Roger Hudson began playing Rock and Blues guitar by ear at age 12. He began teaching guitar at 16. His desire to be a composer later led him into classical training and ultimately earning a Master of Music degree in music theory from Georgia State University. Roger has had several compositions and collections published by Mel Bay. The United Kingdom's magazine Classical Guitar described his music as "sparkling and wonderful". Fingerstyle Magazine regularly offers Roger's successful Fingerstyle Basics column which provides playable new music and tips on guitar technique.

Hudson has to his credit three releases of original guitar music: Guitarchitecture (1994) was his debut collection featuring Fox and the Hounds, Gardens Waltz and others as well as arrangements such as Paul Desmond's Take Five. Guitar Peace (2004) is a collection of tranquil compositions. Many of the guitar solos on Guitar Peace are lullabies and some were written with guitar students in mind.

With 2009 came the much anticipated release of Delta. Delta is a collection of guitar solos as well as duets and collaborations. Delta is also Roger's first CD introducing his steel string guitar playing as well as a foray into oud (Arabic lute) and Mediterranean influences.

Presently, Roger is working on a variety of projects including songwriting and multimedia. He has had a lifelong journey involving creative exploration. He has the distinction of being the first guitarist to perform at Nashville's Schermerhorn Symphony Center with the Nashville Chamber Orchestra. He has performed live on Public Radio numerous times and has also appeared on the Martha Stewart Show. Hudson's song cycle entitled The Sayings of Yogi Berra was premiered at New York's Carnegie Hall in 2010.

Roger appears frequently in live performances on solo guitar. He also plays the oud and composes for the Mediterranean music duo Bella Musiqa. His recordings are available at CDBaby, iTunes and other online media outlets. As a guitar instructor he is on the music faculties of Middle Tennessee State University and Austin Peay State University.
