Hiroaki Tagawa is a blind guitarist known for his unique style of playing with his left hand over the neck. Tagawa started playing the piano at the age of 3.Losing eyesight from congenital visual impairment by age 5, he got to devote himself in music more and more.When he was 10, he met his lifelong partner, the guitar.As any instruction books/videos didn’t tell him how to play through his eyes, Tagawa developed by himself a very unique playing style with his left hand over the neck while he tried to press the strings on the fretboard like the piano.That’s where his project name “FretPiano” came from.
