Paul Pappas

Paul Pappas is an American musician and guitar transcriber. He has worked on several books for Hal Leonard. Paul has transcribed for several popular bands across a wide range of genres including Aerosmith, Blink-182, Joe Satriani, Soundgarden, and Weezer. He was also shortly interviewed for the book "Learn How To Transcribe For Guitar". He had a band called the Paul Pappas Trio. He also holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music from California State University. Other than that, very little is known about Paul.
He started out transcribing when he was a kid, as he really wanted to play his favorite songs on guitar. He would listen carefully to each phrase in each song and try to transcribe it.
His last name is of Greek descent.
