愛瑞克·洛切是英國指風（Fingerstyle）吉他手的領(lǐng)軍人物之一，其作品不同于常見的藝術(shù)風格，但有涵蓋現(xiàn)有藝術(shù)風格的表現(xiàn)形式，同時又隱約受到古典音樂的影響。細節(jié)精致，極盡技巧，每首歌都是令人印象深刻的融合產(chǎn)物。潛藏于其中的是一顆造詣極高的音樂頭腦、臻于完美的演奏技巧以及極深的音樂天賦。由于他獨特的彈奏風格，他的兩張專輯《The Perc-U-Lator》（1999）和《Spin》（2000）則被奉為“現(xiàn)代指風之經(jīng)典”。

Fingerstyle guitar virtuoso Eric Roche was born in New York City on December 4, 1967, but raised in Tralee, County Kerry, Ireland. He studied classical guitar in his youth but ultimately developed his own unique style, honing a percussive approach to polyphonic technique that embraced elements of folk, country, pop, and traditional Irish music. Despite his passion for guitar, Roche nevertheless earned a degree in accounting, and practiced briefly while living in London during the early '90s. In 1992, however, he traded in his suit and tie to study at the Musicians' Institute, and four years later was named head of its guitar department.
Roche issued his debut LP, The Perc U Lator, in 1999 to great acclaim. A year later, he accepted the position of head of guitar at Guildford's Academy of Contemporary Music, but in 2001 found time to release his sophomore effort, Spin. He also wrote regular columns on fingerstyle performance for the magazines Guitar Techniques and Acoustic, and headlined master classes and workshops on three continents. In 2004 Roche signed to the P3 label to issue his third album, With These Hands, and that same year released his book The Acoustic Guitar Bible; both achievements were tempered by the beginning of a battle with cancer, the illness that claimed his life on September 6, 2005.
