Guitar Images: 25 Acoustic Guitar Solos

(2-CD set) Companion dual CD for quot;Guitar Imagesquot; (MPB 22193). The solos in this collection present a myriad of moods on the guitar. They were written to be very expressive, contemplative pieces which could be performed in a variety of secular and sacred settings. Most of the pieces are from three solo collections previously released, entitled quot;Guitar Meditationsquot; (MPB 22029), quot;Guitar Airs and Balladsquot; (MPB 22039) and quot;Timeless Solos for Guitarquot; (MPB 22041). Some of the pieces were scored for 7-string guitar; others, 6-string guitar. Many of the solos use a quot;cross-pickingquot; technique alternating higher position closed strings and open strings, resulting in a quot;harp-likequot; effect. A number of the pieces are in Dropped D tuning, highlighting the rich resonance that tuning gives the instrument. Explore the diverse moods presented in this collection! Performed by William Bay. 60 minutes.
