. The first album of it’s kind, all the instruments (except the drums) were performed using tapping technique. The bass and rhythm guitar are tapped by the left hand, while the right hand taps out the the lead guitar, and is layered with a guitar synthesizer to produce piano, strings, organ, and rhodes sounds (both guitars are always in standard guitar tuning). In 2009 Terence debuted the Terence Hansen/Heeres Double-Neck Acoustic at the Acoustic Strings Festival in Raalte, Netherlands, (Gitaar Plus Magazine, Aug 2009). Terence has since been featured in Guitar Maker Magazine (Winter 2009), Guitar Acoustic Magazine (April 2010), Akustik Gitarre Magazine (Nov 2009). Terence has been perfoming his solo show exculsively on the acoustic double-neck, sometimes using a looper, porch board, and vocal harmonizer (not an auto-tuner). Terence will debut his signature Heeres electric double-neck version of the acoustic at Guitar Nation London 2011. Besides others Terence performed together with Human Rights, Robert Palmer, Steve Vai, Albert Lee and Mark Williams (son of John). Terence’s past gigs include 3 1/2 years with the School of Rock as school Music Director, Talent Development Director, Little Rock Director, production panelist for Summer Jam 2009, columnist for JAM Magazine, songwriting coach for Singing For Success ’03, ’04, mentor for Season for Non-Violence song camp ’07, musical director for Progressive Insights guided meditation/relaxation program, co-film scorer for the full-length feature film NightFall, a Music Recreation Director/Job Coach for people with developmental disabilities, and as a popular but now semi-retired private guitar instructor/mentor. Terence has played on and produced scores of singer/songwriters, commercials, bands, and poets.
