Gordon Giltrap, MBE (born April 6, 1948, in Brenchley, Kent but grew up in Deptford, South East London) is an English guitarist, composer and sometime vocalist. His music crosses several genres (from jazz to progressive rock), and he has been described as "one of the most revered [British] guitarists of his generation" and has been praised by fellow musicians including Steve Rothery, Jimmy Page and Ritchie Blackmore. His most popular and well-known song, Heartsong from late 1977 (and included on his classic Perilous Journey LP) was an instrumental hit in early 1978, Giltrap himself cites fellow UK guitarists Bert Jansch, Hank Marvin, John Renbourne and Pete Townshend among his influences.
