A Little Bit About Esteban
His name was given him by legendary classical guitarist Andres Segovia, who called him "Esteban" during his years of study with the master in Spain (1974-1978) and in the United States. Born Stephen Paul in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1948, son of a steel mill worker and one of four children. Esteban saw his first guitar in a shop window when he was 8 years old. His uncle bought it for him, a nylon-stringed Goya. Esteban taught himself to play guitar. By the age 12, he was already teaching his peers for $3 a lesson. Esteban was also a decent baseball pitcher but was blinded in his left eye by a line drive as a 12 year old.
He went to Carnegie Mellon University and doubled majored in music and English. While going to school he still managed to teach 150 students a week and also played at night clubs. After college Segovia gave private lessons to Esteban at his home in Madrid. Esteban studied day after day under Segovia.
