Born on the US Navy Base, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, Guillory played piano and guitar as a child and electric guitar as a high school student in Florida. He also studied music at Roosevelt University in Chicago 1965-69. While there, he recorded two albums with the Cryan' Shames as bass player. Leaving University he acquired a Martin D-35 and travelled Europe as an acoustic solo performer. Guillory came to earn the reputation of one of the best guitarists ever. Many guitarists today emulate the techniques Guillory evolved in the early 70's while living in Spain. He performed frequently as a guest artists for recordings and films with, among others, Al Stewart, Donovan, Mick Jagger, Buggles, Barbara Dickson and Nick Heyward. Guillory released "Isaac Guillory", a self-titled album in 1974. For a while Guillory went on to play jazz fusion and record with Pacific Eardrum, but from circa 1986 concentrated on his solo performances (which put him up-close with more intimate small audiences) and sharing his understanding of music; touring, creating his own online guitar school, and lecturing at the Guildhall School Of Music in London. He published five more CD's on his own independent label, Personal Records. As a performer he was dedicated to sharing his gift with both audience and fellow musicians, and as a teacher he never hesitated to share in a manner that others could understand.

Isaac Guillory passed away in 2000. His legacy is the music that only he could cause to come forth from a guitar with such apparent grace, pleasure and ease.
