GUITAR MEDITATIONS - CONTEMPLATIVE SOLOS FOR PLECTRUM GUITAR
by William Bay
Photo
Influenced by a wide range of musical styles, these concert pieces are meant to be played with a pick, although they can be performed by a fingerstyle guitarist. The intent is not to showcase sparkling technique, but to convey a palate of musical colors and moods. Many are impressionistic in character. Some are musical reflections of thoughts, moods and emotions. Some were scored for a 7-string guitar, with the 7th string either tuned to low A or low B. However, all may be successfully performed on a 6-string guitar. Note/tab. Intermediate, 24 pp. Free audio downloads available.
